Does your contract actually stipulate 70 hours a week, or were you fairly compensated for your overtime? If no to either: why did you keep pulling 70 hours a week after the first week? Because if you worked at the same level as someone working 40 hours, with the only difference being you were willing to work 70 for no additional pay, then as an employee you're not worth more than someone working 40 hours a week. You may have actually cheated yourself out of a promotion or even raise simply by pretending working long hours for the same pay would be worth it in the long run.
