Chapter 15 - A True Partner
Elena’s life continued to ascend like a shooting star.
Her father's cybersecurity firm was bought out for hundreds of millions.
She was promoted to Senior Vice President of her own tech company.
She bought a beautiful vacation home in Italy and traveled constantly.
She started dating a wonderful man named David, a pediatrician who valued her brilliance.
He didn't care about her money; he was already successful on his own.
He treated her with the kindness and respect she had always deserved.
David would bring her coffee, not to manipulate her, but because he loved her.
Elena rarely thought about Marcus or the terrifying day after her wedding.
When she did, it was only as a lesson in trusting her instincts.
She had learned that a strong woman doesn't need to tolerate disrespect for the sake of a title.
Her father, Richard, was incredibly proud of the woman she had become.
"You proved that our family bows to no one," Richard told her at a dinner party.
