Chapter: Epilogue Four Years LaterI sat nervously in the chair that was set up on the stage, and although I had this huge smile plastered on my face, no one could tell that I was nervous, well there was one person who could anyway, and he was seated in the front row with our two-year-old son, Aiden. I looked up at him and he smiled at me and mouthed the words "Breathe." Just like that, the thickness that had lodged itself in my chest dissipated and I felt like I could breathe again. "Thank you." I mouthed back to him and he smiled and went back to cuddling our baby in his arms.So allow me to bring you up to speed on everything that has happened in the last four years. After Dad was arrested, he was tried, convicted and sentenced to jail of course and just like Ethan had predicted, he had been sentenced to life imprisonment, without an option of parole of course. It was after that that I was finally given the company. I had presented the copy of the transfer of ownership Mum had done before she die

Chapter: Chapter 123It had been a week since the ball incident, and what that meant was that it had been one whole week of chaos and complete madness to say the least. What Lucy had told us and warned us about, that the press was going to go insane was absolutely true, the press had gone insane that night and it was only because Ethan and Liam had taken the initiative to hire more security men beforehand, that was how we had been able to get everything under control, things would have gotten more insane if it wasn't for that.Dad had been arrested and taken into custody that night, Stephanie had also fainted from shock, following the revelation we made that night. Overall, it was a very dramatic and unforgettable night, and things had only just started. An investigation was immediately launched following the arrest of dad and it was in this process that more of his crimes were brought to light and it was in this process that I myself heard of his numerous other crimes. Not only had he committed murder,

Chapter: Chapter 122"Hello, lovely people." I heard someone greet me from behind me and immediately knew who it was. Emily hugged me from behind and I patted her arms lightly, chuckling at her manner of greeting. After I exchanged pleasantries with both her and Liam, they took their seats, our table was for five people and four were already in attendance, we were expecting just one more person. "Where is Aurora?" I asked her."She's with her grandparents." She answered me and I knew by grandparents, she meant Ethan's mum and dad. "So a little birdie told me this is no ordinary ball." Emily leaned closer to me and whispered in my ears after a while. I gave her a knowing smile as I already figured out where she got the information or from whom she got it, but I wasn't angry or anything like that. Emily was one of my trusted allies and we were in this together. "Well, that little birdie was right," I whispered back to her. "So what are we doing tonight? What is tonight all about?" She asked me, literal

Chapter: Chapter 121"Oh yes, I'm sorry ma'am." She apologized before saying something to the Bluetooth device that was connected to her, "They said it is Mr. Miller, ma'am, your father, he just stepped on the red carpet."A feeling of fear and shock descended on me at first but I just told myself that I wasn't the same person I was last year before I left, I was bolder and more confident now, and I could now stand up to my oppressors and I wouldn't let anyone or anything, bring me down again, I could do this and I was going to do this. "Do you want us to head in first?" Ethan bent down to my level and whispered in my ears, but when I looked up, I looked at him and shook my head."No we can stay, it'd be nice to get an interview with him at least," I told Ethan and he knew what I was doing, I was already putting the plan into execution and he nodded his head to show me that he was in full support of what I was doing.Besides, like I said earlier, I knew the games these reporters played and I had been pla

Chapter: Chapter 120Ethan helped me out of the car and the moment the reporters spotted us they swarmed us like a bunch of bees, luckily for us, Ethan had planned and he had arranged security beforehand. So immediately they swarmed us, the security details around us formed a wall and we were protected from them, "Should we just head in or do you want to grant some interviews?" Ethan asked me, talking loudly over all the noise and camera flashes. Although we had several bulky men who had formed a barrier around us, Ethan still ensured I was protected, he had draped his hand over my shoulder and brought me closer so that my face couldn't be seen by the rest of the public, he was taking my safety very seriously and I was touched by that. "It's fine, I'll grant some interviews," I yelled back to him over all the noise as well."Are you sure? These people are like a bunch of hungry lions right now and they won't go easy on you, are you sure you want to do this? You know you don't have to?" He asked me agai

Chapter: Chapter 119When I did that Ethan groaned out and doubled over, I was scared because his groan sounded like a painful one, I immediately crouched down to his level and I was rubbing soothing circles on his back, "What's wrong babe?" I asked him and he looked up at me before saying, "You." I was confused, and I knew my facial expression must have changed from worried to confused, as Ethan read my face and explained to himself, "that thing you're doing to me is making me feel all sorts of things." He told me. "What thing?" I asked him again, not at all understanding what he was saying. "This thing." He demonstrated and I smiled. "What about this thing?" I asked again and repeated the same action and he groaned out."Stop biting your lips." He told me and I looked up at him through my lashes, and quietly asked, "Or else what?" I asked and this time, he jumped into action, he brought his hands to my lips and released them from the hold of my teeth.I rolled my eyes at his words and pushed him out

He Wants Me Back
“I want you back, Laura.” He muttered, and I looked at him like he had just said the biggest joke in history. He wants me to foolishly accept him with open arms after everything he did to me? He must be dreaming.
“It's too late. I do not want you anymore.” I replied and turned to leave, but he blocked my path.
“I know I hurt you, but if you'd just give me another chance, I promise not to hurt you again. I love you.”
“Keep your feelings to yourself, Antonio. I'm engaged. My wedding is in a month. You're invited!” I threw the invitation at him and walked away.
*****
Laura is shocked when her husband, Antonio, returns from work one day and throws a divorce paper in her face. He already signed it and asked her to sign her part. She had given up everything to be with him, and even though he treated her like trash, she still loved him and was ready to bear the pains that came with the marriage just to be with him, but a divorce paper?
Nah, that was just too much.
When she refuses to sign, Antonio brings another woman into the house, and instantly Laura knows she is no longer needed. Not being able to bear the ache of seeing them together, she leaves but unknown to her, she was pregnant.
5 years later, she was back with an adorable baby boy, but she is no longer the Laura everyone knew.
Her ex-husband wants her back, but it's already too late. She was remarrying.

