On the day the Riley family went bankrupt, everyone expected me to call off the engagement with Jamie.

In the torrential rain, I tossed my umbrella aside and helped the disheveled Jamie into the car.

“I’ll give you one hundred million. If you succeed, you can come back and marry me. If you fail, I’ll still stay by your side and marry you.”

Five years later, Jamie returned with three publicly traded companies in tow.

In front of all the media, he declared, “Ellen and I, we called off our engagement five years ago.”
