Story
The story
Everyone knows Stella Taylor as Alexander Clark's favorite trophy girlfriend: beautiful, compliant, and willing to endure his every whim for the right price. Even when he humiliates her for the sake of his true love, she never complains. No one suspects that when her contract expires, she plans to marry another man and vanish from his life entirely.
As graduation nears, Stella counts down the days until March 14th, when she can change her name, move to a new city, and forget the foggy city. But Alexander's sister-in-law, Victoria Lin, appears at the apartment, and Stella realizes she has been a mere stand-in for a woman who still holds his heart. When Alexander throws out her belongings and tells her to stay in a hotel, Stella must decide whether to keep playing the caged bird or finally break free.
With her contract ending and Alexander's attention fixed on Victoria, Stella prepares to leave. But can she truly sever ties with the man who once made her feel like more than a pet?
Opening excerpt
But no one knew that when the contract expired, I would marry another man and completely sever ties with that relationship.
The ping of my phone broke the silence as I sorted through research documents for my return home. The words “500,000 credits deposited” flickered on the screen.
These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
