One of his hands gripped her head, forcing her to lean closer to him. His voice was laced with menace. "Listen to me. I'm the only one who decides when you leave! If you dare to act all high and mighty in front of me again, I'll ensure your magazine goes bankrupt!"

"You're crazy! The only thing you're good at is exploiting people's weaknesses!" she spat, her head forced back, her hair aching under the pressure of his large hand.
He hated the contempt in her eyes—it drove him mad with rage.
Ethan's face darkened.
