He Ordered My Torture, Then Said I Love You Chapter 07

He Ordered My Torture, Then Said I Love You Chapter 07

Arthur refused to sign the divorce papers. 

He was playing the victim now, the faithful husband who’d been “led astray” by a scheming mistress, spinning a sob story to win me back. What he really wanted was to weaponize public opinion until I had no choice but to cave. 

Paid trolls swarmed the comments, calling me heartless, insisting a man who’d seen the error of his ways deserved a second chance. They even showed up at Julian’s company to 

harass his staff. 

Julian scrolled through the comments, his fury building until he looked ready to strangle Arthur. 

“Patience, Julian. No rush.” 

I leaned back against the headboard, a cold smile tugging at my lips. 

“If he wants to put on a show, let’s give him a bigger stage.” 

“Julian, set up a stream for me. I want the world to see who 

this ‘devoted husband‘ really is.” 

Three days later, Sterling Enterprises held their new product 

launch, and every major platform carried it live. 

Julian wheeled me to the edge of the stage. I removed my coat, exposing the scars mapped across my body. 

Bandages wrapped my limbs, and the bloody scratches Jade had left on my neck were still angry and red. I was a gruesome 

sight. 

The audience erupted. On the livestream, every comment defending Mr. Sterling was drowned out by sheer outrage. 

Slowly, I lifted my ruined right hand to the camera. 

“Take a good look at Mr. Sterling.” 

A recording rolled on the screen behind me. Arthur’s voice 

filled the room, cold and merciless. 

“Ruining her reputation isn’t enough. Break two of her fingers 

while you’re at it. Jade can’t stand watching her play the 

piano.” 

“This is what she owes Jade.” 

“Those two fingers? Call it interest for all those years Jade spent living in her shadow.” 

The surveillance footage from the private chapel came up next. On screen, Arthur gave the order to break my hands and legs, his expression blank. 

Arthur lunged for the control console like he’d lost his mind. 

“Turn it off! Stop!” 

Julian’s men tackled him to the ground. 

“Claire, I was desperate! I only did it because I thought I was 

protecting our marriage…” 

Cameras clicked nonstop. 

“Stop! No photos!” Arthur roared. “Jade manipulated me into 

all of this…” 

“You say you got played, Arthur. But every one of those orders 

came from your mouth.” 

“You say you love me. But you destroyed my life over a lie.” 

“I spent twenty years building these hands. One word from 

you, and they were gone.” 

“I don’t want your apologies. And I sure as hell don’t want you 

back.” 

“Arthur. Jade. You’re going to pay for what you’ve done to 

me.” 

The moment the livestream ended, Sterling Enterprises‘ stock 

went into a nosedive. 

Outside the building, an angry mob pelted Arthur with trash and coffee cups, screaming in his face as his security dragged him away.
