My Girlfriend Learned Too Late That I’m a Billionaire HeirChapter 1

Just as I was about to graduate from college, my girlfriend, Evelyn Carter, suddenly broke up with me.

She didn’t just walk away—she left me a villa, a Bentley, and a bank transfer of 18 million dollars, thanking me for four years of companionship.

I stood there stunned, unable to comprehend why she was ending things.

Evelyn’s voice was cold, stripped of all the warmth I had grown to love.

“Nicholas Whitmore, for someone from a family like mine, love and marriage are separate. I’m going back to arrange a marriage. Do you understand?”

——

My girlfriend was engaged, but her fiancé wasn’t me.

When I rushed to the engagement ceremony in Charleston, I saw Evelyn standing on stage.

She wore a couture gown, glittering with jewelry, looking every bit the dignified heiress.

And the man opposite her? Barely five-foot-four, overweight, with acne oozing across his cheeks. Marco Ramirez—the heir to Charleston’s richest nouveau riche family.

Evelyn, my Evelyn, was going to marry a man like that?

I thought back to the night before, which already felt like a lifetime away.
