Chapter 1

Harvey's Point-of-View"This is an improved laxative. It works instantly and helps your digestion without giving you nonstop diarrhea. It's bathroom time. Go now."My wife, Cassandra Solis, handed me a glass of water mixed with laxatives. The temperature was set to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, warm enough that it wouldn't upset my stomach.A stack of toilet paper sat beside it, laid out neatly. There were exactly ten sheets, and they were thick enough that even diarrhea wouldn't soak through.She pressed the countdown timer, and its rapid beeping drilled into my nerves.Five years of training had conditioned my body into acting on habit.My mind was still trying to make sense of the lines of text floating in front of my eyes, but my hand had already taken the glass and drained it in one gulp. My legs had already moved, sprinting for the restroom.The toilet flushed loudly.When I came out, Cassandra was leaning against the sink in the men's restroom. A group of men ran past her, scr

Chapter 2

Watching how careful and attentive Cassandra was with me only made me more certain that the floating text had to be fake.I told myself every odd thing I'd noticed was just a symptom and shoved the terminal diagnosis report deeper into my pocket.I wanted to tell Cassandra I was sick, but after thinking about it, I decided against it. I was afraid she would be devastated and that it might be a misdiagnosis.I was about to ask for time off so I could go to a bigger hospital and get a more thorough check-up when a voice cut in. "Cassie!"Cassandra's newly hired assistant, Xavier Lynch, walked over. He reeked of alcohol, and his cheeks were flushed from being drunk.I thought he was done for. Cassandra was always strict. Drinking at work was a serious violation.The first time I accidentally broke one of her rules, she made me stand in a corner while she yanked my ear and chewed me out for five straight hours.I was almost looking forward to watching her explode at Xavier, but sh

Chapter 3

The attention burning into my skin made shame rise in my throat, and it also snapped me awake. I looked at Cassandra and held my ground. "I want to take time off—"A loud smack echoed through the office.Cassandra had slapped me across the face. "You're impossible. Are you trying to drive me to an early grave?"For a second, my mind went completely blank.She hit me.Cassandra was still furious, and she raised her hand again. Just then, Xavier rushed forward and wrapped his arms around her. "Cassie, don't be mad. It's my fault. I'm the useless one who led him astray," he said. "Give me another three months off and one million dollars as living expenses, and I'll disappear to the farthest country. I won't corrupt him ever again."Cassandra pulled out a card and threw it at him. "Ten million dollars. Take it. Keep your promise and get as far away as possible."The sharp edge of the card knocked his forehead and left a red mark, but he broke into a wide grin. "Cassie, your mone

"That's right. Cassandra counts the days, too. Seeing how exhausted Harvey is, she cries every day."Really?But I was dying of cancer. There was no future left for me to wait for. I didn't want to keep waiting either."I'm sick," I said.Saying it out loud felt like finally exhaling after holding my breath for too long.Cassandra, however, didn't believe me. She let out a cold laugh instead."You're sick, alright. Fine. You want half a day off? I'll give it to you. But don't think acting unreasonably will earn you anything more. This leave will be made up later. For the next ten days, you'll cut one hour from your sleep each night to compensate.""Does Xavier have to make up his leave too?" I retorted.She answered without hesitation, "He's different."So that was it. He didn't have to make up for lost time.Her response lit the fuse on everything I'd been holding down. "Is he different, or does he just matter more to you?"Cassandra studied me for a moment, then sighed. "I

"Do you think playing the victim will make me stop? Don't be naive. If it's not on you, then tell me where you hid it," Cassandra demanded.At that moment, Xavier handed her his phone and sighed. "Cassie, I noticed Harvey's been chatting with another woman. I didn't want to interfere in your private matters, but I'm worried he might have handed the files to her."Cassandra scrolled through the screen, her face growing darker with every second. She shoved the phone toward me. On the screen was a screenshot."'Good night, Babe. Sweet dreams.' Harvey, have I given you so much rest time that you still have energy to flirt?"The screenshots were fake.I wanted to explain, but my body wouldn't cooperate. I forced the words out through clenched teeth. "I didn't do any of that."Xavier raised his voice. "Harvey, the evidence is right here. Stop denying it."He then turned to Cassandra. "Cassie, don't worry. Men make mistakes all the time. My friend runs a training center that specialize

