[Reid Mansion]
The sunlight filtered weakly through the tall windows of the Reid mansion and everything gleamed, much like the woman who now stood at the far end of the dining table, swirling honey into her tea as though the world revolved around her fingertips.
Olivia Reid had always looked the part, refined, poised and every inch the picture of elegance.But behind that soft smile was a woman built of ambition and envy, the kind that learned early on that beauty and timing could open doors money never could.
Twenty years ago, she had walked into Benjamin Reid's life as a young socialite who was clever, striking and hungry for power and money.
Olivia Grant was an event planner's daughter with dreams too big for her bank account but she was quick to learn the ways of men like Benjamin.
She had laughed at his jokes, listened when his wife didn't and stayed long enough after one late-night charity gala to make sure she wasn't forgotten.
