The Billionaire's Ultimatum
“It was Grace’s final attempt to save me from myself. By tying me to someone good, someone pure, she thought maybe I’d find redemption or whatever she believed I needed.”
The silence stretched between us. I expected judgment, disgust maybe, but when I turned back, Laura was just watching me with understanding in her eyes.
“Your coldness,” she said slowly, “it’s armor, isn’t it?”
I didn’t answer, but I didn’t need to.
“In your world, showing weakness gets you killed,” she continued, echoing my earlier words. “So you don’t show anything at all.”
“Something like that.”
Laura unfolded herself completely now, sitting cross-legged on the couch.
