Third person POV
Dario, Harper's ex-husband, stumbled back home after yet another night of drinking and trying to distract himself from his problems.
But those problems were closing in on him fast. He had just received word that one of his associates, who had been arrested by the police, was preparing to make a major plea bargain.
Meanwhile, Funny Corporation, once a giant, was now crumbling into shadows, its pillars of power collapsing as the investigations advanced.
That being said, the men who truly controlled everything had swiftly erased their tracks. After all, they were powerful—untouchable.
And what did they do for Dario? Nothing. They didn't even pay him what he was owed for the last month. He had been discarded like an annoying inconvenience.
For a long time, Dario had deluded himself with the fantasy of being a king. He truly believed he was part of that untouchable elite. He even thought he had built genuine bonds with those men.
