The Price of Walking Away
Billionaire · Contract Marriage · Revenge
One broken heel. One stranger who already knew her name.
Sophie Xu had the perfect life, until her fiancé stood up at their own engagement banquet and ended it in five rehearsed words. Before the night is over, her father is in a cardiac ward, her family’s warehouse is bleeding, and the only person who stops for her in the rain is a man who says her name without being told it.
He offers her a deal written like a contract: marry him on paper, keep her father’s business alive, and get close enough to the truth to find out who buried her family. She agrees. For her, it’s arithmetic: every clause priced, every exit mapped.
Nobody told her heart to show up on the wrong side of the ledger.
The Price of Walking Away is a slow-burn billionaire romance about a woman who counts everything, the marriage on paper that keeps costing more than she budgeted for, and a revenge twenty-two years in the making.
