Mila Sutherland learned the hard way that marrying into the elite Montgomery family came at a price. For seven years, she endured her husband Lysander's cold indifference and their son's cruel comparisons to his "perfect" childhood fiancée.

Heartbroken but determined, Mila walked away—leaving behind the Montgomery name and fortune. She rebuilt her life from scratch, transforming herself into a celebrated fashion designer and artist whose work commanded international acclaim.

Mila had already rewritten her destiny—this time, on her own terms.
