Love Came Too Late

Synopsis

The engagement between Ethan Wallen, the golden boy of Merville, and me was arranged by our grandfathers. But on the day of our engagement, he knelt in his family chapel and chose to be flogged ninety-nine times just to call it off. "Even if you beat me to death, I won't marry her," Ethan's voice rang out across the whole place. I stood outside the door, hearing every word. I didn't cry or throw a tantrum. I just ripped up our photo together and, without hesitation, got married to someone else. Three years later, outside Ethan's company, a little boy tugged at my hand. "Mommy, let's go home." Right at that moment, Ethan stepped out of the revolving door and stood there, stunned.
