Madison threw wine in my face, dumped me, and gave my CTO job to Logan—right in front of everyone. He put his arm around her. She kissed him. I said, "Seventy‑two hours from now, you'll beg me to come back." They laughed. She dropped my badge into an ice bucket. "Try in your next life," she said. I didn't argue. Because she didn't know—I've already lived through many next lives.
