Chapter 1: The Birthday Betrayal
"I do not care about your legs, Aren. I will love you through thick and thin forever."Jasmine had made that promise three years ago.They were standing in the cold rain outside her parents' house.Her clothes were soaked through, and her hands trembled as she held onto him.Her family had just thrown Aren out into the street, calling him a useless crippled burden.They laughed at his wheelchair and told Jasmine to leave him.But Jasmine stood in front of him like a shield.She wiped the rainwater from his face and squeezed his hands tightly."When my company makes it big, I will find the best doctors in the world to fix your legs," she had sworn to him, her eyes bright with tears."I will never abandon you."Aren sat alone in his wheelchair outside the glass office door, holding a small cardboard box while watching the same woman kiss another man.Through the clear glass, Jasmine was wrapped tightly in Nikolai Wynn’s arms.Nikolai held her waist, and Jasmine leaned into his chest wit
Chapter 2: Sign Without Begging
Aren’s black pen moved smoothly across the white paper.He signed his name on the line for the husband, his handwriting firm and completely steady.There were no tears in his eyes.His hand did not tremble, and his breathing remained slow and even.Jasmine watched him in complete shock.She had prepared herself for a long, ugly scene.She expected Aren to weep, to grab her hands, or to spin his wheelchair around her desk to block her path.She expected him to remind her of their three years together and beg for one more chance.Instead, Aren was signing away his marriage as calmly as if he were signing a simple delivery note."You are not even going to fight for us?" Jasmine asked, her voice tight with a strange, sudden offense. "Is that all our marriage meant to you?"Aren paused, his pen resting lightly on the second page.He looked up at her, his dark eyes calm and unreadable."Fight for us?" Aren asked softly. "You just kissed another man on my birthday, Jasmine. What is left to f
Chapter 3: The End of the Experiment
The elevator doors slid shut, cutting off the panicked shouting inside Jasmine's office.Aren sat alone in the quiet metallic cabin as it descended.He lowered his eyes to his motionless legs.There had been a time when he hated the wheelchair. He hated the way people looked at him when they saw it.He hated the pity in some people's eyes and the disgust in others.Most of all, he hated the way his disability had slowly become the only thing people saw when they looked at him.But over the years, he had learned to live with it.What he could not accept was being loved only when he was useful.He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a plain black phone he had not touched in three long years.He pressed a single speed-dial key.The call connected on the very first ring."Young Master Greyson?" a sharp voice came over the line, filled with shock."It is me, Xavier," Aren said quietly, his voice devoid of all previous warmth. "The experiment is over."On the other end of the line,
Chapter 4: The Cold Household
The black luxury sedan glided silently through the dark streets.Aren sat in the quiet back seat, staring out at the passing city lights.His body felt exhausted, but his mind was sharp and clear.For three years, the Richards mansion had never truly felt like his home.He had prepared their daily meals, washed their mountain of dishes, and handled countless household chores from his wheelchair every single day.They treated him like garbage simply because he could not walk.Tonight, he was going back one last time to collect his few personal things.The car stopped outside the grand gates of the Richards mansion."Do you want me to come inside with you, Young Master?" Xavier asked, looking into the rearview mirror."No," Aren said softly. "I will handle this myself."Xavier stepped out, unloaded the wheelchair from the trunk, and carefully helped Aren settle into the seat.Aren pressed the armrest control, rolling himself toward the heavy front door of the house.Inside the bright li
Chapter 5: The Fall and the Takeover
The sharp sound of breaking glass echoed through the dining room.Red wine pooled across the white marble floor, staining the tiles like fresh blood.Helen stopped mid-laugh, her fork hovering in the air."Jasmine?" Helen asked, frowning as she looked across the room. "What is wrong with you? You just spilled a five-hundred-dollar bottle of wine!"Jasmine did not answer her mother.Her hands were shaking so violently that she could barely hold the phone against her ear."Say that again," Jasmine whispered, her voice barely audible."President Richards, it is true!" the chief financial officer shouted over the line, his voice filled with panic."City Central Bank just revoked our credit facility! They cited an immediate drop in our corporate risk rating. They are demanding full repayment of our twenty-million-dollar operational loan by four o'clock tomorrow afternoon!""Twenty million?" Jasmine gasped, her knees suddenly feeling weak. She grabbed the edge of a mahogany chair to steady
