Mr. Fake-Mute's Love Game Ended When I Stopped Playing the Fool novel Chapter 75

Chapter 6

For this man.

For this so–called love.

I lost my first child and the ability to ever have another.

My arms and legs were broken, leaving me with chronic pain that flares up on rainy days.

Even my broadcasting career, the one thing I was proud of–gets destroyed every six months by the man I loved most.

People gave me a nickname–Queen of Public Humiliation.

I’m tired.

So fucking tired.

Cade’s still losing his mind on Willow’s livestream.

But I don’t even look. Just power off my phone, hand my boss a resignation letter, and walk out.

Outside the network building, a sleek black car’s been waiting.

The door opens.

“Liya! My star anchor–you’re finally joining my international network?”

Inside the car, Kai Sterling–blond hair, blue eyes, mixed heritage–throws his arms wide, way too familiar.

I step aside coolly, take the front passenger seat instead, putting distance between us.

Then hold out one hand.

“Give it to me.”

“What?”

“The contract, thirty million after tax, ten percent equity and executive CEO position.”

I don’t sugarcoat it.

Because I’m WORTH that much. In the broadcasting world, my name carries weight.

I just wasted years of opportunities babysitting Cade and his cursed brain.

But now?

I’m divorced. I’m free,

The car pulls away from the building.

Kai laughs, practically bouncing in his seat with excitement.

I roll my eyes and sign the contract.

That night. Ashford Estate’s basement.

Chapter 6

Aaaaah-

A woman’s screams of terror echo again and again.

The staff keeps their heads down, too scared to even breathe loud.

Willow’s five fingers–have been chopped off one by one.

she’s begging like a dying dog.

‘Cade–no, Mr. Ashford–please! I’m sorry!”

‘I shouldn’t have been a homewrecker, I shouldn’t have seduced you!”

‘Please let me go! I’ll disappear! I’ll never set foot in Manhattan again!”

she still doesn’t get it.

How she went from princess to prisoner in the span of one day.

Cade’s voice is ice. “You made me hurt Liya. She divorced me because of YOU.”

You think losing a few fingers is enough to make my precious wife forgive me and come back?”

A camera’s recording everything.

The footage uploads to the internet in real time.

Along with it–Willow’s entire history.

How she slept with three or four crew managers just to land a non–speaking extra role.

How she dropped out of high school and sold her body on the streets before clawing her way into acting.

fer “perfect girl” image? A total lie.

The internet turns on her instantly,

fer fans abandon her. Even her most obsessive supporters now swear–if they ever catch that slut Willow, she won’t get away alive.

Liya! Baby! I know you’re still mad at me.”

But I’ve punished Willow. She’s paying for what she did.”

Please come back. Don’t divorce me. I can’t lose you.”

After finishing my final performance script, I casually scroll through trending topics and stretch lazily.

Kai sent me 9,999 roses are still sitting in the trash room.

Cade just posted a ten million dollar reward for information on my whereabouts.
