Seven Years Betrayed, I Married the One Who Waited

For seven years, Faith Harper loved Finn Brooks in secret, unnamed and unacknowledged. Then his first love, Darcie Bennett, sends word of kidney failure, and Finn flies overseas to bring her home. Faith's Best Actress nomination is reassigned to Darcie on his orders, and when Faith objects, he calls her petty and tells her to wait until Darcie recovers.

Finn goes public with Darcie, who is pregnant. Faith, recovering from a fall that cost her their unborn child, ends the relationship. Finn laughs, reminding her she is twenty-eight and owes him ten billion if she walks away. Stripped of every endorsement and branded the other woman, Faith returns all his gifts and calls Archie, a man who has waited eight years, asking for a marriage license.

At the bar, Finn demands she apologize to Darcie. When Darcie faints, the doctor reveals thalassemia and a rare blood type needing a family donor. Finn pushes Faith forward, coldly ordering her blood be drawn.
