Married to the man who bankrupted me

Episode 1 Title: The Night My Father Died and the Billionaire Who Ruined Us Appeared Content: The night my father died, the man who destroyed us sent flowers. White lilies. My father hated white lilies. I was still in the hospital hallway when the delivery man asked, “Are you Miss Aria Lawson?” I nodded, still numb. He handed me the bouquet along with a black envelope. No sympathy card. No apology. Just three words written in sharp, deliberate handwriting: “My condolences. — K.S.” Kade Sterling. The same Kade Sterling who had acquired Lawson Holdings that morning. The same man whose press conference played on every channel while my father collapsed in the boardroom. By evening, our family company was gone. By midnight, my father was gone. And by dawn, I realized something very clear: Kade Sterling didn’t just bankrupt us—he destroyed my family. Three days later, I found myself standing in front of Sterling Group headquarters. Its towering glass walls reflected the city lights like it owned the sky. I forced myself in, demanding to see him. And when he appeared in his office, calm and composed, I slapped him. “Are you done?” he asked, eyes cold. “I will ruin you,” I whispered. And for the first time, he smiled.
