Chapter 9

Author: Autumn Lamb
I followed their orders and did every sickening thing they demanded. I cast aside every shred of my dignity as a man and crawled on the ground like a dog, letting them humiliate and trample me underfoot.

When the police finally smashed through the warehouse doors, I was curled up in a corner. My clothes were shredded, and I looked like something discarded in the trash.

Lindsay rushed over, pulling me into a desperate embrace while sobbing endless apologies. She swore she would take this secre

    The reporters' questions grew increasingly aggressive. "Mr. Ashwood, is it true that Ashwood Group is on the brink of bankruptcy?""Does the theft of the Ark Project mean your cybersecurity defenses have been completely compromised?"I raised my hand, signaling for silence. Behind me, the words "Divine Ark" materialized on the massive screen in bold, commanding typography. Ignoring their barrage of questions, I triggered the demonstration video. It showcased an entirely revolutionary architecture—one that was light-years ahead of the original Ark Project in both complexity and processing power. The room fell deathly quiet, save for a collective gasp of shock echoing through the hall. I picked up the microphone and scanned the room, fixing my gaze directly on the center livestream camera. I knew Lindsay was watching."First, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Ms. Iverson and Starshine Tech for helping us purge a massive volume of obsolete junk code," I said, my

    I followed their orders and did every sickening thing they demanded. I cast aside every shred of my dignity as a man and crawled on the ground like a dog, letting them humiliate and trample me underfoot.When the police finally smashed through the warehouse doors, I was curled up in a corner. My clothes were shredded, and I looked like something discarded in the trash. Lindsay rushed over, pulling me into a desperate embrace while sobbing endless apologies. She swore she would take this secret to her grave, that no one would ever know. She told me that I was her hero, and I believed her.How foolish I was. It turned out I was no hero to her. I was merely tainted—a stain on her pristine life, permanently branded by shame. She felt no gratitude for my sacrifice. Instead, she used it as a convenient excuse to betray me without a trace of guilt, carrying another man's child. And she had the audacity to claim she was doing it for my own good, her tone dripping with unearned benevole

    I shook my head with a scoff. "No thanks. I refuse to beg anyone for anything."My gaze shifted to her slightly rounded stomach, my tone turning icy. "You ought to start accumulating good karma for the baby in your womb before it pays the price for its mother's sins."Elijah, standing right beside her, couldn't hold back any longer. Looking deeply aggrieved, he chimed in, "Even if you hate me, Mr. Ashwood, you shouldn't curse an unborn child… After all, this is Lindy's first baby." He clutched Lindsay's arm protectively, eyes full of performative concern. "Quiet, Eli!" Lindsay cut him off, turning to stare at me with utter disappointment. "When did you become like this, Samuel?" she said, her voice dripping with accusation and pain. "You used to be so gentle, so sensible and mature. How have you degenerated into someone so petty as to curse an innocent child?" She continued, "I got pregnant for your sake, too, you know! Don't you remember? Back then, you sacrificed yourself jus

    James' voice trembled as he spoke. "All the venture capitalists from our Series B round have been blowing up the phones. They said that unless we provide a reasonable explanation immediately, they aren't just withholding their capital—they're pulling out their previous investments entirely."The noise and commotion of the wedding hall seemed to fade instantly, leaving behind nothing but a high-pitched ringing in my ears. "Have we traced the source of the virus?" I asked.James lowered his head, looking utterly defeated. "Our technical team is working around the clock, but we haven't found the entry point yet."There was no point in investigating further. Only one person in the world knew about the backdoor in our codebase, and she was the only one with a reason to burn my life to the ground. The very last sliver of wishful thinking I had harbored in the darkest corner of my heart shattered completely. "Where's Lindsay?" I demanded. James swallowed hard and forced the words o

    The cold, automated voice felt like the ultimate mockery. Lindsay couldn't process it. For seven years, Samuel had kept his phone on 24 hours a day, solely for her—without exception. A wave of suffocating panic washed over her, making it hard to breathe. With trembling fingers, she frantically scrolled through her contacts before stopping at "Mom". That was it—she still had her mother! Her mother adored her and would definitely come to her rescue. When the call finally connected, the festive sound of wedding music drifted through the speaker. "Hello? Lindy?" Her mother, Jennifer Iverson, sounded distant and impatient. "What is it? Don't you know how busy we are today?"Lindsay broke down in tears, her voice trembling with despair. "Mom, where is Samuel? Is he really marrying Stephanie? He's my fiancé! Stop him! Tell him to come get me!" Silence fell over the other end of the line. When Jennifer spoke again, her tone was ice-cold. "You're the one who failed to keep him. Who

    I slowly reached out to shake Stephanie's outstretched hand. It was cool to the touch, yet firm and steady."Pleasure doing business with you."A moment later, my assistant, James Wright, knocked and hurried in. His face was deathly pale."Mr. Ashwood, Ms. Iverson has taken all the core confidential files for the new Ark Project," he reported nervously. My head began to throb violently. The Ark Project was my company's crown jewel. I had staked my entire fortune on it, relying on its launch to secure our next round of financing and take the company public. I dialed Lindsay's number immediately. When she answered, her voice was dripping with smug satisfaction—the thrill of someone who believed she had successfully exacted her revenge. "I've already handed all the project data over to Starshine Tech, free of charge," she announced. Starshine Tech was our fiercest rival. "That's what you get for bullying Eli. Now you know how it feels," she sneered. "Listen closely, Samue
