CHAPTER 3: THE MAN SHE THOUGHT WAS NOTHING
Victoria's face turned white.
Camila's bouquet slipped from her fingers.
The entire ballroom stared as Ethan calmly wiped away the last trace of emotion from his face.
The vulnerability disappeared.
In its place stood a man completely in control.
The same man who quietly owned the estate.
The same man who controlled the trust behind billions in assets.
The same man Camila had just humiliated in front of everyone.
"Ethan, wait," Camila pleaded.
Her confidence was gone.
"We can talk about this."
But it was too late.
Ethan didn't even look at her.
Instead, he turned toward the head of security.
"The catering contracts are canceled."
The room froze.
"The security protocols have been updated."
Four security officers immediately stepped forward.
Camila finally understood.
Not only had she rejected the wrong man.
She had rejected the owner of the empire she desperately wanted to join.
As security escorted her family toward the exit, Ethan walked away without looking back.
And while Camila disappeared into the rain outside...
the guests remained seated in stunned silence.
