All Chapters of I Sent My Cheating AI Incubus to the Scrapyard: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I was sitting in Lucien's lap, fingertips trailing over his firm abs, my mind wandering somewhere it shouldn't.Just as I started to follow the line of muscle lower, he caught my wrist and pushed me off, his face blank."Pausing intimacy mode. Initiating automatic cleaning mode."It hit like a bucket of cold water, and I lost my balance and dropped onto the couch beside him.Lucien pulled his hand back, his expression cool."Master, please control yourself. Don't cling the second you walk in. Overuse damages my chassis."Then he closed his eyes and went straight to a black screen.I pushed myself upright, equal parts furious and hurt.I'd bought Lucien in the first place because my parents died young, and I'd spent these last few years buried in work, always alone.Then one day a shopping channel ran a segment on AI incubi, and the second Lucien appeared on screen, he had my full attention.He had seductive fox eyes, a high-bridged nose, and the delicate, cat-like curve of his lips. He

In the dead of night, Lucien finally strolled in, impatience in his eyes."You were reckless today. Vivian was just maintaining my system. We didn't actually cross any lines.""Be the bigger person. Stop pushing her to quit, and I'll let you have a little more contact with me."He bent down, leaning in toward my lips.Looking at the mouth that still carried someone else's scent, my throat closed with disgust, and I jerked my head away.Lucien caught nothing but air. He blinked, and his expression turned cold."Still throwing a tantrum? Fine. Then don't expect me to coax you anymore."He spun around and went straight upstairs.A little later he came back down, his face dark."My system needs an upgrade. Buy the latest service package. Now."The package he meant ran five figures, all out of the owner's pocket.The truth was, an AI runs fine without upgrades. But Lucien was always obsessed with seeming high-end, refusing to be lumped in with low-end units, so I'd always upgraded him witho

His eyes were full of blame and disappointment as he looked at me.I sat up against the bed, my voice level and calm."I'm your owner, and I'm Vivian's employer. What I do is my call. You've got no standing to lecture me, and even less to demand an apology."Lucien's face darkened further."Fine. You're getting more unreasonable by the day. Then we'll see who breaks first. Two days, tops, and you'll come crawling back to beg me."He turned like he was leaving, but his feet wouldn't move.He'd overestimated himself.There was nothing left in me holding on, and I had no intention of saying a word.Lucien glanced back, stunned, malice crawling over his whole face, then stopped hesitating and stalked out in a fury.The room finally went quiet, and I settled in to wait for the staff that afternoon to end all of it.Scrolling idly through my phone, I saw a push notification pop up and nail me in place.The news was wall-to-wall photos of me in skimpy lingerie, curled against Lucien.His face

A few days later, the new model arrived.His name was Elias Hart. He had a baby face, but a steady, reserved temperament that played against it.The moment he stepped inside, he noticed my parents' tablets against the wall, and saw me standing there alone, staring, the loneliness in my eyes.Without a word he found a clean cloth and an incense tray, wiped the thin dust off the tablets bit by bit, straightened the scattered offerings, and set everything neatly in place.Sensing me watching, he stopped, his voice soft and low."You keep staring at the tablets, Master. They must be family who mattered deeply to you, so I tidied up. From now on, leave the daily incense and cleaning to me."In the days that followed, I found that Elias never demanded company the way Lucien had, and never held his own needs over my head.When cramps left me curled on the couch, he'd have warm brown-sugar ginger tea ready and sit quietly nearby. When I went looking for my old allergy meds, he'd already sorted

Barely three days later, Vivian showed up at my door, furious, raising her voice the second she saw me."Lucien's gone missing. He's out wandering the streets, his chassis falling apart with no one to fix it. Do you really not feel one ounce of guilt?""He kept you company all that time. Why do you have to hunt him down to the bitter end and leave him nothing?"Days of stored-up irritation drained the last of my patience."Instead of standing here blaming me, you should worry about yourself."The words had barely left my mouth when the villa doorbell chimed, crisp and clear.Elias stepped over and opened the door, and several uniformed officers walked straight into the living room, their eyes settling on Vivian.I stood to the side and laid out, point by point, the full record of Vivian repeatedly stealing my private property, and told the officers her rented basement was still packed with a large quantity of stolen items she had failed to return.The color drained from Vivian's face i
