Pay for Your Lies
Despite my parents' objections, I stay by Julian Grant's side for ten years. He goes from having nothing to building his own empire.
The moment it's time to fulfill our ten-year promise, I proudly tell my parents I'm going to marry him.
But then, he gives the vice president position meant for me to another woman.
I confront him only to overhear a woman's hesitant voice behind the door. "Mr. Grant... you gave me the VP role, but what about Ms. Jones? Aren't you two getting married?"
Julian's tone is cold and sharp, though his face is calm and unaffected. "Noelle's been with me for ten years. Who else would even want her? Relax—she won't dare make a scene."
The words hit me like a slap to the face. Without another word, I turn and make a call to my arranged marriage contact.
"Are you free?" I ask. "Let's get married."
