In "The Empire I Gave Away" Damien Sterling divorced Maya to be with his first love, everyone assumed she'd disappear quietly. What they didn't know was that Maya had secretly built Sterling Industries herself—using her family's resources, connections, and brilliance—while her husband took all the credit. Now free and armed with the truth, Maya systematically dismantles everything she created, determined to make him understand exactly what he threw away. But as her revenge unfolds, she discovers that destroying an empire is far easier than destroying the man she once loved—and that the only person getting destroyed is herself. Over five years, two continents, and countless impossible choices, Maya must decide whether reclaiming her power means holding onto her vengeance, or finally letting it go.
