---- His mind was elsewhere, so he didn't think twice. He scribbled his name without reading it. I lowered my gaze. "Tf something urgent comes up, go ahead and handle it. I still have a surprise gift to prepare for you." At that, Samuel's face lit up, and he quickly left. As I watched him leave, I knew it wouldn't be long before Jessica messaged me to flaunt herself again. I took care of some other errands. After dividing all the assets, I handed all the evidence to a reporter and told him to wait for a while. When the time was right, I would have him release it. The journalist stared wide-eyed at the videos, photos, and chat records. "Alright, I'll follow your lead," he said. Once everything was arranged, I headed home. Along the way, a blinding white light shot toward me. Ihad no time to dodge and could only watch helplessly as a Maybach barreled straight at me. ---- That night, Jessica's face twisted into a hideous snarl. The impact flung me into the air. I crashed down and rolled across the ground before finally coming to a stop. I spat a mouthful of blood and felt like every bone in my body was shattering. Jessica walked over in her high heels. Then, she grabbed my hair and dragged me into the trunk of the car.
