Ten Years ago, Quinton and Virginia promised, on graduation night, to marry each other if both are still single after ten years. Quinton became a successful amusement park engineer, designing roller coasters, while Virginia wandered the world doing philanthropic work, avoiding the pharmaceutical company founded by her father, and now, ran by her stepmother. But the time's up. Quinton never forgot Virginia's kiss, and Virginia promised to return after 10 years to take control of the company. The reunion was nice, but it's clear both have been changed. They got married as promised, but is there actually love, despite each's complications?
This one is not quite up to the author's standards. The threats to each are slow, shallow, and doesn't really complicate their respective love life directly. Quinton is trying to fend off Chinese industrial spies and copycats only to see a betrayal from an unexpected source, while Virginia found herself integrating back into her father's company rebuffed by her stepmom, forcing her to take drastic measures. But the marriage itself just has a lack of emotion to it, even as they second-guessed each other. 3/5
