regrets of a dead CEO
Gideon Pierce should feel unstoppable. The promotion to CEO of CE Enterprises was everything he worked for - power, prestige, proof that he had won. Instead, he feels nothing. No pride. No joy. Just a hollow, gnawing emptiness he can't outrun. So he does what men like him always do - buries it beneath excess. Alcohol. Ego. A gleaming new car. The illusion of control. Until one reckless decision shatters everything. A drunk drive. A moment of arrogance. A silent challenge to death itself. The crash should have killed him. It didn't. Gideon crawls from the wreckage, furious at the inconvenience, convinced he's escaped with nothing worse than a ruined suit and the threat of pneumonia before his first day as CEO. But something followed him out of that river. Something unseen. Something patient. The world begins to shift. Time feels wrong. Reality slips at the edges. And Gideon can feel his place in it... loosening. What happened to him beneath the dark water? And how do you fix a mistake when the cost was your soul? Regrets of a Dead CEO is a haunting psychological descent into guilt, consequence, and the thin line between redemption and damnation - where facing your demons may be the only way to survive them... or the final step toward becoming one.Complete
