LOGINOn the night of the company’s event, under the influence, a chance encounter entwines the lives of Javeira Solace, an ordinary employee, and Leviticus Foster, the company’s CEO. A moment that should’ve faded into the back of their memories instead became a connection that binds them together. Now, would this connection be the start of something real… or the beginning of heartbreak.
View MoreThe meeting finally ended. So apparently, he visited not to hire a secretary—but to lay out the new project and assign roles.I still remember how the atmosphere shifted the moment he walked in. His cold and fierce demeanor thinned out the oxygen and shrank the room. Leviticus Foster didn’t need to raise his voice—his presence alone was enough to pin everyone in place.But during the entire meeting, I couldn’t help but be bothered feeling his gaze on me. As if he was checking something.Every time I feel those gray eyes of his sweep my direction, I could feel the heat crawling up my neck and my palms sweating. Which is why a sigh of relief fell upon me once the meeting ended.“The CEO is so handsome and scary at the same time, isn’t he?” Erica suddenly popped up beside me. I nearly jumped out of my skin.“Oh my god, Erica!” I clutched my chest. “Can you stop popping out of nowhere?”Erica stifled a laugh and smirk, locking her elbows with mine. “Come on. Be honest. He’s handsome and
Erica kept talking, but my mind was just drifting all over the place except the present. Her words blurred into noise—as if someone’s flipping book pages too fast to catch“... oh right, by the way,” Erica casually dropped the bomb, snapping me back, “the CEO’s visiting this department later.”My soul left my body. I stared at her in raw horror. Perfect. Just perfect. As if running into him in the elevator wasn’t enough for one morning, and now he’s coming here. To our department. To the same floor. Inhaling the same oxygen I breathe. Is the universe punishing me for what happened that night? If so, then I fully repent all my sins!“Really!” I blurted far too loudly. Erica clamped her hand over my mouth as some of our officemates were starting to turn to look at us. We silently bowed our heads and whispered sorry.“Vera, calm down,” she whispered, stifling a laugh. “Yes. I heard our manager say so.”“For what?” I asked, my voice thin, my stomach twisting itself into knots.“Oh, I beli
The moment I opened my eyes, a wave of nausea hit me. Great. Morning sickness.I barely made it to the bathroom before I threw up. My head throbbed—part pregnancy, part emotional exhaustion. After rinsing my mouth and splashing cold water onto my face, I brushed my teeth.When I finally stepped out, I forced myself into my work clothes. After doing so, I immediately went to the kitchen to check for food or at least something to eat.On the table sat a plate with a neatly toasted bread and a perfectly cooked egg with avocados. Beside it was a note written with a pen.Cooked your favorite toasted bread with egg. I made sure it was well done. Xoxo.My chest softened just a little.I sat down and took a careful bite. Surprisingly, my stomach didn’t protest. At least there was something my body could tolerate. Lately, almost everything Amara cooked triggered my nausea. My hand then drifted to my stomach without thinking. My eyes moved toward the full-body mirror across the room.In nine m
“You what?!” Amara exclaimed, slamming her palms on the table so hard that the vase almost fell.I winced. We had moved from the bathroom to our tiny kitchen just to talk properly, and honestly, I couldn’t blame her for losing it after hearing the story. I had finally told her what happened a few weeks ago—what I remembered of it—and who probably the father was.“Amara, please,” I urged her, lowering my voice. “Calm down, will you? It’s late. The neighbors might hear us—”“I don’t care if it’s eleven in the evening or three in the morning!” she snapped, her voice dropping only slightly. “You’re telling me you got drunk at a company event and did it with— with—”She buried her hands in her head, unable to finish the sentence.“It was a mistake!” I whispered, instinctively playing with my fingers.“A mistake?!” She stared at me like someone had personally offended her. “Girl, that did not sound like a mistake at all. It sounded like you were desperate for it just to forget that boy best
