After the betrayal of Luciferel, and having to deal with the Nephilim problem God made a few changes to how Heaven was run. Time does not quite flow the same in Heaven, so God was able to draw inspiration from millennia of human history. In the end, God chooses to structure things like a mega-corporation with him as the CEO and his archangels acting as department heads. To keep the threat of another angel rebellion to a minimum, every few years the angels would be ordered to change departments. To ensure that things ran smoothly and that the communication between departments happened in a timely fashion a Heaven-wide internet was established called Godnet. Due to an accident caused by mistaken identity, John Smith was killed by an angel on her first day in the Department of Death. By the time she released her mistake, it was far too late to "just" put him back in his own body. In an effort to correct her mistake the angel tried to have John Smith be reborn in the universe she originally was supposed to have a John Smith die in. The Angel was originally in IT for Godnet so she thought that it would be not too difficult to hide her little oops by altering a few records. However, she got a call from Upper Management during the process of having John be reborn. Figuring the " proper" department would step in to finish the process, the angel left to report to upper management, not wanting to receive an even bigger punishment than what she was already going to receive. In her rush to leave, she forgot to close down the connection to Godnet.

Ethan Smith ging die leere Straße entlang, die Zigarette im Mund, schüttelte den Kopf und zwang sich zu einem bitteren Lächeln. Wer hätte sich vorstellen können, dass nach drei Jahren Ehe nur noch Verrat übrig war? Er schwor sich, diese Frau bereuen zu lassen, was sie getan hatte, und versprach, allen, die gut zu ihm gewesen waren, ein gutes Leben zu ermöglichen. Ja, es war Emily Taylor, die Frau, die ihm über den Abgrund der Verzweiflung hinweggeholfen hatte, als er am tiefsten Punkt seines Lebens angelangt war. "Emily, es wird Zeit, dass ich mich um dich kümmere."

Ethan Smith berjalan di sepanjang jalan yang sepi, rokok di mulut, menggelengkan kepalanya dan memaksakan senyum pahit. Siapa sangka setelah tiga tahun menikah, yang tersisa hanyalah pengkhianatan?

Ya, itu dia Emily Taylor, wanita yang membantunya keluar dari jurang keputusasaan saat dia mencapai titik terendah dalam hidupnya. "Emily, saatnya aku menjagamu."

Ethan Smith caminó por la calle vacía, cigarrillo en boca, sacudiendo su cabeza y forzando una amarga sonrisa. ¿Quién podría haber imaginado que después de tres años de matrimonio, todo lo que quedaba era traición? Juró hacer que esa mujer lamentara lo que había hecho y prometió hacer que todos los que habían sido buenos con él vivieran una buena vida. Sí, era Emily Taylor, la mujer que lo había ayudado a salir del abismo de la desesperación cuando tocó el punto más bajo de su vida. —Emily, es tiempo de que me ocupe de ti.

Ethan Smith caminhou pela rua vazia, cigarro na boca, balançando a cabeça e forçando um sorriso amargo. Quem poderia imaginar que, após três anos de casamento, tudo o que restava era traição? Ele jurou fazer aquela mulher se arrepender do que havia feito e prometeu fazer todos que tinham sido bons para ele viverem uma vida boa. Sim, era Emily Taylor, a mulher que o havia ajudado a sair do abismo do desespero quando ele atingiu o ponto mais baixo de sua vida. "Emily, é hora de eu cuidar de você."

I was hesitating." "That's a fairly good reason, you've been hesitating for five years. It's time to decide, right?" Amanda Smith looked at him sorrowfully, "I, I have hesitated so long, I've forgotten how to decide." "Oh, no problem, just decide on me. After all, I'm quite good at catching people!"

Losing access to your cryptocurrency wallet is bad enough, but realizing that someone close to you, a person you trusted was behind it? That’s a gut punch I wasn’t prepared for. Unfortunately, that was my reality when I found out my ex-girlfriend had stolen $145,000 from my wallet. The betrayal was real, the access was gone, and I was left staring at my screen in a mix of shock and disbelief. I felt like I had been hit by a digital train, and it wasn’t slowing down anytime soon. Desperation doesn’t begin to describe how I felt. I mean, $145,000? That’s not pocket change! My first instinct was to panic, which I did, quite thoroughly. But after hours of hopeless Googling and probably enough coffee to fuel a small nation, I came across SPIDER WEB SECURITY. At that point, it felt like I’d found a lifeboat in a sea of sharks—and I wasn’t wrong. The moment I reached out, SPIDER WEB SECURITY approached my case like seasoned pros. They didn’t give me false hope or make wild promises, but they assured me that my case was in good hands. And boy, did they deliver. Their team handled my wallet recovery with the kind of precision you’d expect from brain surgeons except, you know, for crypto. They explained their process clearly, kept me informed at every step, and didn’t disappear into the ether like I feared my money had. Their communication was so on point, I almost wished I could hire them to manage my life. Despite the gravity of the situation, the team never lost their professionalism or their sense of empathy. They knew I wasn’t just losing digital coins; I had lost trust in someone close, and that hurt more than anything. But SPIDER WEB SECURITY wasn’t just about getting my $145,000 back. They were about restoring my confidence in the cryptocurrency space. And let’s not forget they did it fast. I wasn’t stuck waiting in limbo, biting my nails down to the bone. And oh, did I mention the price transparency? Not a single surprise fee, no hidden costs, and no vague "we'll let you know" nonsense. They were upfront from start to finish, which was refreshing in a world where everything seems to come with fine print.Long story short, if you’ve been locked out of your crypto, whether it’s from a simple mistake or a betrayal that could rival a soap opera, don’t panic (like I did). SPIDER WEB SECURITY will not only recover your assets but also help you sleep better at night. They certainly did for me.  Email:  Spidercloud@programmer.net Website: www.spiderwebsecurityonline.com Whatsapp: +1 (253) 262‑9580

UPDATES EVERY FRIDAY! “His stomach lurched, and he quelled down all thoughts of retreating to the nearest and darkest alley.
