Chapter 8 - Damon Tries Desperately To Block Her Departure
Hearing the private elevator chime, Damon scrambled up from the floor and sprinted down the hallway in a panic.
“Maya, wait! You can’t leave me like this, let’s talk about how we can fix this together!” Damon pleaded, grabbing the edge of the elevator door.
Maya jammed her finger onto the lobby button, her expression remaining as cold and unyielding as polished steel.
“There is nothing to fix, Damon. You broke something that can never, ever be repaired,” Maya said as the doors began to slide shut.
Damon tried to wedge his arm between the closing panels, but the electronic safety sensors forced the heavy metal doors back open.
“If you walk out those doors today, I swear I will make sure you don’t get a single dime of the family trust!” Damon threatened angrily.
