Chapter 1

"What a shameless, brazen man, daring to set his sights on Ms. Judd when Ethan's right there! He's about to regret it.""I don't think he knows what's coming yet. Although Ethan might be an intern, his father is the company executive. Any man who tried to covet Ms. Judd all ended up on a gurney."Whispers rippled endlessly through the surrounding employees. Ethan Irwin, the righteous intern-assistant, towered over me, his eyes brimming with barely contained contempt.The next second, he grabbed my hair and lifted me off the ground. A searing pain exploded across my scalp, causing my legs to nearly give out. I let out a muffled groan, only to get punched in the face before I could take my next breath."You're a man—why are you moaning like that? Who are you trying to seduce here? I'm telling you. Ms. Judd is out for a meeting and won't be in the office today. You'd better forget those dirty thoughts of yours. Otherwise, I'll make you regret ever setting foot in here."I suppressed

Chapter 2

"Geez! Have the security guards at Judd Group always been slacking off like this? Why did they let just anyone in?"I had lost all strength in my body, curling into a tight ball on the floor, but I held on to the file in my arms, as if my life depended on it.After seven years at the top-secret research unit, the project was finally approaching its conclusion. Celeste was once Daniel's student. He made a point of stressing that I had to deliver the file into her hands intact.However, it was precisely because of my action that Ethan immediately noticed the document envelope in my arms. He raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity amid his hostile gaze. Immediately, I read his mind and eagerly shook my head."Look at him, Ethan. After everything, he's still clinging to that stupid envelope. Who knows? Maybe there's a love letter to Ms. Judd in there. I heard all these newbies want to take the shady route nowadays."I even saw online how some interns tried to seduce their bosses, swapp

The sharp nib of the fountain pen easily penetrated through my palm. Ruby-red blood gushed out from the puncture. I screamed in agony, my face twisting grotesquely. I could vividly feel the tendons in my hand being crushed and torn apart.Ethan picked up the file and, without hesitation, tore it into pieces, hurling the shreds of paper into my face. "You imbecile. I'll teach you what your useless father failed to educate you—keep your hands and eyes off what's not yours!"With that, his lackeys hoisted me into the air again.The kick had left my body drenched in cold sweat. I hung my head, nearly dying, thinking Ethan would let it end here, only to hear him command that I be carried into the company's lobby.…The front desk staff and passersby outside gawked at the scene. A few curious onlookers, clueless about what was happening, asked what had occurred.Ethan merely snorted, his cold gaze sweeping over me from head to toe. "Just a new assistant who doesn't know his place. He t

Seeing the state I was in, Daniel and the others sucked in a sharp breath, terrified."Oh, my God… How did they do this to you?""This is insane! Don't you know this is illegal?"At that, Ethan let out a short, amused laugh. He strolled over to me like he didn't have a care in the world. "Who are you guys even? How dare you interfere in my business?"He scoffed. "And don't you know? In this city, the Judd family is the law! And I… I'm the fiance of the head of that family. Speak another word in his favor, and I'll make sure you and your lowlife family go down with him!"His words sent chills down the spines of everyone else, but not Daniel's. He had watched Celeste grow up, so naturally, he wouldn't believe that she would ever marry a man like this.So, he dialed her number. "Cece, Ozzy is being tortured here. You have to come to the office now!"Seeing that, Simon snatched his phone and tossed it to the ground. Within a split second, the device was shattered into pieces.He op

Celeste stopped right before me. When she saw me lying there, barely conscious and surrounded by blood, the panic in her eyes instantly hardened into fury."So," she said quietly, her voice cold enough to be devoid of all warmth, "this is the man you claimed was trying to hit on me?"Ethan nodded vigorously, wearing an intimate, fawning smile as he stepped forward, trying to put an arm around her."That's him. You have no idea—I went all out, clearing all these irrelevant people for you. I even hurt my hand beating him. He even insisted he wasn't trying to get close to you, but I saw your contact was pinned at the top of his list!"He had barely gotten halfway through his words when he clearly felt Celeste's entire body shaking."Ms. Judd, what's wrong? Was my punishment not hard enough? If you're still not satisfied, I can—"Before he could finish, Celeste no longer held back her fury. With a single command, a guard at her side kicked Ethan, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Chapter 6

"Sending you lowlifes to prison alone won't come close to easing the hatred in my heart," Celeste said. "Before that, I want you to repay hundreds, thousands of times over the pain you inflicted on Ozzy!"With a sharp wave of her hand, the bodyguards behind her surged forward at once. Ignoring Ethan's and Simon's desperate pleas, they dragged them away and forced them into a car.As for me, my injuries were too severe. My vision went dark, and I lost consciousness.…When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in the Judd residence.The moment Mom saw me awake, her nose twitched, and tears spilled uncontrollably down her cheeks. "Ozzy, you're finally awake! You've been unconscious for three days!"She held my hand tightly, her face drawn and exhausted, as if she hadn't slept properly for several nights.I forced myself to sit up in bed. "Mom, I'm okay… Where's Celeste?"At the sound of my voice, Dad burst through the door in a hurry. "My precious son, you scared us to death! If an

Chapter 7

Celeste covered her nose in disgust, then ruthlessly sent a kick toward Ethan's abdomen. He let out a wail, blood gushing out of his mouth.Resentment had clouded her mind. As if it wasn't enough, she picked up a steel pipe from the side, aimed the opening at Ethan's palm, and stabbed through it.After a series of anguished screams, all his strength drained away. His vision went black, and he collapsed forward. At the same time, I reached out, grabbing Celeste, trying to hold on to the last thread of her sanity."That's enough, Celeste," I muttered. "You wouldn't want to kill him and end up with the same fate as them, would you? Prison isn't a place you should be."Celeste's body froze. She turned around to look at me, her eyes bloodshot with tears. "I'm so sorry, Ozzy… I was too late. If I hadn't been out for that meeting, you wouldn't have been tortured by these two monsters!"She let out a few tears of guilt. "But don't worry. I'll make sure you see the best doctors. I won't le

Chapter 8

On the night I returned home, Celeste was already waiting at the airport with her car. The moment she saw me, a flash of disbelief crossed her eyes. "Oh, my God, Ozzy, you've actually gotten even more handsome than before!"I smiled brightly and put my suitcase into the trunk.On the drive back, she brought up Ethan again. "During the year you were away, his father died. I heard it was after he was sentenced to prison. His wife ran off with another man, and Ethan's situation was completely sealed from the outside."His father had a mental breakdown and ended his life in his prison cell. You have no idea how bad it was… They said he crushed his skull and died immediately."In the backseat, Dad let out a mocking, cold laugh. "He deserved that, though I have to say death was his easiest way out. He should've experienced all the tortures that ever existed in history."Meanwhile, Mom was confused about one thing. "What about Ethan, then? After everything he did, he didn't get sentenced
