EVA’S POV

I paced my apartment like a caged animal. Every time I closed my eyes, the image of Lucas with that woman replayed itself. Her hand brushing his arm. His smirk that was meant for me now aimed at someone else.

I could not breathe properly. My heart pounded against my chest like it was trying to break free.

Before I could even think twice, I grabbed my jacket and rushed out the door.

The drive to Lucas’ apartment was a blur. I barely remembered the turns or the traffic lights. I only knew the fire inside me was burning too hot to contain.

When I reached his door, I did not even bother to knock. I slammed my fist against it, and almost instantly, the door swung open.

Lucas stood there, shirtless, with that same infuriatingly calm look on his face.

"Eva," he said, as if he had been expecting me.

I stepped inside, anger pouring from every part of me.

"Who was she?" I hissed, standing in the middle of his living room. "Are you playing me?"

Lucas did not answer. He closed the doo

  • BETRAYAL GAME: HIS BOSS, MY OBSESSION    CRACKS IN THE AFFAIR

    As the party wrapped up and people began to say their goodbyes, I was still in shock from the news, and now Lucas was nowhere to be found after he made the announcement. Just then, Henry approached me.'Hey, Eva, it's getting late,' Henry said. 'Time to head home, I think.''I think you're right,' I replied.'Shall we?' Henry asked, gesturing toward the door.I nodded, and we joined the others heading out.The drive home was a silent blur. Henry steered through the city streets with gentle concentration, his hand resting on mine. I stared out the window, the streets’ lights dancing past like distant memories. The party’s clamor still echoed behind my eyelids—Lucas’s announcement ringing in my head, the anonymous warning text pulsing in my pocket. When we pulled into the driveway, I was so exhausted I could barely lift my feet.Henry helped me inside and guided me to bed. “You need rest,” he murmured, brushing a loose strand of hair from my face. I nodded, my limbs heavy as stone, and

  • BETRAYAL GAME: HIS BOSS, MY OBSESSION    THE WEIGHT OF SILENCE

    Eva's POVHenry’s voice reached me like a slow echo from a distant shore. “Eva,” he said, placing a hand on my arm. “Is everything okay with you?”I turned to him, blinking as if I had just woken up. My chest tightened, and I forced a smile that didn’t quite reach my eyes.“Yeah,” I said, brushing imaginary lint off my dress. “I’m fine. Just… surprised. Lucas, getting engaged? I didn’t see that coming.”He studied me for a second longer than felt comfortable, his eyes searching mine like he was trying to read a hidden message. “You sure? You seemed more than just surprised. You looked like you saw a ghost.”I laughed, soft and forced. “Don’t be dramatic.”But even as the words left my mouth, I could feel the tremble in my voice. I wasn’t okay. Not really. Something inside me had shifted the moment Lucas said those words. I could still hear them—ringing in my head like a bell I couldn’t silence.I tried to shake it off. Tried to focus on the music, on the people still clapping and chee

  • BETRAYAL GAME: HIS BOSS, MY OBSESSION    THE ANNOUNCEMENT

    HENRY’S POVThe sun broke through the curtains in thin, golden rays, spilling over our room like a promise of peace. But I knew today wouldn’t be peaceful. It was the day of the company event, the one Lucas had called while Eva and I were still in Paris.I stood by the window, already dressed in a clean, pressed suit. My tie was neatly knotted, but I kept adjusting it like it was the reason for the tightness in my chest. Behind me, Eva stirred in bed."You're up early," she said, her voice groggy.I turned and gave her a soft smile. "Yeah. Big day today. The meeting. The one Lucas called."She sat up slowly, the sheets falling from her shoulders. Her eyes were still heavy with sleep, but I could already see the storm building behind them."He couldn't wait until after our honeymoon?" she asked, rubbing her temple. "Seriously, babe."I walked over and sat beside her. "I know. It threw me off too. But he's the boss. Whatever he wants to announce, it must be important."She looked away,

  • BETRAYAL GAME: HIS BOSS, MY OBSESSION    BACK TO LOS ANGELES

    EVA’S POVI stared out the window as the taxi pulled away from the hotel, the early morning fog still clinging to the edges of Paris. The city was quiet, like it hadn’t woken up yet. I held my hands together tightly in my lap, my fingers cold despite the warmth of the car.This wasn’t how I imagined our honeymoon ending.Just yesterday, we were wrapped in soft blankets, watching old movies with croissants on our laps and chocolate on our fingers. Now, barely twenty-four hours later, we were packed and heading to the airport. All because Lucas had called for an emergency meeting. The tone of the message said it all. Mandatory. Urgent. All staff must be present.I kept replaying the moment I saw the message in Henry’s hands. His expression had fallen so fast it knocked the breath out of me.“Eva,” he had said gently, placing a hand on mine. “I think we have to go back.”I didn’t argue. I couldn’t. But the pit that opened in my stomach refused to close.The cab swerved around a narrow co

