Her Fake Romance Ruined Her Life

Kelly did not even let me explain.

She told me Zane had nearly drowned jumping into a freezing river for her, a reckless devotion she would not trade for a billion dollars.

I gave a bitter smile and asked if betraying me meant nothing.

She lowered her head, muttered a quick apology, and left without a trace of hesitation.

Watching her walk away, I sighed quietly.

She had no idea she was giving up far more than me and our shared future. She was abandoning her place as the matriarch of a multi billion dollar empire.
