Chapter 5
The day had finally come.
Nina had prepared everything. The moment Lucas and Sophie boarded their plane, she directly hacked into the system.
In just a few moments, she completely erased my identity.
All
my information, including every trace of my activities at the company, was completely destroyed by Nina.
Before heading to the airport, I broke my employee ID card in half and threw it in the trash.
From this moment on, Emma was dead, completely dead.
Ironically, this day was my birthday.
I looked at the photo I had sewn into my clothes.
The photo was taken when Lucas first celebrated my birthday with me.
We were both smiling, carefree, full of trust and love:
I picked up a lighter, slowly lit the photo, and let it fall with the wind until it completely turned to ash.
Between Lucas and me, this was the end.

Soon, Lucas received notification of the automatic stock transfer.

idea I had completely vanished from the world.

At this moment, he was still in Malibu, keeping Sophie company while picking out a birthday gift for me.
After getting off the plane, Nina handed me a recording of what Lucas had said to his assistant, Derek Caldwell.
“Get everything ready. When I get back, I’ll give my wife a surprise.
“After she got power, she became unlike herself. She should have calmed down by now.
“When I get back, I’ll give her an unforgettable birthday. Consider it compensation for her.”
I laughed coldly, finding it utterly ridiculous.
He actually still thought there were feelings between us?
Let him think that. When he returned, he would never again find the Emma who once belonged to him.
Emma had left, erasing all traces of her existence, including any way to contact her.
At first, Lucas didn’t notice anything.
He had Sophie by his side the whole time, so he didn’t need to worry about where Emma had gone, even when he first noticed that Emma hadn’t come home for a long time and felt something was off.
But Lucas never even considered that Emma would leave him. He just thought Emma was sulking and would get over it soon enough.
Besides, he had Sophie to keep him company. Without Emma around, the two of them could be completely unrestrained.

One day was fine, so were two days.
And just like that, five days passed.

Lucas began to feel somewhat uncomfortable and started missing Emma.
He was even getting tired of looking at Sophie and finding her boring.
After all, Sophie was really just a fresh plaything to him.
On a whim, Lucas, dialed the number he hadn’t been able to reach for five days.
“The number you have dialed does not exist.”
The cold mechanical voice left Lucas completely stunned.
What was going on?
The number didn’t exist?!
Lucas frantically continued dialing, but got the same message every time.
“Impossible, how is this possible?”
Now Lucas suddenly felt shocked and panicked.
Had Emma really disappeared without a trace?
“Lucas, who are you calling?
“I just bought this dress, do you think it looks good?
“This dress has such soft silk, it tears so easily…”
Just then, Sophie approached Lucas slowly, wearing revealing lingerie.
If this had been before, Lucas would definitely have “punished” Sophie,

but now he had no interest at all. His mind was filled with images of
Emma.
“Stay home by yourself. I have something to take care of.”
Lucas’s face was tense, panic rising in his chest. He stood up to leave.
Sophie immediately panicked.
“Lucas, didn’t you say you’d stay with me?
“You’re leaving me alone at home, I’m scared…”
However, she never expected to be met with Lucas’s dark and terrifying expression.
“I said, wait at home by yourself!”
After saying this, Lucas turned and left.
He didn’t know what was wrong with him. It felt like something was missing from his heart.
“Emma, don’t let me find you!” Lucas thought to himself.
