When he saw me, he frowned. “Why are you here? Come to ruin the fun again? Listen, I’ve already hired Chloe as my secretary. She’s coming with me to tomorrow’s financing meeting—”
“Fine,” I cut him off. “As long as you sign here.”
Stunned, he was about to read it when Chloe tugged at him.
“Ethan, hurry up! I’m waiting to play!”
He scribbled his name without a thought.
I took the paper and turned to leave.
Behind me, someone teased, “Man, she acts like your wife.”
“Yeah, Chloe, do you actually like him?”
“Yes. I do. I like him. A lot.”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was crystal clear.
Ethan froze. Then, unable to control himself, he cupped her chin and kissed her.
The room erupted in cheers.
Through the glass, I stood outside, the scene stabbing into my heart like needles.
Beside me, Daniel’s face had darkened in fury. He moved to storm in, but I grabbed his arm.
Instead, I turned to a staff member.
“Do you have security footage?”
He nodded. Daniel followed him out.
I turned and tossed my wedding ring—three years of marriage—into the trash.
Ethan, you’ve made your choice.
I can help you rise.
And I can destroy you.
The next day, Chloe made a grand entrance at the Series A financing event.
