Chapter 10

Penulis: Fall Leaf
The agent's eyes lit up. "No problem! I guarantee it'll be sold within three days!"

Three days later, the house was sold.

I took the money and blocked Karina on every communication platform.

There were more than a thousand photos of us on my phone. I deleted them one by one.

When I reached the last photo, I stopped.

It had been taken at the beach shortly after we got married. She had been smiling so sweetly.

I tapped on the delete button.

Everything was gone.

I moved back in with my pare

  • My Wife's AI Prank Killed Me   Chapter 11

    Time passed quickly.A year later, I moved to another city.It was a coastal city in the south where the air was humid.It was far away from my hometown.I joined a new tech company and continued working as a programmer, but I was no longer the Mike who worked overtime until three in the morning.I signed up for a gym membership.Every day after work, instead of going home and collapsing onto the couch, I went to the gym and ran for an hour.There was something reassuring about the feeling of sweat soaking through my clothes.I picked up reading again. I read everything from technical books to literature.I even started learning to cook, but my cooking wasn't particularly good.When my coworkers invited me to go hiking, I went with them.When they invited me to go sailing on weekends, I went with them too.The man in the mirror was tanner and more muscular.My eyes no longer held the emptiness and exhaustion of my previous life.Tanya video-called me."Mike, you look gre

She had been smiling so sweetly.I tapped on the delete button.Everything was gone.I moved back in with my parents and temporarily shared a room with Tanya.Mom saw how much weight I'd lost, and her eyes welled with tears. "Mike, it's all in the past. We'll find you a better girl."Dad took a puff on his cigarette beside her and sighed. "Consider it a lesson learned."Tanya brought me a bowl of warm soup."Mike, have some soup."You've got me from now on."My nose stung. I accepted the bowl from her.I later went to Harry's hometown, a remote village.His parents were a simple, down-to-earth coup

    After I walked out of the courtroom, Tanya followed me and slipped her arm through mine."Mike, let's go home. Shall we?""No."I turned to the attorney who had been waiting nearby. "Mr. Jackson, I need your help."Draft the divorce petition immediately."Luke Jackson nodded."Don't worry, Mr. Jerome."You're the innocent party, while Karina is clearly at fault for marital infidelity and involvement in criminal activity."My voice was cold. "I only have one request.""Go ahead.""Make sure she leaves with nothing."Luke hesitated. "Legally, she's still entitled to a portion of the marital assets–"I interrupted him. "Then make her pay compensation."Emotional distress, lost wages, and the psychological trauma she caused me."I don't want her to leave with a single dollar.""I understand. I'll do everything I can."Two weeks later, we were in civil court.Karina had hired an attorney as well.She was wearing a faded gray outfit. Her hair was frizzy and dull. She was cl

    Karina’s plea was what finally pushed things over the edge.Harry, meanwhile, believed Karina was trying to dump all the blame on him.Meanwhile, the police found a pair of brake-line cutters in Harry's toolbox, and the tool marks matched perfectly.To make matters worse, technicians recovered several deleted chat messages from Harry's cloud storage.They had been sent by Karina.[He seems to be getting suspicious of me. What should I do?][Let's just do it. Follow your plan. Once he's dead, everything will be wiped clean.]Harry completely lost it when he saw Karina's messages.He could no longer keep up his so-called amnesia act."I'll confess!" He roared in the interrogation room."I did it! I cut the brakes! But Karina isn't getting away either! She was the one who urged me to do it!"When Karina learned that Harry had confessed and that the police had recovered her messages, she knew it was over.To save herself, she immediately turned on him."It was him! He's the ma

    Harry lay in the intensive care unit for three days.When he finally woke up, the news the police brought me wasn't good."Mr. Jerome, Harry suffered a brain injury and is temporarily suffering from amnesia."He claims he doesn't remember anything related to the brakes."The evidence makes him a primary person of interest, but without a statement from him—and with Karina continuing to deny any involvement—the investigation has reached an impasse."'Amnesia?'What a convenient way to escape responsibility.Even the universe seemed to be helping him.I walked out of the police station. The sky was gloomy.'If you won't talk, then I'll speak for you.'I walked into an internet cafe and rented a private room.I compiled everything I had into one file, including the AI-generated homeless-man video Karina had sent me, the video I'd recorded when I caught them cheating, and high-resolution photos of the severed brake line.There were also screenshots from the surveillance footage

    The interrogation room was lit with a harsh white light."Mr. Jerome, please tell us exactly what happened."I carefully recounted everything that had happened that night, from Karina's AI-generated video to the moment I realized something was wrong and didn't go home.I then told him how I went to the parking garage and discovered that the brake line had been cut."Why did you let Harry drive the car after you reported the incident?" the officer asked sharply."I reported it to put it on record. I let him drive it to obtain evidence."My answer was airtight."I suspected he was the one who tampered with the brakes. Once he drove the car away, he would be caught red-handed."If I hadn't let him drive it, he could have claimed I was framing him. Now we have both the man and the car. He can't deny it."I've submitted my previous police report, as well as the surveillance footage from my company's parking garage."The surveillance footage was retrieved.On the screen, a man wea
