Chapter 61: Wait…

last update Huling Na-update: 2025-09-16 02:47:09

As soon as we finished breakfast, we changed clothes to meet Chloe. Amy lent me one of her dresses, which was beautiful but didn’t match my state of mind at all. Something flowery and soft, light and cheerful. I felt like a fraud looking at myself in the mirror, but I had to admit the soft shades of green matched my hair and brought out my eyes.

I let out a long, heavy sigh when I finished looking at myself in the mirror. "If it were another time, I’d be excited and maybe even thinking about meeting Daniel to show him this dress."

Thinking about my now ex-boyfriend made my heart sink even more. I hadn’t heard from him since that day, which left me deeply uneasy. Daniel had proven to be dangerous, and at that moment, being far from Cassian’s protection, he could approach me, just like Diane and Liam.

I rubbed my hands over my face hard, trying to clear those thoughts from my head. There was no point dwelling on them and what they could or couldn’t do. The first thing I needed to figure

  • My heart surrendered to the Boss   Chapter 69: Dollhouse

    I kept in contact with Cass naturally, but on the side, I began to dig deeper into the life of Cassian Moore.The little information that existed came from just before he took on the position of Boss, which had belonged to his father before him. Cassian’s academic life, adolescence, and childhood were a blank book, kept in complete secrecy, as if he had grown up in total isolation."There aren’t even driver’s license records. Does he not have one? Or did he use a fake name?"It was frustrating to waste so much time searching for information only to hit an impenetrable wall. Knowing my amateur digging was useless, I decided to try something different.The university library still kept old physical records, like newspapers and articles. Cassian looked to be around forty, so there had to be some physical information somewhere.The large hall was completely empty, with only a few students using the facilities for anything beyond taking a nap between classes. I took advantage and began my

  • My heart surrendered to the Boss   Chapter 68: The Strings That Bind Us

    I moved through the bar on autopilot, making drinks and answering questions, while fighting the urge to follow Cassian’s voice with my eyes.He stayed in the hall for the rest of the night, as if he hadn’t killed a man in front of all those people. I could feel his gaze on me, as well as Chloe’s and that of a few employees, curious about my strange reaction to everything that had happened."Are you sure you’re okay?" Chloe whispered, her hand gently resting on my shoulder.As much as I smiled, it was nothing but a mask. My mind spun with thoughts and memories, while my hands faltered at times, trembling and sweaty. I clasped them together while the atmosphere in the club returned to normal."Are you going straight to Amy’s apartment?" Chloe asked as we changed."Yes, I need to sleep a little before class.""I’ll give you a ride," Chloe said brightly, but before I could answer, a knock at the door interrupted us.Harry appeared, in casual clothes, watching us from the doorway. Chloe sh

  • My heart surrendered to the Boss   Chapter 67: Keeping Distance

    I couldn’t understand the reason for that note. Contrary to what Chloe had said, Cassian spent the entire night in the main hall, going from table to table among the longtime patrons, talking and holding a glass he never drank from.I tried to ignore his presence, but it was impossible. It felt as though he were right beside me, his warm breath on my neck, his hands over mine with every move I made. I felt pressured and uncomfortable."Hey, Lilian." A waiter called me with a large order in hand, but before I could take the slip, he pulled it back. "That’s not it. There’s a gentleman asking for you to serve him." I raised an eyebrow, suspicious.It wasn’t normal for one of the club’s patrons to request a specific waiter, especially a woman. Most of them saw us as incapable of preparing and serving anything of quality, so they preferred the men, but I always made a point of breaking their expectations whenever I had the chance.I wiped my hands on the bar towel and looked around, trying

  • My heart surrendered to the Boss   Chapter 66: Hiding in the Dark

    I didn’t have the courage to tell the girls everything that had happened. I only told them that I had gone looking for help to get a job, but things hadn’t gone as I imagined, and I ended up being rescued by a stranger. They were already too involved; telling them what Daniel had tried to do and that the Boss of London had rescued me would have been too much for anyone."So, since this new job didn’t work out, what are you going to do now, Lyn?" Amy asked as she braided her hair for bed. I hugged my knees, thinking of my only option at that moment."Technically, I never quit the club. Since I had unused vacation days, I can use them to cover my absences and return to work."Amy froze mid-movement and looked at me carefully, her eyes full of concern. I gave her a soft smile and shrugged. In the situation I was in, I had no other choice. It was frustrating, but if I wanted to make any progress, I needed enough money to do so."Are you sure? I could talk to my boss. I could even teach yo

  • My heart surrendered to the Boss   Chapter 65: No Defenses

    I woke with a violent jolt. When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was still in Cassian’s arms, but inside a car. The vehicle sped quickly through the streets, while Cassian held me firmly with one arm and sent messages on his phone with the other.I shifted, feeling my body slightly numb. Cassian turned his eyes toward me, filled with something resembling concern, but mixed with anger. I went still again, feeling the weight of his disapproval.Cassian let out a long, deep sigh, set the phone aside, and ran a hand through his hair. I noticed he was completely clean, even his shirt, which made me wonder how long I had been asleep."What were you thinking, going to that psychopath?" Cassian demanded in a firm tone.I turned my face away, embarrassed and irritated that Cassian had needed to get involved. Nothing had unfolded as I had planned, and it frustrated me. I couldn’t manage anything on my own. I kept depending on Cassian, Amy, and Chloe to the point of putting myself in danger becau

  • My heart surrendered to the Boss   Chapter 64: Rescue in the Tower

    I stretched out my hand, and Daniel stopped, confused by my action. I had to buy time to think of a way to escape that place. I still believed Daniel was incapable of hurting me, so I thought of taking advantage of that and running away.I took a deep breath and hunched over, clutching my ankle. "Daniel, I think I twisted my ankle. I need to go to the hospital." The worried and warm look I was expecting never appeared. In its place, a cold, cutting gaze scanned my body. His face was expressionless, and his eyes seemed to lose their blue shade, turning darker."Perfect," he said, moving closer with slow steps. "That way, you’ll stay here until you understand that we’re meant to be together.""What did you say?" I was utterly incredulous at Daniel’s extreme attitude. "Are you insane? Do you intend to
