Anna had always been under her wealthy father’s control, his “stability” more a cage than a gift, with her life a tool for alliances, not love. Desperate to escape, one autumn day she impulsively asked a young janitor to marry her. The janitor, Ethan, agreed, and for the first time, Anna experienced freedom, learning the simple joys of a life without control.
When her father found out, he was furious, dismissing Ethan as beneath them—until Ethan revealed he was the son of her father’s former business partner, Andrew, whom her father had betrayed years ago.
