Getting Fired: My Employer Signed a Severance Agreement Without Reading It. Can It Be Enforced

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Virginia

My employer presented me with a severance agreement to terminate my employment. I was given 21 days to review and signed the agreement. I did not like some of the terms on the agreement so I edited the agreement to state terms I found acceptable. My edits were made by retyping the document. There is nothing crossed out or lined through. I presented this to the employer in a face to face meeting and they signed it without reading it. The bottom of each page has our initials (mine and a Human Resources Manager). We both signed the last page. Can I enforce the agreement? How do I enforce the agreement? Is there a loop hole they can claim to get out of the agreement.

The contract states: "The validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Virginia."

If they do not honor the agreement are they in breach? The breach I am alleging results in over one million in payments and benefits over a five year period. The employer is a corporation with more than 25,000 employees.
