The Wife He Paid to Leave

Declan. There's the man.

I turned with my catalog half closed. Cleve Dorsey had his back to me already, talking to a man in a grey coat.

His voice carried. The whole east gallery could hear him.

Synopsis

I married Declan Pryce to save my watch shop. He married me to keep his family shares. I told myself the contract was enough. 'It was only a marriage on paper,' he says. Then his first love comes home, and he ends it with papers and a check. I take the papers. I leave the check. He sees my work in his own auction house. He hears Vivienne call me a copy of her. I don't beg. I don't break. Now he wants to know what was real. I need him to prove he can love the woman he paid to leave.
