I Accidentally fell Into My Own Book. Chapter 51
The office door clicked open a few minutes later, and Carter stepped inside, carrying a heavy silver tray. He set it down carefully on the low coffee table in front of the couch, revealing a bowl of steaming chicken broth, a small plate of plain buttered toast, and a fresh glass of ice water."The kitchen prepared a light recovery meal per your instructions, sir," Carter said, keeping his professional composure intact despite the fact that I was currently lounging across the CEO's private leather sofa in faded jeans and a blood-stained t-shirt."Thank you, Carter. That will be all," Cyrus replied without looking up from his desk.Carter gave a crisp nod and left the office, pulling the door shut behind him.I sat up slowly, swinging my legs over the edge of the couch and pulling the tray toward me. I grabbed a piece of toast, took a bite, and stared blankly at the dark wood of the coffee table. As the warmth of the broth started settling into my stomach, my brain went right back to ti

The silence that followed was suffocating. He didn't move. He sat there on his knees beside the couch, completely still, staring at me like I had just suggested he burn the entire building to the ground. The color slowly returned to his face, replaced by a dark, stubborn intensity that made the air in the room feel heavy."No," he said. His voice was quiet, absolute, and unyielding."Crest, I literally just bled all over your expense reports," I said, shaking my head with a weak, sarcastic sigh. "I'm a liability. I'm a terrible assistant, I wear sneakers to work and I call you Shadow Daddy. Fire me.""No," he repeated, his voice dropping into that deep, raspy tone that left zero room for argument. He stood up slowly, towering over the couch, his hands resting on his hips as he looked down at me. "I am not firing you, Erin. Not today, not tomorrow, and not after whatever happened out at that desk.""Why?" I asked, looking up at him from the leather cushions. "Give me one logical corpo

The sudden, brutal pressure in my lungs didn't just snap back to normal. My chest felt like it was trapped in a heavy, rusted iron cage, every shallow gasp of air burning straight down my windpipe like swallowing broken glass.My vision flickered in heavy, dark pulses of red static. The floor was still slanting sideways under my sneakers, and the metallic taste of copper filled my mouth as blood kept trickling down my top lip, dripping off my chin onto the front of my t-shirt.Before I could even process what was happening, he slid one arm under my knees and the other around my back, lifting me right out of my chair in one fluid, violent motion. My head fell back against his shoulder, my fingers weakly digging into the dark fabric of his suit jacket just to keep the room from spinning out of control."Cyrus…" the woman started, stepping back in total shock, her expensive heels clicking sharply against the floor."Get out of the way, Victoria," Cyrus growled, his voice stripped of ever

I showed up to the executive floor at eight-fifteen in my usual outfit, a pair of jeans, a plain white t-shirt, white sneakers, and my hair thrown into a loose, messy bun held together by a scrunchie. I carried my bag, set my plastic water bottle on the desk, and pulled up my blank spreadsheets.Seeing Cyrus step into that SUV last night with a woman who looked like she stepped off a runway hadn't broken my heart. It had just cleared my head. It was a cold, necessary reality check. This whole universe was a rigged story engine, Cyrus Crest was a walking dark-romance archetype, and my singular goal was to break the plot, survive the tropes, and find a way back to my real life.I kicked my sneakers off under the partition wall, pulled my feet up onto the base of my chair, and started logging routine expense reports like an actual employee.Cyrus came out of his office three separate times before eleven o'clock.He didn't bring me memos to edit. He didn't ask for a calendar update. He ju

By five o'clock, the 40th floor was completely dead. The rest of the staff had packed up their bags and slipped out early, leaving only the quiet hum of the air conditioning and the bright fluorescent lights above my desk.I finished logging the last batch of bogus travel expenses, slammed my laptop shut, and tossed my pen into my bag. I stood up, stretched my arms over my head, and tossed my bag over my shoulder.I walked past the wall of the office and peeked my head through the cracked door. Cyrus was sitting behind his wide desk, reviewing a stack of legal contracts with a heavy pen in his hand. He had his suit jacket off, his sleeves rolled up to his forearms, and a dark, focused look on his face."Shadow Daddy, I'm out," I said casually, resting my hand against the doorframe.Cyrus paused, his pen hovering an inch above the paper. He slowly raised his head, his eyes fixing on me through the glass. He looked at my messy bun, my plain gray t-shirt, and my bag, letting out a quiet,

The two-hour mark hit down to the second.CLACK-CHUNK.The heavy steel security doors at the end of the aisle unlatched with a loud pneumatic hiss. Overhead, the main breakers sputtered back to life, flooding Sub-Basement B4 with harsh, buzzing fluorescent light that made me squint.I didn't move immediately. I stayed stretched out on the concrete floor, my head still resting on Cyrus's legs like a makeshift couch cushion, shielding my eyes with my arm."Power's back," I said, my voice muffled against my elbow. "Told you it'd be two hours."Cyrus sat beside me, completely motionless. His legs were still stiff as iron, though his hands had shifted slightly to rest on the floor on either side of my shoulders. He let out a slow, steady breath that rattled quietly in his chest, looking down at me through the bright white light."Erin," he said, his tone dry, flat, and thoroughly exhausted. "Get off my legs.""Alright, alright," I grumbled, pushing myself up onto my elbows.I sat up, stret
