Chapter 4 - The Engagement Is Broken and Evelyn Is Banished
Martin Hart stopped beside his daughter, glaring furiously at the security monitor still looping the incriminating footage.
“Turn this ridiculous nonsense off right now, Roman, or our business alliance is finished,” Martin threatened loudly.
Roman turned slowly to face the powerful real estate tycoon without an ounce of intimidation.
“The alliance was finished the moment your daughter decided to act like a sadistic tyrant in my home,” Roman replied flatly.
“She is going to be your wife! She has a right to manage the domestic staff however she sees fit!” Martin roared.
“She had no authority, and she certainly has no humanity,” Roman said, stepping directly into Martin’s personal space.
“I am breaking the engagement, effective immediately.”
Evelyn gasped, clutching her father’s arm as the reality of public humiliation settled over her.
“You can’t do this! The newspapers, the political contracts, our families!” Evelyn screamed hysterically.
“Pack your bags, Evelyn, and get out of my estate before my security team removes you by force,” Roman commanded.
