One day, shortly after I had experienced a miscarriage, Alan brought me a bowl of chicken soup—and a divorce agreement. "Sophia's pregnant," he had said. "So let's just leave each other like mature adults do." Chicken soup had never tasted so bitter in my life. I knew Sophia Mason—he had sponsored her education before. She was also the one who caused my miscarriage. I did not cry. I did not throw a fit. I just asked why. He looked relieved. Then, he looked at me blankly. "The truth is I can't stand you over these seven years. Every time we lie together on our bed, I just can't help but be disgusted by what your body has gone through. "I know you suffered that because of me. But I can't do it. I can't stop remembering how defiled it is. "Our kid is gone. We owe each other nothing now—so let's end it here, right now." So that was it, huh? Hilarious. He had no idea who the "defiled" one was—him. Seven years ago, I inserted a memory chip into his brain to save him. And now, in three days' time, the chip will cease to function. He will remember everything… and he will wish he were long dead.

His Death Is Not My Fault Chapter 10
Alan's death had sent ripples through the city. Some mourned him. Others could not resist flaying a man long dead.With all his shares transferred to me, I became CEO and director of Nebula Inc. Every remaining asset and inheritance sparked intense intrigue.Ida and Ethan may have abandoned the pursuit, but Alan's other relatives had not. They demanded cuts for offshore accounts, real estate ventures, and so-called foundations—a sum that quickly reached astronomical proportions.Their reasoning was laughable. I was apparently not entitled to keep the fortune, regardless of my appetite. It seemed no one could.I offered them no personal response. Instead, I hired top-tier lawyers and won case after case. By year's end, every ounce of Alan's wealth had passed into my hands.The memory chip finally launched after extensive refinement. Unlike Alan's prototype, the new version was streamlined and could last up to 20 years. Users who had recovered from their trauma could even deactivate
His Death Is Not My Fault Chapter 9
As usual, I had my people inform Alan about what had happened to Sophia.According to the nurses, not an inch of his body had remained unscathed. They had removed every sharp object from the room, yet he still managed to cut himself with his own rounded nails."The strangest part is that no matter how much he hurt himself, he never did anything truly lethal. The doctor believes he has lost all will to live, except for whatever he is clinging to. He is waiting for something."I knew what that was: me. That was why I had refused to meet him until now. I did not want him to die so easily. I wanted him to watch as I exposed the hypocrisy of his career, his parents, and even the supposedly pure partner he had once been so proud of.Now it had all come to an end. It was time for him to go.…I thought I had prepared myself. But when I saw him after so long, I still could not suppress a sigh of bewilderment.He was emaciated. His once-glossy hair had become unkempt and patchy. Every vi
His Death Is Not My Fault Chapter 8
Sophia had miscarried.Ida faced charges of assault and battery, and Ethan paid a hefty sum to secure her bail.Then, without even visiting Alan in the hospital, they left the country at once. By then, they had already succeeded in conceiving another child through IVF. This new son would replace Alan.They had once believed they could secure Nebula shares for this child. Now, however, their resentment toward Alan ran so deep that they chose abandonment and disownment over any further effort.Sophia barely had time to grieve her lost child. The college moved quickly to terminate her employment.The tabloid reporter she had hired had published a damaging, scandalous article about her, forcing the college to cut its losses.The supervisor ended up in jail. His wife stormed into Sophia's hospital ward and assaulted her in retaliation.…I submitted all the evidence I had gathered to the court and demanded the return of my rightful share of the funds and assets in our joint account.

Sophia froze. "What did you say?"Ida and her husband, Ethan, stared at me, baffled.I had my assistant bring in Alan's latest physical report. It clearly stated that he had been infertile for about seven years.Sophia slapped the report aside. "That's impossible!" she cried, her eyes dropping to my stomach.Panic flashed across her face, then vanished as she seized on a counterargument. "You've recently been pregnant with his baby too, Selena. Or was that someone else's child you've been passing off as his?""No. I'm nothing like you. It was his." I produced another report. "I used sperm I had frozen and stored seven years ago."It had been his last resort. At the time, he had hated every inch of himself. He had seen his own body as something filthy, something steeped in sin.I had hoped that if he could not step out of the shadow of his trauma for his own sake, he might do it for his child. I had thought it might give him hope again.Over the past seven years, he had caused m
