He Buried Me But I Painted My Own Resurrection novel Chapter 135

A deafening ring echoed in Grant's ears as his mind flatlined.

The night breeze seemed to stop.

The ambient chatter, the hum of traffic, the faint music from the hall—every single sound was brutally vacuumed away.

His vision funneled down to a single, agonizing image: Sienna, initiating a deeply intimate, unreserved kiss with another man.

The woman who used to tiptoe around him, who would nervously search his eyes just for permission to lean in for a peck, was now kissing Lucas with an eager, lingering passion he had never experienced.

Grant stood with his mouth agape. Her name turned to ash in his throat.

He thought back to the restroom—her desperate confession, that lingering look of sorrow, and his own triumphant theory that she was simply protecting him.

Was it all fake?

No, that couldn't be right.

He shook his head violently, desperately trying to dislodge the toxic thought.

Lucas must have forced her. He had to have.

But she had clearly leaned in first...

Grant's chest heaved. An unprecedented, scalding agony ripped upward from the bottom of his heart, searing his eyes red and turning his knuckles white.

Did he believe it? Or not?

The two conflicting realities waged a bloody war in his mind. It felt like invisible hands had clamped onto his sanity, ripping it in opposite directions until he felt he would be torn perfectly in half.

Meanwhile, the Maybach was already driving off, its red taillights shrinking into the dark city streets.

At that moment, a sterile, mechanical voice suddenly pinged in Sienna's mind.

[Grant Gauthier's obsession increased by 20. Current obsession level: 50%]

[A perfect 100% signifies a successful conquest.]

[Upon completion, Host's lifespan will be fully restored, and the reward item—The Infinite Onyx Card—will be granted.]

She had heard The System Protocol mention the item before. It was a credit card with absolutely no limit and no repayment required.

Possessing it meant wielding bottomless, infinite wealth.
