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.
