Rejected Farmer Becomes Tycoon

Summary

"Gwen, has pig manure addled your brain?" Tanya’s shrill voice rang out as she jabbed a trembling finger at the piglet in my arms, her face twisted in disgust. "You treat that trash like treasure? Marcus is a filthy pig farmer! Only a desperate loser settles for a peasant!"

I stayed silent. The tiny piglet trembled against me, its fragile heartbeat proof I was alive, back before I was pushed into the septic tank.

Marcus stood rigid in our dirt yard, his face burning under neighbors’ stares. Two dazed piglets twitched on the gravel. His fists clenched until his knuckles whitened.
