He Owed Me $15,000—And Lost Everything

He thought I’d beg for love—a $15,000 wedding fund was all it took to show me who he really was. When Lily’s boyfriend Carter refuses to honor her one wish—to thank her parents for years of sacrifice—their five-year romance crumbles into icy silence, secret betrayals, and a breakup that turns heartbreakingly transactional. As Carter’s fame as a Twitch star soars, Lily is the quiet genius behind his rise—until he replaces her and his world unravels. But just as he’s exposed for using and discarding women, Lily’s own star begins to rise, and she’s faced with the ultimate choice: settle for less, or claim the life she deserves. What’s worth more—revenge, reconciliation, or freedom? And when the price of love is finally paid, who gets the last laugh?
