These Annulment Papers Are Final
I have been reborn.
The first thing I did in my new life was walk into my fiancé’s CEO inauguration party and break off our engagement in front of all of New York's high society.
In my last life, he did it all for Sloane, his childhood sweetheart. He publicly declared I had a severe mental illness, branded me as paranoid and jealous, and claimed I reeked of a cheap perfume that suffocated him.
For Sloane, his one true love, he had me committed to a private sanatorium. I was broken by a cocktail of drugs and psychological abuse until, with my body and mind shattered, my heart finally gave out.
In this life, when he frowned and told me to get out of his sight, I didn't shed a single tear. I just turned and strode away.
He said my presence made Sloane unhappy, so I moved to a small cottage by the sea.
He said he never wanted to see me again, so I submitted a transfer request and went to the West Coast branch.
I flourished in my new life in California and met a mysterious and powerful tech mogul.
The moment we appeared together, hand in hand, Caleb Hawthorne completely unraveled.
He saw the ring from another man on my finger, and his sanity finally snapped.
He blocked my path, his chest heaving as he fought to contain his rage.
"Emily, take that damn ring off your hand."
I smiled and took a step back. "Didn't you used to despise me?"
"And now that I belong to someone else, I'm suddenly a prize worth fighting for?"
