I Never Intended To Fall In Love.<\/p>\n
Love, Commitment, All Of It\u2014Those Were Ideas I Kept Safely Stored On A Shelf, The Kind Of Things That Might Come Later, After I\u2019d Lived A Little More. Or Maybe Never. After All, When You\u2019re Raised In A World Where Power Comes Before Passion, And Marriages Are As Much About Image As Emotion, It\u2019s Easy To Become Cynical About Romance.<\/p>\n
So No, Love Was Never The Plan.<\/p>\n
What Was The Plan? Spite.<\/p>\n
Rebellion, If You Want To Dress It Up.I Was Born Into The Kind Of Wealth That Smooths Every Edge Of Life. The Kind Of Family That Doesn\u2019t Just Own A Country Club Membership\u2014But The Land The Country Club Is Built On. Summer Homes. Private Tutors. Cars For Every Mood. That Was My Reality.<\/p>\n
And I Was The Heir.<\/p>\n
The Only Son Of A Self-Made Billionaire, Groomed To Take The Reins Of An Empire.<\/p>\n
Except, I Had One Fatal Flaw: I Liked To Live.<\/p>\n
Parties That Started On A Thursday And Ended Two Cities Away. Weekends In Monaco Because I Felt Like It. No Apologies, No Regrets. It Made My Parents Insane. My Father, A Man Who Clawed His Way Out Of Poverty And Built A Legacy Brick By Brick, Didn\u2019t Understand My Carefree Attitude. My Mother, Raised To Value Appearances Over Emotions, Didn\u2019t Hide Her Disappointment Either.<\/p>\n
Still, They Tolerated Me. They Expected That, Eventually, I\u2019d Grow Up. Become Serious. Respectable.<\/p>\n
Then Came The Dinner That Changed Everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
