No Longer His: The Woman Who Won It All

“My fiancé, Ethan, told me we'd elope tonight to secure our ranches and families' futures, just as planned. But when I woke up, the world had been violently ripped from beneath me. The marriage certificate on my nightstand bore his name, but not mine. It read Sabrina Todd and Ethan Clark. My half-sister, Sabrina, had been married to my fiancé, the man I was supposed to marry, the man I loved. I overheard their cruel plan: Ethan would steal my inheritance through Sabrina, while I, the true heir, would be reduced to his mistress in my own home. The betrayal was a physical blow, worse than any fight. They paraded their stolen happiness, publicly humiliating me at every turn. When I refused to yield, Ethan, the man I' d loved since childhood, brutally kicked me in front of everyone at the local store. Days later, he tried to kill me, spooking my horse with a rifle shot and then walking towards me, injured, with a predatory smile. How could they do this? How could a man I trusted, and my own father, conspire to destroy me so completely? How could my own blood be so cold? I was alone, broken, and cornered. That' s when a lawyer knocked on the door, delivering news that changed everything: I had won the federal land lottery.”
