Sienna stared at the transcript in absolute horror, realizing that her multimillion-dollar future had evaporated in a single second.
“Elias, please! Mother misunderstood my frustration—I was just stressed, I never meant to walk away!” she cried out hysterically.
“Words are cheap, Sienna; you taught me that rule yourself when you thought I had lost everything,” Elias replied without emotion.

She pulled the device out with trembling fingers and answered the incoming call from her frantic father in downtown Chicago.
“Sienna! Where are you? The banks just froze all our corporate accounts and liquidated our commercial properties!” her father screamed.
“It’s Elias... he cut us off completely,” Sienna whispered, falling to her knees on the marble floor of the conservatory.

“You fool! You destroyed our entire family in less than forty-eight hours!” her father roared before abruptly hanging up the phone.
Elias turned his back toward her, walking slowly away without offering a single glance of pity or farewell.
