Part 3: The Fall of an Empire
After the hospital, everything changed.
My father began investigating Ethan’s company. Very quickly, we discovered many illegal things: financial fraud, dangerous materials used in construction, and secret accounts abroad.
Little by little, the truth began to come out.
Journalists started asking questions. The company’s stock dropped. Investors began losing confidence.
Meanwhile, I played my role.
I pretended to forgive Ethan. He believed I was weak and that I was trying to save our marriage.
But in reality, I was collecting evidence.
Everything exploded during his father’s birthday party.
In front of all their partners and friends, the evidence was revealed: fake building plans, hidden accounts, and fraud.
The police and investigators arrived shortly after.
Hayes Construction collapsed.
Ethan lost his position, his reputation, and almost everything he owned.
That night, I understood something important.
Kindness is not weakness.
And sometimes, justice simply arrives at the right moment.
Since that day, I kept my name.
