Three Steps from Having Nothing

From the back cover

In her third year of marriage, Lilian watches her husband Victor Lyon, the most prominent man in Sagedale's elite circle, go viral for throwing a grand wedding to Carol Braun, the low-income student he sponsors. She sends her wishes instead of causing a scene, and the rich wives of Sagedale's elite circle dismiss her as a joke. Victor insists he was only acting to fulfill the death wish of Carol's ill grandfather.

Lilian smiles and believes him, because she has lived this before. In her previous life, her hysterics drove Victor to ruin her father Terrence Holcomb's company until debtors pushed him to jump, and to have her legs broken before she was thrown into a mental asylum, where she died after three years of torment. Reborn, she no longer wants his love, only his wealth. While Victor honeymoons with Carol and attends her prenatal checkups, Lilian quietly transfers his assets into her name and tricks him into signing a share-transfer agreement. Each betrayal costs him more, and three more will leave him with nothing.
