JANE’S POV.

“Jane! Get your ass off this bed right this minute.”

“You don’t want to be late.” I heard Sarah say faintly.

I was still enjoying my sleep but she was already tapping me to get up.

I grumbled and said, “But the alarm has not rung yet.”

“Girl, have you forgotten that you have to be at work before 8am?”

“Wasn’t that the instructions from Kennedy?”

As soon as I heard Kennedy’s name, I snapped out of my sleep immediately.

I just sprang up on the bed writhing a second.

“What’s the time?”

“A few minutes past 6.”

I let out a deep sigh before responding, “Thank God that I’m not late. Thank you so much for waking me up.”

“It’s no biggie but every day isn’t going to be like this.”

“You better get your alarm right.”

Sarah suggested.

I just left to get ready for work.

In a few minutes, I was done.

I said goodbye.

“We are still going to see each other at work.”

Yeah, she was right though.

AT THE OFFICE.

“I’m back to this hellhole,” I said to myself.

It was about 7:40am and I was now s

  • MY NEW HR IS THE MAN I SLEPT WITH.   Chapter 31- The Accomplice Of The Devil

    Jane's POVThe next morning came and I found it hard to get out of bed.The bright sun was already entering my room through the curtains, it was too bright for the kind of mood I was in.I felt heavy, my eyes had gotten swollen from all the crying last night. I grabbed my blanket and wrapped it very tight around me. I wish I could stop the noise in the world, the gossiping people, and the shame.I could still remember the headlines of the news in my head.The more I thought about it the more I felt sick. How could something that felt real, something that filled me with happiness, become such a mess?My phone vibrated somewhere around where my blanket was. I didn't pay attention to it for the few times. It could be more hateful messages. Or more people pretending to care about me just to get more details from me.Then Sarah's voice came from the living room. “Jane? Are you still sleeping?”I didn't answer her. I couldn't say anything.“Come on babe,” Hannah said. “You have been inside

  • MY NEW HR IS THE MAN I SLEPT WITH.   Chapter 30- The Confrontation

    Kennedy's POVThe night felt unusually cold. I stood in front of Mr Shane's mansion. The bright light was shining out of the windows like a beautiful painting from the outside. It looked amazing.I adjusted my tie, breathed in and out but still I wasn't calm. I pressed the doorbell.A guard opened the door immediately. “Good evening, Mr Kennedy. Mr Shane is waiting for you in the dining room.”I walked down the hallway, the sound from my shoe echoing from the floor. The place had a pleasant smell of polished wood and expensive whiskey. My pulse became harder to control with every step I took towards the dining room.Mr Shane was already seated at the end of the long table, perfect composure, like he had been waiting here all night just for me. He wore a dark suit, everything was in place.“Have a seat,” He said, without looking up from his plate.There was no anger in his tone… but it felt heavy. It felt like he was waiting for the right moment to explode.I sat down on the seat oppos

  • MY NEW HR IS THE MAN I SLEPT WITH.   Chapter 29 – The Weight of Choice

    Kennedy’s POVI didn’t knock.I just barged into Jessica’s office like a storm.“This is all your doing, isn’t it?” I shouted, slamming the door behind me. “You did this Jessica!”The walls of Jessica’s office shook with my voice.Jessica didn’t flinch. She was sitting behind her desk like she’d been waiting for me all morning. Her red lips curved into that half-smirk that always made my blood boil.“Nice to see you too, Kennedy,” she said coolly, crossing one leg over the other. “I was wondering how long it would take before you came storming in.”“Don’t play dumb with me,” I barked, stepping closer. “You leaked those pictures. You wanted this to happen.”Her smirk faded. “Oh, please. Don’t flatter yourself.”I slammed my palm on her desk, hard enough that a few pens rolled off. “You’re the only one who had something to gain from this.”Jessica’s eyes darkened. “Gain? You think this benefits me? You think I enjoy doing this? You think I'll want to hurt you?”“You’re capable of a lot

    Jane’s POVWeeks went by.Slow at first. Then faster.The chaos, the pictures, the threats… all of it began to fade like a bad dream.Kennedy and I kept our distance just like he said. No more sneaking around in the office, no more car park meetings. No more sex. Just short calls, quiet texts at night. His messages were careful. Mine were too.And for the first time in a long time, it felt… calm.I wasn't getting weird notes.I wasn't receiving texts from unknown numbers.No more threats.I started to breathe again. I started to think maybe things were dying down.Even at work, people stopped staring. Stopped asking questions. It was almost normal.Or so I thought..Then, out of nowhere, everything shifted.I felt it first before I even knew why. the way people glanced at me, then looked away quickly. Two girls in the copy room whispered, their eyes sliding to me as I walked past.I tried to brush it off, but it grew. Everywhere I went that morning, I felt it. Murmurs. Quick looks. P

  • MY NEW HR IS THE MAN I SLEPT WITH.   Chapter 27 – The Warning

    Jane’s POVI didn’t sleep much that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I felt him. His touch, his breath, the way he whispered my name. And then that picture… the message.It played over and over in my mind like a curse.By the time the sun came up, my pillow was still warm from where I’d been turning all night.Sarah had left early, and the apartment felt heavier than usual. My heart was still somewhere between wanting Kennedy and fearing what could become of us.When I finally got to the office, it was too quiet. The usual chatter didn’t reach my ears. Everyone seemed busy, heads down. I forced a breath, straightened my blouse, and tried to act normal.Whatever normal was anymore.Kennedy’s office door was half open. I slowed down without meaning to. He was there, leaning over his desk, tie slightly loose, sleeves rolled. The sight of him made my chest tighten.He looked up just then. Our eyes met.For a second, I thought maybe he’d smile, or nod… something. But he didn’t.His exp

    Jane’s POVHis hand hadn’t left my thigh since the moment he started driving. “Where are we going?” I whispered finally, breaking the silence that had been sitting too heavily between us.Kennedy’s jaw ticked once, his eyes still on the road. “Somewhere safe.”That word made my stomach knot. Safe? From what? From who?“Safe?” I repeated, turning my head to look at him. “Safe from who?”He glanced at me briefly, then looked forward again. “Don’t worry about that now.”“Don’t worry?” I let out a half-laugh. “Kennedy, someone was watching us. How do you expect me to be calm…”“Jane.” His voice cut sharp, a whip against the thick air between us. “I said I’ll handle it.”I stared at him, my words drying up. The rest of the drive was thick with silence, broken only by the hum of the engine.When we finally slowed, I looked up to see a tall, glass-walled building rising above the city.Kennedy pulled into the underground garage, the guard at the gate instantly nodding and waving him throug
