Nyla looked at Eric standing there begging. She let the silence stretch a bit longer.

"Fine," she finally said. "I will stay. But you change those locks today."

"Yes. Right now. I will call someone right now." Eric pulled out his phone immediately.

"And Eric?"

"Yes?"

"If she comes back here again, I am leaving for good. No second chances. No more discussions. I will pack my things and you will never see me again."

"She won't come back. I promise."

"You promised a lot of things before."

    Eric's brain could not process what she was saying. "I do not understand.""Which part?""Any of it! You came back to me. You said you wanted to fix things. You said you loved me!""I said a lot of things to make you trust me. None of them were true.""But the marriage counseling. The conversations. The nights you held me while I cried about the company. All of that was fake?""All of it."Eric felt like he was going to be sick. "How? How could you fake that for months?""It was surprisingly easy. You wanted to believe I still loved you. So you did.""This cannot be real. This has to be some kind of breakdown—""Stop saying that!" Nyla's voice was sharp for the first time. "I am not having a breakdown. I am telling you the truth. The truth you are too stupid to accept.""The truth that you destroyed my company? That you worked with Cameron to ruin me?""Yes.""But why? I apologized! I tried to make things right!"Nyla laughed. It was cold and bitter. "You apologized? You think sorry f

    Eric stood on the driveway. Nyla's words echoed in his head."I'm going back alone.""What do you mean you are going back alone?" Eric's voice was shaky. "We are married. We go together.""No, Eric. We do not.""I do not understand—""I am filing for divorce."The words hit him like a physical blow. Eric actually stumbled backward. "What?""You heard me.""No. No, you cannot be serious. You said for better or worse. You said we would get through this together."Nyla set down the suitcase. Looked at him with calm, clear eyes. "I said a lot of things.""You promised! This morning when I was crying you said we were married for better or worse! You said—""I know what I said.""Then how can you just leave now? How can you file for divorce after everything you said?""Very easily, actually. I already have the papers prepared."Eric's mind was spinning. "Prepared? When? When did you prepare divorce papers?""Weeks ago.""Weeks?" Eric stepped closer to her. "You have been planning this for w

    The moving truck arrived three days later. Not to move Eric and Nyla's belongings to a new home. To take everything to auction.Men in uniforms walked through the penthouse tagging items. Furniture. Appliances. Everything that had not already been sold."This is it," Eric said. "This is really it."Nyla was packing their personal items into two suitcases. The only things they were allowed to keep. Basic clothes. Toiletries. A few photos."Where will we go?" Eric asked."I told you. My father said we could stay at the mansion temporarily.""For how long?""I do not know. Until you figure something out."Eric sat down on the floor. The couch had already been taken. "I have nothing. No money. No job. No prospects. Who is going to hire me now? I am famous for destroying a billion-dollar company.""You will find something.""Like what? Flipping burgers? Stocking shelves?" Eric laughed bitterly. "I was a CEO. Now I cannot even afford rent."The movers took the last of the furniture. The pen

    Agatha arrived the next morning. She did not knock. Used her emergency key to let herself in.Eric was in the bedroom sorting through clothes. He heard the door open and came out."Mother?""I am here to collect my property," Agatha said. Her voice was ice cold. "The artwork I gave you for your thirtieth birthday. The desk from your father. The crystal set from our family estate. All of it belongs to me. I want it back.""The auction already happened. Most of it was sold—""I know. Your lawyer contacted me. But some pieces are still here. I am taking them before they disappear too."Nyla emerged from the kitchen. "Mrs. Harper."Agatha did not even look at her. "Where is the desk?""In my office," Eric said. "But Mother, can we talk for a minute?""No. I am not here to talk. I am here to collect what is mine."Eric followed her to the office. The mahogany desk that had belonged to his father sat against the wall. Agatha ran her hand over it."Your father would be ashamed of you," she s

    The doorbell rang on a Saturday afternoon. Eric and Nyla were packing the last boxes. They had to be out of the penthouse in three days.Nyla answered the door.Lisa stood there. Designer dress. Expensive jewelry. Perfect hair and makeup. She looked radiant."Lisa," Nyla said. "This is unexpected.""I heard about the bankruptcy. I had to see it for myself." Lisa walked past Nyla into the penthouse without being invited. "Wow. You really are packing. I thought maybe the news was exaggerating."Eric came out of the bedroom carrying a box. Stopped when he saw Lisa."What are you doing here?" he asked."I came to see how you are doing. And also to say thank you.""Thank you?""Yes. For being such a mess. For destroying your own life. Because if you had not, I might have actually ended up with you." Lisa laughed. It was bright and cruel. "Thank god I dodged that bullet."Eric just stared at her. No reaction. No emotion. Like he was looking at a stranger."Nothing to say?" Lisa asked. "No b

    The first creditor called three days after the bankruptcy filing."Mr. Harper? This is First National Bank calling about your outstanding loan. We need to discuss payment arrangements.""I filed for bankruptcy," Eric said."Corporate bankruptcy. Not personal bankruptcy. Your personal guarantees on the business loans are still enforceable. You owe us twelve million dollars."Eric hung up.The phone rang again five minutes later. Different creditor. Same message.Then another call. And another.By the end of the day, Eric had received calls from seven different creditors. Banks. Investors. Vendors. All demanding payment for debts Eric could not pay."You personally guaranteed these loans, Mr. Harper. That means you are liable even though the company is bankrupt.""We are filing a lien against your assets. The penthouse will be sold to recover what you owe us.""Your cars are registered as collateral. We are repossessing them tomorrow."Eric turned off his phone. But the emails kept comi
