SARAH

The restaurant was quiet, glowing with soft lights and the low hum of jazz. Everything smelled of expensive food and wine. I sat across from Marco, still in the same clothes I’d worn to the office, and couldn’t help feeling like I didn’t belong there. The people around us looked so polished, like they’d walked out of a magazine.

Marco didn’t seem to care. He looked comfortable, leaning back in his chair with that relaxed air he carried everywhere. His tie was loose, his eyes steady on me. When the waiter poured the wine, Marco reached for his glass and smiled.

“To your first day as my secretary,” he said.

I let out a small laugh. “You’re really making this a thing, aren’t you?”

“It is a thing,” he said. “You walked into my office this morning like you owned it.”

“I was nervous,” I said honestly. “I just tried to look like I wasn’t.”

He tilted his head, smirking. “You did well. The staff were watching you. Sofia especially.”

I looked down at my glass. “I noticed.”

    SARAHI sat behind the desk, staring at the screen like it was waiting to judge me. The room was quiet except for the sound of the air conditioner and the sound of conversation outside. My name was still definitely new here. People had whispered it like it carried some secret weight. The boss’s wife. The new secretary. The one who made Sofia tense.I opened the drawers one by one, trying to understand my space. Pens, sticky notes, files marked with initials I didn’t recognize. A small paperweight with the company logo. It felt strange, sitting in this office. Marco’s office was only a few doors away, but this was my corner now. I clicked through the computer, reading the day’s schedule. Meetings, calls, project updates, everything that kept this place alive.Through the glass wall, I could feel their stares. A few heads turned quickly when I looked up. Some smiled nervously, pretending they weren’t watching. Others just whispered, eyes darting between me and the door. I didn’t blame t

    SARAHThe room went quiet.Sofia just stood there, eyes wide, her painted lips parting as if she didn’t believe what she had just heard. I could almost hear her heartbeat from where I stood. Marco’s words still hung in the air like smoke. “She’ll be my new secretary.”Her gaze flicked between us, then she let out a breathy laugh. “I’m sorry… what?”Marco didn’t answer right away. He was calm, the way he always was when someone challenged him. Hands in his pockets, steady eyes, quiet authority.Sofia blinked again, this time harder. “You can’t be serious,” she said, voice rising slightly. “You’re replacing me with her?”I felt the words hit me, but before I could react, Marco spoke. “You’re not being replaced,” he said evenly. “You’ll be assisting her transition.”“Transition?” Sofia repeated, her tone sharp, almost a scoff. “She has no clue how this place runs, Marco. You think she can handle calls, meetings, clients? She doesn’t even know the people who work here. This isn’t somethin

    SARAHI sat in front of the mirror, brushing my hair slowly, the morning light slipped through the curtains, warm and calm, but my hands were shaking a little. I stared at my reflection, not because I wanted to admire myself, but because I was trying to picture what kind of woman I needed to look like for the day ahead. Someone capable.It had been so long since I’d done anything outside this house. Ever since Marco and I got married, I’d gotten used to waiting for him, planning dinners, and pretending that silence was comfort. But lately, it felt suffocating. The walls listened too much, the halls whispered my name when I passed. Today was different. Today I was going to work with him. Not as decoration, but as part of his world.I picked out a cream blouse and a black skirt. Nothing too bold. Just neat. Respectable. I wanted to look like I understood where I was going. As I buttoned my blouse, I caught my reflection again and smiled faintly. “You can do this,” I whispered to myself.

    SOFIAThe moment I stepped through the door, the anger inside me finally broke free. It had been building from the moment I saw them together, but now it came pouring out. I didn’t even take off my shoes. I threw my bag across the room, hearing it hit the wall and slide to the floor. The sound didn’t calm me. It just made everything louder in my head. My heels hit the marble floor with sharp clicks as I paced back and forth, trying to breathe but failing. I could still see Marco’s hands on her waist, Sarah’s soft little smile, the way he looked at her like nothing else mattered. That look had once been mine.I stopped in front of the mirror and stared at myself. My hair was still perfect. My makeup hadn’t moved. I looked like I had it all together, but my eyes told the truth. They looked wild, sharp, and cold. I hated that. I hated what he had turned me into. “She’s mocking me,” I whispered, my voice rough. “Right in front of me. She thinks she’s won.”The anger rose fast. I grabbed

    SARAHMarco’s lips were still on mine when the sound of the door clicking open broke the moment. His hand was on my waist, his breath heavy against my cheek. I was smiling, about to tease him for not locking the door, when a voice froze the air in the room.“Sorry, I’m late. The traffic—”The words stopped.Marco turned first, his body going still. I turned after him, slow, my heart still pounding from the kiss.Sofia stood by the door. Her hand was frozen on the handle, a folder clutched tightly in her other hand. Her eyes widened, shock flooding her face. She looked from Marco’s hand on my waist to my lips, still a little swollen, and then back at Marco.No one said a word.I blinked once, then twice, pretending to act as if nothing was wrong. Marco was too quiet, his body tense but his arm still holding me close. He opened his mouth, maybe to speak, but I cut in before he could.“Well,” I said softly, tilting my head as I rested my palm against his chest, “you’re here early, Sofia.
