The Expired Agreement

Summary

Seven months pregnant, I found a hidden compartment in Philip Hayne’s study. Inside was an expired asset transfer agreement.

Twenty percent of the Hayne Corporation’s shares, valued in the billions, plus three overseas manors and a private island.

All of it, gifted to my stepsister, Stella Monroe. No strings attached.

When Philip and I got married, all he gave me was a prenuptial agreement.

“It’s a business merger, a formality,” he’d said, his tone casual. “Just sign it.”

I signed. And I walked into the Hayne family with nothing to my name.
