Five years ago, when my boyfriend's small company was on the brink of bankruptcy I stepped in to save him, quietly supporting him from the shadows. Without revealing my identity, I became the company’s largest shareholder. Five years later, the night before his company was set to go public, he held me in his arms and said, "Emma, after the company goes public tomorrow, don’t leave. I have a surprise for you." At that moment, I was swept away by the idea of his "surprise," my mind racing with the hopeful thought that he might propose. I didn’t notice the cold glint of malice lurking in his eyes. The next day, as his company went public, he slapped me across the face and sneered, "Do you even see what kind of person you are? Did you really think someone like you could marry me?" He grabbed me by the hair and dragged both me and my best friend in front of a crowd of thugs and beggars he’d gathered. “These worthless cast-offs aren’t good enough for me anymore. Consider them my gift to you. Do whatever you like with them!”

Chapter 1

After the company’s listing ceremony ended, I sat in the VIP section, waiting for Jasper Lowe to come find me.

My best friend, Yvonne Cook, suddenly gasped in surprise.

"Emma, why are there so many beggars and thugs all of a sudden?"

Following her gaze, I looked over. At some point, a group of thugs and beggars had swarmed into the hotel venue. The doors and windows of the hotel were also completely sealed, though I hadn’t noticed when that happened.

Yvonne anxiously asked, "Emma, what’s going on? It looks like they’re coming straight for us."

As the group of thugs and beggars slowly advanced toward us, I quickly turned my head, scanning the area. When I looked up, my eyes met a familiar gaze not far away.

Jasper stood there with his assistant, smiling as he watched us.

The moment I saw the smile on his face, my heart skipped a beat. A terrible sense of foreboding crept over me.

"Jasper Lowe! What are you doing just standing there? Get over here and get us out of here!"

Yvonne had spotted him too and called out to him urgently. The moment her voice faded, Jasper’s smile disappeared. With a casual wave of his hand, he issued an order to the thugs and beggars.

His lips parted, and he calmly uttered, "Do whatever you want with these two women within the next thirty minutes."

As his words fell, the group of thugs and beggars charged at us like madmen.

Yvonne and I screamed in terror, clinging to each other as we tried to escape. But before we could get far, we were overwhelmed by the thugs and beggars swarming from all directions, forcing us to the ground.

Clutching Yvonne tightly, I refused to let go. Their filthy hands kept tugging at us, relentless and unyielding.

Then came a ripping sound—Yvonne’s dress had been torn apart.

The sound acted like an adrenaline shot, driving the mob into an even greater frenzy.

As we were on the verge of being dragged apart, Yvonne sobbed into my ear, "Emma, has Jasper gone mad? Why isn’t he saving us?"

Her words struck me, and I suddenly remembered what Jasper told me the night before.

“Emma, don’t leave after the company goes public tomorrow. I have a surprise for you,” he’d said with a smile.

I was lost in the thought of his so-called surprise, foolishly wondering if he might propose. I had ignored the malice and calculation buried deep in his eyes.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this was the "surprise" he had in store.

Just as despair began to consume me, Jasper’s voice cut through the chaos.

"Stand down!"

The filthy hands stopped, retreating as though commanded.

I opened my eyes and saw Jasper’s familiar yet disturbingly unfamiliar face.

He was crouched before me, looking down with a cold gaze.

In a daze, I choked out, "Is this... the surprise you mentioned yesterday?"

Jasper nodded, a cold smile curling on his lips. "Emma, you didn’t seriously think the surprise I mentioned was marrying you, did you?" he asked mockingly. I froze, stunned by his words. Why shouldn’t I think that? Five years ago, when his company was on the brink of collapse and near bankruptcy, he’d been consumed by despair, taking out his frustration on me night after night. It became unbearable, both to witness and endure. Desperate, I asked Yvonne to step in and secretly inject funds into his company, pulling it back from the edge of ruin. After that, I went even further, begging my brother to provide covert support. Thanks to these efforts, his company began to thrive, growing over the next five years into the publicly listed enterprise it was today. I gave so much to him. Why wouldn’t I believe he intended to marry me? "Emma..." Yvonne’s pained voice snapped me back to reality. I turned to her and was met with a horrifying sight. Her arm hung limply at her

A share transfer agreement. So, he knew all along that I was the one who helped his company survive its darkest hour. Back when I provided the funding to keep his failing company afloat, I’d considered telling him the truth. But his pride, coupled with the fact that my family would never approve of us if he didn’t establish a career of his own, held me back. That was why I chose to help him in secret. Yet, even knowing I was the one who saved him, he still did this. All that I had done for him—everything I sacrificed—was twisted into some kind of scheme in his eyes. Jasper’s voice broke through my thoughts. "Emma, be a good girl and sign it!" His bloodshot eyes bore into mine, cold and predatory, like a starving wolf guarding its meal. But all I felt was a bitter urge to laugh. I was laughing at myself for being blind to his true nature and laughing at him for his shortsightedness. He thought Yvonne was about to reveal something about the shares. What he didn’t know

Blood. It was everywhere. Yvonne lay on the ground like a discarded, torn plastic bag. Her pale, rigid face was devoid of life, and her once beautiful eyes were now just two hollow, bloodied sockets. Her body was shattered beyond recognition. I held her in my arms, collapsing into the empty room. Blood poured endlessly from her wounds, pooling around us. Her body, hollowed out and weightless, felt unnervingly light in my embrace. "Yvonne, wake up... please, wake up. I was wrong. I should’ve listened to you and broken up with Jasper long ago. This is my fault. I dragged you into this..."I know I was wrong. Please, wake up, okay? Didn’t we say we’d go on that trip next month? If you’re not there, who’s going to stop me from getting duped by another man? You know how clueless I am!" I kept talking to her, over and over, hoping against hope she’d suddenly glare at me with her familiar exasperation and scold me for being a hopeless romantic. But she didn’t respond. She would

