My Boss Will Stop At Nothing To Have Me Chapter 76
Nathaniel's POV.I buried myself in work.It was the only way to quiet the noise in my head. The only way to forget the way Lillian had looked at me that night on my doorstep, vulnerable, torn, eyes wide with something dangerously close to regret, and then just… walked away.She had whispered, “This is a bad idea,” and left me standing there shirtless in the doorway, holding my breath and my pride.So, I buried it.Buried her.Because now wasn’t the time to think about love or what ifs. I had bigger things on the line. I have finally gotten a shot at pitching my company idea to a round of private investors who had been circling the market like sharks. The kind of people who didn’t blink unless your numbers screamed innovation and profitability.It was my moment. My breakaway.I stayed up nights perfecting the deck. Polishing every slide, tightening every graph, checking projections and ROI breakdowns until my eyes burned.Luca, bless his ridiculous soul, even stayed sober for two days

Lillian's POV.I slipped back into the house like a thief at dawn.The floor creaked under my weight, but I didn’t pause. Just eased the front door shut, tiptoed past the couch where Diana snored softly, and headed to my room. She always left her room in the middle of the night and wind up on the couch.I barely had the energy to breathe, let alone explain where I had been or why my eyes were rimmed red.I leaned against the door, let out a long breath, and finally let my shoes fall to the carpet. “This is a bad idea,” I whispered again, echoing the words I said outside Nathaniel’s door, only this time, they felt heavier.I curled beneath the blanket, determined to shut my mind off, to pretend I hadn’t stood in front of the man I once loved… the man I still wasn’t sure I could stop loving.Sleep came like a fog. Thick. Uncertain. Fleeting.And then… ping.I groaned, half-asleep, fumbling for my phone. The screen glared bright into my face.Unknown Number:“Hey stranger. Miss me?”I bl

Daniel's POVI hadn’t thought of Jasmine in months. Honestly, I had convinced myself she was a closed chapter, a bad decision buried under the weight of my failures.So when I opened my door and saw her standing there, hair stringy and face hollowed out like a ghost from a past I didn’t want to remember, the breath lodged in my throat.“Jasmine?”Her lips twisted into a smile, but it wasn’t the one I remembered. This one was brittle. Sharp. Desperate.“Surprise,” she said, voice raspy and low. “Miss me?”I didn’t. But I didn’t say that.Instead, I stepped halfway out the door, ready to block her from coming in. “What the hell are you doing here?”She brushed past me anyway, ignoring the silent protest in my posture, her heels clacking against the tiled floor like she owned the place.“You look good, Daniel,” she said, glancing around with a faint sneer. “Still living the privileged life, huh?”“What do you want?”She turned slowly, and when her eyes locked with mine, the mask dropped.

Lillian's POV.“I miss you.”His words rang in my head throughout the charity event. I wanted to run back into his arms, bask in his manly scent and rub my head against his chest. I don't care if that sounded cat-like. All I cared about was the way he made me feel.I was there, but not really there. I shook hands. I smiled. I posed for pictures and nodded when spoken to. But inside, I was floating in a daze I couldn’t shake off.Nathaniel’s voice, his eyes, had imprinted themselves into me all over again. The sincerity in his tone, the way his lips had trembled just slightly when he said it... It undid all the walls I had built brick by brick.And the worst part? I believed him.Diana, ever the social butterfly, tried her best to pull me back into the present. She dragged me from one table to the next, cracked jokes, handed me champagne and whispered snide comments about the badly dressed elites.But even her sharp wit couldn’t draw me out tonight.“Lilly,” she said, nudging me during

Lillian's POV.After everything, I spent the next day doing absolutely nothing, and for once, I didn’t feel guilty about it.I stayed in pajamas. I drank tea I barely tasted. I listened to Diana’s playlist in the background and just… let the world spin without me.By evening, the lump in my chest had started to loosen, like my body had finally processed what had happened with Adrian, and what didn’t happen with Nathaniel.And that’s when I did something I’d debated all day.I picked up my phone, opened my messages, and typed. “Thank you. For last night. I don’t know what would have happened if you hadn’t stepped in. I mean it.”I stared at the text for too long.Then I sent it.The message went through instantly. The gray “Delivered” bubble popped up.But there was no reply.No “typing” dots. No second bubble. Just silence.I told myself it was fine.He didn’t owe me a response. That night was complicated, and maybe he didn’t want to reopen that door. Maybe I shouldn’t want to either.
My Boss Will Stop At Nothing To Have Me Chapter 71
Lillian's POVI stood there, staring at the crowd as Nathaniel walked away. My heart was still thundering from everything that had just happened. Maxwell Arlo’s disgusting persistence, the way Adrian had abandoned me, and then… Nathaniel.I had not expected him. I had not expected him to care. But he had, he had seen me, really seen me, and stepped in without hesitation. Like the man I used to know. Like the man I used to… love.“Thank you,” I had said, and it didn’t feel like enough. I wanted to say more. I wanted to scream out everything I had been carrying for weeks. That I was sorry. That Adrian had lied. That I had never stopped thinking about Nathaniel and what we used to have. That I was drowning.But the words tangled in my throat. Pride, fear, confusion, they all choked me at once.Still, as he started walking away, I couldn’t let the moment end like that.“Nathaniel!” I called after him, heart hammering in my chest.He turned around instantly, brows slightly raised. His expr
