Liam noticed.
“Good,” he said. “I’m glad you’re finally being reasonable.”
Victoria stared at him.
For the first time in years, she wasn’t seeing the man she loved.
She was seeing a stranger.
A stranger who had watched her work three jobs.
A stranger who had accepted her money, her support, and her love while secretly waiting for the moment he could trade her in for someone “better.”
“Did you ever love me?” she asked.
The question caught him off guard.
His expression changed for only a second.
Then it disappeared.
“I loved who we were,” he said. “But people change.”
“No,” Victoria whispered. “You changed.”
Liam looked away.
That was when Victoria understood.
There was no apology coming.
No regret.
No moment where he would realize what he was doing.
He had already decided she was disposable.
“Sign the papers,” he repeated.
Victoria looked down at the envelope.
Then she looked at her phone.
The notification from Adrian was still glowing.
Eight hundred million dollars.
A life-changing amount of money.
A future she had created without Liam.
And suddenly, the humiliation she felt moments ago began to fade.
Because Liam thought he was walking away from a struggling student.
He had no idea he was walking away from the woman who was about to become one of the most powerful people in Silicon Valley.
But Victoria wasn’t ready to tell him.
Not yet.
She slipped her phone back into her pocket.
“Okay,” she said softly.
Liam smiled.
Jessica smiled even wider.
Neither of them noticed the change in Victoria’s expression.
