Chapter: Chapter 22: Hi, KittyThe week went by quickly, and surprisingly, Dante didn’t show up again. Danika focused on her work, keeping things normal and trying not to think too much about everything that had happened. Now it was the weekend. At the moment, she was on a video call with her daughter, smiling softly as the little girl talked excitedly about school. “Mummy, I came first in my test,” her daughter said proudly. “Really?” Danika’s face lit up. “That’s my smart girl.” “Yes! And my teacher said I should keep it up,” she added. “I’m so proud of you,” Danika said warmly. “Did you eat your food?” “Yes, Grandma gave me rice,” she replied. Danika laughed softly. “Good. Make sure you listen to Grandma, okay?” “I will… Mummy, when are you coming?” the little girl asked, her voice softer now. “Very soon,” Danika replied gently. “Just be a good girl for me, alright?” “Okay, Mummy. I miss you.” “I miss you too, baby.” They shared a small smile before Danika ended the call, her heart feel

Chapter: Chapter 21: I Missed that SoundThen a voice spoke. Deep. Familiar. Too familiar. “I didn’t think you’d forget me so easily…” Danika froze. “…after giving you a hard fuck.” Her hands stilled as her eyes slowly lifted to meet his reflection in the mirror. Dante. For a moment, she couldn’t speak—just like that night. Her mind went blank. Did this man put a spell on me or what…? She forced herself to breathe, trying to regain control. When she finally spoke, her voice betrayed her, coming out uneven. “I think… you’re in the wrong place. This is the female restroom.” Dante’s lips curved slightly. “Oh, kitty… we both know I’m not lost.” The nickname sent a shiver down her spine. Danika swallowed hard, her grip tightening on the edge of the sink. Before she could react, he stepped closer. In one swift movement, he had her pinned lightly against the sink counter, the cold marble pressing against her back. She tried to push him away, but he didn’t budge—he was solid, unmoving. Seriously?

Chapter: Chapter 20: Earth to Danika...Danika’s POV Danika stepped into the meeting room with her head slightly lowered, quietly closing the door behind her. For a moment, she hesitated before lifting her gaze, searching for Mr. Ethan. But her eyes landed on someone else. A man sat at the head of the table— in the room. His posture was relaxed yet commanding, his expression unreadable as he stared directly at her. Danika’s steps slowed. Wait… could that be him? Her mind immediately flashed back to Tessa’s words. Dante De Belladonna… Her heart skipped. Is that really him? She quickly looked away, trying to compose herself, and continued toward Ethan. The soft click of her heels echoed in the quiet room. “I’m sorry for the interruption,” Ethan said, addressing the room calmly. “She’s the one I asked to bring the file.” Danika stopped just behind him, holding the documents carefully. Ethan took them from her and leaned slightly closer. “You can go,” he said quietly. She nodded, lowering her head poli

Chapter: Chapter 19: Take a Picture it will Last LongerCATHERINE POV What is this?” she snapped, her voice rising before she could stop herself. Coffee. Brown liquid had spread across the files she had been working on, soaking into the papers and leaving ugly stains behind. Her gaze shot to the nearest person. “Who did this?” The staff around her went quiet, exchanging uneasy glances. One of the intern stepped forward hesitantly. “I—I’m sorry… it was an accident. I didn’t see the files there when I placed the cup.” “An accident?” Cat repeated, her anger barely contained. “Do you even know how important these documents are?” Her fingers tightened at her side as she fought to control her temper, but the frustration was already written all over her face. After a moment, Cat took a steady breath and forced herself to calm down. “Go and call the cleaner,” she said firmly. Within minutes, the cleaner arrived with a bucket and cloth, quickly getting to work. She carefully wiped the desk, trying her best to clean up the spille

Chapter: Chapter 18: No Turning Back The following day, Danika woke up earlier than usual. She stretched slightly before reaching for her phone and dialing her parents’ number. “Hello, Mom,” she said softly as the call connected. “Danika! You’re up early,” her mother replied. “Hmm… I just woke up,” Danika said, her voice still a little sleepy. Her father’s voice came in from the background. “How are you? Hope you slept well.” “I’m fine,” she replied, smiling. “I just thought I should call before getting ready for work.” Her mother chuckled. “So, how is the new job? You didn’t even call us properly yesterday.” Danika let out a small laugh. “Yesterday was a bit stressful, but… it went well. I was nervous at first, but the place is nice, and the people are okay.” “That’s good,” her father said proudly. “You’re getting used to it already.” Danika hesitated for a second. “Is Emily awake? Can I talk to her?” “Ah, she’s still sleeping,” her mother replied softly. “You know how she is in the morning.” Dani

Chapter: Chapter 17: ApologiesBy the time they arrived at the restaurant, it was already 7 p.m. The place was lively, filled with soft music and laughter. They all settled around a large table, ordering different kinds of food and drinks. Some went for alcohol—Tessa especially—while Danika stuck to something non-alcoholic. It wasn’t just Lina, Tessa, Maya, and Nora; a few of their male colleagues joined as well, making the atmosphere even more fun. Conversations flowed easily, laughter echoed around the table, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Tessa, as usual, was at the center of it all—talking, teasing, and keeping everyone entertained. Time flew by without them noticing. By 9 p.m., they began to wrap things up. One by one, they said their goodbyes and headed out. A few of them were already tipsy—Tessa being the most obvious. “I’m fiiiine,” Tessa insisted, her words slightly slurred as she leaned on Lina. “You’re not fine,” Lina said, holding her steady. “Come on.” Lina helped Tessa into
