It wasn’t until we were a few blocks away that what he’d said earlier really sank in.
My face started getting hot.
“Killian, what you said back there…”
He looked straight at me, and I could see myself in his eyes.
“Cressida, you’re a total badass in business, but when it comes to relationships, you’re completely dense.”
“But I literally just got divorced. I’m not ready for…”
“Hey, no pressure. I can wait as long as it takes.”
The cool night air came through the window, and I tried to get my heart rate back to normal.
The next time I heard anything about Silas, Vasker Corp had gone bankrupt.
I figured a company that size would at least go down fighting, but losing that North Hills contract was apparently the final blow.
When I saw it on the news, I felt kind of hollow about it.
Then I got this massive wire transfer from some overseas account,
The amount was absolutely ridiculous.
My phone buzzed with a text from a number I didn’t recognize.
*“Cressida, I’m sorry.“*
Turns out Silas had been moving money offshore and wanted to give it all to me.
But Anya was so pissed that Silas had thrown her away, she followed him one day and fucking stabbed him.
Silas’s internal organs got messed up – doctors said he’d never walk again.
Anya went to prison.
After I became Killian’s VP at Drake Corp, I quit to start my own thing.
Killian gave me these ridiculous puppy dog eyes, practically whining.
“Cressida, you’re seriously gonna abandon me to run this place by myself?”
I stared at this guy who was absolutely ruthless in boardrooms.

Chapter 11
“You were doing just fine before I showed up.”
“That’s completely different!”
These days, work was about building something that was mine, not trying to win some man’s approval.
Silas kept trying to get me to visit him in the hospital, but I just shut it down every time.
“There’s no point. We’re both better off moving on…”
