For twenty-eight years, Percival Ellington lived a solitary life, untouched by love. But when his engagement abruptly ended, the surprising reason was a simple country girl.
"Mr. Ellington, Madam offers five million to break off the engagement," the messenger conveyed.
Percival's determined gaze met the messenger's. "Absolutely not!"
"Mr. Ellington, Madam raises the offer to twenty million. Please reconsider." the messenger insisted.
A mischievous smile graced Percival's lips. "Tell her that even fifty million won't make me end the engagement!"
The messenger's eyes widened in disbelief. "Madam is now offering one billion. Please, think it over!"
Percival sighed, feeling the weight of the situation. His fiancée tried to drown him in wealth, but his resolve held firm. No amount of money could sway him. This marriage wasn't over, even if he had to bear the burden of fortune itself!
