CHAPTER 4
Too Late
Three months later...
Daniel lived alone in a small apartment.
The mansion was gone.
The luxury cars were gone.
His friends had disappeared.
Even the people who once praised him no longer answered his calls.
One rainy evening, he stood outside Elena's office.
She walked out surrounded by executives.
He waited until everyone left.
"I'm sorry."
She stopped.
He continued.
"I finally understand everything."
"I understand what you sacrificed."
"I understand how badly I failed you."
For a long moment...
She said nothing.
Then she smiled gently.
"Daniel..."
Hope returned to his eyes.
"I forgive you."
His face brightened.
Until she finished.
"But forgiveness doesn't mean another chance."
She walked away.
He never followed.

Because deep inside...
He knew she was right.
