I spend a decade as the woman behind Corey Larson. I help him save his company from the brink of bankruptcy and turn it into a public-listed company. He's on the cusp of success, and I'm about to propose to him. That's when he brings his childhood sweetheart into the picture to take my place. He thanks me for my decade of hard work. Then, he tells me I'm no longer a good fit for the company as it's about to embark on a new journey. I stare at him. I've loved him for ten years and given him my everything, but he brushes me off with a bank card. My blood turns to ice. The decade I've spent with him has ultimately gone down the drain. He doesn't seem to realize the consequences, though. Once I quit and leave, his company will cease to exist… just like my love for him.

He Owes Me the World Chapter 12
Corey's POV:Priscilla was gone.I had completely lost the woman who had loved me for ten years, the one who once risked her life to protect me.In this familiar restaurant, she once told me she would be my guardian for life and would happily choose to stay by my side forever.At the time, I thought to myself that what else could I possibly want with a woman like her by my side?But now, I realize that forever was too long. I managed to lose her with my own hands in just ten years."I thought you two…" Arielle, who had come to clear the dishes, couldn't help but sigh.I could no longer hold it together. Tears started falling uncontrollably, and I choked up as I looked at Arielle, who had witnessed my ten years together with Priscilla."I really want to start over with her, Ms. Hendrix. Why won't she give me another chance?"Arielle shook her head helplessly. "I may not know what happened between you two, but she's right. Some things and people, once lost, can never be regained

I nodded. "I guess so. But honestly, it doesn't matter anymore."Corey shook his head. "No, that's not it. At the time, I thought Jayda could bring better development to the company since she had just returned from abroad. I didn't realize…"At that point, he gripped his hair in frustration."You're right. I didn't grow over the last ten years. I lost myself under your protection. In the end, I was manipulated by Jayda with just a few words, ruining the Larson Technologies you built."I was a little surprised. I hadn't expected there to be such a backstory to what happened, but it didn't matter now.Noticing my silence, Corey continued, "Do you remember when you fought off those thugs to protect me?"How could I forget?Now, even a little physical labor would leave me winded. That whole event was to blame. The only reason Larson Technologies survived was because of the 200 thousand dollars compensation from that incident."After they rushed you into the emergency room, the doct

Before I knew it, the year was nearing its end, and work was exceptionally busy. After working late until midnight, I suddenly craved ravioli from the east side of town and decided to drive there.The place was hidden away in a quiet alley, known for its exceptional flavors. Open late into the night, it had become a favorite among the local office crowd."Hey, it's been almost a year since I last saw you. Been busy with work lately?"The owner, Arielle Hendrix, greeted me warmly as I walked in. Her words reminded me that I used to come all the time with Corey, but after leaving him and the company, I hadn't set foot here again. It had been a year indeed.I smiled faintly. "Yeah, work's been busy. One plate of ravioli, please."The familiar setting tugged at old memories.This place had witnessed countless late-night brainstorming sessions with Corey. Whenever we got hungry, we'd come here, grab a quick bite of ravioli, and then head back to finish the proposals."Pris, why would

Mentioning the past only served to ignite my fury."So you do know I poured my heart into Larson Technologies for ten years because I loved you. And yet, how did you treat me? "You let your first love take my place as the company was going public, joined forces with her to humiliate me, and kicked me out of the company."Yes, I admit that you never openly showed your feelings for me. It was all my own assumption. But have you ever thought about how cruel it was to hurt someone who loved you with all their heart?"And now, after your beloved ruins the company and runs off, you think of me again? Corey, who do you take me for? You dumped me when Jayda returned. Now that she's gone, you crawl back to me. Don't you find your behavior disgusting?"Corey finally broke down. He wrapped his arms around me from behind as he wept uncontrollably. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was wrong. But things are not what you think. I just wanted to—"I forcefully pushed him away and cut him off coldly, "E

After hanging up the phone, I remained silent.Actually, when I found out that the company had failed to go public, I had already expected this outcome.I was the type of person who would give everything for love and would clear every obstacle for the person I loved.Over the years, I did everything I could for Corey because of my love for him. He was nothing more than a hands-off CEO. All his successes were the result of my hard work and sacrifice.Without me, he would still be the same helpless and clueless young man who had lost his parents ten years ago, facing a group of creditors.If Jayda had any real talent, that would be one thing, but she was a fool. If she continued running things in Larson Technologies, its collapse would only be a matter of time.The thought that the company I had worked so hard to build over ten years might eventually go under made my heart ache. I never imagined it would happen so soon.A month later, news broke online that a batch of organic milk

