That was why she had become the unforgettable first love in his heart. But the truth was, she had abandoned him because she thought he was too poor. She had gone overseas to chase after rich men—only to spiral further into a life of indulgence, picking up a gambling addiction and racking up millions in debt. The guilt was obvious on her face.

Clean balance sheets, flawless corporate strategies, high-society approval, and a respectable life that everyone could applaud. I thought if I polished every rough edge, I’d finally feel safe.