Chapter 6: Power and Silence
Loud, hysterical laughter erupted throughout the executive boardroom.The twelve board members leaned back in their leather chairs, slapping the mahogany table as they cackled at the man sitting in the wheelchair."Is this a joke?" Dwight wheezed, wiping a tear of laughter from his eye."Did someone hire a crippled comedian to entertain us before we go bankrupt?""You own Starburst Tech?" another director, Orson, mocked, pointing a trembling finger at Aren's simple wheelchair."Kid, we are forty million dollars in debt! Even your clothes probably cost less than a fraction of our interest payments!""Get this beggar out of here!" Dwight ordered, turning away with deep disgust. "We have actual business to conduct!"Aren sat in the center of the room, completely unbothered by their ridicule.He did not raise his voice or argue. He simply raised his right hand and tapped his fingers twice against the armrest.Behind him, Xavier stepped forward with an icy, terrifying calm.Xavier snapped
Chapter 7: The Five-Hour Wait
The grand glass lobby of Starburst Tech was filled with the soft, steady hum of the air-conditioning.Jasmine stood near the center of the polished marble floor, her high heels digging painfully into her swollen feet.She had been standing in the exact same spot for almost five hours.She had arrived at eight o'clock that morning, clutching Richards Group's financial portfolio against her chest.Her phone buzzed continuously inside her purse with panicked alerts from her accounting team, but she ignored every single one.She could not afford to leave.Young Master Greyson had acquired Starburst Tech and cleared forty million dollars of debt with a single wire transfer.He was the only person in the city capable of saving her company before the four o'clock deadline.She only needed five minutes.A few feet away behind the curved reception desk, Xavier sat comfortably in a black suit, casually reviewing documents on a tablet.He had noticed Jasmine the moment she walked in.He knew she
Chapter 8: The Price of Arrogance
Up in the penthouse office of Starburst Tech, Aren took a slow sip of his hot tea.He set the porcelain cup down on his desk and glanced up at Xavier."Trash?" Aren asked, his eyebrow raising slightly. "What are you talking about?"Xavier’s calm, professional posture didn't shift an inch."Just some unwanted solicitors trying to drop off worthless paperwork in the lobby, Young Master," Xavier replied smoothly, keeping his voice light."I made sure security cleared the floor so it would not disturb your afternoon."Aren stared at his assistant for a second, catching the subtle flicker of satisfaction in Xavier's eyes.He didn't pry further. He simply nodded and returned his focus to the glass tablet on his lap."Ensure the new R&D budget is fully cleared by five," Aren ordered quietly."I want our core development team focused entirely on expansion.""Right away, sir," Xavier bowed respectfully, stepping out of the office.While Jasmine was standing frozen on the sidewalk outside Starb
Chapter 9: The Total Collapse
The gravel driveway of the Richards mansion was blocked by three heavy black trucks. A group of stern men in dark suits stepped through the grand front doors, carrying clipboards, rolls of red sealing tape, and official legal notices. Helen and Paul had barely returned from the restaurant, their clothes rumpled and Helen's broken shoe dragging against the pavement, when they saw the scene. "What is the meaning of this?!" Helen shrieked, her raw voice cracking as she rushed toward the front entrance. "Get out of my house! Get your dirty hands off my door!" A sharp-eyed man stepping down the stone stairs pulled a thick document from his leather coat. "Helen Richards?" the chief bailiff asked coldly. "This property, along with all private bank accounts, vehicles, and real estate assets registered under the Richards family, has been officially frozen by court order." "Frozen?!" Paul gasped, clutching his chest as he stumbled up behind his wife. "You can't freeze our house
Chapter 10: The First Order
Aren sat at the head of the long glass table inside Starburst Tech's top-floor boardroom. The fired directors were already gone, but the remaining ten executives sat in uneasy silence. They shifted in their chairs, stealing nervous glances at the young man sitting before them. They knew he had just paid off the company's forty-million-dollar debt with a single phone call. But looking at his simple clothes, nobody understood who he really was. Xavier stood quietly behind Aren's chair, holding a thick leather file. Aren opened the financial report on the table and flipped through the pages. The numbers were disastrous. Even with the debt cleared, Starburst Tech was bleeding money. Revenue had dropped by seventy percent over the last six months. Their primary artificial intelligence software project had been abandoned halfway through development. To make matters worse, three of their biggest corporate clients had already canceled their contracts and signed with rival firms. Vice P
