Chapter 76

• The morning after their explosive argument, Ivy remained locked away in her room, unable to face Victor. The weight of his anger still lingered, her heart heavy with hurt.
• Downstairs, Victor paced the penthouse, his regret growing with each passing hour. He knew he'd lashed out unfairly, his demons using Ivy as a scapegoat.
• As the day dragged on, Victor's anxiety intensified. He waited, hoping Ivy would emerge from her self-imposed exile, giving him a chance to apologize.
