The Phoenix's Rise Beg For Mercy Mr. Ex

On the day Ethan Carter’s first love returned to the country, he handed me a dissolution agreement.

"Seraphina’s health is fragile. She suffered a lot in Europe because of me. I need you to pack up and move out of the Carter Estate. The Southside Villa is yours."

"From now on, we’ll tell the public you’re just a distant relative the Carters took in."

I stared at him. Five years of devotion, all boiled down to the words "distant relative."

I tore the agreement to shreds, turned around, and walked out of his life.
