A week later, Tyrra felt like half her burden had been lifted. She had finally moved into the new hotel and settled into her apartment.

The past week at work with Lemar had been surprisingly drama-free and remarkably smooth. She still couldn’t believe she had managed to get through the entire week as if it were normal, even with him flirting relentlessly throughout their arrangement.

Judging by how smoothly everything had gone, and the fact that Flavier hadn’t tracked her down last week, she began to hope that luck might finally be on her side. Hopefully, it would stay that way for the remaining three weeks of the arrangement.

When she arrived at the office, Tyrra immediately noticed that Lemar was gone, his coat hung neatly on a hanger, a subtle sign that he had arrived.

To confirm, she asked her secretary. When she learned that Lemar had left earlier without mentioning where he was going, Tyrra decided to grab her coffee first before returni

    Lemar sighed deeply, torn between frustration at having to play along with Flavier and gratitude that Tyrra was keeping him grounded."Thanks for looking out for me when you should be more focused on proving your innocence," he said, his voice edged with both admiration and exasperation.Tyrra shook her head. "I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for myself," she replied, her tone firm, causing Lemar’s thoughts to drift uncomfortably to Grace and the growing suspicion that she was working with Flavier.He hesitated before speaking again. "There’s something else I think you should know… but I’m not sure if I should tell you," he admitted.Tyrra raised a brow. "What is it?"At that moment, a small voice piped up. "Mommy, I want, "Tyrra’s heart skipped a beat as Samantha ran into the bedroom. She quickly muted the call and whispered, "I'm on the phone, darling. I'll be right out," forcing a smile despite her ra

    By the time Lemar’s last meeting ended, it was well past his usual closing hours. He was drained, mentally and physically.As he drove back to his hotel, his thoughts drifted to the CCTV camera he had installed in his office that morning. He couldn’t help but wonder if Flavier had returned at any point.The moment he stepped into his suite, he ignored his tired body long enough to check the feed from the security camera. It didn’t take long for his suspicions to be confirmed. Flavier had indeed come back to remove the bug. Finally, Lemar had the proof he needed to expose him.Although he had suspected Flavier all along, seeing the evidence of his betrayal made his blood boil. He forced himself to calm down so he could think clearly, stripping off his clothes as he headed for the bathroom.The hot water cascading over him did little to wash away the anger, but it allowed him to focus. Instead of dwelling on the betrayal, he reminded himse

    Tyrra sat at her desk in the spacious office of Empowered Magazine, fingers hovering over the keyboard as she tried, and failed, to focus on the article she was editing.Although her promotion wasn’t official yet, she still had to interview Lemar, the final criterion, she was acting as editor-in-chief, a role that came with more responsibilities than she had expected. Deadlines loomed, articles demanded attention, and her to-do list seemed endless.Still, no matter how hard she tried to focus, her thoughts kept drifting back to Lemar. She found herself staring at her phone, half-expecting a call or a message from him. She knew there was no reason to expect one, yet hope refused to let go.Get it together, Tyrra, she scolded herself silently, shaking her head as if that could clear her mind. You have work to do.She forced her attention back to the article on her screen, determined to concentrate. Just as she began to settle, her phone rang,

    Grace wore a satisfied smile as she drove toward the Golden Lotus Restaurant, where she was meeting Mrs. Domino for lunch. Flavier had arranged the meeting, now that Mrs. Domino had decided Grace would be her daughter-in-law.She still could hardly believe their plan was finally falling into place. Soon, she would be married to Lemar Domino, just as she and Flavier had plotted.But as thoughts of their scheme crossed her mind, her smile faltered and was replaced by a scowl. Their attempt to have Tyrra fired had failed. Lemar seemed to trust Tyrra more than they had anticipated and was actively seeking ways to prove her innocence.The fact that Tyrra was still in the picture, aware of her and Flavier’s relationship, made Grace uneasy. They had agreed to keep their communications to phone calls, but Tyrra remained a threat, one that could expose them and ruin everything.How could she get rid of Tyrra? Grace wondered, her mind racing. She prided herse

    Tyrra stared blankly at the document on her computer screen, but the words blurred into nothing. Her mind refused to focus, crowded with thoughts she couldn’t tame. The most frustrating of all was the ache in her chest, the unmistakable longing for Lemar.No matter how often she tried to reason with herself, listing every reason she couldn’t be with him, it didn’t work. Her thoughts kept drifting back to him, his teasing, his challenges, the way he pushed her to make choices she’d never imagined.She remembered the way he held her gaze with those piercing blue eyes, the subtle brush of his fingers against hers, and most vividly, the way he had made love to her just days ago, forcing her to forget the rest of the world. The attraction between them was undeniable, a magnetic pull she couldn’t fight, even as she knew it was reckless.“Too much is going on, Evie. You shouldn’t be thinking about him,” she murmured to he

    The next day, Lemar arrived at his office earlier than usual, his mind focused on a single objective: installing a security camera.Flavier’s behavior the night before had been telling. His eagerness to know why Lemar believed Tyrra wasn’t behind the scandal made it clear that he assumed Lemar hadn’t discovered the bug yet. Lemar was certain that now Flavier had succeeded in turning him away from Tyrra, he would soon return to remove the bug and erase all evidence of foul play.He couldn’t let that happen. He needed definitive proof, proof he could present to his parents without question, the kind that would make Flavier’s treachery undeniable. His conversation with Flavier the previous night had confirmed Tyrra’s suspicions: Flavier and Grace were up to something. If he could show his parents what they were planning, the whole picture would fall into place.As soon as he entered his office, Lemar temporarily deactivated the b
