The Thirteenth Paper I Signed

Nora Whitfield has signed thirteen papers for one man. Marriage, divorce, marriage, divorce — every time Marcus Kane's first love drifts back into town, he hands Nora the papers and promises to remarry her once the woman leaves. Everyone in their circle knows the arrangement: Marcus loves Vivienne Ashford, and Nora is the shameless wife who won't let go. This time, Nora hands him the papers first. She packs without a single tear. And without telling anyone, she books a one-way flight for the exact date of their planned fourteenth wedding. When Marcus stands her up at a concert to nurse Vivienne through a faked illness, the last thread snaps. Nora boards the plane, says goodbye to her ex-husband, and disappears — no forwarding address, no traceable ticket, her accounts closed, his number blocked. By the time he understands she is truly gone, she is already across the world, back in the arms of the tycoon father she abandoned six years ago to marry Marcus. Three years later, Nora runs the Whitfield empire and the press calls her The Finance Wizard. Kane Holdings is collapsing. When Marcus finally finds her, a far better man is sliding a rare pink diamond onto her hand — and Nora tells him their seventh divorce was three years ago. He begs. He shows her what he did to Vivienne to prove his love. He kneels in a storm outside her beach wedding, holding the cheap street-stall ring from their very first marriage, claiming he is dying. Nora has counted every paper. She remembers slashing her wrists the first time he left. And she has finally learned that home was never a man. She walks down the aisle without looking back.
