My Heart Once Longed for the Distant

After enduring ten years of abuse and seven miscarriages in a contract marriage, Evelyn is publicly humiliated by her husband, Julian Vance. Armed with a $20 million severance and proof of Julian's secret infertility, Evelyn launches a calculated revenge. She pays his former mistresses to expose his "performance issues," destroying his reputation and manhood. Teaming up with corporate raider Alexander Sterling, she dismantles the Vance empire. While Julian meets a tragic end, Evelyn rises from the ashes, finding true love and building a legacy of hope through a foundation dedicated to women's health, finally turning her grief into purpose.
