It didn’t matter if Simon wasn’t the head of the Romero family, or if he never made it to the very top. All Tammy ever wanted was for them to live safely and stay together.
She knew when to stop. The road ahead could still be bright.
But in the end, his ambition outweighed his love for her.
He used their engagement party as a final chance, one last desperate gamble.
The moment he said he wanted to call off the engagement, she knew that was as far as they could go.
“Thank you, but I don’t need it anymore.”
Since Simon was the first to let go, she wasn’t going to turn back either.
She never blamed anyone. In a world this twisted, fighting to the death was inevitable.
If she had to blame something, she’d blame fate—because when they met, he wasn’t just any Simon; he was Simon of the Romeros.
Later, Claudia heard that Tammy had gone abroad alone for further studies and eventually settled overseas.
Claudia felt sorry for them, but she didn’t pity them.
Back then, Simon had kidnapped her because he wanted Sterling dead.
Their strength and will to fight back had always been their greatest strengths–and the reason for their downfall.
To protect the ones they loved, neither of them ever gave the other a chance to strike.
Maybe if one of them had been a little weaker, things wouldn’t have turned out so cruel.

But at the end of his life, seeing his family torn apart and the clan in ruins, he felt nothing but emptiness. Tears streamed down his wrinkled face.
He once thought Fiona killing Leon, and the conflict between his sons, were the biggest tragedy of his life.
He didn’t know worse was still to come.
Knowing his time was short, Donovan gathered all the Romeros and the lawyers, forcing the family to divide its wealth and influence once and for all.
It wasn’t just separating the branches–it was a clean cut. Except for Sterling’s line, everyone else was completely severed from the main family business.
The Romeros were finished.
From now on, the Romeros would only belong to Sterling.
Lying in his hospital bed, Donovan looked at the grandson he was most proud of. “From here on, let them make their own way. What I’m leaving behind is enough to keep them
comfortable for generations. If any elder comes asking for help, don’t bother with old ties. Tell them this was my order.”
“Okay,” Sterling said quietly, not arguing.
He knew that in a way, Donovan’s decision was meant to protect the others.
But he had already avenged Isabella. There was no need to destroy what was left.
Donovan had always seen him as a successful product, not a grandson to love. But still, he owed his life to him.
He didn’t mind granting Donovan’s final wish.
“Good.” Relieved by his answer, Donovan smiled weakly.
