His Vows and My Silent Exit
After my family went bankrupt, I begged my fiancé Ryan to pump cash into our business.
He didn't just refuse. He turned around and got engaged to someone else.
When I was at the end of my rope, Ethan Brooks stepped up, tossing all his savings into my family's mess.
Sadly, we missed our shot, and our company crashed. My parents couldn't handle it. They jumped off a building.
Even so, I was thankful to Ethan and married him to pay him back.
Three years later, at Lily Carter's birthday party, I overheard her talking to him.
"You tanked the Harper family so I could win that bid. Won't Kelly blame you?"
"For you, I'd give up everything. I'll just make it up to her."
My blood ran cold as I realized our marriage was all a lie. The one he loved was Lily all along.
I turned and left. If he was that hooked, I'd set him free.
