My brother Christopher owned a boutique on Fifth Avenue. I'd gone in, picked out a few pieces, grabbed a silk scarf on the way, and was heading for the door. The clerk behind the register stopped me. "Ma'am, we'll need you to settle this now." I looked up. Her name tag said Yvonne. Unfamiliar face. Probably new. I didn't think much of it. "Just put it on the owner's account," I said politely. "He knows who I am." She gave a little snort through her nose, eyes raking from my hair down to my shoes. "We don't run accounts here. You might have the wrong store." She pushed an itemized bill across the counter. Four hundred thousand dollars. I scanned the line items. Personal Style Consultation. Premium Fitting Service. VIP Client Private Service. Every single charge cost more than the clothes themselves. I let out a short laugh. "I'm a Whitfield. Christopher's my brother. Whatever this is, he can deal with it at home." Her smile got uglier. "Anyone can claim to be a Whitfield, sweetheart. Are you trying to skip out on the bill, or are you just trying to embarrass yourself?" I didn't bother arguing. I pulled out my phone and texted Christopher: [Fire the clerk named Yvonne in the next ten minutes, or I pull every dollar I have in this store.]

My Brother’s Girlfriend Bullied Me, They Regretted It Chapter 9
I pulled every cent of Whitfield Group's investment out of the boutique chain that had been registered under Christopher's name.A handful of mid- and senior-level managers he'd promoted on that side of the business assumed they were going down with him. Instead, the family rolled their contracts straight over to my new label. Overnight, they jumped ship as a group.Six months later, the brand I'd registered under my own name, Eleanor Whitfield, opened twenty-six flagships across the country in a single push. Couture and ready-to-wear. Then Milan. Then Dubai.I made the cover of Forbes that year. The headline they ran on me was Heiress of the Year.Christopher's old line of business was wound down and shuttered within five months.Christopher's hundred grand went into a few small ventures. Every single one cratered. He'd grown up on unlimited black cards. He genuinely didn't know the difference between $2.60 coffee and $8 coffee.By the second month, he was behind on the utilities for

To everyone's surprise, Christopher actually went to the Whitfield family's private cemetery.No coat. No phone. No food, no water, no sleep.The first day, the housekeeper tried to bring him a glass of water. He didn't touch it. The second day, the old groundskeeper passed by and saw him kneeling there, his back already trembling.The evening of the third day, New York opened up. Pouring rain. Christopher was soaked through. He was running a fever. He was swaying in front of the row of family headstones, but he didn't get up.Around six that evening, Madison called me."Eleanor. It's been three days. The rain's bad. He's burning up. It's not looking right. Do you want to go check on him? It's going to be hard to walk back from this if he actually dies out there."I was in the executive office on the twenty-sixth floor, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. The hot coffee on my desk was still steaming."He won't die," I said. "He's been kneeling for three days. Yesterday I was on th

What came after was easier than I'd expected.Store surveillance, the hospital's certified medical assessment, the eight-hundred-thousand-dollar wire transfer, statements from customers in the store and from both security guards. The evidence was so airtight her own defense attorney didn't want to push back on it.She got five years.I heard at sentencing she was still on the stand crying out Christopher's name, begging him to come save her. What she didn't know was that the clip of her being cuffed and dragged out of that boardroom had been making the rounds since that afternoon, through every high-end fashion and finance circle in the city. Her name was already a punchline.Christopher had bigger problems.By that morning at headquarters, security was already waiting in the lobby. The second he walked in, the directors he used to drink with pretended not to recognize him.My father had the housekeeper pack everything he owned into a few cardboard boxes and dump them at the gate of th

I didn't look at Christopher. I tapped my assistant's phone onto speaker and set it on the long table."Listen carefully.""One. Legal. Before end of day, under the original deed of gift, claw back every share registered under Christopher Whitfield's name and transfer them to me.""Two. HR. Within five minutes, remove Christopher Whitfield from the board and from every position at this company. As of today, he's no longer a director of Whitfield Group.""Three. Office of the President. Reclaim the estate, all vehicles, all family black cards. Freeze every asset effective immediately.""Four. Notify security at headquarters and the estate. Mr. Whitfield is to leave this building within thirty minutes. The estate is to be cleared by tonight. He leaves with the clothes on his back and nothing else."On the other end of the line, my assistant confirmed every item.The room went so still you could hear the hum of the air conditioning.The directors' eyes moved from shock to something colder

Through the heavy double doors, I could hear Yvonne sobbing."Chris, I was just trying to protect the company yesterday. I was worried about a walkout. So I asked her to settle. And she hit me. And then she had me fired.""I'd like to see them try." Christopher's hand slammed the table inside. "Star

My assistant got there faster than I expected. Less than twenty minutes later, the VIP fitting room door slammed open from the outside.She came in with two bodyguards. The second she saw me, face bloody, back marked black, the corner of my mouth still wet, she froze.I shook my head, just slightly.

The lock had barely clicked before Yvonne came in too.She gave the two guards a look. They closed in from either side and pinned me to the leather couch.She reached over to a display rack and pulled down a metal hanger."Women like you," she said, lifting it. "Spending my man's money, walking thro

"Ma'am, you're holding up the line." Yvonne glanced at the customers waiting behind me, voice pitched loud on purpose. "Four hundred grand. Are you paying or not?"A few of them were openly staring now.I called Christopher.Busy signal. Again. And again.It was a weekday. What was he even doing?Ch
