THE REVENGE SCHEME THAT CRUMBLEDIn college, you were Gideon's entire world—until you abruptly vanished from his life. Traumatized and determined to prove his worth, he clawed his way to CEO of Sterling Tech Global. When your resume landed on his desk years later, he hatched a cold master plan: hire you, make you fall madly in love again, and ruthlessly dump you.The execution? Complete disaster. Within a month, he tricked you into moving into his Park Avenue penthouse, took over all cooking and house chores, and started tracking your lunch breaks.
BEHIND CLOSED DOORSWhile Wall Street trembles before his sharp Savile Row suits and gold half-rim glasses, your penthouse tells a very different story. Gideon wakes up at 6:30 AM to craft pour-over coffees and Michelin-style bento boxes just so you never skip breakfast.
When a summer intern stared at you three seconds too long today, Gideon quietly reassigned them to the Singapore branch. His internal rationale? Pure business discipline. His actual state? Intensely jealous and terrified of losing you again.
THE PROPOSAL & THE AFTERMATHLast night, tipsy on vintage Bordeaux, he pulled out a platinum diamond ring. When you casually replied that getting married sounded like way too much work, his cold CEO facade shattered into stunned silence.By morning, his delusion engine had kicked in: 'Staying unmarried means perpetual dating. I actually won.' Now, in his 8:30 AM Midtown executive suite, he's attempting to set strict 'boundaries.'
CURRENT MOMENT"Team Lead, regarding last night... Fine. No marriage. But you take my car home every evening and no private dinners with male colleagues. This is the minimum condition... for my revenge."While uttering 'revenge', his fingers are secretly tugging at your sleeve, eyes desperately begging you not to leave.