Chapter: Chapter 12Cole’s POVThere’s a moment just before you do something irreversible, a moment when the air stills, when the world slows, and you ask yourself if you’re sure.Standing there on the balcony, watching Laura in that green dress, her hair swaying gently with the night breeze, I felt that moment crackling in the space between us. And the answer came easily. Yes. I was sure.She wasn’t like the others. And this wasn’t a game.“I’m starting to care about you,” I said, my voice quieter than usual, but heavier with truth.Her breath caught, not visibly, but I felt it, like a subtle shift in pressure. She looked up at me with those wide, uncertain eyes. No pretense. No calculated move. Just raw emotion.I wanted to close the space between us. To feel the warmth of her skin under my fingers, to see if her lips tasted like the champagne she'd sipped earlier. But I held back.Because I knew what this meant.And once I crossed that line, there’d be no going back.We didn’t speak much during the r

Chapter: Chapter 11Laura’s POVThe next few days flew by like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from.Each morning, I arrived early. Each night, I stayed late, not because I had to, but because I wanted to. I was starting to love my job, not just because of the respect or the routine, but because I was finally doing something that mattered. I was useful. I was growing.Cole had become a different person with me.He wasn’t just my boss anymore, he was… something else.More relaxed. More approachable. More present.He started trusting me with bigger responsibilities. I wasn’t just handling his schedule anymore. I was sitting in on vendor meetings, reviewing contracts, giving input during presentations. One afternoon, he asked me to draft a client proposal, and when I handed it over, he reviewed it and said, “Impressive. I barely had to change anything.”I blushed at the praise, though I tried to hide it.But that wasn’t even the most surprising thing that happened that week. It was Friday.The sky was d

Chapter: Chapter 10Laura’s POVThe boardroom was nothing like I had imagined. The ceiling stretched high with recessed lighting, casting a soft glow over the long oval table made of polished mahogany. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the city, and the skyline sparkled like a sea of diamonds against the morning light.Twelve men and women sat around the table, department heads, stakeholders, legal advisors. Power radiated from every corner of the room.And then there was me. The assistant.I clutched the folder to my chest and quietly took the seat Cole gestured toward, directly beside him. His presence was calm but commanding, and having him close gave me a strange sense of comfort. I reminded myself to breathe.“Let’s get started,” he said, breaking the silence. “There’s been a critical correction made to the FenixTech proposal. I want to acknowledge the person who caught it before we go any further.”The room shifted. Curious glances. A few raised brows.Cole looked at me.“This is

Chapter: Chapter 9Laura’s POVThe rest of the afternoon passed like a blur. After lunch with Nora, I returned to my office with renewed energy, determined to keep up the momentum. There was still so much to prove, not just to Cole, but to myself.I was halfway through drafting a client follow-up letter when my office phone rang.I reached for the receiver quickly. “Hello, this is Laura.”“Come to my office,” Cole’s voice said , calm, direct, and, as always, with no room for negotiation.“Yes, sir.”I stood up, smoothed down my top, took the notebook I had been jotting down in all day, and headed straight for his office. My heels clicked lightly across the polished floor, but it wasn’t the sound that echoed in my head. It was that same tiny voice whispering: Don’t mess this up.I knocked twice.“Come in.”I opened the door to find him seated behind his massive desk, brows furrowed in concentration. His jacket was off this time, sleeves rolled just enough to show strong forearms. He looked… less like a C

Chapter: Chapter 8Chapter 7Laura’s POVThe way Mr. Cole kept staring at me made me uncomfortable. My heart raced as I waited for him to say something — anything. But he just sat there, eyes fixed on me, like he was trying to figure something out.I cleared my throat softly and held out the documents."Sir, these are the documents you asked me to go through. I discovered a few errors and thought it best to bring them to your attention before filing them."He blinked once, then slowly reached for the documents.“You made corrections?” he finally asked, voice calm but with a trace of surprise.“Yes, sir. I made notes beside the errors and suggested corrections in the margins,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady.He flipped through the pages silently. With each turn, I watched his expression, looking for any sign of disappointment or approval. A tense minute passed before he looked up again, this time with a slight smile playing on his lips.“Well done, Laura. I appreciate your attention to detail,

Chapter: Chapter 7COLE’S POV SEVEN YEARS AGO It was 7 pm and I was bored, so I decided to go see my friend, Antonio, so that we could play some games and probably go out to chill later. Although I had called him several times, his number was not reachable. I was worried because we spoke on the phone earlier and now I couldn't reach him. Somehow, I felt something wasn't right. I made up my mind to go to his house to find out what could be wrong. His house was just five miles away. So, it was walkable from my house. In no time, I was already at his house. I strolled up the stairs. I noticed the sitting room door was not locked. I opened the door and entered. As I walked, I saw clothes scattered everywhere in the passageway; bras, boxers, shirts, etc. I got to his room door and came to a halt as the sound of moans filled the atmosphere. It was a feminine voice. “Omg! Fuck me harder baby. Go deeper baby." "Don't stop fucking me. Continue hitting me on the spot till I cum…" I heard it when I op
