Chapter 3 - Brianna Realizes Her Million-Dollar Ambitions Are Vanishing Fast
Brianna stepped back from Julian as if he carried a contagious disease, her eyes darting toward the exit doors.
“You told me your family owned half of Wall Street, Julian!” Brianna snapped, her voice rising in sharp accusation.
“Shut up, Brianna, I am handling it,” Julian muttered, furiously tapping numbers into his locked smartphone screen.
A collective smirk spread across the faces of the rival executives sitting at the adjacent VIP tables.
The million-dollar engagement ring Julian had slipped onto Brianna’s finger suddenly felt heavy and toxic under the chandeliers.
“I am not going down with a bankrupt nobody,” Brianna hissed, pulling the diamond ring off her finger.
She tossed the ring violently onto the crystal-laden table before turning on her high heels and storming away.
Julian didn't even chase her; his entire world was collapsing inward like a imploding skyscraper in real time.
The cameras flashed blindingly from the press box, capturing every humiliating second of his public ruin.
