"The entire wealthy circle in Seattle knew how much Stella Carlson loved Aaron Malone. People watched the childhood sweethearts grow from inexperience to maturity, finally getting married in a grand wedding ceremony.

Ethan was somewhat relieved that he had early on secured their relationship with a marriage bond.


Stella nodded lightly, her voice still calm. "Alright, let's break up first."
