Betrayed Before the Vows Chapter 12
The towering glass structure that once bore the name Thorne Industries was covered in massive sheets of white fabric. Cranes hummed in the morning air, and the sound of heavy metal being dismantled echoed through the streets of the financial district. For the public, it was a corporate restructuring. For William, it was the sound of his soul being shredded.William stood on the opposite sidewalk, blending into the crowd of morning commuters. He was unrecognizable. The man who used to wear three-thousand-dollar Italian suits was now draped in a cheap, neon-yellow safety vest over a faded flannel shirt. His hands, once soft and manicured, were calloused and stained with grease.He had taken a job with a local contractor, moving crates and clearing debris at a construction site three blocks away. It was backbreaking work that left him too exhausted to think, which was exactly what he wanted. If he stopped moving, the memories would catch up to him.He watched as a massive crane lowered t

The lights of the international airport shimmered like diamonds against the night sky, but to Serena, every flash felt like a prying eye. She hurried through the business class departure terminal, dragging her Louis Vuitton suitcase with her chin held high. Behind her oversized designer sunglasses, her eyes darted restlessly, scanning every corner.She had done it. Three million dollars sat securely in offshore accounts, and the Aero turbine secrets had been sold to Julian Vane. She felt not a shred of guilt leaving the crumbling wreck that was William. To her, William was merely a stepping stone that had finally cracked, and she was far too clever to sink with him."Flight to Zurich is opening soon," she muttered, checking the monitor.Zurich was a fresh start. There, she would be a top-tier socialite, far from the shadow of the "boring" Camelia and the suffocating emotional demands of William. She reached into her bag for her passport and boarding pass.However, as she reached the d

The executive suite of Thorne Industries, once a symbol of power and prestige, now felt like a mausoleum. William sat behind his desk, the air thick with the smell of stale cigarettes and expensive scotch. The silence was absolute, save for the rhythmic ticking of a grandfather clock that seemed to be counting down the seconds until his total collapse. He hadn't showered in two days; his designer suit was rumpled, and a thick stubble darkened his hollow cheeks.His phone buzzed on the mahogany surface. It was Marcus, calling from the lobby."Sir, the forensic IT team has finished their audit of the central server. They... they found something you need to see. It’s not about the code."William’s heart skipped a beat. "Bring it up. Now."Minutes later, Marcus entered, clutching a tablet. He looked as though he wanted to be anywhere else in the world. He placed the device in front of William, his eyes downcast. "We were looking for the 'Master Key' trail, but we stumbled upon a series of

The azure sky over the Balinese coast that morning was far brighter than the tinted glass of the skyscrapers in the capital. Camelia took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of sea salt and jasmine mingling with the warm tropical air. In her hand, a tablet displayed the stock chart for Thorne Industries, which continued its sharp, agonizing dive.She didn’t smile. She didn’t feel sad either. Those emotions had died in that hotel corridor. What remained now was a cold, calculated clarity.Camelia sipped her black coffee, unsweetened. She sat on the terrace of a private villa she had purchased years ago under the name of her most loyal personal assistant—a middle-aged woman named Maya, whom she regarded more as a mother figure than an employee. For the past five years, Camelia hadn't just been working for William; she had been quietly weaving her own safety net. She was no naive woman who would surrender her entire life into one basket, no matter how sincere her love had once been."Madam

The glass doors of the headquarters, which usually felt like the entrance to a kingdom William ruled with an iron fist, now felt like the jaws of a trap. As he stepped into the lobby, the atmosphere was thick with a tension he had never experienced before. Usually, his employees moved with a synchronized efficiency, but today, they huddled in small groups, whispering frantically. The moment they saw him, the silence that followed was even more deafening than the gossip.William didn't stop to acknowledge anyone. He headed straight for the executive elevator, his jaw clenched so tightly it ached.When the doors opened on the top floor, his assistant, Marcus, was already waiting, looking like he hadn’t slept in forty-eight hours. His tie was loose, and his eyes were bloodshot."Sir, thank God you’re here," Marcus said, his voice cracking. "The situation at the factory has escalated. It wasn’t just a calibration error. It’s a systemic failure. The software update Madam was supposed to au

The morning sun streaming through the penthouse windows usually brought warmth, but for William, that light now felt like the harsh glare of an interrogation lamp. He woke up with a pounding headache. Years of habit took over his subconscious; he reached for the side of the bed, expecting to find the glass of water and the vitamin tablet Camelia always prepared whenever he came home stressed or exhausted.Instead, his hand only brushed against cold, disheveled sheets.Beside him, Serena was still fast asleep. Her blonde hair was scattered across the pillow, and her makeup, which she hadn't removed the night before, left dark smudges under her eyes. No water. No vitamins. No aroma of steaming coffee wafting from the kitchen.William let out a long sigh, trying to stave off the emptiness beginning to gnaw at his chest. He got up and walked to the kitchen. The sight there made him even more nauseous. The sink was piled high with dirty glasses from the wine bottles they had emptied last n
