Minutes later, Violet Lin sashayed back to her desk.

Her smug little smirk said it all: she thought she’d bagged the project.

As she passed me, she let out a little scoff.

Had she pulled something shady again? Probably.

I didn’t bite. Didn’t even blink in her direction.

My proposal was solid.

But showing up late this morning was a stain I couldn’t scrub off.

If I were Eliza Black, I wouldn’t trust someone who couldn’t read a clock either.

Thirty agonising minutes later, Savannah stepped out of the office with her phone still in hand.

From the look on her face, she’d just hung up.

‘Eliza Black’s people got back to us,’ she said, scanning the room. ‘She picked Violet Lin.’

Silence.

Then—

‘Really?’ Violet gasped, one hand clutched to her cheek like she’d just been proposed to. ‘Eliza Black actual

    ‘No, no, that’s not what I meant!’ Priya looked on the verge of tears again. ‘I just didn’t put it very well…’She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. Her fingers were red and cracked, the skin flaking near the knuckles. Some of the patches looked raw.‘It’s only November,’ I said, frowning. ‘What the hell happened to your hands?’She jerked her arms back into her sleeves. ‘It’s nothing. I’m used to doing chores back home.’I stared at her. She looked small again, hunched in that oversized coat, trying to disappear into it. I let out a breath.‘You’d be better off staying here and getting a job. You can’t keep playing maid for those people. Your mum was talking about marrying you off just now, wasn’t she?’She nodded. ‘They found some guy, forty years old. They’d come to sort of arrangement before

    One of the men at the table looked up and squinted.‘Hey. Who the hell are you? How’d you get in here?’Another twisted around and whistled. ‘Who ordered a call girl?’‘Not me.’‘You stupid fuck, that’s not a call girl. Not dressed like that.’I walked in.A guy with patchy facial hair stood up and waved a hand. ‘Alright, seriously, who even are you?’I kicked aside a banana peel on the floor and said, ‘I’m the one who pays the rent.’The laughter came immediately.‘This place belongs to Priya. You her stalker or something?’I stared at the ceiling and exhaled hard through my nose. ‘Funny. No one told me the flat changed its last name to Sharma.’That finally got them quiet.Neal had turned around, gaping.Leila Sharma rushed out of the kitchen.Rohan popped up from the sofa

    Yvaine said simply, ‘He’s hot. He treats me well. I like him. I’m not planning our wedding. If he starts sniffing around anyone else, I’m out. Simple as that.’I opened my mouth. Closed it again.She wouldn’t listen now.If I pushed, she’d only dig in harder. She’d convince herself everyone wanted to keep them apart, and he’d look even more appealing.I knew that because I’d done it. I’d clung to Rhys Granger with both arms and most of my dignity, even after everyone warned me he was bad news.Maybe Yvaine really could walk away. Maybe she meant what she said.I hoped so.The doctor finished patching up Cassian, and we stepped into the room together.Ashton had already sorted a nurse for him.Cassian was calling his family, lying about having to be away on a business trip for weeks.Just before I left with Ashton, I paused at the door.Yvaine

    Emmett leaned back into the sofa, face blank, shirt still spattered red.Ashton stepped forward. ‘Emmett, whatever happened, this isn’t the place to deal with it. He needs a hospital. Unless you’re really planning to let him bleed out in your sister’s living room.’‘Mr Laurent,’ he said, flat and clipped. ‘This is my family’s problem. Not yours.’Under any other circumstances, Ashton would’ve walked out or started swinging.Instead, he took half a step back and adjusted his tone like he was trying not to spook a wild animal.‘Emmett. I’m not here to interfere. Cassian’s a friend. I’m just asking you to let him get medical attention. He’s in no shape to argue. Neither are we, if something worse happens tonight.’‘He’s not dying,’ Emmett said without even looking at Cassian. ‘I didn’t go for the kill. He brought t

    Sunlight hit my face like a slap.I cracked my eyes open and immediately regretted it.My mouth was dry. My back ached. My thighs felt like I’d done squats in six-inch heels, which I hadn’t.I couldn’t move. I was wrapped in the duvet like a corpse.I groaned, kicked the damn thing off, and sat up.My hair stuck to the side of my face. My left earring was gone.The room smelled like fresh linen and faint cologne—Ashton’s.Right. He’d dragged me out of the bar.Everything after that was static.I grabbed my phone from the nightstand.Eight-twelve.My head throbbed behind my eyes.I showered, threw on clean clothes, and made it halfway to the stairs before my phone buzzed.I picked up. ‘Yvaine. I’m never going to order that drink again—’‘Mira, are you with Ashton?’ Her voice was raspy. Shaky. ‘Tell him to come.

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 125 Ashton’s POV: Clarity

    Ashton’s pulse surged, his body burning with an intensity that made him want to tear off his shirt, shred his coat, and set fire to his trousers.The source of the heat was currently twined around him like a vine, rubbing against him like a cat marking its territory.After she’d kissed him—long, hard, like she was reclaiming all the oxygen he’d stolen from her earlier—she’d hung to him like a tree sloth.He’d held her there, standing.They stayed like that until she was beginning to nod off.Gently, he tried to pry her hand from his neck.‘Come on, you need sleep,’ he murmured, voice rough.‘No…’ she protested, her grip tightening on him. ‘Clothes.
