Chapter 9

Author: Starlet
My body went rigid.

I’d believed I was completely over him, but the moment I saw him, all my anger came rushing back.

Nolan seemed to sense my tension. He gently patted my hand.

“It’s okay. I’m right here.

“But it’s time to put an end to this.”

He looked into my eyes, giving me a strength I’d never known before.

I understood what he meant and nodded.

Nolan led me over to Damian.

The moment Damian saw me, he shouted desperately.

“Vivian, you finally agreed to see me. I know I was wrong.

    My body went rigid.I’d believed I was completely over him, but the moment I saw him, all my anger came rushing back.Nolan seemed to sense my tension. He gently patted my hand.“It’s okay. I’m right here.“But it’s time to put an end to this.”He looked into my eyes, giving me a strength I’d never known before.I understood what he meant and nodded.Nolan led me over to Damian.The moment Damian saw me, he shouted desperately.“Vivian, you finally agreed to see me. I know I was wrong. I’ve regretted what I did every single day.“I’ve changed. From now on, I’ll give you all my love. Please forgive me and come back.“I can’t live without you.”His words grated on my ears.I frowned and was about to respond when Nolan spoke first.“Damian, I spared the Carter family for your father’s sake. How dare you show your face in front of Vivian again?“Didn’t I warn you that your family is paying the price for what you did to her?“Or did you think my warning meant nothing?”His

    I didn’t dare say another word. I simply stood there, waiting for Nolan to pass judgment.He answered another call.I couldn’t make out what the person on the other end was saying. My mind was consumed by one thought.I was doomed.After what felt like forever, Nolan finally hung up.He turned and gave me a cool look.“Given the serious impact yesterday’s incident has had on the company, we’ve decided…”My blood ran cold.I genuinely loved this job. It had helped me rediscover my confidence and sense of purpose.“Mr. Quinn, I’m sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen. Please don’t fire me. I’ll work myself to the bone for the company.”“I didn’t say I was firing you. The company has come up with a solution. I’m just not sure whether you’ll agree to it.”Relief surged through me.“I’ll agree. Of course I will. Whatever it is, I’ll do it.”A flicker of delight flashed through Nolan’s eyes.His expression, however, remained as cold as ever.“Good. Starting today, you

    “Vivian, I know I was wrong. Come back to me.”Damian’s confidence made me sick.“Do you honestly think you’re the only man I could ever marry? Take a good look at yourself. What do you have that could possibly compare to my boyfriend?“Your family? Your abilities? Your loyalty? Or what you can do in bed?“Honestly, Mr. Carter, Nolan beats you in every possible way.”Damian’s face darkened, but he gritted his teeth.“I don’t believe you.”His shameless refusal to accept reality made my stomach turn.Before I could figure out how to respond, Nolan’s arm suddenly tightened around my waist.The next second, his lips came down on mine.I froze briefly.Then something stirred in my chest, and I began kissing him back.The kiss lasted a full minute before we finally pulled apart.I gave Damian, still kneeling on the floor, one last cold look. Then I slipped my arm through Nolan’s and headed toward his office.Damian trembled, but he still refused to give up.He rushed after us

  • His Unspoken Promise   Chapter 6

    For years, I’d loved Damian with everything I had.I’d given him my entire youth, only to end up with nothing.But now, I was ready to start over.It was time to find the woman I used to be.After returning home, I cut every trace of Damian out of my life.Then I spent the next six months recovering.Even my doctor said I’d been dangerously close to suffering uterine prolapse and permanent infertility after everything my body had been through.Once I recovered, my family helped me find a job.That job dragged me into another whirlwind, but this time, things felt different.Not long after I joined the company, a new CEO was brought in.His name was Nolan Quinn.Everyone in the office had a nickname for him.Satan.Nolan was ruthless and efficient. If he announced a new policy in the morning, he expected it to be implemented by that afternoon.He was also so cold that one look from him could freeze a person solid.Everyone’s workload skyrocketed.Fortunately, so did our p

    The moment I said it, Damian and Sophie both froze.A flash of wild delight lit Sophie’s eyes. Her expression barely changed, but I knew exactly what she was thinking.With my baby gone, she might finally have a chance to become Mrs. Carter.Even if that didn’t happen, she could at least stay by Damian’s side a little longer. The longer she stayed, the more money she could get out of him.With Damian’s wealth and status, it was no wonder so many women found him irresistible.None of that mattered to me.Damian had been the only thing I cared about.But the man I’d once loved was gone.I turned to leave, but I’d barely taken a few steps when Damian grabbed me.His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked almost feral.“What did you just say, Vivian? You’re lying, aren’t you?“I’ve let you get away with too much. Now you’re willing to lie about something like this just to get my attention?”Without a word, I pulled the paperwork from my abortion out of my bag and threw it in his fa

    I was so weak that every few steps left me desperate to sit down and rest.As I struggled toward the door, Sophie came downstairs.She was dressed to the nines, looking fresh and radiant.I was deathly pale, barely able to stay on my feet.We were the same age, yet I looked decades older.All because of the same man.The moment Sophie saw me, she strode over with a smug look.“What, are you still waiting around for Mr. Carter to come home and comfort you?“He’s already left for work. If you have something to say, I might be generous enough to pass it along.”I gave her a cold glance.Why did even she assume I was putting on an act just to get Damian’s attention?“What makes you think you can speak for Damian?”She immediately looked smug.“Of course I can. I’m his assistant and the woman he loves. Whether it’s work, romance, or sex, I can give him everything he needs. You’re nothing but an incubator.”I regarded her calmly.“It won’t be long before another woman comes al
