Your Company, Not My Life Chapter 12
Derrick froze.I pressed the phone into his hand."Once we're back together, Vantrel becomes ours. So protecting what's rightfully ours—what's there to hesitate about?"He still didn't press it. "Molly's still young. Even if she didn't do much, she tried. She worked hard."I scoffed. "And what about me? The crap I went through, everything I lost—does that just not count? And she's still out there. How am I supposed to believe you won't get dragged back into her mess again?"I leaned in, voice low—like a whisper laced with poison. "Turn her in, and I'll stay. No doubts. No loose ends."He stared at me, eyes wide. For a second, it looked like my words finally broke through.He took a breath, jaw clenched—and hit connect."Hello—"Before the operator could even finish, he hung up and flung the phone aside."No, Yara. Anything else, I'll do it. But not this. That'd destroy her whole life. If she goes to prison, she's done."I smiled.I'd known exactly what he'd choose.I walke

"Why are you here?" I asked, calm, like I was talking to a stranger.And maybe that's what he was now.He seemed to feel it too. His lips pressed into a line before he finally said, "I broke up with Molly. I've thought it through. I'm willing to give up everything and come to Inglane with you."***"I know you're still angry," he kept going. "But I get it now. I was wrong. I'll handle everything back in Arlencia—leave it all behind. We can start fresh."I looked at him—so sure, so determined—and couldn't help laughing. "Handle it how? Or is the company about to go under?"I hadn't kept tabs on Derrick, but a few old coworkers still messaged me now and then.Turned out, not long after I left, the project Molly was running completely imploded. The damages? Huge. Compensation? Massive.Derrick and Molly spent weeks groveling to their partners.Eventually, they got one last shot—but only if they redid the entire project from scratch.Funny enough, that lined up with when Derrick

"Yara, you really got me this time. You should be proud—this is the first time I've ever compromised for a woman. You think I had patience for Molly? Not even a tenth of what I had for you—"He was gearing up to brag again, same old Derrick.I cut him off. "You misunderstood."I picked up the document next to me and held it up to the camera."I immigrated. I'm not coming back."***When I hung up, he just sat there—stunned. Like his brain hadn't caught up yet.The ring box slipped from his hand and hit the floor.But I knew better.He'd catch up soon enough. He always did.He should've seen this coming the second he chose Molly—and turned my life into a nightmare.This time, his theatrics didn't shake me. I left the call behind and threw myself back into research.Maybe he finally got the message, because he stopped trying to win me back.Instead, he went full public with Molly—traveling, showing off, livestreaming their so-called "love."Felt like I was watching two tota

Over time, Derrick's interests shifted like weather.But I only got more obsessed with my research.Even during my years at Vantrel, stuck doing stuff totally unrelated to robotics, I kept up with it on the side. So jumping back in felt easy.Derrick kept messaging me—like he still thought I'd cave. Still throwing me chances to come back.I ignored them all.Then he sent some photos—Molly's reassignment notice.He wrote: [I looked into it. I didn't approve your resignation—Molly processed it by mistake. She didn't realize it was from you. I've transferred her to logistics. She'll never touch company operations again. You've made your point. Isn't it time to stop?]Not long after, Molly also sent me a long, dramatic apology.At first glance, it looked sincere.But it was an acrostic—each line spelled out subtle digs at me. Petty, obvious stuff.No doubt Derrick told her to send it. Probably didn't even read it before forwarding it along.Back then, even the smallest thing I s

This time, I didn't freeze up or blow up. I just pulled out my phone."Cool. Then you can explain that to the police."***I hadn't come to pick a fight—but I was ready if he started one.The second I actually dialed the emergency number, Derrick panicked. He lunged over, yanked the phone from my hand, and hung up. "Yara, are you crazy?""I'm not. I just wanna see if the law agrees with you."He wasn't used to this version of me—calm, firm, not backing down. And it rattled him.His mouth tightened. "Alright, enough. I know you're mad about Molly. Starting tomorrow, I won't see her alone anymore, okay? And the wedding—I'll book it. Right now."He pulled out his phone. "I've been looking at this wedding planning company. I was gonna talk to you about it after the trip. Look."He held out his screen, showing some chat with customer service.I glanced at it.Yeah, he'd actually been planning a wedding.But one message popped out—he'd asked if they offered blue-themed dresses an

Derrick stiffened.Molly's eyes lit up, a smug smile twitching at the corners of her mouth. She wiped it off fast, but I caught it.She put on her sweet voice. "Yara, that's a bit much. After all, you two—""Enough, Molly. Wait outside," Derrick cut in, voice flat.She swallowed her words, threw in some fake-soft line about staying calm, then strutted off downstairs like she'd won.As soon as she was gone, Derrick's glare snapped back to me. "You're out of line. I already agreed to marry you—what more do you want?"Take back what you said. I'm not signing that resignation. Tear it up, and I'll act like none of this happened."The confidence in his voice was almost funny.Sad, even.I knew exactly how he got like this—and I had no one to blame but myself.This was just another rerun. Derrick always gave me an out, and I always took it—played along like we still had something real.I thought keeping the peace would save what was left. But all it did was teach him he could keep
