"I know I really messed up, but I swear I didn't mean to make your mom die. Larry totally fooled me. I'm only human, and everyone makes mistakes. Sure, I did something wrong, but you should at least give me the chance to make it right, shouldn't you?" Joanna pleaded."How can you just cut me out of your life without giving me a shot at redemption? For the sake of our five years together, can't we just let the past go and start over?"I pushed her away, my face blank. "We already broke up, Joanna. There's nothing left between us. And the past isn't something you can just erase. There's a life between us now, a death that will always be there. Thinking we can start over is nothing but a stupid fantasy. I've made myself very clear. Stop harassing me."But Joanna still wouldn't give up. "No, we can start over. I know you still care about me. Why else would you still be single? You just can't move on from me!"I was speechless and about to say something when a clear female voice sounded

Joanna's knees scraped open on impact. She shot the Johnsons a frosty look, rage boiling over as she snapped, "You pushed me? Your whole damn family's a bunch of ungrateful snakes!"All these years, for every holiday, I've been buying you top-shelf cigarettes and liquor, sending jewelry and supplements to your house like they were free. And now you're ganging up on me? Aren't you the least bit ashamed?"I found it almost funny.Joanna had been willing to blow that much money on the Johnsons, but she wouldn't even buy Mom a simple gold bracelet. She'd even grabbed the last bit of money that could've saved Mom's life.She called them ungrateful snakes, but honestly, how was she any better?On camera, Mrs. Johnson spat at Joanna. "Say one more word, and I'll rip your tongue out! You call us ungrateful, but do you think you're some saint? Callum and his mother treated you so well, and you stabbed them in the back. Not only did you betray Callum, but you couldn't even be bothered to sa

The second Larry said that, the livestream chat exploded on me."Dude's so jealous he's cursing his own mom? What is wrong with him?""He doesn't even count as human. He's straight-up garbage!"Larry had always been good at making me look like the bad guy. It was the same story as always—he twisted everything around, and with Joanna blindly taking his side, he usually got away with it.Sure enough, egged on by him, Joanna stared into the camera, disappointment written all over her face. "Callum, you've really crossed the line this time."Larry was practically glowing with glee at her reaction. He thought this would be just like every other time—me getting trampled while he sat back and enjoyed the show.But this time, I wouldn't let him succeed.I said coolly, "Slow down, Joanna. There are two presents. At least look at the other one before you say anything else."At that, she reached into the box and picked up the recorder.Something clearly clicked for Larry. He had a bad fe

My coworkers all stared at me like they were watching a live soap opera, clearly shocked that I was Joanna's actual boyfriend.I just coolly commented in the stream chat. [Joanna, I've already gone abroad and decided to settle overseas. I'm never going back for the rest of my life. Give it up.]Joanna lit up when she first saw my message, but the color drained from her face once she read it carefully. She immediately sent me a request to join the livestream and blurted out, "What? You left the country? When did that happen? You haven't even resigned yet. How did you manage to get a visa?"Leaving the country without a visa is illegal! Book a flight home right now. For old times' sake, I can pretend this never happened and not report you. Otherwise…"This time, before she could launch another threat, I cut her off with a sneer. "Otherwise what? You can't threaten me anymore, Joanna. I resigned a month ago."She froze for a moment, then quickly looked toward the HR staff offstage. H

I hadn't forgotten how Joanna and Larry had caused Mom's death. There was no direct evidence that Larry had murdered her, so the police were never able to open a case. But I never forgot they were the ones who'd driven her to her death.Now that they were married and even streaming the wedding live for everyone to see, I had to send them a wedding gift.With that thought, I took half a day off and headed out.When I got back to my apartment, I put Mom's autopsy report and the recording I'd saved of Larry taunting me into a gift box and mailed it to Joanna.I'd had the presence of mind to keep a recorder on me the whole time when I'd gone in to resign. I'd wanted to cover my bases, just in case. I hadn't expected to accidentally catch Larry's little victory speech on tape.I was really looking forward to seeing how Joanna reacted when she got the present.…Two days later, Joanna and Larry held their wedding, streaming the whole thing live.The venue was packed. All my former co

A vague sense of dread started to creep into Joanna's chest. However, she pushed it away almost immediately and shook her head."He can't have. Callum loves me more than life itself. He was willing to throw away his future and jump through a hundred impossible hoops just to marry me. No way he'd walk out on me."What she didn't know was that the day Mom died, I'd stopped loving her and decided to let her go."He's just mad and hiding out somewhere. He can hide all he wants—I'll still be able to track him down."Joanna called her bodyguards and told them to tear the whole city apart if they had to, as long as they found Mom and me.Off to the side, Larry's eyes darted around, clearly scheming. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and he tugged on her sleeve. He said, "Jo, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Just pretend to have a wedding with me and stream it live. Callum's insanely jealous. If he sees the livestream, there's a good chance he'll lose it and show up."Joanna
