Chapter 11

Lisa adjusted her chair in the spacious living room of the O’Connell estate, her sketchpad perched on her knees. The designs she worked on for her fashion class were coming together nicely, but she couldn’t shake the growing tension in the house. Despite her best efforts to be polite and gracious, the hostility from Williams’ mother, Stacy, and Morgan was relentless. Every cutting remark, every snide comment about her background, chipped away at her composure.Her pencil hesitated mid-stroke as the sound of footsteps echoed behind her. She turned to see Williams walking in, his expression unreadable. His silence lately had been unsettling, and the unspoken distance between them gnawed at her.“Is everything alright?” Lisa asked hesitantly, closing her sketchpad.Instead of answering, Williams pulled a small envelope from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table.

The man who once commanded boardrooms and navigated billion-dollar deals now felt lost in his own life. Lisa’s absence gnawed at him.

Now, they were gone. He poured himself a drink, though it was only midday, and stared at the photograph that had caused the rift between them. The picture of Lisa with another man—a photo that Morgan had so conveniently sent him—lay on his desk. He had stared at it for weeks, dissecting every detail, until the truth finally emerged. The man was Lisa’s cousin. The realization had struck him like a lightning bolt. The love of his life had been accused, mistrusted, and driven away because of his
