I slide my phone back into my pocket after ending the call with Chloe. Victory tastes sweet, even sweeter than I expected. Noah Lancaster is completely broken, his marriage destroyed, his dignity shattered.
"Ready to head home, Mr. Donovan?" My driver asks as I settle into the backseat of the Mercedes.
"Actually, let's stop by the club first. I feel like celebrating."
The city blurs past the tinted windows. I can't stop replaying Chloe's words. Noah looked destroyed. Pathetic. Exactly what he deserved for thinking he could humiliate me at my own wedding.
My phone buzzes with notifications. Social media posts about the wedding disaster are still circulating, but now the narrative has shifted. Everyone's talking about how quickly Chloe moved on, how she chose power over poverty. The Donovan name is being restored.
I pull out my tablet and open a mobile game. Something mindless to pass the time while I savor this moment. Chloe should be here soon to celebrate properly.
