That was actually all she wanted, but her fiance was the son of a powerful man with connections, and she, her family were rich, yes, but they didn't have connections. They were new money.
She didn't think that revenge was possible. Her boyfriend, Clifford, was a playboy, who 'repented' because he loved her 'too' much. She and her influencer friends supported his father with her platform during the election, even though his parents didn't like her.
After Mr. Marshall won the election, everything changed. The governor's wife slid a check over the table to Tessa, demanding she broke up with her son.
The thick-skinned woman even claimed that her husband didn't need Tessa's help to win the governorship election.
Tessa tried to reason with Clifford, only to find out that her dear boyfriend used her for her fame. He never really changed his old ways. He was just too good at playing the game.
