~~ETHEL~~

The weekend felt like the shortest weekend of my life.

Maya had stayed with me the entire time, pulling me into mindless reality shows and conversations about everything except Keanu. She'd known better than to bring him up after that first morning, and she'd refused to let me disappear into my own head.

But Monday had arrived anyway.

After changing into a cream-coloured peplum blouse and a pair of black flare pants, my hair pulled into a neat bun, I grabbed my bag and stepped out

  • My Bastard Boss Wants Me In His Bed   Chapter 106

    ~~ETHEL~~Sitting in the back seat of my ride, I stared out the window, watching the city lights blur past, my mind replaying the chaos of the day. Stephen's arrest had gone viral by afternoon. Every news outlet, every blog, and every social media platform had been scrambling for the story.The narrative had shifted almost immediately. Suddenly, Keanu wasn't the incompetent CEO whose negligence had killed two people and who had ties to the mafia. He was the victim of a calculated sabotage by someone he trusted from his own family.Keanu had asked me to contact our PR team to draft a statement. Something that condemned the media houses for running with rumors and spinning false allegations about him, but also reassured investors and clients that Martell Corporation was stable.Within hours, the stock had begun climbing again. Now analysts were predicting a full recovery within the week.After days of all that pressure, Keanu must be so relieved now. He was probably in his penthouse or

  • My Bastard Boss Wants Me In His Bed   Chapter 105

    ~~KEANU~~ I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in my penthouse that evening, a glass of scotch in my hand, staring at the night city view but not really seeing anything. I'd won. Stephen was exposed in front of the entire board, arrested, and humiliated. I'd secured my position as CEO unanimously. The media narrative was going to start changing soon. Martell Corporation was safe again. So why the fuck did it all feel so empty? My mind kept drifting back to Ethel during the meeting. The way she'd looked at me after the board's vote. There had been relief and pride in her expression. But I'd never felt so far from her. What I would've given to be able to pull her into my arms afterward, to feel her against me while enjoying the victory. But I was sure she wouldn't have liked that very much. She'd made it a point to keep her distance from me since we returned to the office yesterday. All her responses to me were professional and perfectly polite. But what else did I expect? It w

  • My Bastard Boss Wants Me In His Bed   Chapter 104

    ~~ETHEL~~Stephen stumbled back, his hand flying to his cheek, his eyes wide with shock. I didn't have to be told this was the first time Catherine had ever hit him.Catherine was shaking, her chest heaving as she stared at him. "Say that again," she said, her voice trembling with fury. "Say one more word about my husband, and I swear to God—"She broke off, her hand still raised, her face crumpling. And for the first time since this entire nightmare began, I saw genuine horror and pain on her face. Like reality was finally crashing down around her.Keanu was silent, his expression unreadable, but I saw the way his hands clenched at his sides. He was just as affected, but he was showing more restraint than I'd ever seen him show.Stephen turned back to the room, his voice frantic now. "This doesn't prove anything. You gullible idiots can't possibly believe this bullshit. I'm being framed!"Keanu's nostrils flared, and his voice was ice when he spoke. "You can explain that to the polic

  • My Bastard Boss Wants Me In His Bed   Chapter 103

    ~~ETHEL~~The silence that followed Keanu's accusation stretched for several seconds, blanketing the whole room with tension.Stephen looked shocked, his face going pale as he stared at Keanu like he'd just been slapped. "What are you even saying?" he questioned, his voice defensive. "How could you think I'm behind this?"Keanu's expression didn't change. "Drop the act, Stephen.""It's not an act!" Stephen's hands spread wide, his tone shifting to something almost pleading. "Why would I want to destroy your reputation? I have nothing to gain from this.""Don't you?" Keanu countered in a cold, measured voice. "You stood to be nominated to take my place if I was voted out. And then all these things happen right before the evaluation. Convenient timing, don't you think?"Stephen let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. "That's... that's just conjecture. Extreme conjecture. I know you might have personal issues with me, however unjustified, but you can't just accuse me of something like

    ~~ETHEL~~"Where could he be?"I paced in front of the conference room doors. The board members were already seated inside. I'd been waiting for Keanu to arrive because I didn't want to walk in alone, but he was nowhere to be found and wasn't answering his phone.My stomach twisted as I glanced at my phone again. Keanu was never late to something like this. Could it be that he wasn't coming because he already expected defeat?I was about to try calling again when I heard a familiar voice behind me."Ethel!"I turned to find Sharon hurrying down the hallway, her face lighting up the moment she saw me.She pulled me into a hug before I could say anything, her warm arms tightening around me. "Oh my God, it's so good to see you, Ethel."I managed a smile as I pulled back. "It's good to see you too, Sharon."She'd called me over the weekend after the explosion went viral on the news, and I'd reassured her then too, even though I'd felt anything but fine."What are you doing here?

  • My Bastard Boss Wants Me In His Bed   Chapter 101

    ~~ETHEL~~By the next day, it was a little more bearable because Keanu was barely around. He was in and out of the office all morning, always with Edwards at his side, always looking a little more worn down than the last time I'd seen him.But by mid-afternoon, when he returned from yet another outing, I counted another worry line on his forehead. I had to force myself to stay seated at my desk instead of asking if he was okay.His hair was a tousled mess, probably from running his hands through it all day, something he only did when he was stressed beyond reason."Hey, Ethel," Anna said, appearing at my desk with a folder that she set down in front of me. "These are the signed contracts from last week. Mr. Martell wanted them filed."I glanced up at her. "Thanks, Anna."She lingered, glancing toward Keanu's closed office door. "He seems really tense lately. Is everything okay?"I knew what she was really asking: whether there was any problem between Keanu and me. Nobody knew w

    ~~KEANU~~Ethel's comeback hung over the table several seconds after she'd said it.Sharon was still coughing into her napkin to hide her laugh. My mother sat perfectly still, staring at Ethel like she'd just discovered a new species.It took a lot to render Catherine Martell speechless, but Ethel

    ~~ETHEL~~The day of the party arrived like it couldn't wait.Maya had arrived at my flat two hours before Keanu was due to pick me up, armed with a makeup bag the size of a small suitcase. Her energy suggested she'd been looking forward to this more than I had."Stop moving," she muttered, hoverin

    ~~ETHEL~~ Keanu drove me back to my flat just as he insisted. The car was filled with silence, something I usually welcomed. But now, I hated it. He had his gaze fixed on the road, those strong hands gripping the wheel, his calm expression giving nothing away. I, on the other hand, felt lik
