The Lawyer Queen's Comeback

They had been married for three years, with her playing the devoted homemaker while he built his career as a successful lawyer. When his ex returned seeking his help with her divorce, she hid her jealousy, knowing it was just work—but his neglect of her feelings bred resentment. During a dinner with his friends, their judgmental looks when she admitted being a housewife stung. Before marriage, she had been "the Queen of Litigation"—a star lawyer who sacrificed her career for him. Now, tired of living in his shadow, she left a note and returned to her old firm, where her former colleagues welcomed her back warmly.
