I put my phone away and frowned at the steak in front of me.I had always preferred lighter food, a habit I had kept for nearly ten years. But Nancy Coleman liked rich, heavy meals. In the four years since she moved in, I had changed my entire diet to suit her.I turned to my housekeeper. "Danielle, three days from now, switch back to the old menu."Danielle Maxwell looked surprised but nodded."What's happening in three days?"The sound of heels clicked across the floor as Nancy walked in with a limited-edition handbag on her arm.She had spent the past two days waiting for me to come after her and smooth things over, but I hadn't bothered. She still looked annoyed, though her expression softened when she saw the table filled with her favorite dishes.She let out a small huff. "Bradley, you've ignored me for two days, but you're still having all my favorite food made and waiting for me to come home every night."When I first brought Nancy home, she was always careful aroun

Nancy handed me my phone with an annoyed look.The second I took it, Joshua called."Mr. Harris, where are you? The people from Apex Holdings are already here. I can only stall them for another half hour. You need to get to the office as soon as possible."That was when I realized it was already the next day.My stomach dropped. I threw back the covers and tried to get out of bed.Nancy had clearly heard the call. She immediately moved to stop me. "You can't go to that meeting!"She seemed to realize how suspicious that sounded and quickly changed her tone. "I mean, you just got hurt. Your health matters more. Work can wait."I tried to move past her, but I was still weak from the accident. She easily forced me back down onto the bed.When I tried to get up again, Nancy finally snapped and slapped me across the face."I told you to stay in bed!"The second she hit me, we both froze.Nancy seemed shocked by what she had done. She quickly turned and left, but before she we

I followed the group and watched Nancy slip her arm through Austin's the moment he showed up. They stayed close, laughing together. She made no effort to hide how happy she was to see him.As soon as Austin sat down in the private dining room, he looked over at me with a smug expression."Bradley, how does it feel knowing I took the Apex deal right out from under you? Not that getting upset will change anything. If you let a woman get in the way of business, sooner or later, you're going to run your company into the ground."I stirred the lemon water in front of me and didn't respond."What, nothing to say?"My lack of reaction only made him angrier. He suddenly grabbed a wine bottle from the table and hurled it at me.I didn't get out of the way in time. The bottle hit me, and blood started running down the side of my face.The police arrived not long after someone reported the disturbance. By the time they walked in, Nancy was still checking Austin's hand for shards from the b

"I'm sorry, miss, but this bracelet is a glass imitation. It isn't worth much.""What?" Nancy's eyes widened.But the manager sounded so certain that she couldn't deny it.She couldn't believe Austin had actually dared to fool her.Furious, she marched over and kicked him hard.She still had a bill to pay, though. Nancy yanked off her necklace and earrings and handed them over."What about these?"Bradley gave her those, so there was no way they were fake, too.The manager examined them carefully before saying, "These are worth about 200 thousand at most. You're still short 360 thousand."Nancy clenched her jaw. She took off the ring Bradley gave her, handed over her limited-edition designer bag, and even slipped off her diamond-studded heels."What about all of this? That has to be enough."The manager added everything up, then nodded. "That should just about cover it."As the server carried away the jewelry, bag, and shoes she had always been so proud of, Nancy felt compl

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing my expressionless face.I looked at Nancy as if she were a complete stranger."Nancy," I said calmly, "whatever was between us ended the day you graduated."Then I rolled the window back up, shutting her out.The car pulled away without stopping again.Nancy stood frozen as the car disappeared into traffic. A moment later, her knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground in tears.None of it made sense to her. I had spent years giving her everything she wanted, yet now I was cutting her out of my life as if she meant nothing to me.But she refused to give up. For the next several days, she followed me everywhere, trying to find a chance to talk to me.My bodyguards kept her from getting anywhere near me.Then one day, she followed me to a cemetery and finally found an opening.By the time she caught up, I was standing in front of a headstone with a bouquet of white lisianthu, grief written across my face."Bradley..."Nancy app
