Chapter 4
+15 Bonus
Everyone assumed Steven had announced a company–wide vacation to travel with me. In reality, he was taking Melanie to see the
northern lights.
Had Steven lost his mind?
I immediately called him. “Are you insane? You shut down the entire company for a month just for your fling?!”
His tone was dismissive. “Don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. It’s always been Lanie’s dream to see the auroras. Why
can’t I help her?”
I forced myself to calm down.
“Fine,” I replied coldly. “But don’t come back. I’ll be taking over the company starting tomorrow.”
Steven’s arrogance melted into panic. “Anya, the company is in my name. You can’t just take it from me!”
For convenience, the company had been registered under Steven’s name back then. I hadn’t expected him to burn bridges now.
Backed into a corner, Steven changed tactics, his tone turning coaxing. “Come on, honey. A little excitement doesn’t mean I don’t love you. I’ll settle down after this trip, I promise. You’ll always be my wife–I’m never leaving you.”
How ridiculous. Men and their empty words.
I hung up and blocked his number.
A few days later, Melanie’s social media lit up again.
There she was, wrapped in Steven’s arms beneath the dazzling northern lights, their lips locked in a passionate kiss.
Her caption read: [Someone who loves you will always fulfill your wishes, step by step.]
