Chapter21
Unlike Paris’s brilliance, the Swiss hideaway of Eidelsee, remote and costly, lay shrouded year–round in a damp chill.
Alexander Stone lived in a villa by Lake Eidel, a place of breathtaking beauty–yet its vastness felt
suffocating.
Since leaving Africa, he had remained here under the guise of “recuperation.” To the world, he was the picture of success. a titan who had stepped back at the height of his power, finally enjoying life.
Only he knew the truth. This was not rest. It was exile.
He grew unnervingly silent, sometimes going an entire day without speaking a word. Silver crept faster into his hair at the temples, his eyes shadowed with a heaviness that no sleep could erase.
Often, he sat for hours at the lake’s edge, staring at the cold, unbroken surface, gaze hollow, mind
lost to the void.
A finance magazine was usually at his side. More often than not, the cover featured her–Grace Miller. In those glossy spreads she appeared dazzling, radiant, every line of her face etched with
confidence and light.
He would trace her photo with his fingertips, over and over, until the ache in his chest felt like a blunt weapon pounding his heart, suffocating him. Regret clung to him like a parasite, gnawing at
him day and night.
How many times had he replayed the same tormenting thought? If I had looked closer… if I had questioned sooner… if…
But life offered no ifs.
He had commanded unimaginable wealth, wielded unrivaled influence, and yet–he had lost the only woman who had ever loved him truly. The woman who had once saved his life with her own
hands.
What had he given her in return? Nothing but humiliation. Nothing but wounds that cut to the bone.
That truth became his unshakable nightmare.
Occasionally, his aide brought him news of her. Reports that her career soared higher, that she was respected worldwide, that there was now a man at her side worthy of her.

He told himself he should be happy for her. And yet, every confirmation of her happiness- happiness that no longer bore even the faintest tie to him–tore through him like glass, shredding
what little remained of his heart.
Each time, jealousy and despair consumed him whole. Each time, he drowned himself deeper in
solitude.
He withdrew from society completely. No more dinners, no more events. He became a man adrift,
walled off from the world, trapped in the wreckage of his past.
He tried to drown his sins in philanthropy. Through the Stone Global Education & Environment Trust, he poured staggering fortunes into the poorest corners of the earth, raising schools, building clinics, funding water programs.
But every night, when silence fell, the emptiness returned. The regret always found him. It whispered that he could save countless lives, and yet he had forever lost the chance to save his own
soul.
His life stretched ahead, long and empty. But no matter how many years remained, they would all
be overshadowed by one thing. a remorse too heavy to ever lift.
He had gained everything the world envied. And lost the only thing that mattered.
Worse still, he knew the bitter truth–this fate was crafted by his own hand.
Now, when all the brilliance had faded, all that awaited him was boundless loneliness, and endless
repentance.
On opposite ends of the world, two lives unfolded.
Grace Miller walked forward, shedding the scars of her past. She moved forward, the sky above, the ground steady beneath, her own name etched into history. She lived fully, freely, brilliantly—the leading woman of her own story.
Alexander Stone remained behind, shackled to yesterday. He spent every remaining day circling the same fatal mistake, reliving the loss he could never undo. Amid all his fortune and power, he tasted
the most absolute solitude and regret.
Each had found their place.
Each lived with the consequences of their choice’s.
