Chapter 15 - The Billionaire Breaks Down in Tears
Nia stared at the most powerful man in Chicago, watching the billionaire titan visibly crumble before her eyes.
“You think hiding them was easy, Luca? Every single night I wondered if you would find out, if you would use your infinite money to tear them away from me,” Nia whispered, her voice finally cracking with suppressed emotion.
“I didn't want them raised in a toxic world of corporate greed and fake marriages like the one you built with Evelyn,” she added fiercely.
Luca closed the distance between them, stopping just inches from her desk, his broad shoulders slumping in absolute defeat.
“I broke up with Evelyn yesterday, Nia. I fired my entire inner circle of advisors. I don't care about the empire anymore,” Luca said, his voice dropping to a raw, broken whisper.
“I just want a chance to be their father. And... and a chance to prove to you that I’m not the monster you walked away from.”
