I was packing the remnants of the wedding dress into my suitcase when it started to rain.
Good.
That way, no one would see my tears.
I didn't remember how I got from the bridal shop to the hotel.
My father called to tell me the full withdrawal of investments was underway.
Six months at most, and Delgado Corp would cease to exist.
When he saw the gauze on my head and the rainwater still dripping from my hair, my father's eyes filled with tears.
"I'll make that bastard crawl to you on his knees right now!"
I shook my head weakly, but my voice was steel.
"No, Dad. It's not time yet."
Just a few months ago, doctors had discovered that Stewart's sperm was abnormal, making it nearly impossible for him to father a child.
Was Vivian really carrying Stewart's baby?
After that, the fever hit.
I drifted in and out of a haze, but my phone kept buzzing with Stewart's calls, one after another.
I didn't have the strength to deal with him. I turned my phone off.
But then came the sound of fists hammering the door. "Leonora! Don't think I don't know you're in there. Get out here!"
The next second, the hotel room door was kicked open.
