Chapter 8

Author: Codfish
Over the phone, Howard was still going on.

"Guess what Lucas' response to that was? He stared at the magazine cover so intently, with his eyes all red. His hands also started shaking as badly as a Parkinson's patient! In the end, he didn't even make a peep, simply left with the magazine we had stomped all over, looking like an abandoned dog.

"Anyway, Mr. Luther, don't you worry. I've already warned him not to bother Ms. Simmon, or I'll be the first to hunt him down!"

  • After His "Bro" Took My Bed, I Filed Divorce #99   Chapter 11

    Howard likely believed that if I hadn't suddenly stepped in as chairman, he could have kept leeching off the company.Frankly, that was a ridiculous way of thinking.The security guards reacted quickly, letting go of Lucas to stop Howard.However, it was too late. The knife was already far too close, barely three feet away from stabbing into my eye. I could even smell the stench wafting from his unwashed body. It was utterly revolting, as though he hadn't showered in days.At that critical moment, a figure abruptly leaped up from the floor.It was Lucas. He scrambled over and threw his almost skeletal body across mine.A squelch rang out, the sound of something stabbing into flesh.Time seemed to come to a stop as a warm liquid splattered onto my face.Meanwhile, Howard was pinned to the floor by the security guards, who had jumped onto him. Nonetheless, he was still cursing up a storm.Lucas slid down my body, slowly, oh so slowly.I instinctively reached out to grab him, st

    When Lucas saw me, he fell to his knees with a thump, his lips trembling."Natania…" he began in a hoarse voice. "Please save my mom. She has a serious illness and desperately needs a surgery that will cost a substantial sum…"A substantial sum, huh? I wondered if the starting funds I had given him years ago for his company counted as a substantial sum.Instead of giving him an answer, I walked over to sit on the couch, daintily crossing my legs.He shuffled toward me, still on his knees, and reached out to touch the hem of my pants. However, he shrank back at the last moment, as though afraid that his filthy hand would stain the expensive fabric."I know what I did was inhumane and that I wronged you in countless ways. You can ask me to do anything, be anything—even a dog—as long as you're willing to lend me the money…"Tears and snot mixed into a disgusting mess on his face. Lucas Gardner, the man who was once filled with spirit and vigor, who once scorned me for being unable t

    "Do you not understand what I mean?" My tone became significantly colder. "Throw that out, along with yourself."Immediately, Lucas' face drained of all color. He grabbed the plastic bag, squeezing it so tightly that his knuckles were white, before turning around and jerkily throwing it into the larger black trash bag he held. It was as though he were tossing out that last bit of laughably pitiful hope he had.…The weather grew colder over the next few days, and I ended up catching a slight cold. After coughing a little during a meeting, Jeremy was so anxious that he instantly sent my secretary out to get me some imported lozenges and ginger tea.After the meeting, I had only just returned to my office when I spotted Lucas lingering outside the glass door while clutching a box of cold medicine.He didn't dare knock on the door, so he simply stood there and gazed through the glass at me with a pleading expression.Furrowing my brows, I pressed the button for my intercom."Tell t

I've already warned him not to bother Ms. Simmon, or I'll be the first to hunt him down!"After Jeremy ended the call, the amusement that had been on his face from our earlier banter had faded significantly. He then turned to face me, his expression somewhat complicated."Tania…"He rarely addressed me like that in the company."It's all in the past now," I said calmly, tossing the magazine in the trash.Jeremy nodded, not saying another word.When it was time to get off of work, Jeremy and I entered the elevator together.In one corner of the elevator stood a man in a janitor's uniform, his head bowed

    I suddenly recalled something rather funny."By the way, last time, one of Lucas' buddies, Howard Kinger, told me a secret in an attempt to curry my favor. Apparently, for the incident where Lucas stuck his hand down Winona's pants, it wasn't actually a real cockroach in her pocket, but a toy she had put in herself. It was all an act to gross me out."I still remember how Lucas had praised her at the time for not making a fuss and being like a real man. His lousy friends had been beyond delighted."I laughed softly, both at the circus of clowns that were Lucas and his friends, and at myself for being so blinded by my love back then.After hanging up, I tossed all these complicated emotions to the back of my mind.However, a few days later, a letter from prison abruptly appeared on my desk.There was no sender name, and the address had been written in a crooked manner that screamed of despair.I sliced the envelope open with a letter knife, but instead of a long letter crammed fu

    After the visit, my lawyer reported to me, "Mr. Gardner lost his mind when he saw the compensation amount. He refuses to believe it, repeatedly saying that you'll definitely visit him, that you'll forgive him."I felt nothing but amusement when I heard this.The lawyer paused briefly before adding, "By the way, Ms. Winona Langdon has pinned all responsibility and blame on him in her bid to absolve herself of all crimes. She provided the police with substantial evidence to prove that she had been a victim all along and that she had been kept in the dark about things. She even forged chat records that showed he had been manipulating and gaslighting her for years."Not a single emotion stirred in me as I listened to his report.Everyone had turned their backs on Lucas, even those he held most dear, and he had lost everything. I could already imagine the sheer despair on Lucas' face when he heard all this in the detention center.How wonderful. This was only what he deserved.Endin
