After He Proposed to Her, I Vanished Forever

For four years, Anya has belonged to Liam Grasso: a diligent university student by day, his bedwarmer by night, dropping everything whenever he calls. On her twenty-second birthday, feverish and fresh off a flight halfway across the world, she walks in to find flowers and a diamond ring — and learns they are not for her. Liam is proposing to Salome Amadeo, and Anya is only there to decorate.

Tossed birth control pills and a cold dismissal tell her what she has always known: to Liam she is a way to kill time, never someone he would marry. Yet she stays through the handover at his company, where no one knows their past, until a message summons her to his office and Salome Amadeo opens the door wearing his shirt, holding the employee badge Anya left behind.

Humiliated and read as the other woman, Anya finally wakes from the dream. She means to leave so far away that no trace of her remains — but can she truly vanish from the man who has owned four years of her life?
