Elijah’s pov ;
Daniel was informing about the upcoming eting. He’s covering for Ash today since Ash took a leave because his ass was sore from my fucking.
I wasn’t listening to Daniel, my mind was still stuck on yesterday’s events. Ash’s naked form with that guy in the bathroom keeps replaying in my head, making furious. How shaless can he be? Doesn’t he understand not to disobey ?
He even breached the contract.
I don’t know how to stop him from doing these shaful deeds. He acts like he owns , like I’m just another conquest. Well, I’ll show him. He can’t just humiliate like this and get away with it.
Just as I was lost in these thoughts, the receptionist interrupted with a call. "Soone nad Thomas wants to et you," she inford .
Thomas? I wasn’t expecting him today. Could he have found a lead in my parents’ case?
"Shall I send him up?" she asked.
"Send ," I replied firmly. Turning to Daniel, I dismissed him. "You can go. I’ll handle things from here."
Daniel nodded and left.
Thomas entered the room with a serious expression and greeted . He handed a thick report, and as I flipped through its pages, he spoke.
"I found sothing really interesting about Ash while digging into his past," he let out.
I glanced at him and nodded for him to continue, my curiosity piquing.
"From a young age, Ash suffered from CED, Chronic Emotional Detachnt. It’s a rare condition that made it hard for him to connect with others, even his own family."
I listened attentively, absorbing the details. "Go on."
I already know that much. Samantha had inford with her loud mouth.
"Due to his condition, Ash’s father kept him in hospitals to prevent his outbursts," Thomas explained, his tone grave. "His father couldn’t keep him at ho for long because he would lash out at his mother and sister. Strangely, he was only close to his father, who shielded him from the world. But despite his father’s efforts, Ash would isolate himself from everyone else."
I frowned as I took in the information. I’m only aware that he used to be sick but not that it was this severe that his father had to put him in hospital.
Thomas continued, "Ash’s father kept his condition a secret from everyone, fearing he would be exploited or bullied. I t a doctor who used to treat Ash and he told that when Ash’s father learned he was suffering from cancer, he wanted to find soone trustworthy who could take care of Ash after he was gone."
I stared at Thomas, the weight of his words sinking in. So, Ash’s father chose . And that’s why he made promise to look after Ash. It’s all making sense now. Everything falling into pieces.
Darren didn’t help in the past because he was guilty of what his son did to my parents, what I have been thinking all this ti. No, instead, he helped so that he could bind to his son as my debt. He saw as an opportunity to take his place and entrust his troublemaker prince to who needed constant supervision and guidance.
As I looked at Thomas. "Thank you for uncovering this," I said quietly. "It explains so much."
Thomas nodded in understanding. "I’ll be on my way then. I’ll update you soon if I find any new information."
I nodded and he left.
I feel a surge of anger. Why didn’t Darren feel any pity for ? The father and son duo are really the sa, devoid of empathy, using people as they see fit.
Ash has attachnt issues, right? A dark idea ford in my mind. If his father can use to bind to him, why can’t I use Ash’s ntal condition to ruin his life?
The more I think about it, the darker my thoughts beco. He should experience the sa devastating loss I felt. He has to understand what it’s like to be manipulated, to be used, to be utterly dependent on soone who will only abandon him.
And I know how I’ll do it. I’ll pretend to forgive him. Or at least, that’s what I’ll make him believe. And then I’ll show him unconditional love and care, just as his father wanted. I’ll make myself indispensable in his life, his sole source of emotional stability and happiness.
Every day, I will pour myself into our relationship. I’ll be attentive, caring, and the perfect partner. I’ll share my vulnerabilities, my fears, and dreams. I’ll make Ash feel safe, understood, and deeply loved. It won’t be long before he begins to depend on completely.
Then I’ll make him start isolating himself from others, choosing to spend all his ti with . His eyes will light up when I enter the room, and he’ll cling to as if I’m his lifeline.
I’ll take his father’s place in his life. He’ll trust completely, and believe in our future together. I’ll make him beco obsessed with .
Then, at the perfect mont, when he would be at his most vulnerable, I would cut all contact with him. I won’t return his calls or ssages. I’ll disappear from his life without a trace, leaving him without any explanation or closure.
The first few days will be easy. I’ll ignore his desperate calls, the texts that grow increasingly frantic. He would be alone in our house, breaking down and unable to understand why I’d left. His ssages will start with confusion, then anger, and finally, heartbreaking pleas. "Please, Elijah, just tell what I did wrong. Co back, please."
But I won’t go back to him. I’ll stay away, watching from a distance as his world crumbles. I’ll spread rumors to ensure he becos a social outcast and ruin his acting career which would further isolate him. I’ll make sure he has no one to turn to, no one to help him understand why I’m gone and why everything is happening to him.
I want him to break down completely, to beg for to stay, to understand the pain of losing soone irreplaceable. Only then will my revenge be complete.
I want to see him sitting alone devastated and broken with tears and desperation. Only then I’ll feel a sense of satisfaction.
He has to experience the sa pain I felt, the pain of losing soone you thought would always be there.
Only then revenge will be complete.
