Shattered Vows The Billionaire's Lost DaughterChapter 1
After feeding Grandma Nora's body into the cremation furnace with her own hands, Hilda Summers declined Jasper Fairmont's ninety-ninth call and blocked his number.
She found her supervisor and withdrew her resignation, but asked to be transferred to a branch in another city.
Most people steered clear of the funeral industry, and Hilda was sharp and capable. When she'd first handed in her notice to get married, her supervisor had been genuinely sorry to see her go. Now, he agreed without hesitation.
When Hilda stood there in silence for a long moment, the supervisor spoke gently.
"Jasper's a good young man. Once you two are married and settled, your grandmother can rest easy. If I remember right, the wedding's supposed to be any day now. Are you pushing it back?"
Hilda opened her mouth. Her voice came out raw. "There's not going to be a wedding."
"A man like that, born into money and privilege, was never going to end up with a woman who works in a funeral home."
The supervisor froze, staring at the ashen pallor of her face. He didn't dare ask more.
