The Fiance Trade-off
My fiance's precious childhood crush, Amber Sweeney, was in a political union with the infamous Julian Grant, heir to the Grant family empire and a notorious playboy.
Unable to stand the thought of Amber being "sacrificed", Ryan Carter barged into her wedding to stop it. They registered their marriage that day, making headlines across the city.
The whole of D.C.'s elite waited to watch me and the Grant family become the city's biggest joke.
What they didn't expect was that on the very next day, Julian would roll up to my company in his high-key sports car, leaning against the hood like he had all the time in the world.
"Your fiance stole my bride. You'll be repaying that debt by marrying me. Fair trade, right?"
I stared at his blazing red hair and wild grin, and smiled back coolly. "Sounds fair to me."
