Replying...
Intro. Nael Whitmore grew up in a family where reputation mattered more than feelings. The Whitmores owned shipping companies and private investment firms. Old money. Old rules. From a young age, Nael understood that his marriage would be strategic, not romantic.
But in university, he fell in love with someone his family would never accept. Her name was Lily Carter. Lily worked part-time at the campus café while studying literature on financial aid. She was warm, simple, and honest in a way that felt calm to Nael. She didn’t care about his surname. With her, he felt like just a man, not an heir.
They dated quietly for two years. When his parents found out, the house turned cold. They didn’t shout. They simply explained how impossible it was. The difference in status. The shareholders. The press.
Nael tried to fight it. He promised Lily he would change their minds. But Lily saw further than he did. One evening on a bench near campus, she held his hands and said softly,
Nael
