Partners In Love And War

Synopsis

I signed the divorce papers Grant Fleming handed me at the birthday party he threw for his first love. The champagne tower caught the hazy light and threw it back in soft glints, lighting up his cold, familiar profile. He slid the agreement I had already prepared across the table and said, "Sign." I smiled and signed my name without a pause. For three years, we had played the part of a loving couple in a contract marriage. Together, we had taken over half the business world. Now the contract was up, and he wanted his real love back. I was ready to go. But just as I finished signing and was about to leave, the woman he claimed to love so deeply walked up to me. She leaned in and whispered so only I could hear, "Grace, thank you. Thank you for giving him back to me and to my unborn child." She rested a hand on her belly and smiled softly, but there was a flicker of fear in her eyes when she looked at Grant.
