I Married the Heiress Instead

Synopsis

Alex Collins, the calm and capable head of Collins Enterprises, thought his future was set. Then his fiancée, Emily Carter, asks him to postpone their wedding so she can marry Ethan Blake, the scholarship student her family once sponsored. To Emily, it is only a temporary arrangement. To Alex, it is betrayal. Instead of becoming the backup plan, Alex walks away. But Emily's impulsive choice quickly turns messy as pride, pressure, and marriage expose cracks she never wanted to see. While she begins to regret everything, Alex crosses paths with Olivia Lane, a sharp, poised heiress who never asks him to shrink himself to prove his love. Now Emily wants answers, Ethan wants Alex out of their lives, and Olivia may be the first woman who truly knows how to stand beside him. When the woman who left him finally looks back, will Alex give the past another chance, or choose the right woman and never turn back?
