I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 133: Unfinished Business
Zoe The storage unit was on the edge of town, tucked behind a row of abandoned warehouses, its metal door rusted, its lock stiff with age. Eleanor had given me the key two days ago, pressed it into my palm with trembling fingers, and told me it belonged to Arthur. She had been paying the rent for twenty-six years. She had never opened it. I stood in front of the door, the key in my hand, the cold metal biting into my skin. Liam was beside me, his shoulder brushing against mine, his dark eyes fixed on the unit. "Are you ready?" he asked. I had been asked that question so many times in the past months. And every time, I had given the same answer. "No. But I am here." The lock clicked open. The door groaned as I pulled it up, the sound echoing through the empty lot. Dust swirled in the air, catching the pale light of the afternoon. I stepped inside. The unit was small, cramped, filled with boxes stacked floor to ceiling. A workbench sat against the far wall, covered in tools and p

LiamThe trial date was set. Three weeks from Tuesday. I read the words on the paper three times, the ink stark against the white page, the implications settling into my bones like frost. Three weeks until Eleanor would stand in a courtroom and tell the world about the network. Three weeks until the men who had killed my father would face justice. Three weeks until everything could change.I folded the paper and tucked it into my jacket. I was standing in the parking garage beneath the courthouse, the concrete cold, the air thick with exhaust. I had come here to meet with the lawyers. I had not expected to stay.But my feet would not move.The garage reminded me of another parking garage. Another night. Another death.I had not been there when my father died. I had been at home, asleep, oblivious to the fact that my world was about to collapse. But I had seen the photographs. I had seen the bloodstains. I had memorized the exact spot where he had fallen.I wondered if it was here. If

ZoeThe letter was folded in my pocket, pressed against my thigh like a second heartbeat. I had read it so many times that the words had carved themselves into my memory, but I still reached for it every few minutes, just to feel the paper beneath my fingers.Liam was driving. The road stretched ahead of us, narrow and winding, cutting through the countryside I had never seen. Eleanor had given us the directions, her voice trembling as she spoke. She had not asked to come. She had simply pressed a piece of paper into my hand and told me to go.He is buried at the old chapel. On the hill. No one visits. No one knows.I watched the trees blur past the window, my mind turning over the same thought again and again. Arthur. My father. A man I had never met, who had died protecting me, who had left me a letter I would carry for the rest of my life.The chapel appeared at the top of the hill, small and weathered, its stone walls covered in ivy, its roof sagging. A graveyard stretched behind

EleanorThe porch was cold, the wind carrying the scent of rain and pine, and I pulled my shawl tighter around my shoulders as I waited for Zoe to speak. She stood in front of me, her grey eyes fixed on mine, her hands clenched at her sides. Liam was behind her, a silent presence, his dark eyes watchful.She had asked me to tell her about Arthur. I had been dreading this moment for twenty-six years."His name was Arthur Cole," I said, my voice steady despite the trembling in my hands. "He was Liam's uncle. Your father's brother."Zoe's brow furrowed. "Liam's uncle?"I nodded, a slow, deliberate movement. "Arthur and David were brothers. They grew up together, worked together, fought together. When David married your grandmother, Arthur was his best man."I paused, the memories rising like ghosts. "Arthur was a good man. Kind. Gentle. He had a laugh that could fill a room. And he loved your mother more than anything in the world.""My mother," Zoe repeated. "Helena.""Yes." I looked do

Zoe The gravel crunched beneath my boots as I walked toward the cliff's edge, the wind pulling at my hair, the sea roaring below. Liam was behind me, his footsteps steady, his presence a quiet anchor in the storm of my thoughts. I had asked him to bring me here. I had asked him to let me stand at the edge and look down. I needed to see the drop. I needed to understand what it meant to fall. The cliff was not high, not like the ones in the stories. Perhaps fifty feet. Enough to break bones. Enough to kill if you landed wrong. I stood at the edge, my toes inches from the precipice, and I looked down at the churning water below. The waves crashed against the rocks, white foam spraying upward, and I felt the pull of gravity, the temptation to lean forward just a little more. "Zoe." Liam's voice was calm, but I heard the tension beneath it. "Step back." I did not move. "Zoe." I turned to look at him. His dark eyes were fixed on me, his hands at his sides, his body coiled like a sp
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 128: Breaking Point
Liam The porch light was still on when I pulled into the driveway, its yellow glow cutting through the darkness like a warning. I had been in town, meeting with the lawyers, and finalizing the details of Eleanor's testimony. I had expected to come home to a quiet house, to sleeping children and a wife who would wrap her arms around me and tell me everything was going to be okay. Instead, I found Eleanor on the porch steps, her face buried in her hands, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs. I killed the engine and crossed to her in three strides. "What happened?" She looked up, her grey eyes red-rimmed, her face pale. "Zoe. She found the photographs. She knows about Arthur." I felt the ground shift beneath my feet. "Where is she?" "I do not know. She walked out. Hours ago. I have not heard from her." I pulled out my phone and dialled Zoe's number. It rang once, twice, three times, then went to voicemail. I tried again. Same result. "Stay here," I said to Eleanor. "Watch the c
