“You said Sterling Capital guaranteed our expansion.”
Dominic looked completely lost.
“They did.”
“No,” I said quietly.
“They guaranteed it for me.”
He slowly turned toward me.
“What?”
I met his eyes for the first time since he chose another family over ours.
“My last name isn’t Bennett.”
Silence.
“My last name is Sterling.”
Chloe’s phone slipped from her hand and shattered against the marble floor.
The woman beside Dominic took one step away from him.
“What is she talking about?”
I looked at Dominic.
“You told everyone you built this company yourself.”
“You let them believe your success came from your brilliance.”
“You never once wondered why banks approved loans your balance sheets couldn’t justify.”
His face went pale.
“No…”
I nodded.
“My brothers did.”
“The investors trusted one thing.”
