CHAPTER 4: THE BILLIONAIRE’S UNEXPECTED OFFER
The next morning, Emily returned to work.
She expected nothing.
Maybe a thank you.
Maybe a small tip.
Instead, Alexander Blackwood walked into the restaurant.
Everyone stopped.
He placed an envelope on the counter.
Emily looked inside.
Her eyes widened.
"No."
Alexander frowned.
"No?"
"I helped your son because he needed help."
She pushed the envelope back.
"I don't want money."
For the first time in years, Alexander didn't know what to say.
People always wanted something from him.
Money.
Contracts.
Connections.
Power.
But Emily wanted nothing.
"Then tell me what you want."
Emily looked at him.
"Make sure your son grows up knowing someone listened to him."
Those words stayed with Alexander.
Because after Isabella died...
He had buried himself in work.
He had hired people.
Paid people.

But he had forgotten the one thing his son needed.
A father.
