### Summary
This chapter delves into the contentious backstory of Kyle and Helen's relationship, revealing the circumstances of their separation a decade prior. Through a flashback, it is shown that Helen paid an exorbitant sum—stated to be as high as $100 million—to expunge Kyle's mercenary records, a decision that reportedly left her foundation in debt. This act is framed as the catalyst for their breakup, which culminated in her marrying James Taylor and giving Kyle a comparatively small payment of one million dollars. The revelation has been met with significant reader confusion and criticism, with many deeming Helen's actions a nonsensical and "terrible trade." The financial logic and motivations behind her choice to abandon Kyle for a man who was apparently broke at the time are widely questioned, reinforcing the sentiment that the plot is becoming incoherent. While this backstory provides context for Kyle's past and Helen's subsequent marriage to the story's antagonist, it largely serves to intensify audience frustration with the continued focus on a past romance, further undermining the development of Kyle's current relationship with Iliyan.
