Leaving Him in Seven Days
The year the Lawson family was on the edge of bankruptcy, my father made a deal with Rory Lawson and arranged for me to marry him.
I didn't know he already had a fiancée, who was also his childhood sweetheart.
Later, when my father became embroiled in a scandal and the company faced collapse, Rory brought her home, promising her the grand wedding she deserved.
I didn't cry or make a scene. I just quietly packed my bags.
Rory sneered, "Don't pull that hard-to-get act. You think you're still the pampered heiress?"
Unknown to him, I had the divorce agreement he signed while drunk.
In seven days, I'd be leaving the country with my father.
