The only way to rid yourself of your demons? Face them head-on and fucking destroy them.
It was long overdue, and in the back of my mind, I always knew that bastard would come back for me, no matter how many times I tried to convince myself it was all over.
The truth is, demons don't just vanish, they linger, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
When Mirha told me about that particular text—the one where he declared his intentions to ruin me—I recognized the sender instantly.
I remembered the look in his eyes, that predatory glint, a promise etched in his gaze that he would return. Back then, I didn't fully grasp the weight of it, but now? Now I understood. It was a hunger for revenge, a thirst that had festered over time, and he had come back to quench it.
But he made one colossal mistake. If he had come for me alone, I might have let it slide. But dragging my wife into this twisted game? That was a fucking wrong move.
I'm going to tear him apart, make him regret ever waking up one day and thinking it would be a good idea to play with my life—her.
Everything was planned perfectly. From the business party that set everything in motion to the chaos of accident that followed and then leaving Mirha crying alone in that dark hospital room after hurling words that felt like daggers to my own heart. It took every ounce of strength I had to utter those cruel sentences, knowing they would cut her deep.
Including Hunter was part of the plan as well. If he hadn't been such an annoying piece of shit, I might've felt a twinge of sympathy for him, because surprisingly, that menace wasn't as terrible as I'd initially thought.
Reluctantly—because I didn't want that fucker breathing anywhere near her—I sent Mirha to him to seek help, making it look like she was betraying me while secretly aiding my mission to save my company.
He had some twisted history with Scarlet, and I knew if we threw him a bone, he'd take it, because he was a fucking fool, obviously.
So, Mirha approached him, promising to provide all the dirt on Scarlet and help humiliate her through me, and the idiot fell for it. Mirha also told him to keep it under wraps for my sake.
A part of me was shocked that the annoying piece of shit actually tried his best to warn me about Mirha's supposed betrayal and almost seemed like he cared.
But still, I don't like that fucker one bit.
I also told Zara and that bastard Amir, who refused to believe that Mirha could ever betray me. Zara was left speechless, insisting I must've mistaken something, but I convinced her otherwise. I didn't want her hating her best friend or anything, but I knew I had to make everything look natural.
