Ann’s POV

The three of us gasped at the phone. I mean my girlfriends literally saw the picture too as I was in the middle.

“Holy shit!” Claire exclaimed.

For me I was at a loss for words.I wasn't even sure if this was a recent picture or a past one.

“He’s really cheating?” Jane asked and I could feel her body tensed beside me. She had always been a protector and there was a time we were even labelled lesbians while in high school.

“I mean we could say he is with this picture, don't you thin

  • MERCILESS SEDUCTRESS    CHAPTER 61

    061Jake's POVThe moment I stepped through the door, she was already waiting for me.Her expression changed the second she saw me. Whatever anger had existed between us during our phone call seemed to disappear completely.She walked straight toward me.“You actually came.”“I told you I would.”She smiled and wrapped her arms around me.I held her close, breathing in her familiar perfume. For a moment, everything outside that apartment disappeared—the company, my parents, Ann, the divorce papers, all of it.There was only her.“You look exhausted,” she whispered.“I am.”“Then let me take your mind off everything.”I looked into her eyes.There was something about the way she looked at me that made resisting her almost impossible.I leaned closer and kissed her.She immediately returned the kiss, her hands resting against my shoulders as I pulled her closer. The kiss became deeper, more desperate, carrying all the frustration and tension I had been carrying throughout the day.She b

    060Louis POVWhen I was finally done with my meetings, I leaned back in my chair and let out a slow breath.It had been a long day.One meeting had dragged into another, followed by a series of discussions that could have easily been handled through emails. Yet somehow, every department head had decided that today was the perfect day to bring their problems directly to me.Normally, I wouldn’t have minded.Today, however, my mind had been somewhere else.Ann.I glanced at the time on my watch.It was almost closing time.Without giving myself much time to think about it, I stood up, grabbed my jacket, and left my office.I headed straight for the designing department.I wanted to see how she was doing.Ever since she had arrived here at Crescent, I had deliberately tried not to hover around her. I didn’t want her to feel as though I had brought her into my company because I had ulterior motives.She was definitely going to earn her place here.I knew that for sure.And judging by what

  • MERCILESS SEDUCTRESS    CHAPTER 59

    059Ann's POV I was really enjoying the tour and the gossip.For the first time in what felt like forever, I wasn’t thinking about divorce papers.I wasn’t thinking about Jake.I wasn’t thinking about the conversation that had happened between us, or the way his voice had sounded when everything we had built together finally seemed to collapse beneath the weight of our words.I wasn’t even thinking about what would happen after I signed those papers.I was simply Ann.Not Mrs. Laurent.Not Jake Laurent’s wife.Not the woman whose marriage was falling apart.Just Ann.And strangely enough, being at Emerald gave me that feeling.Maybe it was because everything around me was so busy.People were moving from one office to another, assistants were rushing around with files, phones were ringing, designers were arguing over colours and fabrics, and somewhere in the distance, I could hear laughter.There was life everywhere.And I found myself smiling more than I had expected.Louis noticed

  • MERCILESS SEDUCTRESS    CHAPTER 58

    058Louis’s POVAnn was giving me that suspicious look again.I couldn’t quite explain it, but there was something different about the way she was looking at me.Her eyes stayed on mine for a few seconds longer than usual, almost as if she were searching for something behind my words.I shifted slightly in my chair.For a moment, I wondered if she already knew something.Had someone told her?Had Jake said something?Or perhaps she had heard some version of what had happened and was simply waiting for me to admit it myself.I studied her expression carefully.She wasn’t angry.She wasn’t accusing me either.But there was definitely something behind those eyes.“Is there something you want to ask me?” I finally said.Ann blinked.“No.”The answer came a little too quickly.I raised an eyebrow.She gave me a faint smile.“I just…” She paused. “You seem different.”“Different how?”“I don’t know.”She looked away.I leaned back in my chair.“Ann, if there’s something you’re worried about

  • MERCILESS SEDUCTRESS    CHAPTER 57

    057The moment I stepped into the Emerald Dynasty that morning, I knew I was in no mood for anyone.I could feel it even before I reached my office.Something inside me was restless. Irritated. Unsettled.Every little sound seemed louder than it should have been. The clicking of heels against the marble floor, the ringing of phones, the voices of employees discussing their schedules—it all grated on my nerves.I barely acknowledged the greetings thrown my way as I walked toward the executive elevators.“Good morning, sir.”“Good morning, Mr. Laurent.”“Morning, CEO.”I heard them, but I didn’t respond.The elevator doors closed behind me, giving me a few seconds of silence.I stared at my reflection in the polished metal.I looked exhausted.My jaw was clenched, and there were dark circles beneath my eyes. I hadn’t slept properly. My mind had been running in circles all night.Ann.The divorce.My parents.Louis.Everything seemed tangled together.And the worst part was that I had no

  • MERCILESS SEDUCTRESS    CHAPTER 56

    056ANN’S POVI woke up the next morning feeling as though I hadn’t slept at all.My eyes opened slowly, but instead of feeling refreshed, I felt strangely exhausted. My body was heavy, my mind crowded with thoughts that had refused to disappear even after I had finally fallen asleep.For a few seconds, I simply stared at the ceiling.The room was unusually quiet.I turned my head toward Jake’s side of the bed.Empty.I sat up slowly and listened.Nothing.No footsteps downstairs.No sound of the shower running.No movement coming from his study.The house felt different when Jake wasn’t in it.For years, I had been accustomed to waking up and knowing that he was somewhere nearby. Even when we weren’t speaking, even when there was tension between us, his presence had always been part of the rhythm of my life.Now I wasn’t sure whether that comforted me or frightened me.I pulled the blanket away and got out of bed.The events of the previous day came rushing back.The conversation wit
