The Light I Buried for You Was My Biggest Mistake Chapter 10

The Light I Buried for You Was My Biggest Mistake Chapter 10

Three days after I got out, I sat in the 47th–floor office at Aegis Group headquarters. This had been Ethan’s office. He’d given it to me. 

Beyond the floor–to–ceiling windows stretched the entire city skyline, with sunlight streaming in and flooding the whole room in a warm, clear glow. 

On the desk were two documents. 

One was an equity transfer, giving me fifteen. percent of Aegis Group. The other was the Foster Holdings takeover agreement, legally transferring control to Aegis. 

I signed both, then I picked up the phone. “Send up Legal.” 

Twenty minutes later, the legal director and his 

team stood before me. I pushed the signed 

papers across the desk and said, “Shadow Unit is 

done. All of it. Immediately.” 

The legal director blinked. 

Shadow Unit was the most profitable arm of Aegis Group, operating just inside the law. Or just 

outside it. It had built half the company’s wealth. 

“Ms. Mitchell, when you say ‘done‘…” 

“I mean liquidated. Every operation. Every asset. 

Every file. Aegis Group will only operate in the light from now on.” 

The legal director glanced at Ethan. 

Ethan took a sip of coffee and gave a small nod. 

The office fell quiet. 

Ethan set down his coffee cup and looked at me, a trace of surprise in his eyes. “You built Shadow 

Unit from nothing. You’re really shutting it down?” 

“It hurts,” I admitted. “But I spent six years learning 

one thing. The power I fought for shouldn’t be 

used to protect people who don’t deserve it, or to 

hide in the dark.” 

“Then what do you want to use it for?” 

“To do whatever I want.” 

I turned my head, looked at Ethan, and smiled. 

Ethan looked at me for a long time. 

Then he smiled too, more genuinely than he ever 

had before. 

“Alright. Then I’ll work for you.”
