The Consequence of His Vengeance by Jennie Lucas
4.0
Darius and Letty were in love and planning to elope when she learned that her father used a Ponzi scheme to steal money from his many investors. He stole billions from people within his community and had gotten caught.
Knowing that her family’s reputation was going to be destroyed, Letty did the only living thing she could and lied to Darius so he would move on. She didn’t want him tarnished by her fathers action when he was just starting his tech firm.
Ten years later, Letty is poor and working in a diner supporting her father who was recently released from jail, and Darius is a multi-billionaire. Darius is tricked by her father to find Letty, and when he does accuses her of all manner of horrible things.
He uses her, takes her virginity, and throws her out, treating her like a whore. Six months later, he learns she’s pregnant and forces her into marriage. He also forces her to promise to never see her ill father again or let their baby anywhere near her father.
Darius was such a humongous asshole. Throughout the entire book he ran hot and cold. He wanted Letty, but on his terms. He needed to control her every freakin move.
Letty allowed him to walk all over her so she could keep the peace until she learned of his biggest betrayal. Then she threw his ass out and refused to see him for over 4 weeks. She wouldn’t even let him see their son after his birth.
He sent gifts. She sent them back or donated them. Ditto with flowers. Letters. Any attempt he made to buy himself back into her good graces was quickly sent dismissed, and donated or returned. That was awesome!
The best bit for me was Darius’ groveling. He had to grow up, eat crow and come to terms with his own personal demons before he was able to win his wife back. It was an amazingly good book. I lovededed it!
