After Three Years as a Deranged Alpha’s Sedative, I Faked My Death Chapter 05
The moment I turned away, I almost burst outÂ
laughing.Â
Perfect.Â
With an on–the–job injury, public humiliation, and emotional distress caused by Selena’s return, my compensation should come to at least threeÂ
million dollars.Â
The next morning, I met Mrs. Black in my hospitalÂ
room.Â
She wore a sharply tailored dark red suit andÂ
placed a cashier’s check on the table beside myÂ
bed.Â
“Three million dollars.”Â
Her voice was cold and completely devoid ofÂ
warmth.Â
“Selena is back, and Adrian is more stable now. HeÂ
doesn’t need you anymore. You’ve done well overÂ
the past three years, and this is the final paymentÂ
you’re owed.”Â
I stared at the check and immediately beganÂ
calculating my total assets.Â
Three million dollars.Â
Added to the salary and compensation I hadÂ
saved over the past three years, it was enough for me to retire for good.Â
“Don’t worry.”Â
Using my left hand, I carefully slipped the check beneath my pillow and looked at her seriously.Â
“Once I take this money, I’ll keep my end of theÂ
deal. Starting today, I’ll disappear completely andÂ
never cause Adrian or Selena any trouble again.”Â
Mrs. Black nodded in satisfaction.Â
“You’d better never show your face again. If I catch.Â
you trying to contact him behind my back…”Â
“You have my word. I’ll leave New York tonight.”Â
As soon as she left, I pulled the IV needle from my arm and began carrying out my plan to fake my death.Â
Simply taking the money and leaving was not safeÂ
enough.Â
If Adrian’s wolf lost control again and he cameÂ
looking for me to put me back to work, Mrs. Black might demand the money back.Â
Even worse, the Pack Council might decide toÂ
silence me permanently to protect the heir’sÂ
reputation.Â
Only if everyone truly believed I was dead would they stop looking for me.Â
Besides, I had endured far too much humiliationÂ
over the past three years, and at the very least, I wanted that arrogant Alpha heir to remember thatÂ
his actions had consequences.Â
Through an identity broker, I obtained a completeÂ
set of documents under a new name.Â
Then I bought a secondhand Ford sedan that wasÂ
nearly ready for the scrapyard.Â
That night, New York was hit by an unusuallyÂ
violent rainstorm.Â
I drove the car, whose brakes had been tamperedÂ
with, onto the George Washington Bridge.Â
In the violent rain and powerful winds, I wrenched the steering wheel and sent the car smashing through the guardrail until half the vehicle hungÂ
over the Hudson River.Â
I took off the coat stained with my own blood andÂ
draped it over the driver’s seatback.Â
Then I smashed the phone containing recordingsÂ
of Adrian humiliating me and tossed it onto theÂ
passenger seat.Â
Once everything was ready, I pulled the foldingÂ
bike from the trunk and pedaled away across theÂ
bridge under cover of the storm and darkness.
