You Bankrupted My Heart Before I Bankrupted Your World

Synopsis

Yvonne Warren, the only daughter of the world's wealthiest man, fell in love with Nathan Finn, a destitute nobody whose company had gone bankrupt and who was drowning in hundreds of millions of debt. In the third year of hiding her identity by his side, he finally paid off every penny, founded a new company, and rang the opening bell at Nasdaq. Watching his triumphant figure on stage, Yvonne decided it was time to tell him who she really was. But as she reached the private room Nathan and his friends had booked for the celebration, she overheard the raucous voices inside. "Nathan, Yvonne has stood by you through thick and thin for three years. She even lived in a basement with you. Now that you've cleared your debts and the company's gone public, isn't it time you proposed?" "Right. When we were starting out and had no money to hire staff, Yvonne worked triple duty, sleeping only four hours a day. In every impossible deal, she took the initiative to handle. Where else would you find a woman like that? You'd better marry her quick, buddy." Yvonne's hand froze on the door handle, her heart tightening with nervous anticipation. She'd hinted at marriage before, but every time Nathan had brushed it aside, claiming he couldn't give her the life she deserved yet. Now that the company was listed, Yvonne wondered if he would finally put a ring on it. "I remember everything Yvonne has done for me these three years, and I thought she was the one for the rest of my life, but..." Nathan leaned back on the sofa, the glowing scarlet tip of a cigarette between his fingertips. All eyes in the room were fixed on him. Standing outside the door, Yvonne held her breath. Then she heard Nathan say, "Sophia is back."
