He rejected me at the altar. For nine years, I was the quiet engine behind Marcus Hale's empire — closing his deals, covering his mistakes, keeping his ring hidden in a drawer. Then, in front of everyone we knew, he chose a billionaire's daughter instead. Her smile was the last thing I saw before the staircase. When I woke up in the ICU, the world had moved on. So had he. I didn't beg. I made one phone call — and signed the trust I'd spent half my life refusing. Marcus thinks he threw away a nobody. He doesn't know about the Vale Trust. He doesn't know I just became his landlord.