Hearing my words, Jasper froze for a moment, stunned. But the very next second, his hand shot out, grabbing me by the throat. His bloodshot eyes glared into mine as he snarled, "You're the Wynn family heiress? I've been with you for five years, and I never knew. You lying bitch. You still think you can fool me?" He tightened his grip, his rage seething. "Do you even know what Winston said to me? "He told me you’re a diamond, and I’m nothing but dirt—that I’ll never be good enough for you! That’s when I realized the truth. He wants you for himself! I’ll never forget the way he looked at me when he said it!”Just as I was about to pass out, Jasper released me, throwing me to the floor like a rag doll. His voice was cold, dripping with malice. "Emma, you have two choices now. "One: end up like Yvonne. I’ll gut you just like her. You’ve already signed the organ donation agreement, so no one will hold me accountable."Two: cooperate with me. Sweet-talk Winston, keep him happy an

Before Jasper could finish speaking, my brother swung a fierce punch at his face and roared, “What did you do to my sister?”Jasper’s expression was one of utter shock, his eyes nearly popping out. His face turned pale, then darkened. It took him a long while before he stammered, trembling, “S-she’s your sister?”My brother shot him a deadly glare and rushed over to untie me. I burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably while pointing at Jasper to accuse him. “Call the police! Jasper killed Yvonne!”My brother frowned deeply. “What on earth happened?”Suddenly, Jasper grabbed a chair from the room and swung it toward my brother’s head, his expression twisted with rage as he shouted, “If that’s the case, why don’t you all just die!”The chair was solid wood—if it hit my brother, even if he didn’t die, he’d be seriously injured. Without thinking, I shoved my brother out of the way. The chair struck my shoulder with brutal force. Pain surged through me, blinding and overwhelming, and withi

The coroner stood to the side and said, “The autopsy report is ready. The cause of death was the removal of her heart, which led to cardiac failure. In addition, her corneas, kidneys, and other organs were also taken. The police recovered all of them, and the doctors and buyers involved have been arrested.”It wasn’t until I saw Yvonne lying there, peaceful and whole, that reality finally hit me. I could no longer deceive myself. Yvonne was really gone. The friend who had grown up with me, who had been my constant companion, would never return.This time, though, I didn’t let myself break down into helpless sobbing. I wiped my tears and said, “Since the evidence has been secured, when can we hold her funeral?”The coroner glanced at the doctor beside him, who replied, “As long as you have the family’s authorization, you can proceed at any time.”With my mom and brother supporting me on either side, they looked worried as I swayed on my feet, ready to collapse. My brother said anxious

From the fact that he only sent two people to abduct me, it was clear he was running out of money. Back then, just to make me sign the transfer agreement, he brought in dozens of beggars and an endless entourage of bodyguards and doctors. But now, he had only a handful of people by his side. It seemed my words had hit a sore spot. Jasper grabbed me by the neck, his expression fierce as he snarled, “So what? If I can’t escape, I’ll kill you first. Having a rich girl like you as my burial companion doesn’t sound like a bad deal!”Choking under his grip, I coughed but refused to back down. “You wouldn’t dare die. If you wanted to kill me, you’d have done so already. You’re keeping me alive because you want to use me as leverage for ransom or a way out. If I die, what bargaining chip will you have to negotiate with my family?”Just as I felt I was on the verge of suffocation, he released me. Frustration and anger twisted his face as he glared at me. “Emma, you didn’t used to be like thi

I watched as Jasper's expression gradually turned to despair. Taking my time, I dragged a chair over and sat in front of him, saying, “Do you think you were the one who sent people to capture me? Actually, I came to find you on my own terms. Surprised? Back at my house, I already bought off your two bodyguards.”Jasper panted heavily, suddenly putting on a pitiful expression. “Emma, I don’t want to go to prison. I really love you. Don’t you remember how much we used to love each other?”I ignored his words and spoke to myself. “I’ve thought about this for a long time. Sending you straight to prison feels too easy. You know as well as I do that from capturing you to carrying out your execution could take years. So instead of letting someone else catch you, I wanted to do it myself.”I picked up the watch lying on the ground and glanced at it. “Actually, I lied to them. This is a tracker, but I intentionally delayed the signal by half an hour. The police won’t be here in three minutes.”

So, what if Jasper were to die? His death could never bring Yvonne back.The police and the Wynn family’s men arrived to clean up the aftermath, and afterward, my brother gave me a stern lecture. “If you wanted to deal with him, there’d be plenty of chances once he was in prison. Why did you take such a huge risk? What if he’d really lost it and decided to take you down with him?”I shook my head. “How long would it have taken to catch him? I had no choice but to use myself as bait. Otherwise, if he’d made up his mind to escape abroad, it would’ve been even harder to track him down.”My brother still wanted to scold me, but I could feel my eyes reddening. Even though Jasper was finally captured, my hatred hadn’t diminished in the slightest. “Every time I close my eyes, all I see is Yvonne’s bloodied face and the way she died so tragically. If I hadn’t tortured Jasper myself, I wouldn’t have been able to sleep. Besides, letting him die so easily would’ve been far too kind.”I took a d
