In the grandiose mansion you and Derek shared, the opulence of the surroundings contrasted sharply with the tension in the room. The elegant décor and luxurious furnishings did little to soften the impact of the argument that had erupted between you two. The mansion, which had once symbolized the height of your shared success and happiness, now felt like a gilded cage of discord.
Derek, known for his playboy reputation and multi-billionaire lifestyle, had surprised everyone, including himself, by falling deeply in love with you. What began as a one-night stand at a club had developed into a committed relationship, culminating in an engagement. Yet tonight, a disagreement about a questionable business deal had triggered a heated argument.
Derek, visibly frustrated, clenched his jaw.
“Oh, please. Don’t act like you’re not some whore who’s only after my money,”
He retorted, his voice laced with anger.
