I’ve been avoiding my mother’s phone calls. But as I spend time with Derek and the girls a few days after seeing Melinda, I realize it won’t stick.

“Seems like someone has been attempting to reach you?” Derek questions as my phone lights up with the sixth call in the past twenty minutes.

  • My Boss Next Door   Chapter 188

    I open the front door and smile widely. “Let me take that!” I insist. Lily and Pedro come into the house carrying drinks and snacks. “No need to upset the baby!” “I’m barely pregnant, Esme,” my best friend taunts. “Two months is nothing.” “As someone who’s had two babies, I can promise you that yo

  • My Boss Next Door   Chapter 187

    “Save the kissing for your personal time!” I hear Annie prodding at me. We look over at her and Guillermo. Annie, to her credit, wasn’t lying about trying to get pregnant. Four months ago, she called us to say she was six weeks pregnant. Now, her bridesmaid dress shows off her baby bump. "How are

  • My Boss Next Door   Chapter 186

    It’s a little more than a year later that Derek and I walk down the aisle. With Bea as our flower girl, Tris as our ring-bearer, and all the people we love watching, Derek and I say our vows. “What can I say that I haven’t before? You’re stronger than any woman who’s gone through the trauma you hav

  • My Boss Next Door   Chapter 185

    “Thank you.” I take my time to get out of the car, but Derek is fast. He unbuckles Orchid in one swift movement. He hands over the baby and grabs my bag from where he left it next to her. Then, after locking his car, he holds out one hand to me. I’m touched by his sweet gestures today. He must kn

  • My Boss Next Door   Chapter 184

    Esme Derek picks us up from the hospital a couple of days after giving birth. Walking again has been very challenging, but nothing beats holding my daughter in my arms after all this waiting. Bea and Tris both got to hold Orchid. Annie and Lily came to visit their little “niece.” My mom cried her

  • My Boss Next Door   Chapter 183

    I’m overthinking this. I don’t even have a ring yet. Hell, I don’t know what kind of ring Esme would even want. Guess Annie and Lily are going to be helping me more than I thought. Hmm. She’s going to be here for at least a day or two. Maybe I’ll wait until she gets home. I pull out my phone to t

  • My Boss Next Door   Chapter 151

    Derek’s eyes change suddenly. He drops his grip from both my wrist and chin and takes a large step back. “Sorry, that was…sorry.” But now that I’ve given myself a piece of pleasure, I’m not about to let him get off that easily. Pun not intended. “You’re such a coward.” My neighbor’s brows furrow

  • My Boss Next Door   Chapter 144

    He clicks the drive into the TV before playing the footage from a few months ago. In the video, it’s easy to see me going over to Derek’s apartment before Ryan comes rushing into the frame. In the background, I can hear the girls and I screaming in fear before Derek appears. The screen changes to R

  • My Boss Next Door   Chapter 143

    “How do you feel?” Derek asks me as I sit beside him and the lawyers. Today’s the day—my day in divorce court. “Like I might vomit,” I admit sheepishly. He smiles at my honest response. “Well, try to avoid that.” He nods to the men and women in suits. “The team is prepped and ready to go.” I nod.

  • My Boss Next Door   Chapter 139

    There’s a feeling that I used to struggle with in my childhood. I’m still unsure what that is. Maybe it’s just a form of dissociation. I’m barely able to stay in the moment, to hear those around me. The adults would always work in groups to find whatever world I hid in. The hard part was bringing m
