He immediately pulled out his phone.
He sent me an ultimatum, [I’m giving you five minutes. Come over here immediately and kneel down to apologize to Matilda.]
Maximo, waiting for a reply but receiving no response, laughed in anger, finally losing his patience.
He had always looked down on people who abused power, yet for Matilda, he did it for the first time.
He skipped every official review and, using his status as the Alvarez Group’s heir, issued an industry-wide blacklist against me.
I had spent half my life working nonstop, pouring everything into the career I loved.
And with one casual sentence from him, it all disappeared.
Matilda finally smiled through her tears, nestling contentedly into his arms. "Max, I knew you were the best to me."
Maximo didn't respond, his hands gripping his phone tightly, his face dark and menacing as he stared at the screen.
He thought this would force me out.
But he didn't know, I would never appear again.
Watching my palm grow fainter in the wind, I wanted to smile, but tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
Loving him cost me everything—my life, my name and even in death I’m trapped at his side like a lonely ghost.
How ridiculous.
