Chapter 600:
“It means exactly what it says,” he stated, his voice completely devoid of any human warmth. “The penthouse and the ten million dollars are your severance package. It buys your permanent silence, and it buys your permanent exit from my life p>
Alycia’s mind short-circuited. The gilded fantasy she had built in her head shattered into a million pieces.
“No!” she shrieked. She threw the papers onto the table and lunged forward, falling to her knees on the expensive rug. She reached out and desperately grabbed the fabric of Cole’s trousers. “You can’t do this to me!” she sobbed, tears ruining her perfect makeup. “I am the mother of your child! I am the woman Caleb loved! You promised him you would protect me p>
The moment the name left her lips, the air in the room turned lethal.
Cole’s eyes widened. A terrifying, homicidal rage exploded in his chest. He lifted his leg and thrust it backward, ripping his trousers from her grip. The force of the movement sent Alycia sprawling onto the floor.
“Do not ever,” Cole roared, his voice echoing off the high ceilings, “speak his name again p>
Alycia scrambled backward, terrified by the sheer violence in his eyes.
Cole stood over her, chest heaving. He snatched the tablet from the table, swiped the screen on, and shoved it in her face. On it was a detailed timeline — flight manifests, hotel receipts, social media posts geotagged in Ibiza, all from the exact week Caleb had been in Switzerland.
“You think I don’t know?” Cole sneered, his voice dripping with acidic venom. “You think I don’t know that you are a disgusting, lying fraud p>
𝖬𝗈𝗌𝗍 𝗋𝖾𝖺𝖽 𝗍𝗁𝗂𝗌 𝗐𝖾𝖾𝗄 𝗈𝗇
Alycia froze. Her sobbing stopped instantly. Her eyes stared in horror at the irrefutable proof of her deception.
“I know you weren’t the girl Caleb saved in Switzerland,” Cole delivered the fatal blow, his words slicing through her like a scalpel. “You stole someone else’s story. You stole someone else’s identity. You are nothing but a parasite who fed on my grief p>
The truth struck Alycia like a physical blow. Her mouth fell open, but no sound came out. Her ultimate shield — her absolute immunity — had been vaporized.
Cole looked at her horrified face and felt a wave of intense nausea. He had destroyed his marriage. He had tortured June. All for this worthless fraud.
“Sign the papers,” he commanded, his voice dropping back to a cold, dead monotone. “Take the money. And get out p>
He turned and walked toward the front door of the penthouse.
“If the sun rises tomorrow and you are still in the state of New York,” Cole said without looking back, “I will unleash the full weight of the Compton legal department. I will have you and your parents thrown into Rikers Island for fraud, extortion, and animal cruelty. And I will make sure you die in a concrete cell p>
Cole closed his hand around the brass handle of the heavy front door.
“I am clearing out the garbage,” he whispered to the empty air, “so I can go get my wife back p>
He stepped out into the hallway. The heavy door slammed shut behind him with a deafening, final thud.
