Zoe

The first kick catches me off guard, a tiny fist knocking against the inside of my belly with a force that stops me mid-step. I freeze in the middle of the cottage kitchen, my hand flying to my stomach, my breath catching in my throat. For a moment, I think I have imagined it. Then it comes again—a soft but insistent flutter, like the brush of butterfly wings against my skin.

I stand there, frozen, my palm pressed flat against the curve of my belly, and I feel a smile spread across my face.

  • I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss    Chapter 102: Mother's Strength

    ZoeThe first kick catches me off guard, a tiny fist knocking against the inside of my belly with a force that stops me mid-step. I freeze in the middle of the cottage kitchen, my hand flying to my stomach, my breath catching in my throat. For a moment, I think I have imagined it. Then it comes again—a soft but insistent flutter, like the brush of butterfly wings against my skin.I stand there, frozen, my palm pressed flat against the curve of my belly, and I feel a smile spread across my face. She is moving. Our daughter is moving."Liam," I call out, my voice trembling with a joy I cannot contain. "Liam, come here."He appears in the doorway, his dark eyes sharp with concern, his hands still damp from the dishes he has been washing. "What is wrong?""Nothing." I reach for him, pulling his hand to my stomach. "Feel."His brow furrows, and I see the hesitation in his gaze, the fear that he might not feel what I feel. Then the flutter comes again, a soft kick against his palm, and I wa

  • I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss    Chapter 101: Father's Joy

    Liam The wooden slats are smooth beneath my fingertips, each one sanded and polished until the grain catches the light like threads of gold. I step back from the crib, wiping a smear of sawdust from my forehead, and I let myself feel the weight of what I have just done. This crib is not just furniture. It is the first piece of a life I am building with my own hands. Zoe is asleep in the other room. I left her an hour ago, her hand resting on the swell of her belly, her breathing slow and steady. She has been exhausted lately, her body working double-time to grow the life inside her. I watch her sometimes when she sleeps, marveling at the quiet strength she carries so effortlessly. She does not know how beautiful she is in those moments, how the sight of her fills me with a fierce, protective love. I move to the window and push it open, letting the cool afternoon air sweep into the room. Outside, the garden is alive with color, the tulips finally in full bloom. Red and gold and purp

  • I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss    Chapter 100: Family Grows

    ZoeThe nursery walls are the colour of fresh cream, soft and warm, catching the afternoon light that spills through the window like liquid gold. I stand in the centre of the room, my hands resting on my stomach, watching Liam wrestle with the crib instructions spread across the floor like a paper puzzle he is determined to solve. His brow is furrowed, his lips pressed into a thin line of concentration, and I bite back a smile as he mutters something under his breath that sounds suspiciously like a curse."You know," I say, my voice light, "you could ask for help."He looks up, a screwdriver clutched in one hand, his dark hair falling across his forehead. "I am not asking for help. I am winning.""You are losing.""I am strategizing."I laugh, the sound filling the empty room, and I feel a warmth spread through my chest that has nothing to do with the sun filtering through the glass. This is what we have built. This is what we have fought for. A home. A family. A future.Eleanor appea

  • I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss    Chapter 99: Crown of Us

    Liam The wooden box sits on the table between us, its surface worn smooth by years of handling, its contents finally at rest. I trace the edge of the lid with my finger, feeling the grain of the wood, the small imperfections that tell the story of its journey. Inside are the letters, the photographs, the fragments of a past that no longer hold power over us. Zoe is beside me, her hand resting on the box, her grey eyes fixed on the closed lid. She does not speak, but I feel the weight of her presence, the quiet strength of her companionship. We have been through so much together, have carried so many burdens, and have uncovered so many secrets. And now, we are finally ready to set them down. "Liam," she says, her voice soft. "What happens now?" I turn to look at her, at the woman who has become my reason, my purpose, my home. "Now we live. We build. We choose who we want to be." She meets my gaze, her grey eyes steady. "And who do you want to be?" I reach out and take her hand, m

  • I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss    Chapter 98: Garden's Promise

    ZoeThe flour dusts my fingers like fine snow as I press my palms into the soft dough, folding and turning, feeling the elasticity build beneath my touch. The kitchen is warm, the fire crackling softly in the hearth, and the scent of yeast and woodsmoke mingles in the air. Outside the window, the garden stretches toward the grey sky, its bare soil waiting for the seeds we have not yet planted.Eleanor sits at the table, her needles clicking a steady rhythm, a half-finished blanket pooling in her lap. She has been knitting for weeks now, working on something she refuses to describe. I have stopped asking. Some mysteries are better left unsolved until they are ready to be revealed."You have a gentle hand," she says, her gaze fixed on her work. "Your grandmother had the same touch. She could make bread rise with nothing but patience and warmth."I smile, shaping the dough into a smooth ball. "I never knew her.""She would have loved you." Eleanor looks up, her grey eyes soft. "She would

  • I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss    Chapter 97: The Moon's Reflection

    LiamThe silence in the cottage is not the same as it was before. It is not heavy with secrets or choked with things left unsaid. It is the silence of two people who have finally stopped running, who have laid their cards on the table and are learning to breathe again.I sit at the table, the letters spread before me like a map of a past I never knew existed. The ink is faded, the paper worn, but the words are still sharp, still cutting. My father's handwriting. Eleanor's handwriting. Two people who loved each other and kept it hidden from everyone, even from themselves.I trace the curve of a letter, my finger following the path of his pen. He wrote with urgency, the words pressed deep into the paper as if he was afraid they would not be read.If you are reading this, I am already gone. I am sorry for the secrets. I am sorry for the lies. I am sorry I could not protect you.I fold the letter and set it aside. The weight of it is small, but the weight of its meaning is not.Zoe is sle
