Title: You Got It Bad

​

Audrey Vance is a commercial real estate developer who is on her way to having everything—power, and wealth if this deal goes through. One thing she does not have is the attention of her cold, ambitious husband, Maximus . Starved for intimacy, Audrey falls into a passionate, illicit affair with Julian, a magnetic younger artist who seems to see the woman behind the CEO facade. But as their tryst spirals into an obsession, Audrey’s life begins to dismantle: corporate secrets leak, millions go missing, and a "deranged" ex-girlfriend begins stalking her.

​

When Audrey discovers that Julian isn’t a chaotic lover but a calculated conman hired by her ruthless business rival to destroy her empire, she realizes she hasn't just been cheating—she’s been played. With her marriage in ruins and her legacy on the line, Audrey must weaponize the very seduction techniques Julian taught her to turn the tables, proving that in Vegas, the house doesn't always win—the Queen does.
