At Ridgeway Capital’s tenth-anniversary gala, Paris learned that people who had known Mark Walsh for years did not even realize he had a wife.
She had loved him before the private clubs and the billion-dollar fortune, working double shifts and cosigning the line of credit when the company was only four exhausted men in a cramped loft.
Once the empire rose, dinners and business trips went on without her, while polished Sabine Rothwell stood beside him in the rooms where Paris no longer seemed to belong.
Mark never cheated; when she finally asked the question she had feared, his hesitation showed he had become ashamed of the woman who helped make him.
He wants his wife back, but an apology cannot restore what he erased, and another chance will depend on proof that he is proud to stand beside her.
