Chasing The Boss Lexi
Tears made my vision blurry. I folded my last sweater. It was a soft, blue one. I placed it carefully in the big suitcase that lay open on my bed. My apartment was full of cardboard boxes. They were all taped shut. I was leaving the city today. There was nothing left for me here anymore.I had lost everything. I couldn't go back to work at The Daily Buzz. My name was all over the internet, sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. And I had lost Lucian. The one man who truly saw me. The man I loved with all my heart. I had hurt him deeply. I had broken the trust between us. I did not think he could ever forgive me.My best friend Mia was helping me pack. She was very quiet. She knew how sad I was. She knew my heart was broken."Are you absolutely sure about this?" she asked softly, placing a hand on my shoulder.I nodded. I used my sleeve to wipe my eyes. "I have to go, Mia. This city has too many painful memories now. Every street reminds me of him."Just as I said that, the f
Chasing The Boss Lucian
The morning light crept through the gaps in the curtains. I had not opened them in weeks. The light felt wrong. It felt too bright.I was lying on the floor of my living room. I could not remember falling asleep there. My body ached badly. My head throbbed. An empty whiskey bottle lay on its side near my hand.I stared at the ceiling. The white paint had small cracks running through it. I had never noticed them before. Now they were all I could see. Like fractures in my life. Breaking everything apart.My phone buzzed. It had been buzzing all morning. I had ignored it like I ignored everything else. But the buzzing would not stop. Over and over. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.Finally I dragged myself up in frustration. My movements were slow and heavy. Like moving through water. I found my phone on the kitchen counter. The cracked screen made it hard to see. But I could make out the notifications. Hundreds of them.News alerts. Text messages. Missed calls. All saying the same thing.I tapped on on

The phone call with Sarah Pendleton echoed in my mind. "You have no idea how dangerous that man is. Your father found out the truth about Mr. Shaw, and he vanished."Vanished. The word was a cold stone in my stomach. My father had not abandoned me. He had been driven into hiding.I tried calling Sarah back immediately, but the phone just rang and rang, she didn't answer. After the fifth attempt, a cold dread settled over me. What if Shaw knew she had talked to me? What if he had done something to her?I had to see her. I had to look her in the eye and get the whole story."Where are you going?" Mia asked, her face pale with worry as I grabbed my car keys."Sarah Pendleton's house. She lives in Oak Creek. It's a two hour drive," I said, pulling on my jacket. "I can't just sit here. She's the only lead we have.""I'm coming with you," Mia said firmly.I shook my head. "No. It's better if I go alone. If Shaw is watching, the two of us will attract more attention. Stay here. Keep digging.
Chasing The Boss Lucian
I lay on the couch, staring at nothing. The rough fabric of the cushions scratched against my skin. I had not moved for hours. Maybe longer. Time did not mean anything anymore.The silent television casted blue and gray shadows across the room. It was like watching ghosts dance on the walls. A puppet show for an audience of one. Me. Alone.A sharp, electronic buzz cut through the silence.My body tensed. It was not the knocking on the door. I had long learned to ignore that sound. This was different. This was the landline phone. The old corded thing that was mounted on the kitchen wall. I had kept it only because it came with the building. I thought I had unplugged it weeks ago.The sound felt like an intrusion. Like someone breaking into the small, dark world I had built for myself.It buzzed again. Insistently. I pulled the blanket over my head like a child hiding from monsters. But it was useless. The sound was like a drill boring into my skull. Each ring felt louder than the las

The glow of my laptop screen was the only light in Mia's spare room. Empty coffee cups and scribbled-on notepads littered the desk. For days, I had lived and breathed Ethan Shaw. I had searched every public database, every business record, every old news article. It was like chasing a ghost."It doesn't make sense," I muttered, rubbing my tired eyes. "It's like he didn't exist before he was thirty."Mia leaned against the doorframe, holding two fresh mugs of coffee. "Maybe he changed his name?""Maybe," I said, accepting the mug gratefully. "But to erase everything? Birth records, school records… that takes a lot of power or a lot of luck.""Or a lot of fear," Mia suggested quietly. "Maybe someone wanted his past erased."The steam from the coffee curled up between us. I wrapped my hands around the warm mug and stared back at my screen. The cursor blinked at me, waiting. Everything about Ethan Shaw felt wrong. It felt constructed. Like someone had built him from scratch.I had hit wal
Chasing The Boss Lucian
The apartment was dark. It had been dark for days now. Or was it weeks? I had lost count. Time had no meaning anymore when every moment felt the same. I would wake up. Stare at the ceiling. Remember my past. Sleep. And repeat.The nightmares came every time I closed my eyes. The same scenes. The same terror. The same helplessness. I was five years old again, trapped in that room with the shadow looming over me. I would wake up gasping, my sheets soaked with sweat, my heart pounding so hard I thought it might break through my ribs.I stopped trying to sleep at night. Instead, I would lie on the couch and drift in and out of consciousness during the day, when the sunlight behind the closed blinds made the nightmares slightly less intense.The television was still on, still muted. I watched the silent images of news anchors moving their mouths, talking about me. About my trauma. About my childhood. About the secret that was no longer secret.My phone has been silent for two days now. I h
