| turned to look at him. There was no anger in his eyes anymore, and even the hurt seemed to have faded a
little.
“Really?” If he was willing to talk things through, maybe we could actually end things peacefully, both of us
moving on.
Nathan nodded. “Yeah. Just say whatever's on your mind. I'm here.”
| stared at him, momentarily stunned. There was a strange, almost crazy calmness about him right now.
“What I'm saying is, you should put your energy into building your company. Once your business really takes off,
maybe you'll meet someone truly special.” | sat back down, sipping my water as | spoke.
“You really think I'll meet someone else?” Nathan asked, taking a sip of his wine, his eyes locked on me.

| nodded. “Of course. Love flows, like water. It never stays the same. Right now, I'm the one you care about, but
your life is long. Who knows who you'll meet down the road? Maybe one day you'll find someone even more
interesting, someone whose soul really matches yours.”
“Yeah, maybe.” Nathan didn’t seem to be taking my words to heart. He just quietly finished his wine and poured
himself another half glass.
I'd tried everything to get him to look forward, to be excited about what the future might bring, but why did he
look so uninterested?
Maybe everything | said was just pointless.
“Nathan, we'll still be friends-and business partners. | really hope you can take your company even further. And
honestly, I've got my own selfish reasons-I want to invest, so I'll be a shareholder. If you make money, | get a cut
too.” | smiled.
“Alright, I'll make sure you don’t lose money.” Nathan nodded. “You'll cto the shareholder meetings, right?”
| nodded. “Of course. I'll be keeping a close watch on everything going on at your company.”
Nathan chuckled. “Maybe you should invest a bit more-then you'll be even more interested in what I'm up to.”
“Where would | get that kind of money?” | let out a bitter laugh.
Nathan looked atsteadily. “I'll give you five percent of my shares.”
“What?” | stared at him in disbelief. “I don’t need that.”
“It’s my decision.” Nathan looked down at his wine glass. “Without you, | wouldn't be where | am now. You're the
reason | made it this far. Honestly, giving you this much doesn’t even feel like enough.”
“Nathan, | never asked for anything in return. | was just being a friend...”
“Even brothers keep things clear when it comes to money. Friends should be the same.” Nathan let out a soft
chuckle. “This is my call, Victoria. Honestly, | always knew we weren't built to last, but | never thought it'd end so
soon. A lot of this
is on me.”

“No, it’s me. | couldn't stay true to us,” | said quietly.

Nathan looked atand gently shook his head. “Back then, | owed the Chancellor family a huge favor. It was
like a fire burning inside me, always makinganxious. Now that debt’s shifted to you, and somehow, | feel a
lot calmer.”
| couldn’t hide my surprise as | looked at him.
Nathan spoke in a low voice, “Is Ryan treating you well?”
I nodded. “Yeah, he is.”
“Mr. Holcomb talked toabout the Jennings family. Victoria, | just think their world is really out of reach-it’s not
easy to get in. Even Mr. Holcomb doesn’t really think you and Ryan will work out.” Nathan worrying about me
and Ryan totally caughtoff guard; it was a little awkward.
But what made it even weirder was the fact that he was discussingand Ryan with Jared in the first place.
Seriously,
don’t they have anything better to do?
“When did you and Jared even start talking about this?” | asked, fixing my eyes on him.
