When he saw me actually swipe the card and pay the full penalty, Abraham closed the distance in a few strides and seized my wrist.

"Think carefully. If you walk out today, I will never give you another role. Ever."

His grip sent pain shooting up my arm. I wrenched free.

Abraham's smile turned even colder.

"I'm just worried that after dropping a hundred million, you won't be able to afford your next meal."

"Mr. Simmons doesn't need to worry about me."

I answered calmly, turned around, and walked out without looking back.

This time, he didn't follow.

The moment I stepped off set, I called my father.

"Dad, come pick me up."

When I got home, I didn't hesitate. I packed every piece of clothing into my suitcase.

My gaze drifted to the safe beside the closet.

My heart skipped half a beat.

Inside were all the gifts Abraham had given me over the years.

I let out a bitter laugh, opened the safe, and dumped everything inside into the trash.

Since I'd already decided to leave, there was no reason to keep any of it.

I grabbed my suitcase and was heading for the door when the man standing in my way stopped me cold.
