He Chose Wrong, and Now He Knows It
It occurs to Colton Drake that the last five years of his life have been nothing but a joke.
His wife, Bianca Harper, is in love with another man. Granfield's elite society considers him the textbook example of a man freeloading off a woman. Even his brother-in-law rebukes him for being useless.
Well, he's had enough. After signing the divorce papers, he gets ready to head back to Algerton and take over the family business.
Out of nowhere, Douglas Cross, the head of the Cross family and one of the most prominent figures in Granfield, calls him up and begs to become his most devoted subordinate. Alarmed, he figures Douglas must've called the wrong number.
Things get even more incredulous when Bianca passes by and witnesses this scene. The look on her face makes it seem as though her entire world has just been turned upside down.
Colton sighs.
"I said long ago that I'm no ordinary man, but you guys refused to believe me. What now? Are you changing your mind after we've already gotten a divorce? It's too late for that."