  • BETRAYAL GAME: HIS BOSS, MY OBSESSION    THE CALL BACK HOME

    HENRY’S POV The morning air inside the hotel room was quiet and still, the kind of silence that makes you want to move slowly and hold on to every moment. Sunlight filtered softly through the pale curtains, casting golden stripes over Eva’s bare shoulder where her hair spilled across the pillow. Her breathing was slow, peaceful. I didn't want to move, didn’t want to wake her just yet. These quiet mornings were rare.I carefully reached for my phone from the bedside table, hoping not to disturb her. A few notifications blinked on the screen, most of them were muted from apps I barely checked. Then one caught my eye—a group message from my old workplace, the company I work at back in Los Angeles. The message had come from the top of the chain. Lucas.Attention: Mandatory Company EventThe words jumped out at me, followed by a time, date, and a location. It was set for two days from now, in Los Angeles. The part that really stuck with me was the line: "Mr. Lucas will address the team p

  • BETRAYAL GAME: HIS BOSS, MY OBSESSION    COUPLES DAY OUT

    HENRY’S POVThe morning light crept into our hotel suite through sheer curtains, soft and golden. I blinked awake to the quiet hum of the city far below, and for a moment, I wasn’t sure where I was. Then I turned my head and saw her.Eva.Her head rested against my shoulder, dark lashes brushing her cheek. Her bare arm draped across my chest, and her breath rose and fell in a slow, steady rhythm. Last night played back in flashes—her laugh against my neck, the way her fingertips had moved across my skin, the softness of her kiss, the quiet moans in the dark. Our wedding night had been everything I dreamed of. Gentle, slow, deep. Not rushed or messy, but filled with care. She gave herself to me, and I tried to make sure she felt safe in my arms. I remembered how she whispered my name, how her eyes closed in surrender, how she held on to me like she didn’t want to let go.I looked at her now and wondered what was going on inside her mind.Because even with all that, something still felt

    EVA'S POVParis sparkled beneath us as the plane descended, a stretch of golden lights beneath a dark velvet sky. Henry squeezed my hand, eyes dancing with excitement.“We’re here,” he whispered, kissing my knuckles. “Our honeymoon.”I smiled, but it didn’t reach my eyes.At the hotel, we were led to a suite that looked like it belonged in a romance movie. Soft lighting, rose petals scattered across crisp sheets, and the faint scent of vanilla in the air.Henry came up behind me as I stood by the balcony, arms wrapping gently around my waist.“You okay?” he asked.I nodded. “Yeah. Just taking it all in.”He turned me around slowly, hands on my hips. “You’re my wife now,” he said with a soft smile. “I still can’t believe it.”He kissed me—slow and full of emotion. His lips moved over mine, and I kissed him back, letting myself be drawn into the warmth of the moment.We undressed between kisses and quiet laughter, fingers trailing over skin like whispers. There was no rush, no frenzy. J

  • BETRAYAL GAME: HIS BOSS, MY OBSESSION    THE WEDDING DAY

    EVA’S POVI froze against the tiled wall, my breath catching as the masked man stepped out into the harsh hallway light. Lucas lunged forward.“Stop!” he shouted, grabbing for the man’s arm.The stranger twisted free with a fluid motion. He wasn’t clumsy or panicked. He was skilled. He darted down the corridor, mask in place.“Dammit!” Lucas cursed, racing after him. He nearly caught the edge of the man’s jacket, but the figure slipped away around a corner before Lucas could pull off the mask.I pressed a hand to my mouth. “Lucas—”He came back, breathless, sliding to a stop beside me. “He got away,” he panted.I hugged myself. “I can’t do this anymore, Lucas. I’m getting married tomorrow morning. I have to go back.”He looked at me hard for a moment. Then he straightened, eyes softening.“Okay,” he said quietly. “I understand.”He walked away without another word.I watched him go, my chest tight. Then I turned and left the restroom.Back in the party room, balloons and laughter fill

    EVA’S POV My fingers trembled as I picked up my phone from the floor where it had fallen. The photograph still lay there, its threat burning into my mind. I swallowed the panic clawing at my throat and hit Lucas’s name.He picked up immediately."Eva," he said, voice low and urgent. "Are you okay?""No," I whispered, blinking back tears. "Someone was here. They left a photo… of us. They are watching me, Lucas."There was a heavy pause."You need to come out tomorrow," he said firmly. "We can meet with Mark. He will know if there is proof or maybe gotten some evidence, something we can use to stop whoever is behind this."I shook my head fiercely, even though he could not see me."I cannot," I said, voice cracking. "Tomorrow is my bridal and Henry’s bachelor night party. I have a dress fitting with Naomi. I cannot just disappear."Silence stretched between us."Eva," Lucas said finally, his voice almost breaking. "This is bigger than a party.""I know," I whispered. "But I cannot."An
