Richard’s Tech that's once the empire of innovation and pride, now drowning like a wounded lion. The halls that once echoed with ambition were now silent, filled only with the failing systems and the panic of those who hadn’t yet fled. Screens flickered with red alerts—missed contracts, canceled investments, and unpaid dues.

The company that once led the industry was collapsing under its own weight. And at its heart, sitting in a vast office, that no longer respected his name, Ethan Richard.

He looked nothing like the man who once commanded rooms with a fling of his finger. His expensive suit loose on his shoulders; his hair was disheveled, his eyes hollow. There were dark circles under them—signs of nights without sleep and days without peace.

Emails went unanswered, phones rang endlessly, and messages from investors piled up on his desk, unopened. Every report was a reminder of failure—missed opportunities, stolen clients, and projects that had vanished overnight.

  • CEO Craving for His Assistant   Chapter 52

    The Third HeartThey emerged from Ethan's office still holding hands, a act of defiance against years of distance. The executive floor remained eerily quiet, but as they reached the elevator, a figure stepped from the shadows of an empty conference room.Alex.He stood with his characteristic poise, suit immaculate, expression unreadable. But his eyes—his eyes told a different story. They moved from Ethan to Daniel to their intertwined fingers, and something in his carefully constructed composure cracked."So," Alex said, his voice deceptively casual. "The prodigal returns."Daniel's hand tightened on Ethan's. "Alex. I didn't know you were still here.""Where else would I be?" He asked. Alex moved closer, each step measured. "Someone has to keep the ship from sinking entirely while the captain pines away." His gaze fixed on Daniel with an intensity that made the air feel thin. "Though I see the pining is over now."Ethan straightened, his CEO armor sliding back into place. "Alex,

    The ReunionThe rain had stopped by morning, leaving the city washed clean and gleaming under a pale sun. Daniel stood outside Richard Tech's headquarters, his heart hammering against his ribs like a caged bird desperate for escape.The building looked different now—smaller somehow, less imposing. Or maybe he was the one who'd changed. He'd walked out of these doors broken and desperate. Now he stood before them as Chief Strategic Officer of Summit Global, a man who'd rebuilt himself from ashes. But none of that mattered as he pushed through the revolving doors.The lobby was nearly empty. The receptionist—a new face he didn't recognize—barely glanced up. The security guard who used to greet him warmly each morning was gone, replaced by someone who looked at him like a stranger.Everything's different, Daniel thought. Except what I feel.The elevator ride to the executive floor felt eternal. Each floor that passed was a memory: the fifth floor where he'd first met Ethan, cold and com

  • CEO Craving for His Assistant   Chapter 50

    Ethan sat at his office, staring down at the sprawling city. Papers lay untouched on his desk; the spreadsheets glared back at him like quiet accusations.He had built this company, brick by brick of sleepless nights, forged in the fire of heartbreak and ambition. And yet, even now, when the entire corporation hummed to his rhythm, he couldn’t escape one thought—Daniel.It had been weeks since he left Richard’s Tech. Weeks since he’d watched Ethan’s name flash across his phone screen, only to turn it face down and pretend he didn’t care. Weeks since he’d convinced himself that walking away was the only way to survive.But survival didn’t feel like this. Survival wasn’t supposed to feel like slow death.Daniel, sitting proud in Summit Global, rubbed his temples, the ache behind his eyes pounding like guilt. “Why now?” he muttered under his breath. “Why, when I finally have my place—when I finally call somewhere mine?”No one answered. The city moved on, indifferent.He tried focusing o

  • CEO Craving for His Assistant   Chapter 49

    Alex, who had always been a man of ambition—a strategist in charm, a schemer with the face of a friend. At Richard’s Tech, he’d been known for his smart instincts, his ability to read a room, and his uncanny sense for survival. But now, as the once-mighty company crumbled around him, he was something far more dangerous—a man with knowledge that everyone wanted.He knew where Daniel Reyes was.And for now, that secret was his and rumors around. Richard’s Tech’s near-empty boardroom. The space reeked of desperation. Coffee cups littered in the table, papers were scattered like casualties of war, and the men seated around the table looked more like mourners than executives.Ethan sat silent, his face was like a restrained fury. The empire he had built brick by brick was slipping through his fingers, and every report, every whisper of Summit Global’s triumph, was another twist of the knife.Alex sat two seats away composed, but inside his mind raced.He had been there since dawn, listen

    The Rise of Summit GlobalThe Summit Global now trending with prosperity and power. In it, phones rang, heels clicked into the floors, and executives darted between meetings with urgency. Investors crowded the lobby like pilgrims seeking blessings at a holy shrine.And at the center of it all was Daniel Reyes.
