The Ultimate Cut After the 99th Plunge

2026-03-04

On the shore, my fiancée Hailey Trent held a megaphone: "One more take!" I crawled out of the icy sea for the ninety-ninth time, running a fever of 39 degrees. The assistant urged me, "Mr. Hilton, you can't jump in again—you'll collapse!" During a break, I overheard her whispering with the assistant director: "Since he stole Yusuf Lopez's award, I'm determined to bring him down!" My blood seemed to freeze instantly throughout my body. I dialed my grandpa's number, my voice unnervingly calm: "Withdraw the investment. Immediately. All of it!" I walked up to Hailey Trent and said, "I'm not doing this scene anymore." She frowned. "Hunter Hilton! What trouble are you stirring up this time?" "What about my film if you quit now?!" I shrugged her off and stared at her. "Your film?" I stepped closer. "Do you really think this is the only thing you got from me?"收起

Chapter 1 of "The Ultimate Cut After the 99th Plunge"

The December sea wind carried shards of ice, slashing at my face like knives. I stood on the rocks, my blue costume soaked by the waves, clinging tightly to my body; the cold seeped through my pores and burrowed into my bones. "One more take!" Hailey's voice came from the shore, the loudspeaker carrying her commands through the wind with unmistakable authority. This was the ninety-ninth time. From dawn till dusk, I plunged repeatedly into the icy sea, portraying a desperate man casting himself into the waves. Each time I climbed ashore, my assistant Wesley would instantly wrap me in a thick down jacket and hand me ginger tea. But my body was still frozen stiff, my temples pounding, dizziness overwhelming me. "Mr. Hilton, you look awful. Why don't you talk to Ms. Trent and ask to postpone the shoot until tomorrow?" Wesley's voice was thick with concern as he reached out and touched my forehead. "You're burning up—you have a fever!" I waved him off and forced down the ginger tea in one gulp. The burning liquid slid down my throat but couldn't thaw the icy chill clutching my chest. Hailey Trent is my fiancée. She has devoted three years of her life to this film. I just won Best Actor and wanted to help her make a name for herself. This hardship is nothing. But as I wrapped myself in a down jacket, curling up in the corner of the rest shelter waiting for makeup touch-ups, the wind lifted a gap in the canvas, and Hailey's conversation with the Assistant Director drifted inside. "Ms. Trent, Mr. Hilton already has a 39-degree fever. If we keep shooting like this, he might be ill." The Assistant Director's voice was hesitant. Hailey sneered, her tone laced with impatience: "That's pretty good. Let him be ill. Who told him to snatch Yusuf's award?" My hand froze abruptly; the ginger tea spilled on my pants, but I didn't feel the heat. "The Best Actor award was supposed to go to Yusuf. If Hunter didn't have someone backing him, why would it be his turn?" Hailey's voice turned colder: "These 99 sea jumps are both a lesson for him and a way to vent Yusuf's frustration." The Assistant Director sighed, "But after all, you're about to marry Mr. Hilton; doing this..." "Marry?" Hailey cut him off, her voice dripping with undisguised contempt. "I've gotten where I am today through my own abilities; I have nothing whatsoever to do with him. If he weren't still of some use to me, I would have cut ties with him long ago." The wind pushed the tent curtains wider, and I caught a glimpse of Hailey's profile as she turned away—cold as ice. So all those times I plunged into the icy sea, enduring fever after fever—it was all her "lesson," a way to take out her anger for another man. So the glory of winning the award was, in her eyes, a stain of having been "snatched." A sudden, heavy pain gripped my chest, sharper than the cold bite of the seawater. I leaned against a post and slowly crouched down, uncontrollable coughing erupting from my throat.

My Wife's Vow to Another Man

I found a DV tape my best friend Jim Hill left in my storage room. As soon as I pressed the power button, the sound inside made me freeze. "Susan." He whispered her name, "We'll be together forever, right?" On the screen, my wife Susan Sanchez leaned in and kissed his Adam's apple: "Of course, I intend to be with Jim forever." "What if you break the vow?" Jim Hill asked. "If I break the vow," she blinked at the camera, smiling brightly, "then I, Susan Sanchez, will never get happiness for the rest of my life." The DV slipped from my hands, crashing to the floor with a harsh sound. Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open. Susan...

My Husband's Legacy

I endured every hardship with him, yet in his will, he left all the money to his female assistant. Outside the emergency room, the doctor urged me to sign the surgery consent forms to save him, but I calmly refused.

Revenge for My Cat

When I rushed home clutching the canned tuna, the cat climbing frame on the balcony was completely empty—usually by this time, Ginger would be swaying her orange tail, waiting for me. The cat bowl by the entrance still had half a serving of cat food. I searched under the sofa and behind the curtains, even found her favorite yarn ball, yet the round, plump figure was nowhere to be seen. The study door suddenly opened, and Cameron Green stood there with Willow Taylor leaning against him, wearing his white shirt. She chuckled softly and said, "That cat was too noisy. Cameron found it annoying and has already dealt with it." I stared at the photo Cameron Green handed me—Ginger was...

The Disrespected Wife

I never imagined my marriage could be shattered by a game of Truth or Dare. When Kathy Zimmerman smiled at my husband Adam Green and said, "If I'm still unmarried by 30, I'll have your child," the air in the entire living room went cold. Everyone was waiting for my reaction, including the man I once believed would protect me forever — and he just smiled and said she was only joking. That's when I realized, some "female friends" never really just want to be friends.收起

Betrayal in the Details

The sunlight on our seventh wedding anniversary morning was as warm as it had been on our wedding day seven years ago. But I was awakened by pain—not in my heart, but in my stomach, as if an icicle were piercing downward. Grandmother's voice still echoed in my ears from the dream: "Veronica, he has changed his heart." I opened my eyes to find three women sitting in the room: my close female friend, the girl he sponsors, and his most trusted assistant. Grandmother said, "That woman is among the people you see the moment you open your eyes."收起

The Business Spy

The moment the phone rang, my world turned upside down. The customer service voice on the other end was polite but cut like a knife straight through my heart—my wife, Quincy Shawn, had actually bought airline accident insurance for another man, Calvin Jones! I stared at the two flight ticket details side by side on my computer screen, my heart a tangled mess of emotions. She clearly said she was the only one going on the business trip, so who the hell is this Calvin Jones? What's worse, this guy is her intern...收起

The White Tulip's Lie

I was trimming champagne roses when suddenly, the words "white tulips" pricked my ears. Looking up, I saw Daniel standing against the backlight. His sharp, well-tailored suit made my eyes ache. "Whitney? Is it really you?" He took a step forward. "The flowers are eighty," I said, lowering my eyes to wrap the bouquet, pretending not to recognize him. He slammed down a yellowed photo—one where I was leaning on his shoulder. "You said white tulips were just like our love!" "I got married three years ago," I pushed the bouquet toward him. "My husband gave me this shop." He grabbed my wrist; his palm was terrifyingly hot. "You're lying to me! This was our favorite place—you never let go...

A Heaven Without You

I fell from the eighteenth floor, yet began to float in midair. Looking down, I saw Julia White kneeling beside a pool of blood, her fingertip nearly touching my untied shoelace. She cried out my name, her voice breaking like shattered glass. When her spirit caught up with me, tears still glistened on her face. "Cyrus Lowry... we can finally—" "We can't." I cut her off; the little dog's spirit in my arms radiated a warm glow. She froze, her outstretched hand stiff in midair. "What?" "The heaven I'm heading to," I said, pointing to the pure light behind me, "has no place for you."收起
