Chapter 46
The high-polished marble floors of the Sterling Group corporate headquarters echoed with the sharp, furious rhythm of Susan’s heels. She moved through the executive floor like a storm, slamming doors aside and ignoring the startled looks of senior managers.She didn't stop until she reached the corner office of the Chairman of the Board. She pushed the heavy double doors open without knocking."What is the meaning of this?" Susan demanded, her voice cutting through the quiet office. "What do you mean the anonymous investor withdrew his shares?"The Chairman, a silver-haired man in a dark suit, looked up from his desk. His expression was pale, his eyes wide with genuine panic. He didn't even reprimand her for barging in."It’s true, Susan," the Chairman said, his voice trembling slightly. "His chief financial officer was here less than an hour ago. He executed a full, immediate withdrawal of all equity under strict, non-negotiable directives.""Why?" Susan yelled, slamming her palm ont

Chapter 45
Michael unlocked the door to his rented apartment and stepped inside, dropping his keys onto the console table. Every bone in his body ached. The long hours at the hospital and then the drama at the school, coupled with the crushing weight of everything falling apart, had completely drained him.Yet, as tired as he was, he couldn't just collapse onto his bed. He had responsibilities here, strange as they were.When he had taken this place, the lease agreement contained three of the most absurd requirements he had ever read: Requirement one: The tenant must be a doctor working at the central hospital. Requirement two: The tenant's name must be Michael. Requirement three: Instead of high rent, the tenant must agree to cook three meals a day for the landlord whenever she is home.At the time, desperate for a clean break and a place away from the Sterling estate, he hadn't questioned it. But tonight, standing in the quiet living room, the sheer oddity of those rules pressed against his mi

Michael looked at Susan, his eyes flat and devoid of any warmth. The chaos in the room, the groaning men on the floor, and the loud demands from the fat man seemed to fade into background noise."Michael!" Susan snapped, her voice piercing the air. "I asked you a question! What on earth did you mean by 'my wife's boyfriend'? Explain yourself right now!"Michael didn't answer. He didn't blink, raise his voice, or offer a single word of justification. He simply turned on his heel, stepped over a fallen chair, and walked straight out the door."Michael! Don't you dare walk away from me!" Susan screamed, her heels clicking rapidly against the floor as she rushed out into the hallway to chase him down. "Stop right there!"She caught up to him near the main entrance gates, grabbing his sleeve with tight, trembling fingers."Are you insane?!" Susan yelled, her face flushed red with anger. "You come here, make a massive mess, insult me, and then just walk away?! If you leave right now, I swea

The entire office went dead silent.Mrs. Gable gasped softly behind her desk, holding her breath in utter disbelief. Even the fat man grinned wildly, thoroughly enjoying the pathetic domestic drama unfolding right before his eyes.Michael stood completely still. He looked at Susan, his dark eyes staring directly into hers, searching for even a single trace of humanity, respect, or love.There was none. Only cold demand and arrogant authority.A sudden, deep laugh bubbled up from Michael's chest—a cold, sarcastic and tragic laugh that made everyone in the room feel an uncomfortable chill down their spines."You want me to kneel?" Michael asked, his voice dropping into a deadly, quiet whisper."Yes!" Susan demanded sharply, stepping toward him with her arms crossed. "Stop acting so stubborn! You caused this whole mess with your useless pride! If you had just handled things quietly from the beginning, we wouldn't be in this situation! It's just an apology—kneel down, take responsibility,
Chapter 42
Michael froze for a fraction of a second, then turned around slowly.Susan stood in the doorway, her high heels clicking loudly against the floor as she rushed into the room. Her face was flushed with intense anger, her eyes burning with pure fury as she glared directly at Michael.Leo immediately broke away from Baron and threw himself into Susan's arms, sobbing hysterically."Mommy! Mommy!" Leo cried, clutching her waist tight. "Michael is being so mean to me! He called me a liar! He kept screaming at me and trying to make me kneel down and apologize to strangers! He didn't even protect me when those bad men tried to hit me!"Susan held her son tightly, stroking his hair while shooting daggers at Michael with her eyes. " Shh, sweetie, mommy is here. Nobody is going to hurt you."Baron stepped forward, his face full of exaggerated grievance as he shook his head sadly. "Susan, you came just in time. I tried to reason with Michael, but he completely lost his mind. He refused to protect
