Lysandra was the cherished granddaughter of a legendary gambler, and she threw all of it away to marry Xander. He repaid her with years of quiet cruelty, a mistress kept in plain sight, and a daughter who wasted away in a cold room while her father was elsewhere.
She wakes up years earlier, on the morning she first signed her name away. This time she says nothing, smiles at the same dinner table, and starts moving money and evidence into place before Xander even knows the game has changed. He wants her family's name and her inheritance; she wants him to lose both in public.
