Chapter 7 - THE APOLOGY MONEY CANNOT BUYMarcus approached Elena slowly.
She stepped backward.
That single movement destroyed him.
“Elena…”
“Don't touch me.”
He stopped.
“I was wrong.”
“You hit me.”
“I know.”
“You believed her without asking me one question.”
Marcus lowered his eyes.
There was no defense.
No excuse.
He dropped to his knees.
Not as a billionaire.
Not as her employer.
As a father who had failed the woman who saved his child.
“I will spend the rest of my life regretting that.”
Elena looked down at him.
“You can't buy forgiveness.”
“I know.”
“I don't want money.”
“I know.”
“I don't want this job.”
That hurt more.
Marcus looked up.
Elena removed the Vance household pin from her soaked uniform.
She placed it on the table.
“I quit.”
Then she walked away.

Marcus didn't stop her.
Because for the first time in his life, he understood that loving someone sometimes meant respecting their decision to leave.
