In the Wake of Fate Chapter 6 Realization
I ignored Dominic's shouting as I grabbed my bag and left.He always acted high and mighty in front of me. It was as if marrying him was some kind of honor and that I could only enter his research team because of his connections.However, Dominic forgot one thing.In reality, I was well off and had plenty of admirers. In the beginning, Dominic was insecure and feared that I would fall in love with someone else. Thus, he told me to reject all confessions and forbid me from interacting with any male peers.As for the research team Dominic built? Well, the research topic was my idea. I was the one who provided the funding. It was he who sweet-talked me into giving him the research project. Even the two research topics that brought him so much praise before were ideas that I helped him come up with.Thus, he had no right to act all superior in front of me.As I thought about it all, I made a phone call. "Ms. Britney, have you transferred the funds to the lab? I just want you to know
In the Wake of Fate Chapter 7 Cut Ties
When I heard his words, I gritted my teeth and replied, "It was you who left me to die first!"From the accident until now, he had never shown me even the slightest bit of kindness. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so ruthless.I had no intention of arguing with Dominic any longer. So, I immediately blocked all his and his family's contact.Paige had been handed over to the prosecutor's office and was sentenced to seven years in prison. In the meantime, she also had to compensate me with one million.After the trial, I approached her and asked, "Was it fun to use a car accident as a ploy for affection, Paige?"Paige glared at me fiercely and snarled, "You're lucky you are alive and happened to have a hidden camera installed. Otherwise, you would have been the one who lost!"When I heard her words, I smiled. "Is that so? However, it's useless even if you are the final winner. After all, Dominic is poor. Once we get a divorce, he'll be left with nothing. If I die unexpectedly, all m
In the Wake of Fate Chapter 8 Karma
Just as I expected, Dominic started making moves now that he was determined to prove that he could live a better life without me. Thus, he convinced his family to sell their house and cars after failing to secure any new sponsors. They managed to scrounge up about 30 million and invested it fully into his lab.Dominic was working on a chip. If things went well, the patent fees alone would make him a fortune. However, chip research was extremely costly. Thus, the 30 million didn't give him much to work with. In the end, his project was forced to a halt.As a result, the school decided to evict him from the lab without sufficient funding.To make matters worse, his family had grown accustomed to living extravagantly off my support for years, with their high spending habits and disdain for regular jobs. Ever since they were fired from my company, they complained that regular jobs didn't pay enough and continued to laze around as they lived off their savings. When they spent all t
In the Wake of Fate Chapter 1 She Needs Me by Her Side
"Carlee Hood, who do you think Dominic would save if we both crashed? My bet's on me!"The moment five steel bars speared through my body, Paige Ryan, sitting in the passenger seat, calmly pulled her hands back from the steering wheel she had just yanked. She sneered, "Make sure you hang on a little longer, alright? Dying too fast would be such a bore."The rain had been relentless lately, leaving the roads flooded and treacherous.Up ahead, a flash flood came crashing down from the mountain, throwing everything into chaos. I was so focused on navigating the road that I barely noticed her.I never imagined that the student I had been sponsoring, someone I thought I was helping, would harbor such malice toward me.I glared at her, my anger rising.Yet, she didn't even spare me a glance. She was too busy on her phone, calling my husband, telling him to hurry up and rescue her.My husband Dominic Davis' car wasn't far behind ours.The moment he got the call, he rushed over, bravin
In the Wake of Fate Chapter 2 I'm Here to Make an Arrest
I screamed out all my pent-up resentment, my voice cracking as tears streamed into my mouth, leaving a bitter taste.I thought Dominic would finally see Paige for who she really was after everything that had happened.Instead, he snapped, "Paige told me you staged the accident to frame her. At first, I didn't believe it, but now I see it's true. You'd risk lives over jealousy? Carlee, you're so vicious. No wonder my family can't stand you. I'm disgusted. You've disappointed me!"Once he said his piece, he hung up.Who in their right mind would stage an accident at the cost of their own life?I called him again and again, refusing to give up. No answer. Then, I was blocked.The cruelty of it all left me boiling with anger and heartbreak.My emotions hit me like a tidal wave, and I coughed up a mouthful of blood that splattered across the phone and the hospital bed. The metallic taste of it filled my nose, and I felt the sting of betrayal run even deeper.The hospital hallway buz
In the Wake of Fate Chapter 3 Let's End This
Dominic didn't even hesitate. "Endangering public safety? Are you serious? You've completely misunderstood my relationship with Paige and caused that accident on purpose. She's already let it go, and now you want to drag her through the mud by calling the police?"Behind him, Paige sniffled, clinging to his arm like a lost child. "Dominic, thank goodness you trust me and protect me."Her gaze turned to me, filled with sorrow. "Carlee, you gave me a concussion, and I was willing to let that slide. But why won't you stop? Is it because I'm young, successful, and beautiful? Are you so jealous that you feel the need to ruin my life?"Her pitiful sobs made her look even more helpless.Dominic gently wiped away her tears, his expression full of tenderness. Then, he turned to the police."Carlee's been playing you all for fools. She's nothing but a liar; if she says a hundred words, ninety-nine of them are false. I don't care that she's my wife. I won't cover for her anymore. She saw the
In the Wake of Fate Chapter 4 The Real Problem Is You
My best friend, Lauren Riley, was a senior executive at an insurance company. She once told me that after seeing so many payouts, she had heard more than a few stories about husbands killing their wives for the insurance money.Especially women like me—wealthy, with no parents to protect them. I was easy prey for a husband looking to take everything.She had suggested, just to be safe, that I install hidden cameras in my home, aside from the more private areas like the bedroom and bathroom, in case anything ever went wrong.At the time, I thought it was overkill. Never did I imagine those cameras would actually save me.The footage on my phone played, showing what really happened inside the car that day…Paige, knowing full well that a mountain flood had broken out ahead and that the truck next to us was carrying heavy steel bars, still reached for the steering wheel, her face twisted in malice.What followed was the scene I would never forget—five steel bars pierced through my b
