THE GRACE WE GIVE 💎✨ / Chapter 4 / 10

Chapter 4 - The Shadow of RevengeBy the following morning, the video of Celeste Sterling being dumped at her own engagement party after demanding a maid kiss her shoes went viral across every news outlet and social media platform in the country.

BREAKING NEWS: BILLIONAIRE DANIEL WHITMORE BREAKS ENGAGEMENT AFTER FIANCÉE HUMILIATES SERVER.

The public backlash against the Sterling family was swift and catastrophic. Stock prices for Sterling Global dropped twelve percent in a single morning, and charity boards quietly removed Celeste’s name from their donor lists.

Inside the Sterling family penthouse, Celeste sat in her silk robe, her face red with tears, smashing a crystal vase against the wall.

Her father, Arthur Sterling—a powerful, ruthless real estate developer—stood by the window, holding a glass of scotch.

“He humiliated our family, Father!” Celeste wept hysterically. “He chose a worthless maid over me!”

Arthur’s eyes narrowed into cold slits. “Daniel Whitmore thinks he’s untouchable because his tech firm is going public next month. He forgets that Sterling Global holds the thirty-million-dollar land lease on his primary server headquarters in Chicago.”

By the time he reached the final lines, the most feared Mafia boss in Chicago was standing beneath the hospital lights with shaking hands and tears streaming down his face.

Celeste looked up, wiping her tears. “Can we revoke the lease?”

“We can do better than that,” Arthur smiled dangerously. “I’m calling a special meeting with Whitmore Tech’s minority investors tomorrow. We’re going to buy out his debt, crash his IPO, and leave Daniel Whitmore with nothing—just like his little maid friend.”

On the third night after my car accident, I lay perfectly still in a hospital bed, pretending I still hadn’t regained consciousness. I wanted to know whether my husband of seven years would stay if I became a burden—but then I heard him ask my doctor, “When can you remove her oxygen?” and suddenly I was terrified of the man sleeping beside me every night.
