On my first day of work, I found myself face-to-face with the "Reaper", the infamously cold CEO, Silas Vance. I was paralyzed; he was the spitting image of Lucas Thorne, the treacherous ex who bankrupted me and left me for dead in my previous life. "Get out," he commanded, his voice cold. Just as I reached the door knob, a frantic, ecstatic voice erupted inside my head: [Holy crap! Is this my long-lost fiancee? She is a million times more stunning than her pictures! Is she already head-over-heels for me? Quick, I need to say something harsh to maintain my cool persona!] I freeze, the truth hitting me like a lightning bolt. He isn’t my ex. He’s the man my grandfather betrothed me to in childhood, whom I rejected in my previous life before falling prey to a swindler. Silas thought I was here to break off the engagement. Little did he know, I returned from the grave with a secret weapon: I could hear every one of his thoughts. 'Go ahead, Silas. Keep up the cold, untouchable act. With your heart screaming your secrets directly into my brain, I’m going to peel back those layers of yours one by one until you’re completely under my thumb. 'This time, the game is mine.'

The next day, I placed the voice recording which clearly documented Lucas's blackmail right onto Silas's office desk."I can't let him get away with this."I looked at him, my gaze unwavering. "He didn’t just scam me. There must be other victims out there."Silas, I need your help. Not to pay him off, but to use your resources. I want to unearthed every single piece of evidence against him so he gets the punishment he deserves."Silas stared back at me, the sheer admiration and love in his eyes nearly melting me on the spot.[Jade's so brave and incredibly smart! She isn't begging for help, rather she’s inviting me to fight alongside her. That's my woman!]He gripped my hand tightly. "Leave it to me."Silas's efficiency was terrifyingly impressive.It took his team only half a day to follow the clues and dug up Lucas's criminal activities. He had used the same tactics to defraud multiple women over the years.With insurmountable evidence against him and multiple charges compou

The moment those words left my mouth, the entire world seemed to fall silent.The smug arrogance on Lucas's face froze completely, twisting into something almost absurd.Silas froze, too.The storm raging inside his head suddenly went still, leaving behind only one sentence repeating endlessly.[She likes me... She said she likes me... She actually said it herself... I'm not dreaming...]The overwhelming joy in his eyes was so intense it almost felt tangible.Lucas was the first to snap back to reality. Pointing wildly between Silas and me, he doubled over with hysterical laughter, practically doubled over."Fiance? You've completely lost it, Jade. You were so hung up on me that you actually tracked down a cheap imitation to take my place? Tell me, when you're in bed with him, do you still have to scream my name just to feel something?""Shut your mouth!" Silas roared. The fury in his voice felt hot enough to ignite the air itself.Finally snapping out of the shock, he yanked

For the next two days, I kept a calm expression on the surface while chaos raged inside me.Lucas, the nightmare that had destroyed my entire life.Now that I'd been given a second chance, I refused to let him drag me back into hell again.Ask Silas for money?No way. I couldn't do it.It wasn't just about pride. More importantly, this was my own personal demon, and I needed to destroy it with my own hands.Silas noticed everything.Rather than interrogating me, he focused on small gestures of care, bringing my favorite meals daily and searching for any way to lift my spirits.[She's barely touching her food again. What is going on? Why is she keeping this from me? Does she still feel like she can't trust me?]The worry in his inner voice only made my heart ache more, and it strengthened my resolve even further.'Silas, once I deal with this mess, I'll tell you everything.'Then, the third day, which was the deadline Lucas had set, finally came.He sent a text that afternoo

Ever since I agreed to give dating Silas a go, our relationship had progressed at lightning speed.At the office, he was still the same cold and expressionless CEO, but outside of work, he awkwardly engineered all kinds of ridiculous "coincidences".For example, his car would just happen to break down near my office right when I got off work, forcing me to give him a ride home.Or we'd randomly run into each other at the bookstore I frequented, followed by dinner together afterward.Meanwhile, the voice inside his head had evolved from nervous insecurity into nonstop praise.[Jade is seriously perfect. She can handle anything, and she somehow even makes eating tacos look elegant.][Jade is gorgeous when she's working. A career-driven woman is super attractive.]Little by little, I also got used to having him in my life.That day, Edward called again, urging us to come home for dinner. This time, however, Silas didn’t make excuses.[Finally, I can officially bring Jade home! Gr

My first task as an executive assistant was to brew Silas a cup of coffee. Linda Teller, a veteran from the sales department, handed me a printed sheet. It was a meticulous list detailing everything from the origin of the coffee beans and the roast level to the exact grind size. It even specified

"Jade Sterling, this is Mr. Silas Vance. Starting today, you’ll be serving as his executive assistant". The HR Director, Brenda Pattison, flashed a polite, practiced smile as she led me to the door of the CEO's office, only to make a disappearing act the second we arrived.Inside, the man seated be
