The Seven-Day Ultimatum

The day my father was sent to an overseas branch, Rory Lawson brought home

his first love, who had just gotten divorced.

He entered my room with a poker face and announced, "Sienna is moving in

next week. I owe her too much. Don't complain about it."

My father had been forced to step down after being accused of workplace

harassment. And now, Rory couldn't even wait to make his intentions clear.

I looked up and met his gaze, now devoid of any warmth.
