Chapter 6 Ruby watched her storm out , her eyes calculating . Luke had sent her abroad to study , bought her an apartment , introduced her to high society life . And now he was divorcing Leah for her . First it was Leah , now it was her turn . If Leah could become Mrs. Harper , why couldn't she ? Two years ago , she'd knelt outside that mansion on the hilltop , staring at the luxury spread before her . Back then she'd thought , someday those doors would open for her . But becoming Mrs. Harper wasn't going to be as simple as she'd imagined . After Grandpa agreed , I had no chance to negotiate the divorce with Luke directly . I knew he'd gotten the news . I thought he'd come find me right away to hash things out . But days passed , and he stayed holed up in Vegas . Worst case scenario , the law had my back . After two years of separation , either spouse could file for divorce unilaterally without the other's consent . But I figured Luke and the Harper family wouldn't just let it slide like that . If he agreed right now , the divorce would be over in a heartbeat . So I kept waiting . Finally , he pushed through the front door again . Small talk was pointless . He cut straight to the chase . " You walk away with nothing if we divorce . Is this just some tantrum ? " Before our wedding , Grandpa had one demand - sign a prenup . If the marriage went south , I wouldn't get a penny . Luke refused , but Grandpa wouldn't budge either . He didn't trust Luke and absolutely wouldn't tie Harper Industries ' massive interests to his personal feelings . Eventually , Luke compromised and used his own money to set up a trust fund for me . The trust belonged to me as pre marital property , containing cash , stocks , and real estate . After years of management and appreciation , it was now worth almost eight billion . Sure , eight billion was nothing compared to Harper Industries and the Harper family fortune . But back then , it was every liquid asset Luke could get his hands on after all the fighting . I didn't want his money originally . He'd laughed and told me , " Money gives a woman more security than any man ever could .

" Married couples can be closest strangers , and no matter how much we'd loved each other , it didn't stop us from being enemies now . I stared at him for a long time , remembering how crazy I'd been back then . That first year , my obsession with emotional purity had driven me to say the most vicious things to him . I'd told him to drop dead , to get hit by a truck and torn apart the next time he left the house . How dare he destroy my faith in love and still walk around so brazenly ? At my lowest point , I'd gotten in my car planning to take him down with me . If we all went to hell together , at least the torture would end . But in my lucid moments , I had only one thought . Thank God we never had kids . Thank God that baby never came . I looked at him now . We'd said everything that needed saying . Only calm remained . " You should thank me . You won't have to sneak around with women anymore . " Click . He lit a cigarette and studied me through the smoke . " True . Ruby thanks you too , for making room for her . Really generous of you .
