One Marriage Pact, All That Was Gone

Introduction:

Seven years of devotion ended in a very public betrayal.

Her fiancé cheated on her with an up-and-coming actress. Not only did he force her to call off their engagement, but he also exposed her inability to have children to the world.

Back at the Bennett family home, she was used as a bargaining chip once again, pressured to marry a notoriously violent and ill-tempered heir in San Francisco who had a disability affecting both legs.

This time, Claire Bennett did not fight back.
