Evelyn’s POV

I shut my eyes. It was the only instinct I had left.

Then I heard a soft thud.

I opened my eyes slowly. The mug lay on the floor, unbroken, cushioned by the thick rug.

For a second, I couldn’t move. Then everything rushed back at once. The nurse sprang into action immediately. “You have to leave, ma’am.”

I didn’t argue. I didn’t even hesitate. He was a madman and I had just narrowly escaped being hit.

“I don’t deserve to be treated this way after you abandoned me for years,” I sai

  • In love with my boss   187. Tell me your dreams

    Rosa's POV A week after I started avoiding the coffee, I finally had a dream. Not an ordinary dream. It felt so real that when I woke up, I expected to wake up in the mansion I had been in my dream.In the dream, I had been standing inside a huge house that looked like a mansion. There were people around me. Faces I recognised and voices I knew.It had not felt like imagination. It had felt like a part of my memory.I sat upright immediately, trying to hold onto the details before they disappeared. My head throbbed lightly as I struggled to remember the faces I had seen.Someone had been smiling at me. Someone had called my name…And then the bedroom door opened. Charles walked in carrying the usual cup of coffee.The moment I saw it, my thoughts scattered because my mind started spinning with how to avoid the drink. Before I could even continue trying to remember the dream, Charles had already crossed the room and sat beside me, smiling softly while handing me the cup.By the time I

  • In love with my boss   186. A bold step

    Evelyn's POV My body had still been trembling even several minutes after I spoke. Not because I had been scared of the boardroom.But every single time I had stood in that room before, I had stood against Rosa. I had humiliated her publicly…in this room.I had treated her like an outsider even after everything she had done for this family. And now, for the first time, I had stood up to defend her.The weight of that realization sat heavily inside my chest as I remained seated, trying to ignore the looks that had quietly started moving around the room. I already knew what everybody was thinking.Evelyn Kane defending Rosa Castillo?It probably sounded impossible to them.Alex’s voice eventually broke through the silence.“Since the software was created by both Rosa Castillo and Evelyn Kane, then there is no reason it cannot be presented to the partners.”I nodded slightly, trying to steady myself. Nobody argued after that. They could not.The moment my name became attached to the soft

  • In love with my boss   185. Beyond brilliance

    Alex's POV The last thing I wanted was to sit in that house and drown in Rosa’s absence.Every corner of the mansion reminded me of her. My father kept asking about her, and each time he did, I found myself lying just to keep him calm. The nurses had continued making the coffee Rosa used to prepare for him every morning, and somehow, it was helping his recovery. He remembered her constantly. It was a good sign…but it was an ugly reminder.I could not stay there any longer and wait for a miracle to happen, for the door of the bedroom to open and Rosa would stand there, with a traveling bag, announcing that she had gone on a vacation.So I went to work.Before leaving the house that morning, I picked up Rosa’s laptop carefully. My fingers lingered against it for a moment because it still felt like holding a piece of her. The software design inside that laptop had become more important than ever.Kane Tech was crumbling. Rumors had spread across the media about the international partne

  • In love with my boss   184. Something in the coffee

    Rosa's POV It was the coffee.The realization came to me slowly that night, piece by piece, until it settled certainly in my chest.I lay on the bed beside Charles with my eyes open long after the lights went out, and my heart racing too hard for sleep to come. My mind kept replaying the text message I had seen on his phone earlier that evening.I kept trying to remember when exactly Charles had given me medicine, but the more I thought about it, the more confused I became. I replayed every part of my day from beginning to end, searching for anything I might have forgotten.I remembered every conversations we had clearly. I remembered all the meals we ate for the whole week.But I could not remember taking any medication from Charles.Not once.That was what terrified me the most. Because if Dr. Anthony was warning him about overdosing me, then it meant one thing.Charles had been giving me something without my knowledge.I turned slowly on the bed and stared into the darkness. That

  • In love with my boss   183. Overdose

    Rosa's POV I started feeling better a few minutes later after I took the prescribed drugs. But emotionally, I was still upset.Very upset.I sat at the edge of the bed quietly, arms folded across my chest, staring at nothing in particular when Charles finally came into the room.The moment he saw my expression, he sighed softly.“I know you’re angry with me,” he said as he walked closer.I did not answer.He sat beside me carefully and reached for my hand, but I did not move.“Rosa,” he said softly, “everything I’m doing is for your own good. You heard the doctor. Your blood pressure is okay because I'm constantly trying to keep you indoors.”I finally turned toward him.“You refused to take me to the hospital despite the fact that I was in pain,” I muttered.“I was trying to protect you,” he replied immediately. “Your blood pressure is high, and the doctor specifically warned against unnecessary stress.”I looked away again. He continued talking anyway.“That’s why he doesn’t mind b

  • In love with my boss   182. Crampy morning

    Rosa's POV I woke up feeling wrong. At first, it was just a dull ache curling around my stomach, the kind of discomfort that made me think maybe I had slept badly or eaten something my body did not like. I stayed still for a moment, breathing slowly and waiting for it to pass.But it did not.Instead, it began to spread to my back and I knew I was sick. I needed Charles and I didn't think I could shout loud enough for him to hear me.The moment I tried to sit up, a sharp pain stabbed through my back and down my side so suddenly that I sucked in a breath and grabbed the edge of the bed. My entire body tensed immediately.Something was definitely wrong.Fear climbed into my chest so fast that it almost choked me.“The baby,” I whispered to myself, pressing a hand against my stomach.I forced myself out of bed anyway, even though my legs felt weak and every step hurt. The pain was not unbearable, but it was enough to make panic bloom inside my chest with every passing second because I f

  • In love with my boss   94. I wasn't ready for another heartbreak

    Rosa’s POV“I’m Cat,” the lady was saying, a smirk dancing on her lips, when Alex rushed to my side. He didn’t say a word. He simply pulled me away, his grip firm, and led me back to our room. Once the door closed, he squeezed my hand tightly, like he was scared I might slip through his fingers.
