Never Look Back Again
As the daughter of a billionaire, I grew up in a world full of luxury. But when I turned 18, I gave everything I had to my brother's best friend, Nathan Gildon.
He was the one my brother trusted most, the one he personally brought up. Nathan was smart and ambitious, and when he smiled, it felt as if he was handing you the whole world.
I had had a crush on him for years.
Last night, I thought he finally loved me back. I thought I wasn't just the girl who snuck glances at him across crowded parties anymore.
I thought I was the woman he'd bring into his future.
But the next morning, I heard him on the balcony, laughing with an investor friend.
"Mavis is just practice. I need some experience before I pursue Claire. Besides, her family can open a lot of doors for me."
I didn't cry, question him, or explain myself.
I just packed my bags and changed my college applications. One week later, I was on a plane to Eltoria.
And the man who betrayed me that night? He went crazy trying to win me back.
