Chapter 7 - Adrian Publicly Walked Away From His Family Name—Then Evelyn Did Something That Brought Him BackAdrian resigned from the Moretti organization.
He announced that the criminal network was finished.
The legitimate businesses would remain.
The rest would disappear.
Reporters surrounded them.
One asked Evelyn,
“Did you forgive your husband?”
She looked at Adrian.
Then at Isabella.
“I didn't forgive him all at once.”
She smiled.
“He earned it.”
Another asked Adrian,
“Why did you destroy your own empire?”
He answered without hesitation.
“Because an empire that requires your wife to be afraid of you is not worth keeping.”
The quote went viral.
For the first time, the Moretti name was associated with reform instead of fear.
Evelyn became the chairwoman of the legitimate company.
Adrian became chief operating officer.
They worked side by side.
Not as king and queen.
As partners.
Three years later, another baby was born.
A son.
They named him Samuel.
After Evelyn's father.
Adrian held him.
“She would hate the name.”
Evelyn laughed.
“Probably.”