Third Person Point-of-View"So you're pretending you can't talk now?" Xavier snarled. "You think staying silent will save you? Do you want me to shock you until you really can't speak anymore?"He completely lost control. He slammed the switch down without hesitation, pushing the machine to its absolute limit.Harvey's body went slack on the electric bed, consciousness slipping away again as the current tore through him. He lay there motionless, like a corpse, allowing the electricity to surge through him.The room was filled with a nauseating smell. It was a mix of waste and something faintly burned.Several staff members rushed forward in panic, trying to stop Xavier. "Mr. Lynch, you've been running the highest current for two hours straight. If you keep this up, he's going to die!""And whose fault is that? His mouth is too damn stubborn!" Xavier growled. "Anyone else would've begged for mercy the first time they got shocked, but he refuses to give in. If we let him walk out l

Chapter 7

"Mr. Lynch… Harvey seems to be… kind of… dead."Xavier's eyes flew wide open once he read the message. He replied, "What do you mean by 'kind of dead'? Be clear! What happened to him?"Another message followed. "When the doctor arrived, he said Harvey's heart had already stopped. He was electrocuted to death…"The words hit Xavier like a bolt of lightning. He shot to his feet, knocking over the coffee pot in front of him.Dead? How could he be dead?His face drained of all color. Harvey had died in his hands. How was he supposed to explain that?His mind went completely blank.Just then, Cassandra leaned over, frowning. "What's going on? Let me see. Why are you so tense? You're sweating all over."She was too close, close enough to see the screen.Xavier reacted instantly. He hurled the phone to the floor and stomped on it."Damn it," he cursed. "The stock crashed. The three million dollars I just invested is gone!"Cassandra took a step back, disgust flickering across her

Chapter 8

"I almost died saving you," Xavier said. "I was willing to throw my life away back then. You've treated me well ever since, and I've always been grateful for that. Why would I ever lie to you?"He continued, "And what would I gain from hurting Harvey? If you truly don't trust me, then there's no need to question me at all. Just call the police and have me arrested."His words snapped Cassandra back to herself. She hadn't even confirmed what those strange lines of text were, yet she had believed them without hesitation."That's not what I meant," she said. "I just suddenly saw words in front of my eyes telling me that something had happened to Harvey. I panicked for a moment. That's why I…"Despite his shock, Xavier's mind moved quickly. "Cassie, it sounds like you're not feeling well. I'll take you to the hospital right now.""But Harvey…" Cassandra still hesitated.Xavier sighed. "If you don't believe me, then I'll show you."He opened a live surveillance feed. On the screen,

Chapter 9

"Xavier already finished editing the fake footage. He's making it look like Harvey ran away with that woman."Cassandra was still trying to process everything when Xavier happened to receive a phone call. His expression changed instantly. He showed her a surveillance video."This is bad. Harvey knocked out a guard and left with that woman. See for yourself!"Everything unfolding on the screen matched the words she had seen earlier.Cassandra stared at the footage, her shock slowly giving way to doubt. The video was almost too convincing. For a moment, she wondered if this was another episode.Then, the lines of text appeared again."Don't fall for it. Look closely. Harvey's nose is straight, but the shadow in the video shows a flat bridge. They didn't even bother fixing the shadow.""Good catch. And Harvey's hands are long and slender. The man in the video has stubby fingers. Did Xavier rush this and only match the body shape?"As the lines of text dissected the details one by

Chapter 10

Xavier had hidden the flash drive himself.The entire incident had been staged from the very beginning. He'd only wanted to teach Harvey a lesson, never expecting him to resist as stubbornly as he did.When Harvey refused to submit, Xavier increased the voltage and electrocuted him to death. Afterward, he fabricated the story of Harvey's escape to evade responsibility.To make the lie more convincing, he even arranged his own kidnapping. He planned to continue playing the victim in front of Cassandra.Unfortunately for him, she had already seen through everything. She had deliberately kept the police from finding him because she wanted to settle the score with him herself.Cassandra didn't say a word. She simply motioned to the bodyguards.A rope was tied around Xavier, and he was thrown into a cesspit."Didn't you say it was nutritious? Eat as much as you want, then."Xavier's eyes widened in terror. He screamed and struggled, but Cassandra didn't react. When the rope was pu
