I Will Never Financially Recover Novels & Stories

"Mom, I can't. I don't have any money." His mother's voice turned cold. "What do you mean you don't have any money? You're a CEO, for God's sake. How could you let this happen?" Ethan felt a surge of anger. "I didn't let anything happen. The economy tanked, and I lost everything. It's not my fault." "What do you mean?" "Mom, my company failed. I have no money now." "Failed? Why?" "I can't tell you why right now" Ethan replied again.

I was just always waiting for the right time to make my move, but he was hardly ever home once I came back from college. This was my last opportunity, and I thought I had it in the bag until that Silla person intruded. It seems like something is always getting in the way of my happiness with Gabe, but this time, I won’t give up so easily. I need this now; there’s no going back because my time is running out. My dad has cut me off for good, it seems like this time, and I have very little money left. I know how these things work and what happens to women in my circle who lose everything. Everyone turns their back on her because they’re afraid of catching whatever bad luck she has.

But now, my! I look at Mr. Mazur again as he continues with his speech. “I forgot that money is not everything, and that fact was slapped at me in the most horrible manner. Look at me now, confounded in this damn wheelchair. I haven’t set foot out of the house for almost two years. The family image that I was trying to protect is now on the verge of shame with all that has happened. Not even my fortune can save us, nor can my fortune give me good health.” He shuts his eyes to the pain.

But I pay him to hear my frustrations, so he doesn’t count. Shit, I thought. How will we be able to continue to pay him for my treatment and medication if we’re broke? What if I have another episode? This illness is the sole reason I’m in this mess in the first place. What if it happens again like that day two years ago? What if I hurt people again? What the hell am I going to do if that happens? No, better question, what the hell is this pack going to do to me if that happens?

"What a pity! I thought I raised you well, how could your knowledge be limited like that. I wanted you to be a genius." "I am sorry that I have failed you. I will do better and get a limitless knowledge." "Whatever, that is not necessary anymore. Right now I want you to be the most dependent person in the world." "Why if I may ask?" "Well you realize we couldn't send as much money as we could before. That is because we are having a bit of a financial crisis but it's nothing serious and it will be resolved soon." "I understand. What may I do to be of any assistance?"

I had no idea why I suddenly contracted it, maybe the world just hated me that much. Even if I wanted treatment, money was a problem. My salary and savings wouldn’t cover the operation. And Vercel’s money? Forget it. I hadn’t touched a single penny since we married. The only things I used were the clothes he bought for me; as for jewelry, I wore sparingly, afraid that I might lose it. “Ms. Sky, there’s still hope. You can’t give up on your life. Bruises from extreme sports… now self-inflicted wounds… Please, cherish your life.”

“Dangerous. I know. But what choice do I have? Let Adrian take my company? Declare bankruptcy? Sell everything and admit I’ve failed?” “You haven’t failed.” “Haven’t I? I lost our baby. Lost millions of dollars. I’m about to lose my company to a man who’s been waiting eight years to destroy me.” I take her hand. “I’m failing at everything that matters.” “You didn’t lose our baby. Someone took it from us.” Her fingers tighten on mine. “And the money, the company, that’s not your fault. The market crashed. That happens.” “While my phone was off. While I was too distracted to pay attention. If I’d been reachable, if I’d been focused, maybe I could have—”

I was so focused on revenge that I almost threw away my most valuable asset. I wouldn't have been able to balance my finances back without him. Now, I'm back to living comfortably, making millions even though it's not at the billion level yet. But I know I'm getting there, climbing back to where I was before. Which is why I can't risk Thorne regaining his memory and refusing to help me again.

I remembered because she told me earlier before my various meetings this morning that she got some information about his brokenness and while he needs the loan. “There was a fire outbreak and It ruined his major estates. According to my source he spent all his finances to repair the damages. It was a huge loss to him and now he needs money to kick start the next project if he is going to remain in business..” She explained but I realized I had no pity for him. Instead I laughed … “The fire outbreak didn’t finish its job, he should have gotten burnt as well, he deserves it..” “So what should we do? He is desperate with what I can say and he has sent tons of emails and guess what?”

It wasn’t even up to twenty-four hours yet and I had already lost the most important deal in my life. My financial life was already in danger. Now I understood why Ivy deliberately went for the most expensive options, she knew exactly what she was doing. I couldn’t even get the money I spent back because I didn’t get to marry her. All my plans had failed. I was financially wrecked and wasn’t even sure anyone would want to collaborate with me. I had no idea what I was going to do. Everything was a total mess. I went back downstairs and saw that Zara was still in the living room. “Who called you?” She asked as she saw me. “Is everything okay?”
