Financial queen Elena Rostova once stood atop the world—until Dante, her most trusted deputy and lover, betrayed her and cast her into ruin. After three years in prison, she fell from glory to rock bottom. On her release day, she dressed as a cleaner and walked into Dante’s now dominant financial empire. He failed to recognize her. Her only goal: take back everything, then destroy him with her own hands. While mopping marble floors each day, she secretly scrutinized his accounts. When Dante went long, she shorted; when he sold off assets, she bought them up. His business secrets were anonymously leaked to rivals, and his acquisitions were repeatedly sabotaged at the last minute by an invisible force. He raged like a furious lion hunting his hidden enemy, never glancing down at the quiet cleaner at his feet. At the annual shareholder meeting, Dante was poised to seize the final piece of his empire. Seconds before the vote, Elena shed her uniform. To everyone’s shock, she stepped forward as the largest individual shareholder. She laid out his past betrayal and present crimes one by one. His empire crumbled, abandoned by all. Offered the chance to reclaim her throne, she only turned and left. Vengeance fulfilled—she wanted the crown no more.
