Chapter 4
Meanwhile, in the opulent top–floor office of the Colon Group, located in Zwingenrath’s most luxurious building, Walter stood with his back to the panoramic glass windows that offered a view of skyscrapers and sprawling bridges.
His assistant, Vemon Ford, was updating him on recent events, handing back a credit card and keys that Clara had returned.
At the same time, Walter’s phone pinged with a new message from a second–hand store, indicating over a million dollars received for sold clothes and jewelry.
Walter’s eyes narrowed as he snapped the credit card in half and demanded, “She moved out already?”
Vernon stuttered, “Mr. Colon, perhaps you should see for yourself. I–I’m at a loss for words.”
Walter frowned, thinking. So she left, what’s there to see?”
Yet, he felt a strange pull towards the villa.
The moment Walter opened the door, even he, typically indifferent, was taken aback
The villa had been restored to its original, empty showroom state,
Clara had transformed this space into a home over three years, adding warm–toned curtains, meticulously chosen paintings, and quaint decorations,
with fresh flowers in every corner.
But now, all traces of her presence were erased, as if she had never lived there at all.
‘Is this her loud and clear message? She wants nothing from me, making a clean break? How dare she!‘ Walter thought, his fists clenched and lips pursed in a cold fury.
Vemon, always mindful of Walter’s mood, tentatively asked, “Mr. Colon, what shall we do with the villa?”
“Take it,” Walter said coldly, leaving without a backward glance.
Vernon stood agape, his mind racing. “This villa, in the city center, worth tens of millions, just given to me? How could I accept this?
Glancing back at the villa, Vernon couldn’t help but worry about Clara.
Having been with Mr. Colon for many years, Vernon was well aware of his character, Walter’s need for control was intense; he hated when others interfered with his possessions. He was dominant and authoritarian, never tolerating challenges or dissent.
“What’s going to happen to Clara now? Vernon wondered.
