"I've agreed to marry you. We'll do it just like last time. We'll get married, have the baby, and I'll cut all ties with Sylvia."

For a moment, all I could feel was the sheer absurdity of it.

I laughed. "You're out of your mind."

Eugene seized my arm, his grip bruising, his expression savage.

"Isn't this what you wanted? You know damn well the company's finished without that chip. You've been dangling it over my head, running off to cut deals with Stanley Farley. You just wanted me to regret it, didn't you?"

Resentment bled through every word.

"And you went after Sylvia. I told you, in this life I owe her. Nobody touches her! But you had to drag everything into the open, make it a public spectacle!"

"Do you have any idea that my family already shipped her overseas? They sent her to Southeast Asia!"

I let out a cold laugh. "And that's my problem how? She couldn't control herself, came after me, and now she's reaping what she sowed. You both deserve it."

"Let go of me!"

I shoved him hard, but he grabbed me, spun me around, and shoved me into the sauna room. The door slammed shut behind me.

My stomach dropped. I threw myself against the door, pounding on it with both fists.
