My executive boyfriend, Marcus Winters, had always wanted the regional president seat. Then his favorite protégée, Sophie Moresby, complained that I always got the spotlight, and he deliberately sabotaged my car. The crash broke both my hands, leaving me unable to compete in the design contest that could decide the board vote. He handed my entry slot to Sophie and expected me to accept it quietly. When I confronted him, he said it was only one competition and that, as design director, I should give younger employees a chance. To prove his "fairness," he stripped me of my director title and docked six months of my pay to compensate the team. Everyone waited for me to fight back. Instead, I nodded, calm and silent. Marcus was pleased. He promised that once his promotion came through, he would restore my position and publicly announce our relationship. I smiled coldly and told him we were done. I had already submitted my resignation. What Marcus did not know was that the board and I had made a private agreement: if I won the championship and secured the decisive vote, the person I named would become regional president. I had been preparing to name him. Now he had not only replaced me with Sophie, but also encouraged her to submit a fraudulent design. Once the contest ended, the only thing waiting for him was termination, a ruined career, and a bill he could never afford.

The Promotion Built on My Broken Hands Chapter 12
But some things could not be forgiven with one apology.He broke both my hands for Sophie. One apology would not make my hands whole again.Thinking of that, I refused coldly."Give up. I won't forgive you."I thought that after I said it so plainly, he would finally wake up.Instead, he pulled out a ring."Julia, then marry me."Let's start over with a new identity. This time I swear I'll never break your heart again."Julia, please?"Looking at the familiar ring, I clenched my fists.Not long ago, Sophie had shown off an identical ring.Marcus had given it to her as a birthday gift.Now he was using the same ring to propose to me.Did he really think I was stupid?I laughed softly."Marcus Winters, do you think playing with me is fun? Does it make you feel accomplished?"You're proposing to me with the same ring you gave Sophie. Do you have a heart at all?"Marcus's face immediately filled with embarrassment.His expression changed sharply. He wiped away his tears a

Marcus looked around and his gaze landed on the medicine.He opened it and saw that it was stomach medication.He was about to call the hospital and accuse them of prescribing the wrong thing.Then he remembered that I did have a stomach condition.I had once been hospitalized after staying up late and drinking with clients for work.But had my stomach not recovered long ago?That had been my lie.My stomach had never healed. It had only grown worse.I never told him because I was afraid he would feel guilty.Back then, I needed results to establish myself in the company, and I needed to prove that I could take care of him.During that period, almost every hour I had went into work.All so he could feel a little more secure.I looked down at the new cast on my arm and smiled helplessly.Perhaps in his eyes, everything I had done had been meaningless.I turned toward the view rushing backward outside the cab window and said calmly,"Driver, could you open the window for m

Seeing the board chair hesitate, Marcus immediately brought up the year he worked himself into the hospital for the company.He begged the board chair to consider his years of effort, if not his achievements, and spare him this once.After a long silence, the board chair finally nodded."I can give you one more chance, but there is one condition. You must complete..."Before he could finish, Marcus interrupted him, trembling with excitement."I agree. Whatever the condition is, I agree."But when the board chair stated the condition, the joy that had just risen on Marcus's face vanished."Marcus, if you can persuade Julia to return to the company, I'll let this matter pass."You can resume your original post, and I can withdraw the compensation demand."But if you can't convince Julia within three days, the agreement is void. You'll still be terminated and held responsible for the company's losses."Marcus hesitated when he heard the first half.But after hearing the second

The board chair stopped me, his voice full of regret."Julia, are you truly not willing to stay?"If you agree to stay, I won't have to hesitate about who should take the president seat."With your talent, you never should have remained only a director."As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and sighed deeply.I shook my head and refused.He continued with regret, "Very well. I can't force you. You have your own choice. I hope we still have a chance to work together in the future."Collins, see Julia out."I thanked the board chair, then walked away without looking back.Marcus still stood there, stunned.He had sensed something from the board chair's words, but he did not dare face it.Seeing that Marcus still refused to understand, the board chair finally revealed the private agreement between us."Marcus, both you and Julia were talents I valued. It pains me to see things end this way."You still don't know, do you? Julia and I had an agreement."If she won the
