I have been in this same position, I relied on promises for 2 years and what it got me was 6 day workweeks and 14 hour days for a small salary with no upside. All I had to do was ask for a raise, but I never did because I thought I would make the money later. Given the chance again I would have worked 5 day workweeks and regular days. I have nothing to show for that period of my life.

Personally I feel you still own this situation. You can either rip up there paperwork for dramatic effect or ask for (and get) a raise.
