Love Comes Too Late

Synopsis

My name was Jane Mayer, and everyone around here called me the perfect lover. For five years, I'd been Hayden Gray's fiancée in name only, never pushing for a wedding, asking for a marriage certificate, or fighting over his money. All I ever wanted was for Hayden to donate bone marrow to my mom. When he cheated on me with an award-winning actress, I covered for him. When he was caught making out with a pop idol, I bought the video rights to keep it out of the public eye. When he got a social media influencer pregnant, I even helped her schedule prenatal appointments. The rich ladies in our circle would look down on me and pity me at the same time, joking, "Jane, you're living like a dog." I just ignored them. Until the night my mom passed away, the Gray Group suddenly hit a financial crisis. I sold my dad's only heirloom to help Hayden get through it. Finally, Hayden decided to make it official. He just tossed the ring at my feet without a second thought. "Pick a day. Let's get married. Consider it my way of saying thanks," he said. I looked at the ring but left it where it was. "No need. I was just paying you back. Hayden, let's call it quits," I said.
