Two Million to Leave? Yes Please

Synopsis

When Charles Reed's mother, Sarah Reed, slid a check for two million dollars across the table toward me, the barrage of comments lost its mind. [Emma, don't take it. This is an insult. What you want is love, not money.] Sophia Grant sat beside her, eyes rimmed red. "Ms. Wynn, please don't make things hard for Charlie." I looked down at the check. Two million dollars. There was also an apartment, a formal job offer, and the freedom to stop waiting for a man who wouldn't even go public with me. Excuse me? This counted as an insult? Had everyone in the barrage lost the plot? Because from where I sat, this was the universe finally cutting my paycheck after three years of running alongside him for free. They wanted me to walk away from the money, the apartment, the job, and a clean start, all so I could hopelessly love a man who couldn't even show up to his own breakup? Sorry.
