A photograph of Alexander and Victoria appeared online.

Then a story claiming Evelyn had secretly stolen millions from her husband's company.
The media exploded.
Reporters gathered outside the Whitmore building.
Evelyn's name became a headline.
Her face appeared beside words like GREED, BETRAYAL, and BILLIONAIRE DIVORCE.

His silence was even louder.
Evelyn returned to the penthouse only once.
She packed a suitcase.
Alexander watched from the hallway.
"You don't have to leave."
She looked at him.
"You've already replaced me."
"That's not what this is."
"Then what is it?"
Alexander had no answer.
Evelyn removed her wedding ring.
She placed it on the table.
"You believed her without asking me one question."
Then she walked away.
Alexander watched the elevator doors close.
