CHAPTER 4 – Learning to Be a Father
Three months later...
The divorce case remained open.
Not because Amelia wanted revenge.
Because she wanted proof.
Proof that Ethan wasn't simply reacting to guilt.
Every Saturday morning, he came to the small townhouse where Amelia and Rose lived.
No bodyguards.
No chauffeur.
No assistants.
Only Ethan.
He learned how to warm baby bottles.
How to change diapers.
How to rock Rose back to sleep after nightmares.
The first time Rose called him "Daddy," he froze.
Amelia saw tears fill his eyes.
"I didn't earn that."
"No," Amelia answered softly.
"But you can spend the rest of your life trying."
He smiled sadly.
"I intend to."
Meanwhile, Ethan launched an internal investigation at Blackwood Holdings.
Emails had been deleted.
Employees had accepted bribes.
Executives had hidden personal correspondence from him for over a year.
Every person involved was dismissed.
Including members of his own family's private office.
His mother wasn't simply removed from the company.

She was removed from his life.
Some betrayals carried consequences money couldn't erase.
