I Set His Place for Twelve Years: A Billionaire Marriage of Betrayal, Silent Neglect & the Wife Who Stopped Waiting (Wives In Their Villain Era Book 1)

Twelve years. One perfect marriage. And no idea who he was really coming home from.

For twelve years, Jessica Ashford set a flawless table for a husband who treated her like furniture — running his home, his foundation, his entire glittering Manhattan world, invisibly and without a word of thanks.

Then she found the receipts. The Tribeca apartment. The anniversary dinner charged on a night he swore he was in Boston. And his glossy new "creative director," sitting in Jessica's chair, at Jessica's table, beside Jessica's husband.

Most wives scream. Most wives beg.

Jessica did the math.

Because what Royce never bothered to learn is that everything he has runs on her — the donors, the contracts, the quiet little company that owns the spine of his empire. So she stopped setting his place. She lawyered up. And she let the man who threw her away watch it all come apart — in couture, in front of every person whose opinion he's ever needed.

The widower down the hall already thinks she's remarkable.

Royce is about to find out why.

He had twelve years to see her. Now he gets to watch her leave.
