Love's Fallen Petal, Drifting In the Wind of DespairChapter 1 Borrow Gown
My father left me billions in inheritance.
Yet, I was on the brink of death, and the person I loved no longer wanted me.
I had once accompanied him to Milan, walking with him as the plane trees shed their leaves onto the streets. But just when I loved him the most, he let go.
Later, I left resolutely, but he went mad with grief.
Now, a new business mogul held my hand tightly, a carefree smile on his face, and said, "Sorry, Rachel doesn't go back to the past, nor does she pick up discarded things."

Kaden Wilson's secretary, Megan Turner, arrived.
The media buzzed about her being Kaden's new lover and painted me as a discarded woman.
"Rachel," Megan called.
"Call me Mrs. Wilson," I replied, stubbornly clinging to the last shred of my pride.
Megan paused for a moment, then her smile widened. "Mrs. Wilson, I'm here to borrow a gown. Tonight, I need to accompany Mr. Wilson to a business event and I need something a bit more formal."
Megan, with her impeccable figure and striking looks, was Kaden's efficient assistant.
She was sharp, and I always seemed to be at a disadvantage when dealing with her.
