Chapter 15 Serena froze , eyes welling , then spun and fled the room in tears . Sebastian slumped back in the chair , pain gnawing at both his stomach and his chest , sharp enough to make breathing difficult . Once again , he needed an urgent file - and once again , he couldn't find it anywhere . Serena had volunteered to " help " organize his study , but instead had turned it into an even bigger mess . The key documents were nowhere to be found . Sebastian's patience snapped . Serena sobbed . " I just wanted to help ... all those files looked the same to me , so I just sorted them by color ... " Sebastian's vision went red . In a flash of fury , he ripped open a bottom drawer of the desk - the one he had barely touched in years . It had once belonged to Vivienne . The drawer was nearly bare - just a single , hand - bound notebook lay inside . He grabbed it , intending to toss it aside , but it flipped open in his hands . What he saw stopped him cold . It was an extremely detailed , professional filing and document management system - complete with labels , categories , retrieval methods , and even notes about which documents were linked to which projects and key personnel . Margins were filled with neat little annotations , marking priority levels and special reminders . This system had clearly been in use for years , meticulously maintained and updated . And suddenly , Sebastian understood why , for three years , he could always find any file in minutes - he had never done that himself , nor had Harrison . It was Vivienne . Always Vivienne . His fingers trembled violently as he clutched the notebook . The woman he had dismissed so thoroughly had been quietly holding his world together all along and he had never even thought to ask . A few days later , at a Global Business Forum , he unexpectedly ran into a long - time rival . The man , usually arrogant , was surprisingly cordial , even speaking with a note of respect . " Mr. Langford , my condolences . I must say , your late wife was extraordinary . That supplementary proposal she sent during the Green Energy Project ... it saved us from a disaster and pushed the deal across the finish line . A true loss . " Sebastian froze on the spot , struck as if by lightning . Green Energy Project ? Vivienne's proposal ? He had never heard of this . That project had gone smoothly , and he had chalked it up to his team's competence . He immediately ordered Harrison to investigate . When the results came back , his blood turned to ice . The anonymous email sent to the partner company - the one that had pinpointed the flaw and offered the perfect solution - had been traced back to Langford Manor .

She had done it - flat on her back in a hospital bed . Why ? Why had she never told him ? Was it fear ? Or had she simply known he wouldn't care - that he wouldn't believe her even if she did ? Memory shards came crashing down like a storm surge : Her hesitant eyes , her quiet presence in the study , the untouched soup that had grown cold , the perfectly ordered files he never noticed , the pale face she showed him after the 199th " accident " ... And just like that , the wall he had built inside himself came crumbling down . Not guilt . Not mere regret . But raw , soul - splitting remorse . Crushing , suffocating , soul - rending remorse . The woman he had discarded , broken , and driven to the brink had been silently woven into every corner of his life - holding up everything he had taken for granted . And he had destroyed her with his own hands- in the cruelest way imaginable .
