EuropeNovelChapter 96 Isadora had been the one to chase after him from the very beginning.
A woman as beautiful as her, pouring her tand affection into him, always there to keep him company, making it clear he was the only one in her heart-Magnus had never found a reason to say no.
Somewhere along the line, he'd simply grown used to having her around.
But then, things changed. Isadora wasn't always gentle. When she got jealous, she'd argue. When things didn't go her way, she could be downright difficult.
That's when Magnus started to feel restless and annoyed.
He never thought for a second that the problem might be with him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, what man doesn't want a girlfriend who's understanding and sweet? Who would choose a woman who argues and refuses to listen? Sammy watched him brood and changed tack.
"So, do you love Elise?" he asked.
Magnus replied, "She's important to me." Sammy rolled his eyes and tried again. "If Elise gets better and decides to leave you one day, would you let her go?" "I've always hoped she'd recover and live her own life," Magnus answered. Sammy finally understood.
Magnus loved Isadora. He just couldn't let go of the comfort of being loved so selflessly, so completely, for so long. But when Isadora finally rebelled, when she threatened to walk away and take her love with her, Magnus found he couldn't accept it.
Sammy let out a long sigh. "That's tough. Honestly, I don't think Isadora's coming back." Magnus looked up sharply. "Why not?" He didn't even care about her past anymore.
"How could she not cback? She's lovedfor five years, swore she'd loveforever. She's just angry right now, that's all." He hesitated for a moment. "Is there any way to win her back?" "It won't be easy." Sammy pressed on, "Did anything happen to Isadora when she was kidnapped?" At that, Magnus's grip on his glass tightened so much it shattered in his hand.
His rational side told him that maybe not everything he'd heard was true.
But when he saw the marks on Isadora's skin, he couldn't be sure. Would Isadora really use something like that to get revenge on him? Magnus's expression darkened.
"Just tellhow I can win a woman back." Sammy was speechless. Did Magnus think he was skind of miracle worker? Could he just wave a wand and make a heartbroken woman change her mind? Still, he thought about it seriously for a moment.
"Magnus, maybe you need to try showing a little humility. You've always called the shots in this relationship. Maybe it's tto apologize, to really let your guard down and swallow your pride. Lose that superior attitude- maybe then you'll have a chance." Magnus's steps were unsteady as he staggered out of the private lounge. Sammy moved to help, but Magnus brushed his hand away.
They had barely stepped into the hallway when the elevator doors slid open a short distance away.
Victor emerged with a group of people, exuding confidence and ease. He wore a gray dress shirt, his suit jacket draped casually over one arm-he looked every inch the executive who'd just wrapped up a high-stakes business meeting.
Behind him walked Commissioner Wang from the Department of Homeland Affairs and Director Lawson from the Urban Development Office.
A major new airport was about to break ground on the east side of Capitolion-a landmark project the entire city was watching.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWainwright Holdings and The Fitzgerald Group, two of the top players in the game, were both fiercely competing for the contract.
Magnus, who just moments ago had been lost in a drunken haze, instantly sobered up at the sight of Victor.
Lately, Magnus was busier than ever-not just because he was avoiding Isadora, but because Wainwright Holdings was facing an unprecedented crisis.
In recent months, The Fitzgerald Group had gone all out, launching an aggressive campaign against Wainwright Holdings. There had always been competition between the two, but never this ruthless. One by one, Wainwright's projects were snatched away. The losses were piling up.
Now, seeing Victor stepping out of the elevator with both city officials, Magnus could guess what it meant. the airport project was as good as Victor's.
As if that wasn't enough, he recalled that not long ago, Victor had funneled Victor an $8 billion investment to Isadora.
Magnus's expression grew even darker. Sammy, recognizing Victor-the infamous "prince" of the Fitzgerald family-knew just how cutthroat the rivalry between the two companies had become.
He wanted nothing to do with the and whispered, "Magnus, let's go this way." Magnus's voice was icy. "Move." With that, he straightened up, squared his shoulders, and strode directly toward the elevator.
