Six years
ago, Harold Dalton framed me for theft and sent me to jail to steal my diamond
discovery. He gave his daughter to Jack Clarke in exchange for the excavation
rights. Today, I’m free, and I’m coming for him with a vengeance. Six years of
cruelty make beasts out of men. I’m going to take back what he stole from me,
and more. I’m not interested in his properties or shares. I don’t want his
small change. I want his biggest asset. Beautiful, mentally unstable, Angelina
Dalton-Clarke.
Worth
billions, she’s the wealthiest widow in the country, and also the craziest. Her
self-harming tendencies had Jack declare her incompetent before he put a gun to
his head and blew out his brains. Lina isn’t allowed to touch a cent of her
riches. Her father manages her finances. He has all the signing power. As her
husband, that chore will fall to me. But if she thinks I only want her for her
money, she’s sadly mistaken.

It's quite a ruthless story of politics of money grubbing power. Where a woman is used as pawn.... bartered, sold, pawned in the hands of viciously ambitious men.
They're hell bent on abusing her, torturing her, auctioning her to suit their own personal vendetta agenda
Poor, trapped Angelina Dalton-Clarke is the lone tragic princess who's forced to marry again and yet again, cause she's sitting on money making mine.
Story is filled to the brim with pathos, helplessness, and penury.
Story is filled to the brim with pathos, helplessness, and penury.
YES....penury.
Richest people on earth starve for bread, coffers bursting with monies and yet can't buy daily necessities, closets full of silks and velvet, yet wear a moth eaten shawl to feel safe
I like how charmaine is passionate about this story, that much is apparent.
Damien Hart is a man wronged, full speed ahead on vengeance highway.
"Six years is a long time, long enough to soak in the juices of your vengeance until your heart is cooked in all that bitter acid. Six years of cruelty and torture make beasts out of men. Six years in the company of the hardest criminals and most notorious mobsters also make the right connections and a fortune."
He's going to steamroll all his enemies and hasn't a shred of sympathy or mercy in his heart. He wants his time, his fortune and a pound of their flesh!! His heart is coloured charcoal black like the diamonds in his riverbed. But he owns them. He's creating a market for them
I love a man with a plan!!!
Yet he's very sympathetic and loving towards Lina though and the progression of their love, trust and loyalty is what THIS story is all about
Very skillful in narrative and intricate in plot, it's thrilling, enthralling and engaging.
4 stars for "Bat saving Loons"
