The Substitute Heiress Leaves For Good

Leanora Tanouye Modern

“For three years, Eleonore was the perfect, understanding girlfriend to Preston Sterling, supporting the wealthy finance heir through every family crisis and business deal. But at a glamorous rooftop party, she accidentally overheard a conversation that shattered her world. Preston casually confessed to his best friend that he was only using Eleonore as a convenient, comfortable substitute because she looked a bit like his ex-girlfriend, Vanessa, who had just returned to the city. When Vanessa officially appeared, Preston's friends publicly humiliated Eleonore, mocking her as a cheap imitation and a pathetic social climber. Instead of defending the woman who had stood by him, Preston fiercely protected his ex, holding her close while demanding Eleonore apologize to his friends to make the scene go away. Worse still, he later tracked Eleonore down and arrogantly offered to keep her as a secret mistress. He claimed he couldn't abandon his fragile ex right now, but promised to buy Eleonore a new place and whatever she wanted. Three years of quiet devotion were treated as a sordid transaction. She watched him play the noble hero to his ex while treating her like a disposable prop, and felt a chilling, desolate calm replace her heartbreak. Without shedding a single tear, she packed her bags, walked out of their shared apartment forever, and pulled out a long-forgotten marriage alliance proposal. She calmly sent a text to Ford Trevino, the ruthless CEO of a rival billionaire family. "Mr. Trevino, I agree to the engagement."”
