Chapter 74: The Fear in her eyes

RUE

She screamed when I touched her. The kind of scream that pierced through my ears. You could hear the pain in her voice, it was raw, broken, and terrified. She wasn’t just bruised; she was wrapped in fear. I had never felt my blood boil so much. It was like my veins were about to pop. Whoever did this had a death wish.

“I was assaulted.”

Those three words made it even worse. The way she curled up in my arms, trembling… it felt like I had failed her. I came at the wrong time. I should have been there. What if I had waited nearby? What if I’d gotten there earlier? Maybe she wouldn’t have had to go through this alone.

“Who did this to you?” I asked, instantly regretting the question. She was still in shock. Of course she wasn’t ready to talk.

She collapsed in my arms again, too weak to stand. Her body was shaking.

“Get on my back,” I whispered.

I carried her to the car. She was completely soaked, her skin showing through her wet dress. I reached behin

    Chapter 86: The Villian and His Lady Valerie’s eyes were glued to her phone, refreshing the job portal on Sienna’s website like her life depended on it. She didn’t even care if her friends were still blabbing . “ She’s still on that damn website “Talia scoffed “ This is such a difficult thing to watch , i’m going home “ Brielle added “ Oh come on , you guys are overreacting with this , i just want a job “ she smirked “Sure,” rolled her eyes. “Let me know how pretending to take coffee orders helps you sleep at night. I’m out.” “ i’m coming too …” Talia followed . “ Good byeeeee”Valerie waved them off . When the door slammed shut, Valerie stared at the screen again. New update: “Application Received – Processing.” She smiled. Good. Exactly how she wanted it. By the time Williams walked into the apartment two hours later, she was still on the couch, one leg tucked under her robe, sipping lukewarm tea. “You’re back,” she said, not even turning. Williams dropped his brie

    Chapter 85: Curiosity Kills The CatValerie’s fingers tapped impatiently on her screen as she scrolled through Sienna’s Instagram page for the third time that morning. Same recycled content, Law stuff Art, gallery shots, filtered selfies with nauseating quotes like “Grace finds those who seek it.” Ugh. But that wasn’t why Valerie was stalking her. Her eyes paused at a throwback post—Rue’s hand around Sienna’s waist. They were at some rooftop party. It was old, but it was still there.No caption. No “ex.” No archive. Just sitting there, unbothered.So she hasn’t moved on.Valerie leaned back into the sofa, phone still in her hand, lips pursed, she was so invested . “Of course she hasn’t,” she mumbled to herself. “Why would she? Rue is not the type of man you just move on from ““You’re talking to yourself again,” Brielle, her oldest friend, muttered from across the room. She had a smoothie in hand and a smirk on her face.“I’m not,” Valerie said defensively, sitting up straighter. “I

    Chapter 84: No HangoverRUEMy head felt like a construction site, it felt like drills, hammers, a whole lot—when my eyes finally fluttered open. The first thing I noticed was the warmth next to me. Vicky was nestled against my chest, she was curled up like she was protecting something fragile.She looked so impossibly sweet—innocent even—her eyes were perfectly shut, her hair was messy but it was cute ,For a moment, I forgot the headache. Forget the world. Just stared at her, thinking, How did I get this lucky?Then I saw her eyelids flutter. She blinked, groggy, and I closed my eyes faking i was asleep so we could stay for more time . Her fingers slid from my chest, and she yawned. I would have warned her, but before I could speak, her body shifted. She was unwrapping herself, gently easing out of the sheets, was she sneaking out ?“Where are you going?” I croaked.She froze. Then smiled, sleepy and sly. “You’re awake?”“Yes,” I groaned, attempting to charm. “And why are you sneak

    Chapter 83:Drunk Husband Day 29/365VICKYI twisted in bed, staring at the ceiling as seconds ticked into minutes—minutes into half an hour past midnight. Rue still hadn’t come home. Panic started biting at my insides. I tossed the blanket aside and sat up.“Rue?” I whispered into the darkness, but no answer came.I glanced at my phone – no missed calls, no messages. My eyes snapped to the clock—almost midnight. He never stayed out this late. Ever.I rubbed my temples and made the worst decision of the night: I tried calling him. Once. Twice. Straight to voicemail. My chest tightened.He always tells me when he’ll be home. Those texts read like appointments: At the studio now, home by seven. Meeting ran late, be back soon.This was unusual. Out of character. I slipped on slippers and crept to the window overlooking the garage. No tail lights, no silhouette—just the vast empty concrete.My mind whirled with scenarios: Working late? Crisis at the office? With Sienna…? A tidal wave of a

    Chapter 84: A First-Day JoltDay 29/365VICKY My first day as Vice President should have felt like a spotlight moment. Instead, I found myself slouched in my chair, swapping documents more times than I care to admit. By midday, my eyelids were heavy and the files—contracts, spreadsheets, memos—felt as dull as dishwater, at least i was familiar with dishwashers. Julia was out for lunch and the office felt too quiet. Too serious. I picked up a pen, tapped it on the desk, and sighed, this was boring . I glanced over at Rue’s office—just across the hall. He’d told me not to worry, that he’d review my work until I settled in. Out of nowhere, I thought: it wouldn’t hurt to walk over and say hello, maybe we could have a chat and he would keep me company So I stood, smoothed my skirt, fixed my hair and lipgloss , and headed toward his door. It was locked. Not unusual. I gently pushed it—and it swung open. i had forgot to knock . I opened it still and it looked like he had a visitor Sien

    Chapter 81: Call Me Vice President Day 29/365 VICKY. The smell of hot chocolate woke me up. Not the fancy type with whipped cream and cinnamon. The Rue type — creamy, smooth, made just the way I liked it. “Good morning, VP,” he greeted as i walk downstairs still in my robe ,he gave me a mug immediately i got to the kitchen . “I figured you’d need something warm. Big day.” I smiled, stretching. “You made it yourself?” “I always do , you know that …. Don’t want the kitchen staff messing it up.” Julia was already downstairs. She was supposed to drive me to work — first day and all — but Rue had other plans. “You can go ahead and prep her office,” he said casually, sipping his own coffee. “But I’ll be driving her to work “ “ That’s a fantastic idea, see you soon Vicky “ She said and left . “ Why does she still call you Vicky ?” “ Cause i am comfortable with her calling me that “ I looked at him from the rim of my cup. “Why do you want to drive me to work ?” “I am your hu
