I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 109: Growing Family
LiamThe back door slams shut behind me, rattling the frame in its casing. I cross the yard in four long strides, my boots sinking into the damp grass, and I find David crouched beside the vegetable patch, his small hands buried in the soil. He looks up when my shadow falls across him, his face smeared with dirt, his eyes wide with the kind of guilt that only a three-year-old can wear."Papa," he says, his voice a whisper."David.""I was helping."I crouch beside him, brushing a clump of dirt from his cheek. "Helping with what?"He points at the row of carrots I planted last week. "I wanted to see if they were growing."I look at the row of carrots. Five of them are now uprooted, their orange tips poking out of the soil like tiny, defeated noses."David," I say again, and this time I cannot keep the amusement out of my voice. "Those are not ready yet."He frowns, his brow furrowing in a way that reminds me so much of Zoe. "But I was patient.""Patience means waiting. Not digging."He
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 108: First Step
Zoe The fire pops in the hearth, a small explosion of orange sparks that briefly illuminates the shadows huddled in the corners of the room. I watch them die against the stone, returning the space to its dim, amber glow. My grandfather has not moved from his chair, his hands still clasped between his knees, his grey eyes fixed on me with an intensity that makes my skin prickle. "You have questions," he says again. I do not answer immediately. I let the silence stretch, let the weight of his words settle into the space between us. He has waited years for this moment. He can wait a few more minutes. "Why did you disappear?" I ask finally. His gaze drops to his hands, and I watch his fingers tighten around each other. "Because I made a choice. A wrong one." "Wrong for whom?" He looks up, his eyes meeting mine. "For everyone." Liam shifts beside me, his hand finding mine. I feel the warmth of his palm, the quiet strength of his presence, and I hold onto it like an anchor. "I had
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 107: Drive
LiamThe gravel crunches beneath the tires as I guide the car to a stop, the headlights cutting through the darkness to illuminate a weathered porch and a door that has seen better decades. The house is small, tucked away at the end of a winding gravel driveway, its windows dark except for a single light burning in the front room. Beside me, Zoe sits rigid, her hands clasped in her lap, her grey eyes fixed on the house as if she expects it to vanish if she blinks."You are gripping the door handle like you are about to jump out," I say.She looks down at her hand and slowly uncurls her fingers. "Sorry.""Do not apologize." I turn off the engine, and the silence rushes in, thick and immediate. The only sound is the faint hum of the cooling engine and the distant chirp of crickets hidden in the tall grass. "We can sit here as long as you need."She shakes her head. "If I sit here any longer, I will talk myself out of it."I reach over and take her hand, my fingers warm against hers. "Th

ZoeThe car engine sputters as I turn the key, the metal grinding against itself like a wounded animal refusing to die. I press the gas, and the car lurches forward, the wheels kicking up gravel as I pull out of the driveway. Beside me, Eleanor grips the door handle, her knuckles white, her jaw set in a line I recognize from my own reflection."Slow down," she says."No.""Zoe—""I said no." I keep my eyes fixed on the road ahead, the fields blurring past in a smear of green and brown. The cottage disappears in the rearview mirror, swallowed by the dust cloud trailing behind us.She called me this morning. Not to apologize. Not to explain. To tell me she was coming back. To tell me she had news but she refused to share over the phone.Now, I am driving toward the town she named, and I do not know what I will find.The town is small, the kind of place where everyone knows everyone else's business before it happens. I park the car in front of a diner with a flickering neon sign, and Ele
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 105: Name
LiamThe wood of the crib is smooth beneath my palm, each slat sanded and polished until the grain catches the light. I have been standing here for the past ten minutes, not moving, just looking at this cradle I built with my own hands. It is solid. It is steady. It is the first piece of a life I am building with my own hands.Zoe is asleep in the next room, the third child growing inside her, her body weary from the work of creation. I left her an hour ago, her grey eyes soft with exhaustion, her hand still resting on the curve of her belly. She has been dreaming, I think. Her lips have been moving, forming words I can not hear.I turn from the crib and walk to the window. Outside, the garden is a riot of colour, the tulips finally in bloom. Red and gold and purple, they sway in the breeze, their petals open to the sun. I think about the bulbs we planted together, the ones buried in the dark soil, waiting for this moment.I think about my father. About the man I never truly knew. Abo
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 104: Third Baby
ZoeThe pain is familiar now. I have done this twice before. But knowing what to expect does not make it easier. The contractions roll through me like waves, each one building, cresting, and receding with a rhythm that is both relentless and consuming. I grip the edge of the bed, my knuckles white, my breath coming in short, sharp gasps.Liam is beside me, his hand gripping mine, his dark eyes fixed on my face. He has been here before. He knows what to do. But I see the fear in his eyes, the same fear he carries every time we go through this."Zoe," he says, his voice steady despite the tremor in his hands. "You are doing so well."I want to tell him that I am not doing well, that I am terrified, that this pain is worse than I remember. But another contraction hits, and the words are lost in a cry that tears from my throat.The midwife is calm, her hands steady, her voice a soothing thread in the chaos. "You are almost there, Zoe. Just a few more pushes."I gather every ounce of stren
