Yvonne,

The moment I stepped into the office, the atmosphere shifted so subtly that only someone used to hostile rooms would notice it.

Conversations faltered. Chairs scraped faintly as people adjusted in their seats. Those who usually avoided my presence now looked at me openly, their gazes lingering with thinly veiled judgment. I felt it on my skin, that sudden awareness of being observed, assessed, and already condemned.

The whispers followed me down the corridor, low and fragmented. I kept my pace steady and my posture straight, even as my pulse began to thud a little harder against my ribs. Near the corner, my manager—the man with the protruding belly and permanently smug grin, snickered under his breath before turning away. His shoulders shook faintly, as if he found the entire situation amusing.

I did not react. I had learned long ago that visible irritation only fed people like him.

Still, a tightness settled at the base of my throat as I reached Taylor’s office.

  • Into His Mistress's Body: Billionaire's Heartless Wife    Almost Slipped up

    Yvonne, I didn’t expect to see Mrs Blackwell there. She was standing beside Dante, looking worried about Aurora. But on the way home, she didn't accuse me of not protecting her well or something. We had just returned home after a quick check on Aurora’s elbow. Thankfully, nothing major had happened, though I had almost blocked the shelves in time. Despite being in pain, Aurora had no break. From playing in her playroom to trying to sneak into the pool room unsupervised, everything was already on her list for the day. She played well in the amusement park. But slept a bit in the car. It was enough to fuel her energy. Mrs Blackwell, who came with us, kept an eye on her, running here and there. Although she looked stiff a bit as if she was handling a delicate glass, Aurora who was happy to have her there, started talking to her on her own. The usual shyness she used to show, had shifted to something more exciting and energy costing. Dante walked out after changing. Wearing a

  • Into His Mistress's Body: Billionaire's Heartless Wife    A minor injury

    Dante,On the way back, I noticed Veronica, listing everything on her phone carefully. Now, pushing the cart, I watched her taking the grocery haul too seriously.Honestly each day had become a book of mystery with her. As if I had no idea what she would do next. Behaving like a perfect mother who took care of Aurora as if she had experience for years, who somehow knew how to cook in a perfect way, puzzled me more than I wanted to admit.Even when I told Taylor about her cooking, he laughed at me, saying I might be falling for her. Otherwise how could I praise her cooking? She even burned the entire kitchen in her own apartment. He had to renovate it later.Yet here she was, walking between shelves with the calm precision of someone who had done this a thousand times, comparing labels, checking dates, muttering small calculations under her breath. It felt strange, watching her like this, as if I was looking at a version of Veronica I had never known existed.“ I don't think this sauce

  • Into His Mistress's Body: Billionaire's Heartless Wife    Pearl's stalking

    Pearl, "Why are you blaming me? I wasn't the one who messed it up. Listen, if you can't fix things, I won't help you anymore!" I ended the call without waiting for her reply and threw the phone onto the bed. It slid across the sheets and hit the floor with a dull sound. Nothing was going the way I had planned. Every step I had carefully arranged was collapsing in front of me. Once, everything had been under my control. Dante’s habits, his schedule, his emotions—I knew them better than he knew himself. I had shaped his world slowly, patiently, the way a sculptor shapes stone. And now he was slipping away. Because of that woman. My jaw tightened as anger burned in my chest. Fuck her. She should have died from the beginning. If she had, none of this would be happening. Dante would still be exactly where he belonged. With me. I forced myself to calm down. Rage was useless if it wasn’t controlled. I needed a new plan, and there was only one person who could help me rebuild everyth

    Yvonne,In the middle of nowhere, Dante suddenly took a U-turn and started driving in the opposite direction.“What are you doing?” I asked, my eyes widening as my fingers tightened around the seatbelt.Dante glanced at me, then at Aurora through the rearview mirror. His jaw was set, expression firm. “We’re changing the destination. I found one of the best ones and booked it fully for the day.”I stared at him, my brows knitting together, my chest tightening in confusion. “What did you just say?”He looked at me with narrowed eyes, clearly prepared to defend himself. “I booked a—!”“No!” I cut in sharply, my voice rising before I could stop it. “No. You didn’t!”He hit the brake abruptly and turned toward me, disbelief flashing across his face. “What? You want Aurora standing there for hours just to play?”I stared at him, incredulous, my lips parting slightly. “Have you ever visited an amusement park?”He didn’t reply. His silence was answer enough.I exhaled slowly, forcing myself t

  • Into His Mistress's Body: Billionaire's Heartless Wife    Plan Backfired

    Sabrina,“Mom. I didn’t do anything. Please trust me!” I begged as Taylor kicked us out of the room. The door slammed behind us with a force that echoed in my ears. My body shook violently, not from fear, but from rage. Frustration consumed me, crawling under my skin like poison.I couldn’t believe this. How could that bitch become so clever? Damn it. She even understood that it was a printed out copy with her information in. “Mom. Please… trust me. I haven’t done anything—!”“Enough, Sabrina!” Mom’s voice snapped, cold and controlled, sharp enough to cut through my desperation. “I can tolerate many things. But making my son go against me? That, I won’t tolerate. I already told you to keep your business out of his sight.”“Mom!” Tears streamed down my face as I grabbed her arm, my fingers trembling. “I am sorry. I won’t go close to Taylor again. I’m sorry!”“You better be,” she said flatly, pulling her arm away. “Mess with that girl if you want. I don’t care. But make sure my son doe

    Yvonne,"Boss. You called me?" Manager Alex walked in with a huge grin on his face. His polished shoes clicked confidently against the marble floor. The moment his gaze met Sabrina, his smugness deepened, the corner of his lips lifting as if he already owned the room. Sabrina immediately looked away, her lashes fluttering down as her nails dug into the leather cover of the thick folder she was holding. The faint creak of the folder echoed in the tense silence.Taylor, however, didn’t waste another second. He slammed the folder onto the table, the sound cracking through the room like a gunshot, and roared, “Explain this!”Alex flinched. His smile vanished instantly, color draining from his face as a flash of terror crossed his eyes. His jaw tightened, and he swallowed hard before glancing at Sabrina, who stubbornly avoided his gaze, and then at the folder as if it might bite him.With a visibly shaky hand, he reached for the folder. His fingers trembled as they brushed against the cove
