Chapter 5 — His Final Attempt
Months later, Richard returned.
But he was no longer the powerful billionaire.
His company was collapsing.
His reputation was destroyed.
He found Evelyn in a small private office downtown.
Not a penthouse.
Not a mansion.
Just an office with her name on the door.
Evelyn Carter Strategic Group.
“You ruined me,” Richard said.
Evelyn looked up from her desk.
“No.”
She closed her laptop.
“You ruined yourself.”
Richard lowered his voice.
“I loved you.”
Evelyn stared at him.
“No.”
A long silence followed.
“You loved having someone who would never challenge you.”

Richard had no answer.
Because she was right.
