She Crashed and Burned Without Me Chapter 12
Catherine's POVHe was gone.The man who had loved me for ten years and once protected me with everything he had was gone from my life.In this familiar little taco shop, he had once looked at me and promised to devote his life to me. Back then, I truly believed that with him by my side, I could spend my whole life in happiness.Only now did I realize how long a lifetime really was. In just ten years, I had lost him with my own hands.I let out a shaky sigh."I really thought you two would make it," the owner said softly as he came over to clear the dishes.I couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears spilled down my face as I choked back sobs and looked at the middle-aged man who had witnessed our decade together. "I really want to start over with him. Why can't he give me just one more chance?"The owner shook his head helplessly. "Miss, I don't know what happened between you two, but he was right. Some things can be made right, but once certain people or moments are lost, they're go

I nodded. "Probably, but it doesn't matter to me anymore."Catherine bit her lip and shook her head. "No, that's not it. Back then, I only thought he had an overseas background and could bring better opportunities to the company. I never expected that…"She broke off, clutching her hair with both hands in pain. "You're right. I didn't grow at all over those ten years. Instead, I lost myself completely under your protection. I was so easily provoked and deceived by a few words from him that I ended up destroying the company you built with your own hands."I was taken aback. I never expected there to be another layer of truth behind what happened back then. But now, none of it mattered anymore.When I didn't respond, she continued, "Do you remember that time you fought more than a dozen thugs to protect me?"How could I forget? These days, I got out of breath doing even a bit of physical work, all because of that incident. Sanders Technology was able to survive afterward only beca

Before I knew it, the year was coming to an end. Work at the company was overwhelming. I didn't clock out until after midnight, and on a sudden craving, I found myself wanting tacos from Earlton. I got in my car and drove over.The shop was small, tucked away in a narrow alley. Thanks to its great food, it was popular with nearby office workers and always stayed open late into the night.The moment I walked in, the owner greeted me with a warm smile. "It's been almost a year since I last saw you. Has work been keeping you busy?"I suddenly remembered that I used to come here often with Catherine. After we parted ways, I never returned. In the blink of an eye, a full year had passed.I smiled lightly. "Yeah, the usual. Seafood tacos, please."I had visited this place so often in the past that returning now stirred up old memories.Back then, Catherine and I often worked late into the night. Whenever we got hungry, we would come here for tacos, then head back to the office to conti

It would have been fine if she hadn't brought up the past, but the moment she did, my blood boiled."You know I poured ten years of my heart and soul into Sanders Technology. You know I fought for it because I loved you, but how did you repay me? At the IPO, you let your first love take my place. You even joined him in humiliating me and drove me out of the company," I said, smiling bitterly."Yes, I know you never once admitted your feelings, and maybe I read too much into things. But did it ever occur to you how cruel it is to hurt someone who loved you with everything? Your old flame ruins the company and disappears, and now you suddenly think of me? Catherine, what do you take me for? When your first love returned, you shoved me aside, and when he left, you ran back to me. Don't you find that disgusting?"Catherine finally broke. She threw her arms around me from behind and sobbed uncontrollably. "I'm sorry. I was wrong, but it's not what you think. I just—"I shoved her off ha

After I hung up, I sat there in silence.When I found out the IPO had failed, I had already anticipated this outcome. I was the type who would give everything for love and tear down any obstacle for the person I cared about.For all these years, my devotion to Catherine had driven me to do everything for her. She had always been a distant, hands-off boss, and every bit of her so-called success had come from the work I quietly carried out behind the scenes.Without me, Catherine was still that orphaned girl who stood terrified before the debt collectors ten years ago.If Benedict had any real talent, that would have been one thing. However, he was nothing more than dead weight. If Sanders Technology continued to let him run things, bankruptcy was only a matter of time.The thought that the company I had spent ten years building would eventually collapse filled me with grief and frustration. I just never expected that day to come so quickly.One month later, news broke online that

Sanders Technology and Veridian Technology were both in the business of online operations and marketing. Along with two other companies, we had been invited by the client to present our proposals and compete in person.In the elevator, I ran into Catherine, whom I hadn't seen in six months. She was still beautiful, but the stress and exhaustion were clear on her face. Benedict followed closely behind her. When he saw me, he frowned slightly.Catherine's face was unreadable. She opened her mouth as if to say something, then thought better of it and let out a small sigh.When Catherine had almost humiliated me and driven me out of Sanders Technology, I thought I would hate her if we ever met again. However, that hatred never came.My feelings were a mess I couldn't sort through. I had no answer for why I couldn't hate her. All I could feel was the cruel irony of fate. The woman I had once promised myself I would guard for a lifetime now stood against me.Unsurprisingly, Sanders Tech
