Chapter 6: The Man Who Lost Everything

Months passed.
The Whitmore empire disappeared.
Daniel lost his wealth, his reputation, and the respect of everyone around him.
One evening, he found Emma outside her company building.
“I’m sorry.”
Emma stopped.
“I really am.”
He looked different.
Older.
Broken.
“I should have defended you.”
Emma nodded.
“Yes.”
“You should have.”
Daniel’s eyes filled with regret.
“But I didn’t.”
Emma walked away.
