Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 1 Author:Only For You Last Updated:2024-10-14 10:13:00 Im sorry, Andrew, but I cant marry you! Christina Stevens declared coldly in the CEOs office of Stevens Corporation.

She sat behind her desk, looking elegant in a black lace dress, her demeanor icy and aloof.

Across from her sat a handsome man in modest attire.

Andrew Lloyd could not believe what he was hearing and asked, Christie, what do you mean? What happened to the promise between us? They had agreed to tie the knot on the day Stevens Corporation went public, marking the end of their three-year courtship.

Since weve been dating each other, Ill be frank, Christina replied, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

Her stunning features exuded grace and beauty with every movement.

Andrew, dont you think the gap between us has grown too wide? Its like were from different worlds now.

Forcing this relationship wont do you any good.

For me, it would be… a burden.

A burden? Andrew was stunned, never expecting Christina to say such a thing.

If it had not been for his help, the Stevens family would have gone bankrupt long ago, let alone gone public.

In fact, he had shaped Christinas success with his own hands.

I know this decision is hard for you to accept.

How about this? Consider it a debt I owe you.

After we cancel the wedding, Ill give you a settlementcash, a villa, and a luxury car.

That should be enough for you to live comfortably.

Christina pulled out a pen and checkbook from her designer purse as she spoke.

Andrew watched in silence as she wrote down the figure: 1.2 million.

He felt as if he was looking at a stranger.

Is this all our years together are worth to you? Just a string of numbers? Andrew asked.

Christinas perfect features flickered with complexity for a moment before settling back into indifference.

If you think its not enough, I can add more.

Name your price.

Andrew stared at her, pain evident in his eyes at how Christina had mistaken his question for thinking it was not enough.
