In Love With Three; Despised By Them
"Don't you have self respect as our wife?" Alaric demanded and my steps slowed down before I turned to look at the accusing looks on their three faces.
"That is rich coming from you. Last I checked what we have is a contract, there's nothing real. I can do what I like, you certainly have."
"But four male strippers?" Rhys spat, the disgust and frustration in his voice amused me. "Have you no shame?"
"Absolutely none." I answered with a smirk before walking out and leaving them tongue tied.
They had turned me to this monster who would do anything to not only survive but to come on top everytime. Never would I let them have any power over me.

Ivy St John was the princess of North Port, beautiful, accomplished, untouchable. The golden heir to the wealthiest family in the city, admired by all and desired by many. Most of all, she was adored by the three men she had loved since childhood, heirs to three equally powerful families, each bound to her by marriage.
At least, that's what she thought.
Everything shatters the night Ivy overhears the truth, how much they actually despise her, how they resent her perfection, her name, her very existence. Betrayal comes swiftly, but escape is impossible. A clause in her late father’s will binds her to the very men who loathe her, trapping her in a hell.
What follows is a downward spiral of punishment, manipulation, and quiet cruelty, as the men who had once cherished her become determined to break her for crimes she never committed. But Ivy St. John does not stay broken.
When she finally chooses herself, shedding obedience and reclaiming her body, her pleasure, and her freedom, the balance of power shatters. The woman they tried to break becomes untouchable, and the men who once ruled her world find themselves unraveling.
Control turns into competition.
Her husbands, no longer united in punishment but divided by guilt and desire are each willing to destroy the others to possess the woman they never deserved.
