Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 121

Perhaps it was sheer exhaustion, but Cynthia slept more soundly than she had in ages.

She didn't stir until the plane touched down, roused only by the crackle of the landing announcement. Blinking awake, she didn't see the tarmac or airport buildings—just the striking face of the man beside her.

They were sitting so close, she could hear the faint rhythm of his breathing.

How could life be so generous to one person? Not only had he been born into one of the most illustrious families, but he'd been blessed with impossibly good looks. Even if he hadn't been a Holloway, this face alone would've guaranteed him a life of comfort.
