Chapter 7 - The Unmasked Ex-Fiancé
"I can't go home with you, Julian," Abigail cried softly, wiping her tears as she looked down at the marble floor. "Not yet. There's... there's something else you need to know."
"What is it?" Julian asked, his brow furrowing as he kept a protective hand on her arm.
Before Abigail could answer, a panicked voice shouted from theVIP lounge near the edge of the ballroom.
"Abigail! What on earth is taking you so long with the drinks?!"
A tall, impeccably groomed man in a sharp grey tuxedo stepped out from the shadows. He looked annoyed, holding a glass of scotch, completely unaware of the massive crowd gathered around them.
It was Richard Vance—Julian’s primary corporate rival and Abigail’s secret ex-fiancé, who had publicly dumped her six months ago when she refused to sign a pre-nup, claiming she was just a penniless orphan.
Richard froze.
He looked at the shattered glass. He looked at Julian standing beside her with his terrifying, murderous stare. And then, he looked at Abigail’s apron pocket, where the ultrasound photo was still partially visible.

The color drained entirely from Richard’s face. The scotch glass slipped from his fingers, shattering loudly against the floor just like Abigail’s tray had minutes earlier.
👉 Richard realized he had just insulted, abandoned, and mistreated the billionaire tech titan's only sister, and his nightmare was just beginning.
