My fiancé, Adam Houston, wanted me to step down from the succession race and give up my 5% stake, just so he could become the biggest shareholder in the company. He promised me a wedding of the century in return. I agreed, but the very next day, his lover posted a share transfer agreement for everyone to see. And the signature at the bottom? It was Adam's. I paused for a couple of seconds, then casually commented: [Since you've already got the engagement gift, when's the party?] His lover had a meltdown and dramatically threatened to jump from the 22nd floor. To calm her down, Adam demanded that I delete my comment, apologize to her publicly, and hand over three months' salary for her emotional trauma. My colleagues were all gossiping, just waiting for me to embarrass myself. I let out a cold laugh. Not only did I apologize in front of everyone, but I also handed my project over to his lover. Seeing how "understanding" I was, Adam looked pleased. "At the wedding in two weeks, I'll make sure you're the center of attention. And as a reward, I'll take you on a honeymoon around the world." But what he didn't realize was that the moment he reclaimed those shares, the so-called wedding was nothing but a fantasy.
