SLAP!

The sharp sound echoed through the office. Cecil’s head snapped to the side, her cheek burning from the force of the impact. She stared at her husband in pure shock, her lips parting slightly as if she couldn’t believe what had just happened.

“You dare-!” she started, but before she could finish–SLAP!

Her head jerked again as CEO Weiss struck her a second time, his palm connecting with her other cheek.

“I dare!” he bellowed, his chest rising and falling as he glared at her. “And I would dare slap you again if you still don’t understand what you’ve done!”

Cecil clutched the edge of the desk, steadying herself as she looked at him in disbelief. “You hit me?” she breathed, her fingers trembling. For the first time in their marriage, he… he hit her! “You- Actually-”

CEO Weiss scoffed. He grabbed a folder from his desk and slammed it down in front of her. “Do you even understand the implications of what you’ve done? Do you realize the mess you just created?”

Cecil’s hands curled into fists. “I was trying to-

“You were trying to what?” CEO Weiss cut her off, his eyes blazing. “Trying to humiliate Izzy? Trying to force her out? Trying to what–scare her?” He let out a bitter laugh as he rubbed his temples. “Did you forget who she is? Did you think she was just some ordinary woman? That she would cower?” He leaned forward, his hands pressing against the desk as he loomed over her. “She’s a Rossi, Cecil. A ROSSI!”

Cecil flinched at the intensity of his words, but he wasn’t finished

“Did you forget who her grandfather was?” he continued, his hands balling into fists. “Did you think that just because old man Rossi is gone, he didn’t leave anything behind? That he didn’t teach her a thing or two?” He let out another laugh, shaking his head. “That man built an empire from the ground up. He crushed anyone who stood in his way. He was ruthless, relentless–and you thought his only heir wouldn’t be the same?

Cecil swallowed hard, her fingers trembling against the desk. “I

“You thought she was bluffing?” CEO Weiss sneered. “That’s what you’re going to say next, isn’t it?” He stepped back. “She warned us. She told us she had evidence, but you didn’t listen. No… instead you wanted the public to judge her, hoping to pressure her!” He gestured toward the door. “Now she’s suing you. Do you understand what this means?”

Cecil clenched her teeth. “I didn’t know about the recording,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. Why the hell would she even think that Izzy had some recorder with her? Who walks around with a video recorder in their purse? “I thought she was just trying to intimidate us.”

CEO Weiss let out a sharp breath before another humorless chuckle escaped him. He reached for his chair and sank into it, rubbing his face with both hands before looking at her again. “You thought?” He exhaled. “You thought she was bluffing?” He shook his head in disbelief. “And now, what do you think will happen next? Hm? Do you think Izzy’s going to let this go?”
