CHAPTER 4: The Fall of Lucas

CHAPTER 4: The Fall of Lucas
By midnight, Lucas was no longer a CEO.
He was nothing.
Investors pulled out.
Partners vanished.
The media smelled blood.
And Sophie?
She was screaming at him in their penthouse.
“You told me I was safe!” she cried.
Lucas grabbed his hair.
“I didn’t know! She never told me—”
“She never told you what?” Sophie snapped. “That you were disposable?”
A knock interrupted them.
Security.
Not his.
Mine.
“You are required to vacate the property.”
Lucas stepped forward.
“I own this building!”
The guard didn’t even blink.
“Not anymore, sir.”
The door closed behind them.
