I call out for her again. “There is no Trisha here, sir. And you need to leave. It’s already morning and customer’s time is over. I need to clean up, sir.” The cleaning lady says. I look around again, feeling really confused. I could have sworn Trisha was here with me. Did she leave me again? “Sir, please, I am moving with time here.” The cleaning lady says to me impatiently. “You are sure you didn’t see a lady here.” I ask.

The Greenland Node wasn't waiting for us to arrive. It was sending something to Collect the Assets early.

I say. “I cleared the board so we could play a new game.” He finally lifts the espresso cup—porcelain so thin light passes through it. “The old families are gone. Volkov, Greco, Moretti—pruned. The Clean Slate isn’t interested in revenge. We’re interested in order.” “You want the seed strain.”

A mansion, a large apartment downtown, a Maserati, ten million dollars in cash, and one percent share of his publicly traded company. All this was a small token of sincerity? "Fine." I signed with the pen. "I'll accept the compensation." Although Ethan loved me now, who could guarantee what would happen later? When men stopped loving you, their hearts could easily turn to stone. I had to keep something of my own to rely on. I did not hide this from Ethan. I just did not tell him the exact amount. However, he did not react much to it. "If he's giving it to you, just take it. No matter how much he gives, he owes you.

The array hummed, and the sweet nothings that once made my wolf's heart race instantly turned into meaningless dust. Matching wolf-tooth necklaces, couple's pelt rugs, all the taxidermy prey he had gifted me, those so-called trophies of war... Anything that carried our shared memories or scent was cleared out, bagged up, and thrown into the waste disposal unit. The entire den was so clean, it was as if I had never existed. Just like what I was about to do—disappear completely. The final day. Four hours before my aircraft was set to depart for the Neutral Territories.

“Evan, I’m deploying a purge script. It’ll crawl shared links, cached files, even private group chats. Every copy will vanish.” Tristan, perched on the edge of the bed, leaned forward, eyes wide. “Mom… you’re like a superhero.” His voice trembled with awe. “You can erase things from the whole internet?” Cassie allowed herself the faintest smile. “Not erase, Tris, redirect, or corrupt. The image becomes a ghost file, empty, useless. People won’t even notice until it’s gone.” Evan’s typing echoed faintly through the line. “Syncing with your purge. Running a parallel trace.

“Sign this agreement. It extends your probation by three months and cuts your pay by forty percent.” Adeline Lancaster, the HR manager, casually filed her nails. She didn’t bother looking up as she rolled her eyes. “Don’t think this company can’t run without you just because you wrote the core architecture. “Tristan Rothwell has taken over all your code.
