Her Anchorless Heart Finds Love
Claire Aniston had been in love with Calvin Bennett for a decade. In all that time, he had blown hot and cold, but she never minded. She was certain that someday, he would see how much she truly cared.
That faith shattered on the night of their engagement party. Claire found him wrapped up with Iris Aniston.
"Once I marry Claire and get control of the shares, I'll divorce her and marry you," she heard him tell Iris.
So that was the truth. He wasn't just guarded—he didn't love her at all. Worse, he had been using her from the start.
With cold resolve, Claire went straight to the head of the Bennett family.
"Grandpa George, I've made up my mind. Calvin doesn't love me, and I won't force him into this. I'm not going to marry him."
The old man was shocked. "But…you've loved him all these years. Did he do something wrong? Don't worry, you will always be the one I want for my grandson."
"Grandpa George, the wedding date doesn't need to change. I will still marry into the Bennett family—but I'm choosing a different groom.
"On the day of the wedding, seven days from now, I will draw lots among all the eligible male heirs of the Bennett family. Whoever is chosen will become my husband."
After all, things couldn't possibly get any worse.
