CHAPTER 4: HE CAME FOR HER
558 Words
Nguyen Group was in chaos.
Phones kept ringing.
Voices overlapped.
“President Nguyen, the stock is dropping.”
“We are losing control.”
“Several investors are pulling out.”
No one could stay calm.
Only one person stood still.
Nguyen Khang.
His face was cold.
But his eyes had changed.
“Who did this?” he asked.
The assistant hesitated.
Then answered quietly.
“Miss Linh.”
Silence filled the room.
Khang let out a short, cold laugh.
“The same Linh who stayed in my house for three years?”
No one answered.
But everyone knew it was true.
“Prepare the car,” Khang said.
“I’m going to see her.”
The black car stopped in front of the Tran mansion.
Khang stepped out.
He looked at the place carefully.
Grand and untouchable.
So this was where she came from.
And he had never known.
Inside the mansion, Linh sat calmly on the sofa.
A tablet rested in her hand.
Numbers moved across the screen.
Nguyen Group shares were falling.
Everything was going exactly as she planned.
“Miss,” Uncle Tran said, “he is here.”
Linh did not look up.
“Let him wait.”
Time passed slowly.
Ten minutes.
Then twenty.
Outside, Khang stood still.
His expression grew colder.
No one had ever made him wait like this.
But today, he waited.
“Let him in,” Linh said at last.
Khang walked into the hall.
His steps were steady.
His gaze was sharp.
Then he saw her.
Linh sat there, calm and elegant.
As if she had always belonged here.
As if the past three years meant nothing.
“Linh.”
He called her name.
Linh looked up.
“President Nguyen.”
Her tone was polite and distant.
Khang frowned.
“So it was you.”
Linh tilted her head slightly.
“I don’t understand.”
“Stop pretending,” he said.
“You attacked my company.”
Linh smiled faintly.
“Your company?”
She stood up and walked toward him.
Slow and confident.
“Are you sure it is still yours?”
Khang’s expression darkened.
“Enough.”
He stepped closer.
“End this.”
It sounded like an order.
Linh stopped right in front of him.
Close enough to see the change in his eyes.
“Why?” she asked softly.
The question caught him off guard.
For a moment, he had no answer.
“You signed the divorce,” Linh said.
Her voice was calm.
“You chose to end everything.”
She paused briefly.
“So now, I am choosing too.”
Khang clenched his fist.
“This is not the same.”
“It is exactly the same.”
Her tone turned colder.
“You used your power to control me.”
“You ignored me.”
“You replaced me.”
Each word was clear and sharp.
“I am only returning what you gave me.”
Silence filled the hall.
Khang could not deny it.
Linh stepped back.
The distance between them returned.
“President Nguyen,” she said calmly,
“If you cannot afford to lose, then you should not have started.”
Khang stared at her.
Something inside him shifted.
For the first time, he realized what he had lost.
Completely.
For the first time, he felt regret.
