CHAPTER 3 — The Mistress’s Collapse
Sophie didn’t understand what was happening at first.
She was still smiling when Lucas grabbed his hair in panic.
“Fix this!” she screamed. “You said she was nothing!”
But Lucas didn’t even look at her anymore.
For the first time, he saw her clearly.

A distraction.
A liability.
“You ruined everything,” he snapped.
Sophie froze.
“What… what are you saying?”

From the television that suddenly turned on in the dining room.
Breaking news.
“BREAKING: Whitmore Holdings stock crashes 62% after ownership transfer leak…”
Sophie’s face went pale.
“No… that’s not possible…”
Her hand instinctively went to her stomach.
But no one cared anymore.
Not Lucas.
Not Richard.
May you like
Not Helen.
Because they were all watching their empire die.
