Seven Days To Forget The Billionaire
For three years, Anna Brantley had been the perfect wife to billionaire Mark Brantley. She loved him, supported his empire, and quietly endured the growing distance between them.
But Mark had never truly let go of his childhood sweetheart, Vicky.
Tired of being the wife he could live without, Anna finally decides to walk away. Then, just when she is ready to start over, she receives devastating news: she has only seven days to undergo a risky surgery that could save her life.
Instead of telling Mark, Anna makes a different choice.
She will spend her final seven days forgetting him.
She gives away the things she once treasured, walks away from Mark’s company, settles her affairs, and begins living for herself for the first time.
But Mark doesn’t understand the sudden change in his wife.
And when Anna finally stops chasing him, Mark begins to notice the silence she leaves behind.
What happens when the woman he thought would always wait for him decides she has nothing left to lose?
And what will Mark do when he discovers that Anna’s seven-day countdown was never about their marriage?

Chapter: The ResultAnna’s POVFirst, I heard the steady beeping beside my bed. Then, I noticed my own breathing. For a few seconds, I didn’t know where I was, and then the ceiling above me came into focus, followed by the white walls, the IV attached to my hand, and the dull ache spreading through my body.Wait… I was in the hospital and I was alive. I tried to move my fingers, and the small movement sent a strange wave of weakness through my arm.“Don’t try to sit up yet.” I opened my eyes. A nurse beside my bed, checking the monitor.“How long?” My voice came out barely above a whisper. “Since the surgery?” I nodded. “About six hours.” Six hours… I stared at the ceiling. It felt like I had only been unconscious for a few minutes. “Did it go well?” The nurse smiled.“The doctor will speak to you soon but everything went according to plan.” I closed my eyes. According to plan. Those were the words I wanted to hear.For once, I allowed myself to relax. My hand moved instinctively towards my chest, and

Chapter: The Last DayAnna’s POVThe days. Seven. That was how many I had been given when the doctor told me my life could change completely if I waited too long.I had spent the first four thinking about Mark, the fifth trying to understand what it meant to leave him, and now there was only one left.One day.I stared at the ceiling of the hotel room, listening to the faint sounds of London waking outside, and for the first time, the number didn’t frighten me as much as it used to,maybe because I had already done the hardest part. I left. I had walked out of the house without waiting for Mark to come home, and although a part of me still expected to hear his car outside or his voice calling my name, I knew I couldn’t go back. My eyes moved towards the notebook on the bedside table.The sixth page was still open.Beside it were the first four letters I had written before leaving, and although the fifth was there too, I couldn’t bring myself to read any of them again.Those letters weren’t just words.

Chapter: When He Finally NoticedAnna’s POVThe moment I stepped outside, I realized I had made a big mistake not because I wanted to go back but because I had nowhere to go. The suitcase beside me felt heavier than it had upstairs, and as I stood at the end of the driveway, staring at the road ahead, I found myself wondering what people were supposed to do after leaving a life they had spent years building.I had no answer to that. I only knew I couldn’t stay. I pulled my coat tighter to myself and started walking. I didn’t look back at the house, if I did, I’d remember too much. The windows where I had waited for Mark to come home, the bedroom where I had cried quietly so no one hears, the place where I had once believed I would grow old with him.I kept walking. My phone vibrated inside my bag. I already knew who it was. Mark. I didn’t answer. It stopped for a while then started again. I kept walking. A third call came in. This time, I stopped. I stared at the screen and something inside me begged me to answer.

Chapter: The Goodbye He Couldn’t SayAnna’s POVThe house was silent when I walked into it, but something about the silence felt wrong. I stopped just inside the door, my fingers still wrapped around my handbag, and listened.No footsteps, no voices, no sound from the study. Mark wasn’t home. For some reason, I should’ve felt relieved. I had spent so long waiting for him to come home that I had forgotten what it felt like to walk into an empty house without expecting someone to be there.I looked towards the staircase. My eyes immediately found the small velvet box sitting on the console table.I froze. I hadn’t left it there, I was certain of that. I walked closer, my heartbeat gradually picking up as I stared at it. The box was open.Inside was my wedding ring. I hadn’t taken it with me when I left yesterday. I had given it to him so why was it here?I reached out for it but stopped just before my fingers could reach the gold band. There was a folded piece of paper underneath.My name was written across the front. ‘An

Chapter: The RingAnna’s POV“Take it off.” I stared at Mark. For a moment, I thought I had heard him wrong, because the last thing I expected that morning was for my husband to stand in my doorway and ask me to remove my wedding ring.His eyes were fixed on my hand, and there was something in his expression that made me slowly lower it.“What?” “The ring,” he said again, his voice quieter this time. “Take it off.” I looked down at it, turning the band slowly around my finger as memories came rushing back without permission.Our wedding day, his hand holding mine, the way I looked at him as though I had finally found the person I’d spend the rest of my life with. I had worn that ring through every argument, every lonely night and every moment I had convinced myself that things would eventually become better, so hearing him ask me to remove it now felt strangely ironic.“You want me to take it off?” He didn’t even care about that quest.“You’re the one who asked for a divorce.”“I know.”“Then why are

Chapter: Time To Walk AwayAnna’s POVBy eight in the morning, my resignation letter was ready. I stared at it for a while on my laptop. “Dear Board of Directors,” I had written the first sentence twice before I finally decided to stop deleting. There were so many ways to leave a company. Call a meeting, make a phone call or even a quiet conversation with the owner but none of them felt right for Brantley Holdings.I had given so much to that company to just walk away with a simple goodbye. I looked at the clock. It was already 8:07 a.m. By this time, Mark would already be at the office. I pressed send and the email disappeared from my screen. For a few seconds, I sat staring then my phone rang. I didn’t need to look at my screen.I already knew who it was. I let it ring then it stopped. It was Mark. It rang three times then I finally answered.“Where are you?” no questions about how I was feeling, no concern that I had barely eaten last night. “At home.”“You were supposed to send the Westbridge figures thi
