At that moment he paused briefly, letting his words hang heavy in the air, then pressed on, "I built it to the point that it became a global brand. ZXZ wasn't just another company, it became very, very big and successful. People respected the name, and they respected me for it. And then, all of a sudden, everything changed. Abigail, do you know what she did? She found her courage, but not in a good way. She grew a knife behind my back. She betrayed me and snatched it."
His jaw tightened as the bitterness laced his tone. "She brought in an investor. A slick, manipulative investor who slid a clause into the deal I signed. I didn't even know it was there. I was blind to it. That tiny clause was the weapon she used against me. It gave her the power to take ZXZ away from me. And with that, Abigail she bullied me. She bullied me to collect it. Forcibly. Without mercy. She took what was mine."
