Chapter 10

Author: Sauerkraut Fish
I had never neglected my studies, yet the years I had missed in hands-on experience had to be made up. My life basically revolved around the dorm, the cafeteria, the library, and the lab.

The juniors who recognized me tactfully avoided bringing up the past, showing me a respect I could never repay. I devoted myself to my work, guiding them whenever I could.

Elisa came looking for me again one night. By the time I left the lab, it was already 2:00 am. Suddenly, she jumped out from the bushes.

  • The Mistress Maxed His Black Card   Chapter 10

    I had never neglected my studies, yet the years I had missed in hands-on experience had to be made up. My life basically revolved around the dorm, the cafeteria, the library, and the lab.The juniors who recognized me tactfully avoided bringing up the past, showing me a respect I could never repay. I devoted myself to my work, guiding them whenever I could.Elisa came looking for me again one night. By the time I left the lab, it was already 2:00 am. Suddenly, she jumped out from the bushes."Anne, please, forgive Eric," she pleaded. "I apologize. My words back then were harsh. If you're willing, both his father and I will allow you to join the family."My heart pounded, and my face went pale. A security guard heard my scream and rushed over."Are you okay?"At the sound of that familiar voice, I looked up instinctively. Eric stood before me in a baggy security uniform, looking exhausted and worn down.Memories of years past surged back—when he was full of ambition and had promi

    Eric's account was brand new, its name just a jumble of random characters. Over ten videos had already been uploaded, and each one was a personal confession from him.Commenters tore into him mercilessly."When Anne devoted herself entirely to you, you were busy with your other woman.""Do you really think faking remorse will earn you anyone's sympathy?"The ever-proud Eric had just finished one part-time shift and was hurrying to the next. On the way, he posted a reply."I truly love Anne. I have to atone for the wrongs I've done."His words immediately provoked anger among people online."What love are you talking about? The love where you and your mistress lived lavishly while she ate scraps?""Or is it the one where you slept on a million-dollar mattress in a mansion while she shivered in a drafty apartment?""If that's what you call love, then congratulations to her for seeing your true face and escaping the misery."Eric recognized his fault and found himself completely

    Tears welled up in Eric's eyes as he continued, "I thought I just couldn't accept rejection when you turned me down, but after I learned about your background, I started to feel sorry for you. That was when I realized that somewhere along the way, I had truly fallen for you. "I admit all my mistakes. You can punish me however you want. Just don't treat me like this. Don't be so cold…"A soft breeze brushed past, and for some reason, memories of the past surfaced again.Back then, we were still in college, and life had not been so difficult.Once, he had forgotten our anniversary, and I pretended to be upset and ignored him.His eyes were red, and fear swirled within them.I forgave him that time.But after all these years, everything had changed.At that thought, I calmly said, "You should know where my bottom line is. I once loved you, so I accepted all that suffering willingly, but now I don't want to anymore. Leave. Don't come looking for me again."A new volunteer had jus

    The first thing that caught his eye was a pinned post titled "Farewell Letter".The video showed an announcement for a flight about to take off.The caption beneath it made Eric freeze."Eric, if loving someone is this hard, then from today on, we will never see each other again," I had written.The belief that he could win me back as long as he lowered his pride was shattered instantly.Panic, fear, and helplessness surged through him all at once.With trembling hands, he tapped into the account tagged in the post.The account, titled "Sue's Love Diary", was filled with evidence of his betrayal.When he saw the verified label marking it as a "couple content creator", a bitter wave of irony swept over him.That explained everything.That was how everything had been exposed.He thought he had covered his tracks perfectly, but he had overlooked one thing—Susan had never been the type to quietly accept being the other woman.His phone rang, and for a brief moment, hope flicker

    What lingered in Eric's fading consciousness was my exhausted whisper from that day. I had asked him, "Are you really with your coworker?"A wave of panic surged through Eric. He gripped his phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He dialed the number he knew by heart, but the call that used to be answered instantly would no longer go through."Eric, what's wrong? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Susan asked with concern, noticing how pale he had become.If this had been before, he would have dragged her onto the bed and claimed her without hesitation. But now, regret hit him without warning. He staggered to his feet and headed for the door, shaking off the hand clinging to his arm. "We shouldn't see each other anymore," he said.No matter how Susan chased after him or demanded answers, he did not respond with another word.Eric called Joe. "Prepare 9,999 red roses for me, and buy out all the fireworks you can find," he ordered.During the four-hour flight at an alt

  • The Mistress Maxed His Black Card   Chapter 5

    Eric took Susan on a trip. Just before boarding the plane, he checked his phone and found no new messages. A surprising wave of relief swept over him.Five years of lies had kept him tense at all times. He was constantly afraid that even the smallest slip might expose him.Back then, he had lost a game, and his friends dared him to act broke and try to win over a random young woman from a game. They laughed and said, "Mr. Sterling, you're out of cash. You'd never be able to get someone like Anne."Then, he had drawn the paper with the name "Anne Emerson."Even though he could have enjoyed a life of luxury, that random draw from years ago had set a chain in motion he could never undo. Perhaps being away from this kind of normal life for so long made Susan's endless chatter feel even more lively on the trip.When Eric saw her bright smile and the way she clung to him, he felt a surge of satisfaction. He turned off his phone and stopped Susan from taking any pictures. The instant
