Chapter 21

The office became suffocatingly silent. Jessa took a page out of her document and calmly asked, “Are you done?”Sawyer was stunned. Jessa’s unbothered tone hurt him more than any form of vengeance. He could not see any emotion in Jessa’s eyes. The realization ripped him apart. “Jessa, I really love you…”Jessa nodded at the document on her desk. A pen hit the surface of the desk, the sound of it interrupting Sawyer’s speech. “Look at this when you’re done.”Sawyer looked at the document and was taken aback. It was an acknowledgement of debt. The Cevina Group had maliciously transferred the Pitt Group’s funds away. Since Sawyer and Vanessa could be considered a married couple, this action could be considered an intentional transfer of funds. They were waiting for Dawn Capital to purchase the company. “Did you mean this as your surprise? Or was it the 30% of company assets you transferred away to fill the hole Vanessa caused in the finances while I was sick?“Or was your

Jessa swiftly reorganized the Pitt Group’s assets and established a close partnership with Adam’s Damaris Technologies. They created a business called Dawn Star Investments that quickly became a domineering force in the business world. Meanwhile, Pitt Villa became a husk, devoid of all furnishings.Sawyer sat on the only chair, holding a document for the purchase of the Cevina Group. This was what he had traded all his assets and his parents’ Pitt Villa for.Vanessa was restrained before him, her eyes filled with despair. “Your father produced quite an efficient daughter. If not for my investigations, I wouldn’t have found any of this out.”Sawyer pressed something on his phone, and the voice recording of her schemes with some other board members played. He also placed information regarding Alvin’s once-secret account and proof of Vanessa secretly moving funds prior. “How does it feel to see the company you tried to protect get destroyed so thoroughly?”Sawyer revelled in

After that day, Sawyer fell into a stubborn frenzy. He kept bugging Jessa in various ways. He was always outside the company’s building, and every day he spent there was a day well spent, to him.He even made his rounds in front of Jessa’s house. He was like a ghost haunting the place. But Jessa ignored him. Every time she ignored Sawyer, it added another layer of hurt to him. One afternoon, Adam suddenly called and said he wanted to take her somewhere. When the car came to a stop, Jessa found themselves on a familiar private archery range. When she saw the sign for it, Jessa frowned. “What are we doing here?”Ever since Sawyer brought Vanessa here, this place had become like a scar to her. Adam undid his seatbelt and walked around the car to open Jessa’s door. Then, he placed a key engraved with her initials gently in her palm.“I bought it.” He looked at her with a warm, soft gaze and said, “I’ve changed everything inside. From now on, it’s yours, Jessa.”Jessa

Jessa’s life became filled with warmth and light. At the same time, Sawyer fell into a boundless abyss of darkness. He was constantly suffering, and he did not have a safe harbor anywhere. He could only go back to roaming within his empty villa. In the villa, Vanessa was still curled up in a corner. When she heard the door opening and saw Sawyer with his despairing expression, she first froze. Then, she laughed. “What, has she chased you away?”Sawyer abruptly raised his head. His gaze was vicious. But that only made Vanessa laugh more. She looked at Sawyer with a hysterical light in her eyes. “Are you sad? Well, I have an even more painful truth to share with you. Do you remember the shipment in Mejika?”Sawyer was in a daze for a bit. He remembered that phone call with Alvin, when he had mentioned Jessa’s negotiation tactics, implying something lecherous.Vanessa kept talking. “Jessa outdrank everyone else. At first, when she puked, she threw up alcohol. But then, sh

Sawyer stood up in a daze. When he returned to his senses, he was standing on the roof of the Dawn Star Investments building. A cool breeze had messed up his hair. Below him was a long drop.Jessa used to meet up here with him countless times. Every time, Jessa would remind him not to stand at the edge, as it was dangerous. But he was right there at the roof’s edge, and no one was there to remind him to keep a distance. Sawyer looked at the stars above him. Mechanically, he raised his hand and called Jessa one last time. His voice was scarily calm.“I want to see you one last time, Jessa. Just once. I won’t bother you again. I’m on the roof. You know where.”Not long after he hung up, Jessa’s footsteps sounded on the stairs. Sawyer turned around in excitement, but before he could smile, he noticed Adam standing next to Jessa. His smile became shallow and painful.That was right. He was the only one who believed that he could mend his relationship with Jessa. In the time
