"I'll return that old car to you. As for the two million, I'll pay it back next week. I can't access it right now," he said dismissively.
Brian was clueless that I was the heiress to Titan Corp, having left my family just to be with him.
"We're about to tie the knot, and you're just now realizing we're not on the same wavelength?" I looked at Brian, heart sinking, yet hoping he'd pull through.
"Yeah, my mom's been on about it—you tearing away from your family isn't a good look." Brian's tone was icy as if he was talking about someone else's problems.
Shocked, I just stared at him, seeing him as if for the first time in a harsh new light.
I'd abandoned a fortune at Titan Corp for him, but ironically, it was Titan Corp that showed me his true colors.
"Alright, let's end this. I wouldn't want to drag down your bright future!"
I was about to add more, but Brian cut in first.
"Get your stuff out by tomorrow. My mom's having guests over for dinner."
My mouth fell open, the words I'd planned choked back by tears as I retreated.
The next morning, the doorbell snapped me out of my thoughts.
Opening the door to find Linda there snapped me back to reality.
