Chapter 1

When I walked out of the banquet hall, the thunderous cheers and applause were still ringing behind me.I smiled, but there was a chill in my eyes.Five years of everything I had given him, and this was what I got in return.I dialed another number.“Cut off and reclaim every supply route, business connection, and financial channel I personally established under Matthew’s name. Starting today, he won’t be able to use a single connection I built for him.”I gave the order calmly and hung up.Matthew had never known that every brick he had climbed over these past five years had been laid by my own hands.The partnerships he believed he had fought for himself had only been secured because the other parties were willing to cooperate out of respect for my family name.With a single word, I could bring those opportunities to him.And with a single word, I could take them all away.He was the one who broke his promise first.He couldn’t blame me for refusing to show mercy.Just as I was about

I returned to the little apartment that belonged to me.A stack of papers was still spread across the table—the strategic plan for Matthew’s business for the second half of the year, which I had spent an entire week preparing.Channel expansion, networking, cash-flow schedules…Every page was filled with notes I had written by hand, along with backup plans for every possible contingency.I smiled faintly and fed the entire stack into the shredder.When I was done, I opened my closet and packed my personal belongings and important documents into a suitcase.Then I booked a flight back to Sicily.As for Matthew, I had nothing left to say.Whatever had existed between us was over.By the time I dragged my suitcase to the airport, the television screens in the departure hall were broadcasting the local news.Matthew was wearing the dark-gray suit I had picked out for him.With one arm around Lilith’s waist and their fingers intertwined, he smiled at the cameras.Lilith leaned against him af

“ Mr. Matthew. I'm going home.”“As for whatever is going on between you and Miss Lilith, that's none of my business anymore.”I smiled faintly and continued.“Oh, and there's something else you should know.”“For the past five years, every business connection and partnership your company has had was established through me.”“The partners have already called me . Starting today, they'll be cutting all ties with you.”There was a brief silence on the other end.Then Matthew's voice suddenly rose.“Eve, have you lost your mind?! I worked my ass off to secure those partnerships! What gives you the right to take them away?!”“What gives me the right?”I let out a soft laugh.I didn't answer.I gave Matthew no chance to question me further. I hung up and immediately blocked his number.By the time the plane took off, the lights of Rome had gradually faded into a blur of distant points through the airplane window.I leaned back against my seat and closed my eyes.When the plane landed in Sic

“Eve, even if that's true, you're still my assistant! You have to come back!”Matthew's voice on the other end was frantic and anxious, nothing like the calm and composed man he'd been at the celebration banquet that night.I leaned against the headboard and let out a soft laugh.“Mr. Matthew, you said it yourself. I'm only your assistant.”“So I have no obligation to maintain your business connections, build your network, or continue paving the way for you.”Matthew completely lost his composure.“Eve, didn't you say you loved me?!”His voice suddenly rose, almost hysterical.“Is this how you treat the man you love?!”“You cut off those connections just like that, and now my cash flow is completely frozen!”“Eve, I'm supposed to meet Lilith's father next week to discuss a government contract. You’ve left me in this state. How am I supposed to show my face?!”“If you love me, then you should help me!”Listening to the sheer entitlement in his voice, I gave a quiet laugh.“I'm sorry, Mr

Chapter 5

I listened to Matthew's voice on the other end of the phone and smiled.Then I spoke calmly.“Mr. Matthew, I'm not sure what you mean.”“How did you convince every single one of my business partners to cut ties with me?”“Eve, so you really did have something going on with those business partners, didn't you?!”“I always suspected it. Otherwise, how could you possibly have secured all those deals so easily?”Matthew's furious voice exploded through the phone.It sounded as though he'd been holding back his anger all day, and now it had finally reached its breaking point.“I'm warning you, Eve. Restore all of the company's partnerships immediately.”“Then come back and arrange the guest list and venue for next week's wedding banquet.”“If you do that, I'll forgive you!”“Otherwise, Lilith and her father won't let you off the hook!”I shook my head.“Mr. Matthew, you're overthinking this.”I paused for a moment.“Oh, and there's something else.”“All of the business agreements between th

Chapter 6

I paid no attention to the online backlash.After all, I had officially taken over the family's entire business.That night, my father called me into his study.He formally handed me the family seal and the key to the family safe.“My mother and I have wanted to retire for a long time,” he said. “Now that you've finally come home, we can finally put our minds at ease.”I looked into his slightly clouded eyes and nodded.I didn't say anything.I simply put the key and the family seal into my bag.My parents wanted to spend some time in Sardinia.It was quiet there, with clean air and beautiful scenery.My mother had been talking about going for years.I agreed.Then I personally drove them to the airport.I stood in the terminal for a while, watching their two figures disappear farther and farther beyond the security checkpoint.Only then did I turn around to leave.Just then, my phone rang.An unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.I answered.“Eve, why?!”“Why didn't you tell me yo

“Eve… please. Help me…”Matthew's voice trembled on the other end, almost pleading.“All of those business partners are suing me!”“The banks are demanding repayment. Several shipments of mine are being held at the docks, and they won't let me move them!”“Lilith's father is in trouble himself. He can't do anything for me anymore!”“Eve, it took me five years to finally get where I am today.”“If I lose all of this, I'll have nothing left!”“I've already broken up with Lilith. I swear!”“I told her to her face that there was nothing between us anymore!”“As long as you restore those business connections for me, I'll do anything!”“Eve, can we start over?”“You still love me, don't you?”Matthew's voice sounded like a drowning man desperately reaching for the last piece of driftwood keeping him afloat.Over the past few days, he and Lilith had been subjected to an overwhelming wave of online backlash.After the Moretti family intervened, Mayor Bianchi was formally placed under investiga

Chapter 8

As the workday drew to an end, my car had just driven out through the gates when I spotted someone standing across the street.It was Matthew.He was wearing a wrinkled old coat.His hair was a complete mess, and his shoulders were hunched as though he'd lost a considerable amount of weight.The moment he saw my car, his eyes lit up.He immediately rushed over.“Eve! I really know I was wrong. Please, don't ignore me!”He grabbed onto my car window, his voice so hoarse that it was almost impossible to make out his words.“Those creditors have been waiting outside my place every day. I don't have the money to pay them!”“My house has been seized. My car was repossessed. Even the little money I had in my bank account has been frozen!”“I went to Lilith, but she wouldn't even see me!”“After her father was taken away, she started getting chased by creditors too. She ran off to Milan a long time ago!”As Matthew spoke, tears began streaming down his face.Mixed with mucus, they smeared acr
