"I was your wife," Elena corrected sharply, her realistic facial micro-expressions showing zero mercy. "But you proved exactly what kind of monster you are."

Chloe whimpered, her hands shaking as she violently yanked the three-carat diamond off her finger and placed it trembling on the mahogany table.
Elena turned her lethal gaze back to Richard.

"Elena, please!" Richard sobbed, his arrogant facade completely shattering as he fell to his knees on the boardroom floor in front of his pregnant wife. "I was wrong! I love you! Please, I'll do anything! Don't leave me with nothing!"
