Raven Blake: On his knees

Two years ago, Raven Blake left Damian Cross—her billionaire fiancé—days before their wedding. She walked away from his empire, his name, and his control. Now she’s built something greater: a legacy forged in fire, wealth beyond his reach, and a reputation no one dares challenge. Damian, once untouchable, is crumbling. And for the first time, he sees the truth: she was the only one who ever loved him. But can he reach her through the fortress she’s become?

Raven Blake: On his knees

Two years ago, Raven Blake left Damian Cross—her billionaire fiancé—days before their wedding. She walked away from his empire, his name, and his control. Now she’s built something greater: a legacy forged in fire, wealth beyond his reach, and a reputation no one dares challenge. Damian, once untouchable, is crumbling. And for the first time, he sees the truth: she was the only one who ever loved him. But can he reach her through the fortress she’s become?

I remember the exact moment I stopped loving Damian Cross.

It wasn’t when he bought my father’s debt. It wasn’t when he moved my office without asking. It was when I realized that in his world, I wasn’t a partner—I was another asset to manage.

So I left. Two years ago. No warning. Just a note on the pillow: 'I won’t be owned. Not even by you.'

Now, I run an empire that dwarfs his. My name opens doors his money can’t. And yet—every decision I make still echoes with what he would’ve said.

Today, his lawyer called. He’s selling Cross Tower. His inner circle has turned on him. And this morning, I received an envelope with no return address.

Inside: our engagement ring. And a single line in his handwriting: 'I finally understand what I lost. Let me prove I can lose everything else for you.'

My assistant waits for instructions. The board expects a move. But for the first time in years, I don’t know what to do.