Larson Technologies and ByteForge Solutions were both involved in network operations and promotions. Together with two other companies, we were invited by the client to present our proposals in person.In the elevator, I ran into Corey for the first time in six months. Though still hot, he looked worn out. Jayda was following closely behind him. When she saw me, she frowned, and her expression became cold.Corey's face showed a mix of emotions when he saw me. He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something. But in the end, he didn't speak, only letting out a soft sigh.When he had kicked me out of the company in such a humiliating manner, I had thought I would hate him if we ever met again. But now, standing before him, I didn't hate him. My feelings were complicated.I couldn't quite understand why I couldn't hate him. I just felt as if fate had played a cruel trick on me. The man I once swore to stay with for a lifetime was now standing on the opposite side.As expecte

I tossed my employee badge onto the desk and pushed the door open as I walked out.As for the check, I didn't even glance at it. I would just consider my ten years of effort as wasted!"Enough is enough! I'm done! I'm going with you, Priscilla!""Priscilla, you were the one who brought me up! If you leave, what's left for me to do here?"Reyna, along with the other senior employees, was in an uproar. They all insisted on leaving with me. In the end, I managed to calm them down.The current working environment was tough. Many of them had families to support, along with mortgages and car loans to pay off. I didn't even know where I was going next, so how could I drag them down with me?As I stepped out of the Larson Technologies building, I couldn't help but glance back at the huge sign on the building. Tears welled up in my eyes.For the past ten years, I had done everything for this company. I had once chugged alcohol to the point of stomach perforation just to secure a deal, ev

I scoffed. "Employee? Ten years of hard work, and I almost died. In the end, I was nothing but an employee to you?""Priscilla, you're the biggest fool in the world! You're stupid and naive!" Corey grew impatient. "Can you stop going on about your sacrifices? I know you've done a lot for the company, but I'm paying you 100 million dollars. Isn't that enough?""No! Can 100 million dollars buy back the ten years of my youth? Can 100 million dollars undo the lifelong regret of missing my mom's final moments?"I've been left with a mild disability for life because of you. I shake even when carrying a fruit basket. Can 100 million dollars heal that?"You know better than anyone what I've sacrificed for you and what I've lost throughout the ten years. Tell me. Can money buy any of that back?"At that moment, I finally snapped. I screamed at Corey, releasing all the pent-up frustration and anger inside me.I wasn't sure whether he was frightened or just couldn't face me, but his express

Ten years ago, Corey's family business was on the brink of collapse. Thomas had jumped off a building, his mother, Emilee Castaneda, had run off with a man, and the company was drowning in over ten million dollars in debt.At that time, it was just Corey and me trying to save the company, and it seemed impossible.I remembered that on the third day after I joined the company, debt collectors cornered us in the office.A portly man in his 50s, flanked by a group of thugs, pointed at Corey and bared his teeth in a cruel smile. "Kid, don't say I didn't give you a chance."He then pointed at me and said, "Either she spends a year with me, and I'll erase the three-million-dollar debt, or you figure out how to pay it off today. Sell your kidneys, your blood—whatever. I don't care."At that point, the company didn't have a penny to its name. Corey pleaded desperately for more time, but the men were merciless.A dozen of them charged at me to grab me. At that moment, all I could think ab

The conference room was filled with executives. All of them were silent.Many of my colleagues, with whom I'd fought side by side for years, had expressions full of frustration and pity.Seeing their expressions as I walked into the room made me stop in my tracks. I instinctively looked toward Corey Larson, who was seated at the head of the table.The next moment, my heart skipped a beat."Who's this, Cor?" I frowned, pointing to the woman sitting next to Corey at the head of the table. She was in the seat that should've been mine.Ten years ago, Corey's father, Thomas Larson, suddenly passed away. He left Corey with a company burdened by debt.To be closer to my crush, I gave up a high-paying job abroad and joined him without a second thought.Back then, the company was on the brink of collapse, and most of the employees had fled. I was the only one left.I was his secretary, his driver, the copywriter... I did everything. I even took care of his daily needs.To put it simply...
