He Chose Love? I Chose Success

Synopsis

The night before my engagement, a bombshell dropped when Nina Parker, the mistress of my childhood sweetheart Edward Grant, waddled up to my doorstep, her pregnant belly preceding her. She said, patting her swollen stomach, "Look at this. This baby's gonna be the heir to the Grant Group. You and Edward? It's just an arranged deal. There's no way you two'll ever find real happiness." Her words hit me like a ton of bricks. I was so enraged that my vision went black, and I passed out cold. A month in the hospital followed. It was only after Edward sent a lackey over with a shiny black credit card as a peace-offering that I decided to jet off overseas. Meanwhile, back home, things took an interesting turn. My mom became a regular at Edward's mom's place. Every time she went for a little chat, she'd strut back home with armfuls of jewelry worth millions of dollars. My dad wasn't one to be left out. He'd often drop by Edward's dad's office, looking for some sense of justice. And each time, he'd leave with a brand-new business project in hand. It was a truth well-known in our family: Love might be nice, but a thriving career? That was the real deal.
