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
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 92: The Song of the Birds
Zoe The mist clings to the surface of the lake like a secret waiting to be spoken, thin, and silver, curling upward as the sun begins to burn through the morning chill. I stand at the water's edge, my bare feet sinking into the cold, wet sand, and I listen to the world waking around me. The birds are singing—a chorus of small, persistent voices that refuse to be silenced by the weight of everything we have discovered. I think about Eleanor. About the confession she made last night, the words she spoke with trembling hands and tear-streaked cheeks. Her father is alive. He has been alive this whole time, watching from the shadows, pulling strings I did not even know existed. The network was never Viktor's alone. It was built by a man who has been hiding for decades, a man who has been waiting for the right moment to reclaim what he believes is his. I hear footsteps behind me, soft and careful, and I do not need to turn to know who it is. "Zoe." Eleanor's voice is quiet, almost
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 91: Lake Mirror
Liam The rain has not stopped for three days. It falls in sheets, relentless and grey, turning the world outside the cottage windows into a watercolour blur of green and silver. I stand at the glass, watching the droplets race each other down the pane, and I feel the weight of the past few days pressing against my shoulders like a physical presence. Zoe is asleep. She has been sleeping more since we returned from Marcus's, as if her body is finally processing the weight of what we discovered. The truth about Eleanor's father. The truth about the man who has been watching from the shadows. The truth about the legacy that has been chasing her family for generations. I turn from the window and walk to the small desk in the corner of the room. The letter from Marcus sits open, its edges already soft from being folded and unfolded. I read it again, my eyes tracing the familiar words, searching for something I might have missed. She was not running from Viktor. She was running from h
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 90: Roots We Planted
ZoeThe first drops of rain hit the windowpane like hesitant fingers, testing the glass before committing to the storm. I watch them trail downward, each one a tiny river carving its own path through the dust that has settled on the sill. The cottage feels different today—warmer, as if the walls themselves have absorbed the peace we have been piecing together.Eleanor is in the corner, her needles clicking together in a rhythm that has become as familiar as my own heartbeat. She is knitting something small, something soft, and I have not asked what it is. Some surprises are worth waiting for.I hear Liam moving in the other room, the creak of floorboards beneath his weight, the low murmur of his voice as he talks to himself. He has been doing that more often lately—talking through his thoughts as if the words need to escape before they can settle."Zoe," he calls. "Come here."I push myself up from the chair and walk toward his voice. He is standing by the window in the bedroom, his b
I Was Hired To Seduce My Boss Chapter 89: Distant Horizon
LiamThe hinges of the cottage door protest as I push it open, a thin whine that cuts through the morning stillness. I step onto the porch, and the cold air hits my face like a splash of ice water, sharp and bracing. The fields stretch out before me, cloaked in a thin layer of frost that catches the first light of dawn, turning the world into a mosaic of silver and shadow. I breathe in, and the sharpness of it fills my lungs, chasing away the remnants of sleep.Zoe is still inside, asleep in the room we now share. The ring glints on her finger when she moves, a small beacon in the darkness, and I find myself drawn back to her like a moth to a flame I can not resist. But I need this moment alone. I need to feel the cold and remind myself that I am still standing.I walk to the edge of the garden, where the bulbs are buried deep, waiting for spring. The earth is hard, frozen, but I know that beneath it, something is stirring. Something patient and persistent. Something that will not be
