LOGINMy fiancé’s childhood sweetheart Vivian knew about my deadly asthma. She secretly mixed strong liquor into my drink. Fire poured down my throat. Then, my airway clamped shut. Panic hit me. My hands shook as I dug out my emergency inhaler. But the spray hitting my lungs wasn't medicine. It was strong mint spray. She had swapped it. The second I inhaled, my airways slammed shut. Lack of oxygen drained my strength. I collapsed onto the floor, pathetic and weak. "Aria, this is mint spray I specially prepared for you. It can give you an effective energy boost." Vivian said, rushing over with a look of innocent concern. She crossed her arms, her possessive eyes locked onto my fiancé—Silas Thorne, the CEO of Thorne Group. "Silas, is Aria practicing for a play? I've been a top private doctor for years. I've never seen anyone react to mint spray that strongly." I bit my inner cheek hard. The taste of blood filled my mouth. Cold sweat stung my eyes. I gripped Silas’s pant leg tight. "Please... Silas... ambulance... I can't breathe..." Real panic flashed in his deep eyes for a second. He leaned forward instinctively. But the mocking voices from the executives around us stopped him cold. "Come on, stop pretending! Nobody dies from a bit of beverage and mint spray." "Yeah, she's just throwing a tantrum. Vivian was appointed as the Chief Medical Officer of Thorne Group today, and Aria is clearly jealous." Silas’s jaw tightened. He forced down the worry in his eyes. He ruthlessly pulled his leg away from my twitching fingers, taking a cold step back. "Vivian is a doctor. With her here, you won't die." I stopped begging. I used my last breath to text my father,the President of the Federation.

Ignoring the bloody cuts from the shards, he kicked Vivian flying. Vivian slammed hard into the wall, but she lunged again like a maniac, clutching the poisoned needle. The figure didn't dodge at all. He threw his broad back over me, shielding me completely. The toxic needle sank deep into his back. The eerie blue poison was pushed straight into him. In the final second before the anesthesia took me under, I saw his face pouring with cold sweat as the toxin took hold. It was Silas. Agents stormed in and pinned Vivian to the floor. Black blood was already oozing from Silas's lips. But he didn't cry out. He didn't struggle. He just gave my unconscious face a relieved smile. As if taking that needle for me was the greatest redemption of his life. When I woke up again, the ten-hour lung repair surgery was dec
"Is he crazy?" I didn't even look up, flipping to the next page of next season's couture sketches. The Commander grimly handed me his tactical tablet. On the screen, Silas was pinned to the floor outside the OR by heavily armed agents. The once-untouchable business emperor was covered in mud. After days of his empire crumbling and starving himself, he was nothing but skin and bones. But his bloodshot eyes were locked on my room. He had abandoned every ounce of pride and dignity a billionaire CEO had. His only sick obsession was to see me before my surgery. Even if it meant kneeling at my feet with zero dignity, crying and begging for forgiveness. My father sat by my bed. He took a slow sip of his black coffee. "He's your ex. You decide what to do with him." I lazily flipped to the next design. "Leave him there." The Commander blinked in surprise. "Lock him in the family observation room outside the OR," I ordered coldly. "I want him behind that bulletproof glass, watching me
Hearing my emotionless verdict, Silas looked like his spine had been ripped out. He stood frozen in the middle of the wreckage. Those deep, arrogant eyes were now overflowing with disbelief, horror, and despair. He finally understood I wasn't just throwing a tantrum. I really didn't want him anymore. Outside, the heavy rumble of military-grade armored SUVs echoed. Red and blue police lights pierced the night. My father carried me securely into the spacious armored car. He coldly ordered the rest of the people to be handed over to the FBI. "No! Aria!" Silas rushed the car like a madman. Click. The agents instantly formed an unbreakable human wall. Tactical stun guns aimed right at his chest. "Step back, Mr. Thorne," the Secret Service Director warned coldly. "Take one more step, and we will treat you as a lethal threat and put you down." Silas completely ignored the deadly weapons. Through the heavy wall of agents, he roared at me with bloodshot eyes. "Aria, please! Don't go
Vivian collapsed into the broken ice on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. "Mr. President, please have mercy!" She cried beautifully, still putting on her sickening innocent act. "I swear I just grabbed the wrong medicine! I was only trying to help as a doctor!" My father brushed invisible dust off his coat. His voice was flat and deadly. "Help? Then I'll return the favor." He turned his head slightly. "Have the Medical Board revoke her license. Call the IRS. Seize her family's hospitals. By sunrise, I want them drowning in debt. Erase them." Those casual words were more lethal than any bullet. Vivian turned pale as a ghost. To a vain woman like her, losing her family wealth was worse than death. She crawled toward Silas and hugged his legs tight. "Silas, save me! I swear I didn't know Aria had respiratory failure! He's bluffing!" she shrieked, lying through her teeth. Silas frowned hard. Even faced with hard facts, he actually seemed to be weighing her lie. I watched the man I
