Chapter 626:
Grayson twisted his entire upper body around in the driver’s seat and glared at her over the console, his eyes burning with dark, chaotic fury. “Do not analyze me,” he snarled, his voice a dangerous, ragged whisper. “Do not act as though you understand the pressure I am under p>
Isolde did not shrink back. She met his furious gaze with absolute zero temperature in her eyes. “I understand that I wasted five years of my life believing you possessed a soul,” she said. “The NDA is a toxic infection in my life. I cannot stand breathing the same air as you, let alone pretending to be your wife p>
Grayson’s chest heaved. The anger in his eyes slowly fractured, revealing a terrifying, desperate panic underneath. He reached out, his hand hovering over the console as though he wanted to grab her arm—then forced himself to pull it back.
“If you drop the forty-eight-hour ultimatum,” he said, his voice dropping into a sickeningly persuasive register even as his eyes remained wide with fear, “if you simply play your part for the next six months, I will instruct my lawyers to concede an additional ten percent of the liquid assets in the final settlement. I will give you the voting shares in the charitable trust. Just give me a way to fix this without Beatrice learning about the divorce papers p>
Isolde looked at him as though he had just offered her a plate of rotting garbage.

“I do not want your money, Grayson,” she said, enunciating every syllable. “I want to be free of you. I want to be so far removed from your toxic, diseased family that I forget what your face looks like p>
The light turned green. A chorus of angry horns erupted from the cars stacked behind them.
Grayson slowly turned back to the wheel. He gripped it until the leather creaked again, then pressed his foot on the accelerator. The car surged forward.
“The original NDA timeline remains in effect,” he said. His voice was completely dead now, stripped of all emotion—not the voice of a dictator, but the hollow sound of a man who had slammed the door on his own cell and swallowed the key. “I cannot let you leave early. I will not. You will remain exactly where you are, because if you walk away now, everything I have built—everything I am—will vanish. I will deal with Beatrice. I will deal with the press. But I will not sign those release papers today p>
He knew he was acting out of a sick, twisted need for control. He knew he was destroying whatever fractional respect she still held for him. But the thought of letting her walk away today—severing the final tie completely—caused a physical pain in his chest that he could not endure.
The Maybach pulled up to the curb outside the Phoenix Aeronautics building.
Isolde did not wait for the car to stop fully. She unbuckled her seatbelt, threw open the door, and stepped out onto the sidewalk. She slammed it shut with all her strength and walked away without looking back.
Grayson sat in the idling car and watched her push through the revolving doors and disappear into the lobby.
