Elarie Newton thought she could hide her secret forever. After becoming pregnant with no idea who the father was, she buried her shame, concealing the truth for months. But when her father, Alexander Newton, found out, her world crashed down in an instant. "Get out of my house! I don’t have a daughter who’s a slut like you!" Alexander’s voice had cut through the silence like a blade. Abandoned and alone, Elarie had been left to fend for herself. Five years later, she was still fighting—fighting to survive, to raise her son, Daniel, and to give him a future. But the load she carried was becoming unbearable. With Daniel starting school, her low-paying job barely covered their bills. Then came a glimmer of hope. A job interview. Her final chance to turn things around. Elarie stepped into the conference room with her heart pounding, filled with hope and determination. Behind the massive desk sat Danreb Scott, a man whose cold, calculating gaze pierced right through her. “So, Ms. Newton…” He had dragged his eyes from her feet to her head. “…do you really think you’re capable of working with me without a degree?” Elarie’s breath had hitched, but she had straightened her spine. “I’ve done more with less.” This was her chance to prove that her past didn’t define her—that she was more than the broken girl her father had cast aside. But would Danreb Scott see beyond her scars, or would her past continue to haunt her? But one thing was for sure. Elarie was ready to fight for her son’s future, even if it meant working under the icy gaze of the man sitting across from her.

Chapter 1

Elarie gasped as a sharp pain shot through her abdomen, jolting her awake. The dark room around her was still and silent. And the only sound was her ragged breathing as she clutched her stomach. It was the middle of the night. So it was far too late for anyone to be awake in the Newton household. But the pain was unbearable now. And she knew she couldn’t wait any longer.Her eyes darted to the bag she had prepared for this exact moment. She had packed it days ago as she was anticipating the arrival of the one thing she had kept secret from everyone, especially her father. Grimacing, she swung her legs off the bed and forced herself to stand. She took deep breaths as she willed herself to move through the pain. Then she grabbed the bag and slipped out of her room, careful not to make any noise.Each step down the hallway felt like a monumental task as she struggled to breathe through the pain. Reaching the front door, she hesitated only briefly before slipping outside.She didn’t know

Chapter 2
Elarie’s heart pounded in her chest as her eyes flickered open, slowly adjusting to the sterile, white surroundings of the hospital room. She was still groggy, but she couldn't be mistaken. Her father, Alexander Newton, was standing at the foot of her bed. He didn’t move. His eyes were fixed on her with a gaze colder than she had ever seen. Elarie thought she might still be dreaming, but the tension in the air confirmed that this was no dream.“Dad…” Elarie’s voice trembled as she shifted. “I-I can explain.”Her words barely left her lips before her stepmother, Gladys, stepped forward. Shock and disgust was written all over her face. “Explain?” Gladys cut in sharply. “What’s there to explain, Elarie? You got pregnant while still in school! Do you even realize what you’ve done?”Elarie flinched as her eyes welled up. She had wanted to tell them. She had planned to, after the birth. But everything had spiralled out of control. “I was going to tell you… after Daniel was born,” she whisp

Chapter 3
Five years had passed since Elarie’s world had come crashing down. But now, her life revolved around a new center—Daniel, her son. It wasn’t the life she had imagined for herself. But it was a life she had embraced with all the love she had to give.It was late afternoon when Elarie stood by the kitchen counter, carefully decorating a small cake. It wasn’t much, just a simple vanilla cake with a few colorful sprinkles, but she knew it would bring a smile to Daniel’s face. Beside the cake sat a plate of spaghetti, his favorite dish. Today was his birthday. And despite the tight budget, she had managed to pull off this small surprise.Moments later, the door clicked open, and Daniel bounded into the apartment. His bright, five-year-old energy filled the room. Elarie smiled at the sight of him. His backpack was nearly as big as he was. She had picked him up right after finishing her shift at the café. She was already tired but was happy to see her boy.“Happy birthday, Daniel!” she excla

Chapter 4
Elarie held Daniel’s hand tightly as they walked through the mall. The chatter of people surrounded them as they made their way toward the clothing store. Today was an important day. She needed to find formal clothes for her upcoming job interview at Scott Corporation.Daniel bounced beside her as he darted his gaze from shop to shop. “Mommy, are we getting something special today?” he asked.“Yes, sweetheart,” Elarie replied. “Mommy has an important job interview on Saturday. So I need to find the right clothes for it.”Daniel tilted his head, pondering her words as they entered the store. He watched as Elarie picked out a few blouses and skirts, holding them up and examining them in the mirror. “Are those clothes for superheroes, Mommy?” he asked innocently.Elarie chuckled, shaking her head. “No, love, just clothes to help Mommy get a good job. But I guess it’s kind of like a superhero mission.” She bent down, smoothing his hair. “If I do well, it means I can take better care of yo

