CHAPTER 4 — THE WOMAN WHO DISAPPEARED

At 9:47 a.m., Ethan finally called her.

Straight to voicemail.

Again.

Voicemail.

Again.

Nothing.

The Beverly Hills mansion was empty when he arrived.

Not abandoned.

Erased.

Her closet: empty.

Her side of the bed: untouched.

Her presence: professionally removed.

On the marble kitchen counter, only one thing remained.

A printed copy of the hotel photo.

And beneath it, a single line written in clean black ink:

“You taught me how easily reputation can be built.”

“So I learned how easily it can be destroyed.”

Ethan stood there longer than he should have.

For the first time, he wasn’t thinking like a CEO.

He was thinking like a man who had lost a war before realizing it had started.
