In love with my husband’s boss 13
The moment I stepped into the law office, I felt like I was holding my breath. I had judiciously planned my paycheck. It wasn't a lot but it was enough to start something. The silence in the room was too much and I wasn't sure I could bear it. There was a woman at the front desk. She smiled at me when she looked up, “Melissa Ross?” I still felt a sting in my chest whenever I heard that name “Ross”. I couldn't wait to stop bearing that last name. “Yes” I said, smoothing out the blouse I had ironed multiple times this morning. “You can head in. Attorney James is expecting you. The third door on the left” I walked slowly down the hall, my heels muffled by the plush carpeting. My palms were sweating and my heart was beating. I found my way around the hallway and located the third door. His name was written boldly on the door in black letters, on a golden rectangular plaque. I took a deep breath before knocking. Hearing the response from the other end, I slowly pushed the

NICHOLAS’ POV I hated distractions and unnecessary chaos. And I certainly didn't have time for personal entanglements. Yet here I was standing in my office, replaying every second of the encounter between Steve and Melissa Steve Ross was a desperate man. I’d seen his type before men who thrived on control, who viewed people as possessions, who masked their insecurities with power. They were predictable. Dangerous, yes, but predictable. I leaned back in my chair, watching the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office. From here, everything looked small and manageable. But down below? That was where things got messy. Where people like Steve made problems for people like me. My jaw tightened at the thought of him storming into my building today, his temper barely leashed as he confronted Melissa in the lobby. His wife. Or rather, his soon-to-be ex-wife. I'm sure he hated the thought of that, the thought of losing her. And if there was one thing I was

MELISSA’S POV I should have known today was cursed the second I stepped into the office. There had been a heaviness in the air, an unshakable feeling that something was coming. Something I wouldn’t be ready for. And I was right. Because when I stepped into the lobby after finishing up a meeting, my past was waiting for me. Steve I nearly lost my footing when I saw him, standing in the middle of the Redmond’s pristine marble lobby like he owned the damn place. I hadn't seen him in days. His tailored suit was sharp as ever, his posture commanding, his presence suffocating “Melissa” The weight of the world pressed against my spine. “Steve,” I say calmly. His eyes raked over me, dark and unreadable. His eyes were lingering too long in the blouse and pencil skirt I had put on this morning. I gripped the folder in my hands, grounding myself. “What are you doing here?” He took a slow step toward me, his expression unreadable. “I could ask you the same thing.” My fi

MELISSA’S POV If someone had told me a month ago that I’d be spending my afternoon following Nicholas Redmond around like his personal shadow, I would have laughed in their face. Yet, here I was, striding through the marble-floored lobby of a five-star hotel, struggling to keep up with his long, effortless strides. “Try to keep up, Mrs. Ross” he said without looking back. I scowled, adjusting the folder in my arms. “Not all of us have legs that go on for miles.” He let out a low chuckle, and I hated how much I liked the sound of it, profound, smooth, and effortless. We were here for a private business meeting with a potential investor, one of those high-stakes conversations where every word mattered. Mr Redmond had insisted I come along, claiming it was part of the job. But I wasn’t stupid. This wasn’t about me taking notes or organizing documents. This was a test, I wasn't sure what kind of test it was, but I knew it was a test. He led me toward the hotel’s roofto

NICHOLAS’ POV I looked out the window, my bones cracking as I stretched. I had been working all morning and decided to take a break and check on Melissa. I had quite a view of the streets from my office through the floor-to-ceiling window. I normally never waste time watching the world move beneath me. I had only watched for less than a minute before I recognized a familiar figure walking out of the building. I was confused, she was supposed to be working. Then I saw him. Steve Ross Leaning against his car, arms crossed, waiting for her like some possessive bastard who thought he still had a claim. Interesting. I set my pen down and moved closer to the window, watching as the scene unfolded. Melissa stopped a few feet from him, I could see her body was tense but composed. Steve, on the other hand? He was barely holding it together. Even from up here, I could read his body language, the frustration and anger. The kind of entitlement men like him never learned to control.

MELISSA’S POV I stood in front of the mirror, the skirt suit I had taken from my mother fit me like a glove. I haven't looked professional in a long time, since Steve made me quit my last job. I smiled, Nicholas Redmond gave me a job. The realization was hitting hard. I should have felt relieved or something close to victory, but I felt nothing but a sinking weight in my stomach. What have I just done? Mr. Redmond was right, Steve would not like any bit of this. And when Steve gets angry, he destroys. I know that better than anyone. I glanced down at the business card in my hand, running my thumb through the embossed letters. A part of me knew that this wasn't charity. He wasn't helping me out as an act of kindness. I pushed back the thoughts, I can deal with that later. I walked through the doors as usual, but this time it was different. I was here to work. I walked up to the reception desk. I couldn't recognize the lady so I just went on. “Hi I'm Melissa Ross”
