The Manhattan skyline gleamed like polished steel as Ethan Jenkins, 24, stood atop the sleek skyscraper housing Jenkins Company, the world's most influential and affluent conglomerate. With interests spanning finance, tech, and real estate, the Jenkins family was renowned for their unparalleled wealth and power.

Ethan's gaze pierced the horizon, fueled by a burning purpose. Six years ago, his mother, Catherine, died under mysterious circumstances. His father, billionaire patriarch Lewis Jenkins, assured him it was an accident. But Ethan's instincts screamed otherwise. Now, Lewis had married the cunning and beautiful Sophia Laurent, and rumors swirled that her son, Alexander, was being groomed to inherit the Jenkins fortune, supplanting Ethan's rightful claim.

Determined to uncover the truth, Ethan returned to New York from Singapore, armed with wealth, influence, and a razor-sharp mind. His mission: expose the truth behind his mother's death and reclaim his birthright.

Ava's days blurred together-part-time jobs, hospital visits, and family responsibilities. Yet, she held onto hope, fueled by her determination to build a better life. Her nights were filled with dreams of escape, of freedom from the burdens that weighed her down.

For a time, it felt like more than just an arrangement. Sophia believed Nathaniel might truly care for her. But her hopes were dashed when he revealed his plans for a strategic marriage, leaving her only a check and a cold farewell. He expected tears, accusations, maybe even a scene. But Sophia merely smiled, pocketed the check, and walked out with her dignity intact. Her parting words were simple and cutting: "Goodbye, Nathaniel. I doubt we'll ever meet again."

Nathaniel's jealousy was undeniable, his voice raw with regret. "Sophia," he said, his tone heavy with emotion, "it was me you loved first." She met his gaze with calm amusement, her smile laced with irony. "Nathaniel, you're the one who walked away. If you want a date now, you'll have to get in line." The very next day, Nathaniel appeared with a dazzling diamond ring and a fortune worth billions, dropping to one knee in front of her. "Sophia, I'm done waiting. Marry me."
