“I’m sorry,” Emily whispered, her head dropping as if the weight of it all was too much. “I really love him. Please… let me have him.”

I stared at her, taken aback by just how deep her obsession with Nathan ran.

Emily’s voice was weak. “My dad gave him a choice, and he picked you. So my dad lost it, pulled all his support, and now he wants to see Nathan ruined. I’ve been begging him to stop, but he just won’t listen to me anymore.”

She murmured, her voice full of pain, “The only reason I’m meeting you now is because my dad kept me locked up at home for three days. I never thought things would spiral this far out of control.”

I sighed. “Your dad’s trying to drag him through the mud, make sure he never rises again. He’s shut out every potential investor.”
