CHAPTER 20
Nora's grip faltered. Her breath caught in her throat.Meanwhile, Steven... A small smile appeared, faint—but very cruel."Let him in."Ryan then appeared with the door open in a hurry. His face was haggard, his hair messy, his breathing labored, his eyes red. He clearly hadn't slept well since the scandal broke.As soon as he saw Nora, he was shocked, then looked at Steven with a mixture of fear and anger.“Steven… we need to talk.”Steven just cut his steak calmly. "I'm having dinner with my ex-wife, the one you manipulated on.""You ruined my life!" Ryan's voice trembled with panic, ignoring Steven's words. "That photo—the comments—everyone is attacking me! You have to stop!""I have to?" Steven raised his eyebrows slowly. The tone of voice was like the most subtle yet most piercing mockery.Ryan approached, almost like a drowning man reaching for a lifeline."Please," he said softly. "I... I don't have a job anymore. The brand terminated my contract... my family's reputation i
CHAPTER 19
Steven's office was quiet. Only the sound of his typing could be heard—calm, steady, even elegant, as if he were signing a contract, not destroying someone.On his laptop screen, notifications popped up one by one:"Ryan Thomas is just riding on someone else's fame!""How embarrassing. A grown man crying and apologizing.""Thank God he's not my boyfriend."Comments continue to multiply, spreading like wildfire.Steven read everything without expression. There was only a small smile—cold, emotionless.He tapped the table once."Finally, the public sees him as he truly is," he muttered softly.Leon froze near the door, clearly understanding that Steven was in his most dangerous mode."All done, sir.""Not yet," Steven replied flatly. "This is just the beginning, and it will continue to be so."He turned off the screen, stood up, grabbed his black coat, and walked out of the office as if he had just finished attending a regular meeting.It was as if he hadn't just humiliated a man in fro
CHAPTER 18
His eyes stared at Nora intently. They no longer looked at her with love. Even if Steven still loved her, he would not show it. He then slowly put down his spoon, as if testing Nora's courage.Then he leaned forward slightly."Say again," he said softly.Nora flinched slightly."S-Steven, I... I want to—""No," he cut her off coldly. "Not that. Repeat what you just said, without trembling."Nora bit her lip.Her eyes were watering, but Steven's gaze forced her to remain sitting upright."If I want to satisfy you, will you let me sleep here, Steven?"Steven smiled faintly.It wasn't a sweet smile—but the smile of a man who had just made sure someone was kneeling in the right place."Finally," he said softly. "You're starting to speak honestly."Nora looked down, holding back the tears and shame that burned her throat.She had lowered her pride as much as possible in order to be with Steven again.Unfortunately, Steven was not easily moved. He wanted to teach Nora a lesson for what sh
CHAPTER 17
That morning, Steven sat in his quiet office, accompanied only by the soft ticking of the wall clock.On his computer screen was a photo of Ryan with a young model—it looked normal, but it had the potential to be misinterpreted.Steven tapped his desk softly, once... twice... three times. A slight smile appeared."Leon," he called without turning around.Leon immediately approached. "Yes, sir?"“Release the photos. At ten o'clock.”Leon froze for a moment. "With a caption?"“No caption needed.”Steven stood up slowly. "Let the public make up their own stories."Leon felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.Without a caption, it's even more dangerous—the photo could be misinterpreted in any way."And..." Steven added coldly, "Open global comments.""Including unfiltered comments, Sir?""Everything."Leon held his breath.That means allowing the internet to become a den of predators ready to tear Ryan Thomas' reputation to shreds."Yes, sir."10:00 AM — Photo released.The media
CHAPTER 16
That night, after Nora left with a broken face, Steven didn't do anything right away.He just stood there for a long time in front of the glass window, gazing at the twinkling lights of the city, like the discordant notes of a chaotic orchestra of life.Leon stood at the end of the room, anxious but silent. He knew that expression—not angry, not smiling, not sad.That was the expression of a leader who had discovered his enemy's weak point."Leon," Steven finally spoke softly. "Close the comments section on all posts related to Ryan for the next 48 hours."Leon frowned, not understanding what Steven meant."To protect his image, Sir?"There was no response for several seconds.Then Steven smiled faintly."No. To delay its destruction."Leon was silent and nodded.Steven didn't want Ryan to get discouraged quickly. He wanted the public to first be curious, then wonder, then start digging, before finally destroying Ryan without him even touching him.***Two days after Nora and Steven'
CHAPTER 15
Steven straightened his back, his breathing steady, his eyes sharp as a newly sharpened knife. Next to her, he stared at Valerie sleeping naked. He just finished fuck her until the morning came.He left her and got ready for work.In front of the glass screen reflecting his own face, he realized something he had never accepted before:He has been too nice for too long."My kindness is gone," he muttered softly.Slowly, but enough to make his throat catch.That day, Steven started moving again, but this time slowly... testing Nora first.Steven did not immediately execute any plans.There was no sudden press conference, no confession of Nora's sins, nor confrontation with Ryan.Not for now. He chose the most deadly option:Be quiet and slow down the rhythm.The reason is simple. People who already feel guilty will kill themselves with anxiety.And Steven wanted Nora to be destroyed slowly.Just like Steven was devastated after delving into Nora's character for years.Nora suddenly sen
