Boss Of My Heart Ā Ā Ā Chapter Twenty-Four ā The Return and Intrusion
~ Helena ~The glass doors slid open with their usual soft hiss, but the sound felt deafening to me. It was the sound of my return, the sound of stepping back into the very place that had chewed me up and spit me out, then watched as I disappeared in disgrace.I braced myself.I had told myself a hundred times I wouldnāt let it break me. That Iād walk into the building like I never left. That my head would be high, my steps firm, my eyes steady.But nothing prepared me for the stares.They landed on me the instant I crossed the threshold, heavy and sharp, like glass shards pressed against my skin. Whispers followed immediately, like shadows too fast for me to catch, but too loud for me not to hear.āShe actually came back?āāI thought sheād have the decency to quit.āāThis girl has no shame.āThe words werenāt whispers. Not really. They were bait, spoken just loud enough for me to catch, just cruel enough to sting.I forced my lips into what I hoped was a calm smile, though my heart w

~Helena~ā Being home felt like pāressing pauāse on a world that wāas spiānnāing too fāaāst. The air here waās dāifferent, softer, calmer, untouched by tāhe buzzing flā uorā escentā liā ghts of offiāce hallways or the constant ping of emails. I couāld aā cātuā allyā hear biārds in the morning instead of the distant roar of city traffic. And mosā t of all, I didnā āt hāaā ve tāo wake up at 5 a.m., rush iānto stiffā skirts and heelās, and drag myselāfā through another day of whāispers and stares.Hāoā me meant comfort. Home meaānt peace. Home meanā tā Momās cookiāng and Mrs. Lawāsonāās gentle hums fromā nextā door as she tended to herā gardenā. For the first time in what feltā lā ike forever, I could sit at the dāining tablā e withoā ut an agenda, witā hout sticky notes cāoverināgā my plannāeā r, wiā thout an urgāent phone call steāaling my attention.Still, that peāace was bittersā weet.Every tā iāme I looked at Māom, I remembered that itā wā ouldnāāt last foreverā.

~Hā elena~ After everything that haāppened atā tā hā eā office, I deācidāed I needed aā break. Noātā juāst a small paā use, but a real escā apāe from the noise, the tension,ā and the weight of all tāheā unanswereād qāuestions circling my lifā e likāe restless biā rds.

Thatās what Ethan had said. Oā ne week to reāflect. Iā cā ouldnāāt bear the iādea of just staying in Washington, wanādāering my apartmā ent with nothing butā silence tāo keep me comāpanyā.

~Helena~ The office buzzed likeā a restless hāive that aftā ernoon.

~Ethan~ My hands tightened on the steering wheel as I drove away from Helenaās street.What the hell just happened?Her face. Her closeness. The way her eyes had looked at me, unguarded, trusting, almost hopeful. I wanted to kiss her. God, Iād nearly done it.But I couldnāt.Not after Chloe. Not

~Helena~ I pressed my hand against my lips as I quietly closed the door to his office. Why did I say that? What was I thinking? My mind was spinning, my heart still unsteady. That was the first time I had ever seen Ethan Fisher like that. Vulnerable. Human. Not the cold, untouchable man who barked
