She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1132

It was better this way... This was the only possible ending for them.

They were over.

Everett let his shoulders slump, exhaling a massive, heavy breath. He didn't have to fake it anymore. He didn't have to carry that exhausting weight.

He tilted his head back and closed his eyes. He was finally free.

At the Eclipse Noir Club.

Daphne had locked herself in her room, sobbing until her lungs burned. She couldn't catch her breath.

Everything finally made sense. That was why he had invited her to a fancy steakhouse. Why he had dressed in a suit. And why he had given her the priceless Vermilion Coral Suite.

It was his parting gift. A severance package.

And she had actually been naive enough to think he was going to propose. Daphne laughed through her tears.

She cried for the absolute joke her first real relationship had become—something she had poured her heart and soul into, ending in total humiliation. She laughed at her own stupidity, for not even noticing that he had just been tolerating her the entire time.

"I'm such an idiot!" she sobbed, a hysterical mix of tears and laughter. Thankfully, she was alone in her bedroom; anyone else would have thought she was a complete psycho.

Outside, the city's glittering lights slowly gave way to the quiet of the night.

Everett tossed and turned in bed. He couldn't sleep. He had officially ended things with Daphne. He thought the breakup would finally bring him peace of mind and a good night's rest.

Instead... he was more wide awake than ever.

He sat up several times, grabbing his phone, inches away from sending her a text. He was worried. He was terrified she might do something reckless.

But... he had just brutally dumped her. Reaching out to her this soon felt like a terrible idea.

What if she thought he was second-guessing his decision?
