Falling For My Boss Chapter 70: The Price of Love
Colt felt the air leave his lungs as if he had been kicked in the stomach. The office was dead silent, the only sounds the faint hum of the air conditioner and the thudding of his own heart.“Leave Lauren?” Colt finally whispered, the words tasting like poison on his tongue. He let out a sharp, jagged laugh that held no joy. He shook his head, staring at Logan as if Logan had suddenly grown a second head. “You can’t be serious. You’re standing here, in your expensive suit, in your fancy office, trying to buy a woman, a human being?”“I am very serious,” Logan said, standing behind his desk, his eyes fixed on Colt’s face. “Don't twist my words. I’m not buying her, Colt. I’m rescuing her from you.”Colt’s blood turned to fire. He slammed his palms onto the desk, the sound echoing through the room. He leaned in until their faces were inches apart. “Do you realize what you’re asking? She is pregnant with my child."“I am very aware,” Logan replied calmly. “The whole world knows, Colt. Eve
Falling For My Boss Chapter 69: The Price of Letting Go
“What the hell are you talking about?” Colt asked, his voice sharp, confusion cutting through him.The man didn’t flinch. He stood his ground, his jaw shifting as he ground his teeth together. His eyes weren't just cold anymore; they burned with raw hatred. “I’m talking about Lauren,” he hissed. “The woman you stole from me."Colt’s eyebrows pulled together. He felt a sickening crawl of suspicion move up his spine, settling at the base of his skull. He took a slow step forward, his expensive leather shoes clicking on the polished floor. “I don’t understand,” he said, the words coming out slow and dangerous. “How do you know her?"Logan’s chest rose as he drew in a deep, shaky breath. He adjusted the lapel of his suit jacket, a movement far too calm for the fire in his eyes. “I’m Logan,” he said. "Lauren’s fiancé.”The words hit like a punch.Colt shut his eyes tight. He dragged his hands down his face, his palms rough against his skin, trying to ground himself before he did something
Falling For My Boss Chapter 68: The Door That Slams Shut
Colt was already dressed and ready to leave the house, his fingers trembling from a mix of caffeine and raw nerves. He stood before the full-length mirror, but he didn't see a billionaire. He saw a man holding a crumbling empire together with his bare hands.His phone buzzed on the dresser, vibrating against the wood. He snatched it up and checked the screen. It was Alex.He answered immediately.“Hey!” Alex’s voice came through bright and easy. “Just calling to check in. Today’s the big day, right? The Quantum merger meeting with the CEO?”Colt closed his eyes and let out a long, ragged breath. He leaned his forehead against the cool glass of the mirror. “Yeah, Alex. If this doesn't go through, the board is going to have my head on a stake. The headlines about Lauren have already wiped five percent off our stock.”“You’ll be fine,” Alex said, his tone turning serious. “I’ve heard the new CEO is a reasonable guy. He likes winners, and you’re the biggest one I know. Call me when you’ve
Falling For My Boss Chapter 67: When Words Become Weapons
Mia walked into the office at 7:55 a.m., but she already felt like she’d worked a double shift.The lights above her were too bright, stabbing at her eyes. Her head throbbed. She hadn’t slept a wink. Every time she closed her eyes, she heard Lauren’s voice on the phone, small and terrified. She had spent the night staring at her ceiling, wondering how the world could be so cruel to her best friend.She reached her cubicle, slung her leather bag onto the chair, and collapsed into it."Ugh."Mia leaned forward, burying her face in her hands. She pressed her forehead against the cold surface of her desk, hoping the chill would numb the pain in her head."Why do bad things happen to the best people?" she whispered to herself.Her chest felt tight. Lauren was pregnant, being dragged online, hated by people who had never met her. And here she was, stuck in an office, pretending to care about contracts and filing dates while her heart broke.She inhaled slowly, dragged her laptop toward her,
Falling For My Boss Chapter 66: Where Love Turns Dangerous
Lauren finally lifted her head and looked him dead in the eye.Her eyes were wet, hurt, and furious, all at once. She looked at him with so much hurt that Colt felt his own lungs seize.“She came here, Colt,” Lauren said, her voice shaking so hard it was barely a whisper. “Today, while you were at your meetings. She looked at me like I was something she found on the bottom of her shoe.”The words landed slowly and heavily. Colt felt the blood drain from his face, leaving him cold and lightheaded.“She opened her purse,” Lauren continued, a jagged, bitter laugh escaping her throat. “She offered me ten million dollars. Ten million to take my mistakes, your babies, Colt, and vanish from the face of the earth. She told me I was trash and a stain on your perfect family name.”He staggered back a step as if the floor had shifted under his feet. His hand found the edge of the dresser to steady himself.“My mother did what?” he asked hoarsely.Lauren didn't answer right away. She reached up a
Falling For My Boss Chapter 65: When the Walls Close In
Colt didn’t leave the office until night had fully settled.Meetings had bled into one another until his brain felt fried. The legal team had barked about contracts. The PR team had whined about "image control." The board members had spoken in sharp voices, their eyes sharp with blame and fear. Every room smelled of tension and expensive cologne. Every question circled back to the same thing.Lauren. The pregnancy. The headlines.By the time he pulled his car into the garage, his shoulders felt as if they had been carved from granite. He loosened his tie as he climbed the stairs and massaged his jaw. It ached from his teeth being clenched for twelve hours straight.It was 9:30 p.m.He paused outside his bedroom door. He hoped Lauren was asleep. Sleep meant she hadn’t seen everything yet.He pushed his door open.It was empty. The bed was perfectly made and untouched. There was no sound of soft breathing, no familiar scent of her vanilla lotion in the air.His chest tightened. The empt
