Katherine’s world fell apart when her husband filed for divorce just after her grandfather’s death. She thought it was heartbreak — until she saw him flaunting a luxury car and expensive suits. When he tossed her a $100 bill with a small smiley face drawn on it — the exact mark she’d once added to a bill during her final talk with her grandfather — the truth hit like lightning. The fortune meant for her had somehow ended up in Michael’s hands.

With the help of her grandfather’s old partner and a sharp lawyer named Logan, Katherine uncovered the fraud and forced Michael to return every stolen cent. She used that money to build her dream — a veterinary clinic bearing her grandfather’s name — and found love again with the man who helped her reclaim her life. Today, she keeps that same $100 bill in her wallet, a reminder that betrayal may break your heart, but strength rebuilds it better than before.
