The billionaire held the old ring like it was burning him.
His voice cracked.
“Tell me her name…”
The girl hesitated.
“Her name was Elena…”
The billionaire froze completely.
A memory shattered through him—years ago, a love he abandoned to protect his empire… or so he believed.
He stood up abruptly.
“Where is she now?”
The girl lowered her head.
“She’s gone… but she told me you would recognize the ring.”
Silence.
Then the billionaire turned sharply to his bodyguard.
“Prepare the car. Now.”
The guests watched as the most powerful man in the room suddenly looked destroyed.
But as he reached the exit—
The girl’s voice stopped him.
“There’s something else she never told you…”
He turned slowly.
Her eyes were full of tears.
“She didn’t die because of illness…”
A pause.
Then the final words shattered everything:
“She was taken… the night she tried to come back to you.”
The billionaire’s face changed completely.
From shock… to rage.
To pure horror.
And in that moment—
He whispered:
“Then I will burn the world to find who did this.”
