All Chapters of Deep Sea Betrayal: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Ruin this?" I stared through the thick glass at the faint warm glow emanating from inside the diving bell and let out a hoarse, cold laugh.To make sure the black box captured the most damning evidence, I forced down the increasingly violent suffocation tearing through my chest. I deliberately made my voice sound weak and desperate."Summer...the oxygen line is broken, and the emergency reserve is gone, too. I can't swim up. For the sake of our newborn daughter, please just open the door. If I die, who's going to support Kendra? Who's going to cover her expensive daycare fees?"When I mentioned Kendra, the comm fell silent for a brief moment.Suddenly, Zachary burst into wild, unrestrained laughter. Even through the crushing pressure of the deep sea, his laughter came through the headset, sharp and grating."Carter, oh Carter, you really are the world's biggest idiot!"Zachary laughed so hard he was almost out of breath, his voice dripping with malicious mockery. "You really thi

The massive underwater current stirred by the plummeting diving bell violently flung me backward. I tumbled wildly through the freezing water, and my helmet slammed hard against a rock, leaving me dizzy and disoriented.[Warning! Emergency Oxygen Remaining: 0 minutes 40 seconds!]The piercing electronic voice screamed in my ear as the red warning lights inside my helmet flashed frantically.Large black spots began spreading across my vision, and my limbs had grown so stiff from severe oxygen deprivation and the freezing deep-sea temperatures that they barely responded. My lungs felt like they were being carved up by countless dull knives, and every instinctive attempt to breathe only drew in foul, blood-tinged air.'Am I going to die? No! I won't let that happen!'I bit down hard on my tongue, using the searing pain to force myself into a moment of clarity. I had not seen those two bastards dragged to hell yet, and I had not taken back what was rightfully mine. There was no way I

Two weeks later, a carefully orchestrated press conference was underway in the luxury VIP suite of one of the country's top private hospitals.Summer sat in a wheelchair wearing a hospital gown, her legs covered with a thick cashmere blanket. Her makeup had been done to create a fragile, sickly look, with tears clinging to the corners of her eyes.Zachary stood behind her in a sharp, tailored suit, wearing the latest invisible hearing aids, looking devoted and resolute.Dozens of media outlets crowded the hospital room, with their cameras flashing nonstop."Ms. Yates, can you tell us what exactly happened down there? Why did Carter cut the cable?" one reporter eagerly asked.Summer immediately covered her face and let out a piercing sob, as if she had been deeply traumatized. "It was Carter... He went crazy! He'd been working in the deep sea for years and had developed severe deep-sea psychosis!"She continued her tearful accusation. "When the pipeline repair failed, not only did

Three days later, the ballroom of the city's most luxurious five-star hotel had been rented out by the sponsor company and decorated in extravagant black and white.This large-scale press conference and funeral service attracted over 100 mainstream media outlets from across the country, and online viewership across all streaming platforms exceeded 50 million.The large screens displayed my work photos on a loop, but they were accompanied by harsh labels like 'impulsive,' 'psychotic,' and 'cautionary tale.'At the center of the ballroom, Summer wore an expensive designer black dress and an elegant black veil, sitting in a custom electric wheelchair. She held a pristine white handkerchief, periodically dabbing at nonexistent tears in the corners of her eyes as she choked out her story to the cameras."Even though Carter committed an unforgivable crime and nearly killed us, he was still my husband once. I'm a disabled single mother now, but I'll stay strong and raise Kendra..."That

Faced with overwhelming evidence, Jason's face turned ghostly pale, and his legs gave out beneath him. He tried to throw away the check and appointment letter to distance himself, but two tactical officers immediately pinned him down."Take them away! You're charged with money laundering, falsifying national data, and being an accessory to attempted murder. Your company is finished today!" the officer said coldly.Hearing those words, Summer completely broke down. She dragged her paralyzed lower body across the floor like a worm, crawling toward my feet and desperately clutching my military boots as she sobbed and begged."Honey! Carter! I was wrong! I know that now! Zachary forced me into it! He wanted your hazard pay; he wanted to be a director! For the sake of our marriage, please forgive me! I don't want to go to prison!"I looked down at this woman who had once made me give her everything before pushing me into the abyss, and there was not a shred of sympathy in my eyes. I rai
