Ray Sanford and I are both rich kids, set up by our families for a marriage alliance. But he fell for Louisa Morrow, the company's young secretary, and insisted on calling off our engagement. I tried to reason with him. "The economy's tanking, and your father isn't in great shape. Why don't we just get engaged for now? "It'll steady the stock price and help the Sanford family weather this financial storm." That day, Louisa decided to end her pregnancy and left town for good, vanishing from our lives. The wedding went smoothly, but Ray's hatred for me lasted a lifetime. When I opened my eyes, I was back to the year Ray and I were supposed to get engaged. I couldn't help but laugh, tears rolling down my cheeks. No more playing the savior. I would let everyone choose their own fate. This time, I would step aside and let them get their happy ending. I would let Ray walk away from his rich-kid life for love and play the hero in his own romance story.
