One month after Katherine left.
I have been living alone in our apartment, and it's been empty, quiet, and unbearable.
Every room reminded me of her. Her coffee mug in the kitchen, her books on the shelf, and her scent, which still lingered on the pillows.
I should move out, find somewhere new, and start fresh.
But I couldn't. This apartment is the last piece of her I have.
Work was the only distraction as I worked eighteen hours a day, seven days a week.
Bella was already worried. "You're going to burn out." She said one day
"This is better than thinking about her."
"Tony-"
"I'm fine, Bella. Just focused on business."
But we both knew I was lying.
Marvin Industries was thriving.
We purchased a new hotel in Miami. The grand opening was scheduled for next month.
Another entertainment complex was acquired in Vegas. This was us breaking ground in two weeks.
The stock prices were at record highs, and the board members have been ecstatic.