Chapter 5
Elarie almost couldn’t stop her fingers from trembling as the interview went on. Every word out of Danreb Scott’s mouth felt like a test. It was as if he was judging her to the depths of her soul. Elarie knew she couldn’t afford to make a single mistake. She clasped her hands tightly in her lap, trying to keep them still, but the nerves coursing through her made it nearly impossible.Danreb’s icy demeanor was even more intimidating than she had anticipated. His sharp gaze seemed to cut through her, as if he could see beyond her professional exterior and into the depths of her worries and doubts. Throughout the interview, he hadn’t shown a hint of warmth or understanding, not even a flicker of encouragement. Elarie wondered if this was how he treated all his employees or if it was something about her that he found lacking.She was answering his latest question, trying to focus. But fear gnawed at her. What if she wasn’t good enough? What if her efforts had been in vain? She couldn’t

Chapter 6
Elarie froze at her post as she tried to process what she had just heard. Did Mr. Scott really say she got the job? Her heart pounded in her chest when everything settled on her. She couldn't move. She just stared at the wooden door of the conference room with her eyes wide in disbelief.Danreb noticed the lady still hadn’t left the room, making him raise an eyebrow. "Is there something else, Ms. Newton?"Elarie blinked, snapping back to reality. "I—no, sir," she stammered as she tried to regain her composure."Then why are you still standing there?" Danreb asked indifferently. "You can leave now. Wait for the HR department to contact you with the official result of the interview."But Elarie just stood there. She felt like she had been caught in a strange dream. After a while, as if on autopilot, she nodded and turned. Her legs carried her toward the door. She reached for the handle and exited the room. Her body moved before her mind could fully process what had just happened.In t

Chapter 7
Elarie’s heart sank as Danreb’s eyes scanned her from head to toe. His cold gaze lingered on her outfit. She hadn’t expected him to notice that she was wearing the same clothes from the previous day. No one else in the company had said anything. But of course, he had picked up on it. Elarie swallowed hard. She felt her cheeks warming as embarrassment washed over her.She knew she didn’t smell—she had made sure to wash thoroughly and freshen up before coming to work. But still, she suddenly felt very self-conscious. Lowering her head, she muttered an apology. “I’m sorry, Mr. Scott.”Danreb didn’t respond. He simply walked past her. His attention had already shifted to the day ahead. He entered his office without a word. Elarie exhaled slowly, trying to shake off the unease that lingered. ‘I have to fix this,’ she thought. ‘I need to buy new clothes today after my shift.’She couldn’t afford to make a bad impression, especially not over something as simple as her wardrobe. The last thin

Chapter 8
Elarie sat at her desk, typing away as she finished organizing Danreb’s schedule for the day. She was feeling a little more at ease in her new role, though she was still getting used to the pace and expectations. Therese, seated at her adjacent desk, glanced over at her from time to time. Her lips were curled into faint, knowing smirks. Elarie had learned to ignore them by now and decided to just focus on her work.The minutes ticked by, and then, she heard the sound of Danreb’s office door opening pulled, which caught her and Therese’s attention. He stepped out into the open. Without preamble, he spoke. “Come with me.”Elarie assumed he was speaking to Therese. After all, Therese had been there longer and had much more experience. But before anyone could move, her boss added, “Elarie.”Her heart skipped a beat. Therese’s confident smile faltered. And Elarie could feel the heated glare burning into her as her co-worker glanced sideways. Therese quickly masked the irritation with a thi

Chapter 9
Elarie was stunned in front of the luxurious collection of clothes. She could feel her heart hammering against her chest in disbelief. Everything felt surreal. She had followed Danreb into the boutique, assuming he was shopping for someone else. Now, as the staff lined up to present her with the outfits and accessories, she couldn’t understand what was happening.Stuttering, she finally gathered enough courage to ask, “M-Mr. Scott, why are you doing this?”Danreb didn’t even blink. He just glanced at a nearby rack of clothes indifferently. “I don’t want a secretary who repeats her outfits every day,” he answered plainly. “I can’t have anyone thinking I hired a cheap secretary.”Elarie’s face flushed with both embarrassment and shock. “But I could just stay in the office,” she blurted out, feeling desperate to avoid the mounting expenses. “Therese could attend the meetings with you. She’s more experienced anyway.”Danreb shook his head. “That won’t always be possible. Therese has her o

Chapter 10
Elarie’s cheeks flushed a deep shade of red as the boutique staff continued to smile at her. They clearly misunderstood the situation. “No, no,” she stammered, trying to clarify. “I’m just an employee. Mr. Scott is my boss.”The staff exchanged knowing glances. Their smiles widened as if they were all in on some secret that Elarie wasn’t. One of them even chuckled softly, offering a polite, “Of course, dear.”Elarie pressed her lips together. She just realized there was no point in arguing further. The women clearly didn’t believe her. And she didn’t have the energy to explain herself again. Just as the makeup artist finished applying the last touch of powder to her face, the door opened. Collin entered with a perfectly pressed, dry-cleaned outfit in his hand.Danreb glanced at the clothes, then shifted it at Elarie. “Go change,” he instructed.Elarie nodded. She took the clothes from Collin and walked toward the boutique’s powder room. Once inside, she changed into the new outfit—a s
