Five Years His, A Lifetime My Own

I spent five years helping Nathan Reed build his company from nothing. I ran the business and cared for his paralyzed mother, believing that if I tried hard enough, one day I would find a place in his heart.

Then his first love, Vivian Blake, came home.

He asked me to arrange a dinner for her, plan his proposal, and take care of her as though she were already the future Mrs. Reed.

I swallowed it all.

Until my mother became critically ill. I needed to rush to the hospital, but a single remark from Vivian nearly made him keep me at work.
