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: His Unfinished DreamI drove to Eleanor Hayes’s home the following afternoon with Vicky beside me, while Mark stayed behind at the headquarters to deal with a meeting I had already promised myself I would not attend.For once, I wanted to handle something without him.Not because I didn’t want him there, but because I was beginning to understand that independence did not mean pushing people away. It meant knowing when I wanted someone beside me and when I wanted to take a step on my own.Eleanor lived in a quiet neighbourhood outside central London, in a modest brick house surrounded by a small garden. Nothing about it suggested that the woman inside had once worked for one of the most powerful families in the city.Vicky looked at the house through the windscreen.“She doesn’t look like someone who kept a billionaire family secret.”I glanced at her.“Neither do we.”She laughed.We got out of the car and walked toward the front door.Eleanor opened it before we knocked twice.She was older than I had ex

Chapter: What My Father StartedThe restaurant Mark took us to was nothing like the places we used to visit when we were married, and I noticed that immediately because there was no private room waiting for us, no manager hovering nearby, and no attempt to turn lunch into some grand gesture. It was simply a quiet restaurant in the middle of London, with sunlight coming through the windows and enough noise around us that nobody paid attention to who we were.Vicky sat opposite us, studying the menu with far too much seriousness.“I’ve decided,” she announced.I looked up. “Already?”“Yes.”“What?”“The most expensive thing.”I laughed. “Absolutely not.”Mark looked at her menu. “Order whatever you want.”Vicky pointed at him. “I like you.”“You shouldn’t encourage her,” I said.“She likes expensive food.”“She has expensive taste.”Vicky smiled. “Exactly.”For the first time in a long while, we laughed without having to force it.There were no lawyers sitting beside us, no documents spread across a table, and no disc

Chapter: More Than Just MoneyANNA’S POVThe following morning, Vicky and I returned to the Carthwell headquarters for the meeting with the estate lawyers, and this time I walked through the doors without feeling like I was visiting a place that had once belonged to strangers. My name was on the new documents, my sister’s name was beside mine, and the first recovered funds had already been transferred into the restored trust.Whatever happened next, nobody could erase that again.The lawyers were waiting in my father’s old office, and when Vicky and I sat down, I noticed a large folder placed in the centre of the table.“You said there was one remaining matter,” I began.“Yes,” the lawyer replied. “But I want to make something clear before we discuss it. It does not concern the investigation, and it does not change the ownership of any recovered assets.”I relaxed slightly.“Then what is it?”He opened the folder and removed a document.“Your parents created a separate provision within the family trust for the edu

Chapter: What Came BackANNA’s POVBy the time we returned to the house, I had already made up my mind about what I wanted to do with the headquarters, although I knew making the decision and making it happen were two very different things.I went straight to my new office, dropped the files on the desk and opened the folder containing the company’s current financial report. Vicky followed me inside carrying the photographs we had taken from the headquarters, while Mark stopped at the doorway and watched us.“You’re actually going to work?” Vicky asked.“I have a company now.”“You’ve had it for about three hours.”“Exactly, and I’ve already wasted enough time.”She laughed and dropped into the chair opposite my desk. “You sound terrifying.”“I’ll take that as a compliment.”Mark walked in and placed a cup of tea beside me. “You haven’t eaten since breakfast.”I looked at the cup, then at him.“You noticed?”“I notice now.”The answer was simple, but I didn’t miss the difference between that sentence and the

Chapter: My LegacyANNA’S POVThe Carthwell headquarters looked nothing like the photographs my parents had left behind.The building stood in the middle of London, surrounded by newer offices and glass towers that made it seem smaller than it probably had twenty-seven years ago, but the name above the entrance had survived everything that had happened to my family.CARTHWELL GROUP.I stopped outside the gates and stared at it.Vicky came to stand beside me, and for several seconds neither of us spoke. We had spent so much time searching for proof that our parents had known about us, searching for records that showed what had been taken and who had moved it, that standing in front of the company itself felt almost unreal.“That’s ours,” Vicky said.I nodded. “It is.”Mark stood a few steps behind us, giving us the space to take it in. He had arranged for the legal team to meet us there, but he had not tried to turn the moment into something about himself.A representative approached with the keys and se
