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
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 96: The Stars Above
ZoeThe letters lie scattered across the table, their edges soft and worn, their ink faded to the colour of dried blood. I pick one up, my fingers trembling, and I read the words my mother wrote decades ago, words she never had the courage to speak aloud. Each sentence is a fragment of a life I never knew existed, a story buried beneath layers of silence and regret.Liam sits across from me, his dark eyes fixed on the letters, his hands clasped in front of him. He has not spoken since we began reading, but I feel the weight of his presence, the quiet strength of his companionship.I fold the letter and set it aside. The paper is warm from my hands, as if the words themselves still carry the heat of the woman who wrote them."She loved him," I say. "Your father. She loved him."Liam nods, a slow, almost imperceptible movement. "And he loved her."I look down at the stack of letters, at the evidence of a love that was never meant to be discovered. "They kept it hidden. They kept it from
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 95: Thread
LiamThe photograph trembles in my grip, its edges worn smooth by years of handling, its surface creased with the memory of countless fingers. I stare at the image, at the woman standing in the garden, her hand resting on the shoulder of the young girl beside her. Eleanor. Zoe. They are smiling, their faces bright with a joy I have never seen in either of them.But it is not the women who hold my attention. It is the figure in the background, barely visible through the foliage, his face half-obscured by shadow. I know that posture. I know the way he stands, the set of his shoulders, the tilt of his head. I have seen it in my own reflection, in the mirror that hangs in the hallway of my childhood home.My father."Liam?" Zoe's voice cuts through the silence. "What is it?"I look up, my dark eyes meeting her grey ones. "Your mother knew my father. She knew him well."The words hang in the air between us, heavy with implication. Zoe takes the photograph from my hands, her fingers brushin
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 94: The River's Flow
ZoeA dragonfly skims the surface of the water, its wings catching the sunlight in brief, iridescent flashes before it disappears into the reeds along the far bank. I watch it go, tracking its flight until it vanishes from sight, and I feel a strange sense of kinship with the tiny creature. It moves without hesitation without looking back, trusting the current to carry it where it needs to go.I wish I could say the same for myself.The river has been my companion these past few mornings, a constant presence that asks nothing of me except that I sit and listen. The water murmurs over the stones, a language I am only beginning to understand. It speaks of patience. Of persistence. Of the slow, unyielding force that shapes the world without ever raising its voice.I think about my grandfather. About the words he spoke in the dim light of his study, the confessions spilled from his lips like water from a cracked vessel. He told me about the network, about the choices he made, about the da
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 93: Fire's Warmth
LiamThe door swings shut behind us, and the sound of it echoes through the empty foyer like a stone dropped into still water. I feel Zoe tense beside me, her fingers tightening around mine, and I squeeze back, a silent reassurance that I am here. I am not going anywhere.The man with silver hair and sharp grey eyes leads us through the house, his footsteps echoing against the worn wooden floors. The air is thick with dust and the faint scent of old paper, and I feel the weight of decades pressing down on us from all sides.He stops in a room at the end of the hall, a study lined with bookshelves and filled with the soft glow of a single lamp. He gestures for us to sit, and I lower myself onto a worn armchair, Zoe beside me, her hand still in mine."Zoe," he says, his voice low and steady. "I have been waiting a long time for this moment.""Why?" she asks, her voice steady despite the tremor in her hands. "Why now?"He is silent for a long moment, his grey eyes fixed on her. "Because
