👈 take him as a doctor 🧑⚕️
Those words hit me harder than any blow I've ever taken.
I sat frozen in the cold, sterile room, my heart hammering against my ribs like it wanted to escape.

I swallowed hard and laughed a bitter, hollow sound.
All those years I spent crushing employees, ignoring my family, putting power above everything else...
Maybe this is what I deserve.
Maybe this is karma catching up with me.
I closed my eyes and the memories flooded in late nights in the boardroom, slamming down contracts without a second thought, the terrified faces of my staff when I pushed too hard.
One night, I snapped at my assistant for a minor mistake, watching his eyes well up with tears.
I told myself it was necessary-that success required sacrifices.
But now, those moments sting like wounds reopened.
I was a monster, and I never realized it until now.
With six months to live, I'm left wondering...
Is it too late to change?
Or am I doomed to fade away, haunted by everything I destroyed?
I sat in my car, engine running, but I wasn't ready to face the world.
The doctor's words echoed relentlessly in my mind - six months. Six months to live.
The empire I had built, the power I wielded, all suddenly felt fragile and meaningless.
My phone buzzed sharply against the dashboard, breaking through the fog.
The screen showed Uncle Marcus calling.
I answered, forcing my voice steady

I blinked, barely registering the words.

I swallowed the lump in my throat.
Even now, the battle for control raged on, and my own blood was sharpening knives behind my back.

As I ended the call, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
Six months or not, I couldn't afford to show weakness-not yet.
I started the engine and pulled onto the road, steeling myself for the war waiting inside those glass towers.
I strode through the bustling lobby of Vireaux Technologies, my heels clicking sharply against the polished floor.
Heads instinctively dropped as I passed. Conversations stopped mid-word.
Even the faintest glances in my direction were quickly averted.
I reached the elevator bank and pressed the button, watching as the doors slid open.
From the corner of my eye, I caught the expression on a junior employee's face - pale, nervous, almost trembling.
She quickly averted her eyes and hurried past me, clutching her tablet like a shield.
A knot tightened in my chest.
I'd always known I was strict, demanding.
But seeing it laid bare like this - the way my presence silenced the room, made people shrink away - it hit harder than I expected.
The elevator chimed and the doors opened.
I stepped inside, eyes scanning the lobby one last time.
All these years, I had ruled through fear. Not respect. Not loyalty. Fear.
