He’s following through, divesting himself of this company he’s had for years. For her.

She likes to see him squirm. “God knows you have put me through it,” she says.

“Fair enough,” he agrees. He can’t expect her to believe he’d change overnight. He gets a text and seems shocked.

He gets on a call and learns someone else, not Victoria, bought his debt. He wonders to Ashley who it could be. She laughs.

He can tell she’s enjoying this. She admits she bought his debt. “I own you. I’m not going to make it easy for you.”
