Seven Years Broken Chapter 11
"I’ll go." I agreed calmly. "Once the time is set, send me the address and the process."The afternoon before the execution, I had the driver stop the car about 200 meters away from the prison gates, and I walked the rest of the way myself.I didn’t even bother combing my hair. I didn’t want to show up looking put-together in front of someone who was about to reach the end of her life.The prison visitation room was bare and cold with gray-white walls and a thick pane of glass dividing the middle, a metal chair on each side.I hadn’t been sitting for long before a guard brought Deanna in.She was nothing like she used to be. Half her hair had turned white. Her cheekbones jutted sharply. The woman who once carried herself with ambition and confidence, climbing higher and higher, was now nothing more than a hollow shell.I said nothing and just looked at her.She stared back at me for a long time."I’m sorry… Corey. I’m so sorry."I know saying this now doesn’t matter, but I sti

"What?"My eyes widened, a chill running through me. I never expected Deanna to do something this extreme."Corey, just forgive me, please…"As she spoke, she suddenly raised the knife and slashed it across her own arm."As long as you forgive me, I’ll do anything. I’ll give you everything the Cunningham family has left. I’ll do whatever you want. Even if it means dying, I will!"She kept talking as she dragged the blade across her arm again and again. Blood poured out, the sight horrifying.No one around us dared to speak. Only the security guards stood nearby, tense, ready to step in at any moment.I watched her spiral into madness.There was no trace of emotion in me, only disgust and a creeping sense of dread.Thankfully, it wasn’t long before the police arrived and took Deanna away.Her case went to trial quickly.The investigation confirmed that she did murder Darren. His body had been hidden in the basement of the Cunningham estate.Her actions constituted intentiona

"Corey, it’s me…"The call was from Deanna. I could tell from her voice that she hadn’t slept all night."I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong…""The Cunninghams can barely hold on anymore. The banks are demanding repayment, and all our partners have pulled out. Can you help me, just this once, for the sake of our seven years together?"I know I hurt you before, but Darren deceived me, too. I didn’t mean for any of this to happen…"Can we start over? I promise I’ll never have anything to do with Darren again. From now on, I won’t even look at another man. I’ll be completely devoted to you, I swear!"I listened to her rambling pleas. There was no pity in me, only endless disgust."Deanna, whatever we had ended a long time ago. I’m not helping you, and there’s no starting over."I hung up without another word and blocked her number.Then I called the legal department."Send the divorce papers to Deanna. Have her sign them. If she refuses, file a lawsuit immediately. I

Deanna’s body trembled. She stared at her stomach as if frozen."The child… isn’t Darren’s? How is that possible?"At her words, Darren’s face shifted in panic. He hurried to defend himself, "Deanna, don’t listen to him! The baby is mine. He’s just trying to drive a wedge between us!"I didn’t spare them another glance. I had no interest in hearing their excuses. I turned and walked straight out of the courtyard.After I left, everything inside descended into chaos.It was as if my words had snapped something in Deanna. All reason left her. She rushed up to Darren and grabbed him."Darren, tell me the truth! Is the baby yours or not? Say it!"Darren winced from her grip, but he still refused to back down. "Deanna, have you lost your mind? Of course, the baby is mine! Corey’s just jealous of us. That’s why he said that!""Jealous?" Deanna let out a cold laugh. "You think I’d still believe you?"No wonder something felt off before. You were always avoiding my calls, always insis

When Deanna saw Darren like that, her heart skipped a beat. She hurried over to steady him."Darren, what’s wrong? What did your dad say?"Darren lifted his head, his voice trembling. "My dad said the company’s about to collapse. The cash flow’s broken, and several major projects have been snatched away. He asked me what I’d been doing out here to cause such a disgrace, dragging the whole family down with me…""He said if I can’t fix this, I shouldn’t even think about coming back to the Blackburns…"The moment Deanna heard that, she panicked completely.Before, she had thought that even without my support, she still had Darren and that the Blackburns would never abandon her.However, now even a company far larger than Cunningham Group like the Blackburn Group was falling apart. In that instant, she realized she might truly be finished.In her desperation, Deanna looked at me again, but this time, her posture was completely lowered."Corey, I was wrong. I lost my mind. I betraye

Phoebe stopped in her tracks. The familiar warmth she once used when addressing Deanna was gone, replaced by open mockery."Deanna, have you ever actually used your brain? Why do you think we’ve given you such favorable terms all these years? Why do you think we were willing to invest in your company when it was just starting out?"She paused, lowering her voice slightly. "You really thought it was because you were that capable or lucky?"Let me tell you the truth. We did it all for Mr. Graham’s sake."Back then, how many calls did Mr. Graham make behind the scenes to help you start your business? How many guarantees did he personally give us? And you didn’t even know?"Without him backing you, your company would’ve collapsed a long time ago!"Her words drained all the color from Deanna’s face."That’s impossible… that can’t be true! The orders I secured back then… I earned those myself. They had nothing to do with Corey.""Nothing to do with him?" Phoebe let out a cold laugh.
