Matteo’s POV

The morning sun poured through my office windows, but it did little to warm the chill spreading in my chest as I scanned my assistant’s expressionless face across the desk.

Selena’s voice was measured but clipped, as she slid a crisp envelope across to me, its weight far heavier than paper should ever feel, her words quietly detonating the silence. “From Sarah… resignation.”

My heart stalled, breath catching in my throat, fingers tightening around the envelope before I even dared to open it, the two words alone enough to throw my entire world off balance.

I ripped it open, scanning the brief, professional lines, but each syllable burned like acid her calm detachment, her decisive signature a brutal reminder that I’d lost her… without even realizing it.

I leaned back in my chair, every nerve on edge, memories flooding in rapid flashes her laughter, her sharp words, the quiet hurt in her eyes I had ignored too long… until now.

I didn’t hesitate. The second Sarah’s resignati

  • Falling in Love with my cocky boss   Chapter 77

    Ryan’s POVI leaned back in my chair, staring at the blinking message on my phone. A gala. Matteo and Sarah were truly going through with it. They thought they could outmaneuver me.I clenched my jaw, reading the details again. Alessandro was gone, yet somehow they had the audacity to host a celebration so soon. No. This wasn’t just a gala it was a trap. For me. For Isabelle. Maybe even for Damian.But did they think I was that stupid? That I wouldn’t sniff out their pathetic little plan before it even took shape? I smirked, tossing the phone on the table.I rose to my feet, pacing the length of the room. Matteo always underestimated me, treating me like the desperate younger brother clinging to scraps. And Sarah sweet, naive Sarah she still believed she could stand against me.The thought made me laugh, low and dangerous. They had no idea who they were dealing with. If they wanted war at the gala, I’d give them war. But I’d be the one writing the final act.I grabbed a glass of whisk

  • Falling in Love with my cocky boss   Chapter 76

    Sarah's POVMy hands trembled as I slid the phone back into my pocket, the echo of my own words still burning in my chest. The hospital’s dim hallway smelled faintly of antiseptic and cold metal.I could still see Alessandro’s face in my mind lifeless, gone and every time I blinked, the image burned sharper, fueling the anger in my veins. Ryan’s smugness, Isabelle’s deceit, Damian’s cruelty they would all pay.Mia was still asleep in her room, Ethan by her side. I couldn’t tell them what I’d just done. Not yet. This was my war to fight, and my warning to deliver.I walked toward the elevator, my reflection in its steel doors looking like a stranger’s. My voice had been calm in that text, but inside, I was ready to tear down their entire world.****The rain was still falling when I stood outside Matteo’s apartment building, the cold drops seeping through my coat. I hesitated, my hand hovering over the intercom, unsure if I should disturb him tonight.But Alessandro’s death had carved

  • Falling in Love with my cocky boss   Chapter 75

    Ryan’s POVI leaned back in the leather chair, swirling the amber liquid in my glass. Isabelle sat opposite me, legs crossed, that smug little smile tugging at her lips.“So, Alessandro’s gone,” Isabelle said, almost sing-song, as if talking about the weather. “One less obstacle in our way.”I smirked, taking a slow sip.“Exactly. Matteo will spiral. He’ll lose focus. And when he’s busy grieving… that’s when we take everything.”She tilted her head, her gold earrings catching the light.“Everything? Or just Sarah?”I let out a short laugh. “Both. I want Sarah, and I want Matteo crushed. This is personal now.”Her smile widened.“And here I thought you didn’t mix business with pleasure.”I leaned forward, placing the glass on the table between us.“When it comes to Matteo, I make an exception.”Isabelle’s smile was sly, almost feline, as she leaned forward, lowering her voice.“Then we move to phase two,” she said, tapping a manicured finger against the rim of her wine glass.I raised

  • Falling in Love with my cocky boss   Chapter 74

    Sarah’s POVMia stirred faintly on the bed, pulling me back to the room. I adjusted her blanket with shaky hands, forcing myself to focus on her breathing, steady and soft.But my mind wouldn’t stay quiet. Questions screamed inside my head about Matteo, about Ryan, about Isabelle’s cryptic smirk. I hated how they all seemed to hold pieces of a puzzle I couldn’t solve.The hospital’s hallway light spilled into the room when the door cracked open. My body tensed, expecting Ethan or a nurse. Instead, Alessandro’s driver stepped inside, his eyes searching for me.“Miss Sarah,” he said softly, almost hesitantly. “There’s something you need to hear… from Mr. Alessandro himself. He asked me to bring you.” His gaze was serious, almost urgent.I glanced back at Mia. Leaving her now felt wrong, but the urgency in his voice was undeniable. “Five minutes,” I murmured to Mia, kissing her hand before following the driver out.The hallway felt colder than before. My heels clicked softly against the

  • Falling in Love with my cocky boss   Chapter 73

    Matteo's POVI didn’t remember the elevator ride, or how I got to my car. All I knew was that Alessandro was alone. And Ryan had made a promise to kill.I gripped the wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white, blood draining from my hands. My eyes were fixed on the road, heart racing faster than the engine growled beneath me.Flashes of Alessandro’s face filled my head his warm laughter, his quiet wisdom, his endless support. My grandfather. The only man who ever truly stood in the gap for me when everything else crumbled.The mansion gates loomed ahead, slightly ajar. The guards were gone. That alone struck a chilling nerve through my spine. Something was wrong.I slammed the brake and jumped out, leaving the car running. My shoes echoed across the gravel as I rushed up the stairs, each step heavier with fear and dread.“Alessandro!” I yelled, bursting through the front door. Silence greeted me. Cold. Hollow. The kind of silence that tells you death has already passed through the roo

  • Falling in Love with my cocky boss   Chapter 72

    Matteo’ Pov The night pressed against my windows, a heavy, suffocating thing. I sat in my study, nursing a glass of scotch that had long lost its warmth, eyes fixed on nothing.I hadn’t heard from Sarah in hours not since Alessandro mentioned her brief visit earlier today. Every second stretched into something unbearable, like time was deliberately taunting me with silence.My phone lay beside me, dark and unmoving. I could call her. I could demand to know where she was. But something in me resisted the fear of what I might hear.Instead, I dialed a different number. My private investigator answered on the first ring. “Russo,” he said, voice clipped. “Any updates on Damian?” My words came out sharper than intended.There was a pause. “He’s been spotted… following Sarah earlier this evening.” My chest tightened. “She escaped,” the investigator added quickly, “Ethan picked her up.” The relief was sharp, but it was laced with fury.I set the glass down and stood, pacing across the study
