Even now, the sound of those words lingered in the empty room. Silence stretched around me, yet their presence refused to fade. Long past when they were said, they held on - soft but clear. The air stayed thick with what I’d let loose into it. A whisper that wouldn’t settle. Still humming beneath the stillness.
“One year. No more. No less.”
Staring into the mirror, I lingered longer than usual - like maybe she’d believe me if I said

Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 100: Confessing the Rebirth
Sam's POVHeavy, his arms held on while everything else cracked apart.Hours had passed since the attack, yet we stayed on the sofa in the suite. Outside, the estate sat frozen under strict lockdown - search crews moved across every corner, bright beams split the night air, distant barks echoed between trees. Inside, only silence remained between us. Light from the lamp curled gently around the walls, warm and low. His heart beat beneath my ear, a quiet pulse that matched the calm of his hands gliding over my skin.Nothing before had matched this quiet certainty. Safe like air filling a room without noise.That moment froze me like nothing before.Out here, the silence broke first - weeks of held breath spilling loose when my legs gave out near the old fence line. Each clue piled up, slow but sure, dragging down my chest like wet stone. Then came tonight’s fall, another close call among the trees, and suddenly it wasn’t something I could swallow anymore.Back I stepped, only a little,
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 99: The Bond Grows Stronger
Sam's POVInside the suite, peace held on tight. A quiet corner where everything else faded out. Here, breath came easier. Walls stood firm against the noise outside. This room refused to let chaos in.Once the shouting faded - guards rushing past flowerbeds, beams of light stabbing at shadows, the attacker vanishing into trees - Ethan led me without pause to this spot. All along he held my hand tight. His arm never left my shoulders during the walk, his frame angled slightly, blocking me from view of the house grounds.Locked, the door sat still. Drawn shut, the curtains blocked the outside. From one lamp on the side table, light spilled - soft gold spilling across the chairs and carpet.On the broad couch we stayed, Ethan's arm draped over my back. Against his shoulder my head lay quiet, drawn near by his good arm. Under my ear a rhythm pulsed - firm, grounding, real. Safety settled in deep, something I hadn’t known since long before now.More than a shield for the body.Deep down,
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 98: The Hero
Ethan's POVA shriek ripped the darkness open, sharp as steel.“Help! Attack!”Sam’s voice.Running came first, thinking later. Down the path I flew, each step cracking against stone, breath jagged inside my chest. Voices barked from somewhere behind, sharp and loud. The terror rose - raw, thick, burning - a thing alive in my neck.Not her.Not Sam.Out of nowhere, I rounded the bend right when someone in a mask darted from the roses, one leg dragging yet still sprinting. A short distance off, Sam stayed frozen, chest heaving, arms up like a shield.A split second. He looked away, just once. That tiny moment gave me my chance.Fury took hold, hurling me forward into his space. My body moved before thought could catch up.Down we fell, arms and legs twisted together. Pain shot through my shoulder, still hurt from before, yet it didn’t matter. Fists flew toward his covered face - once, then again - the sound of breaking bone cutting the air. His arm jerked up holding a needle, swinging
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 97: The Assassination Attempt
Sam's POVBeautiful, yet trapping - that’s how the land spread around the house. Stillness held it, not peace.Tonight held the quiet of something waiting. They moved through it, unsure if prey or predator.Air felt necessary. Through a side exit I went, right when daylight started fading. Hours bent over files - poison results, Gwen’s messages, Victor’s money paths - had made the room tight. Thoughts raced, sharp and heavy. Motion called harder than thinking. Staff heard me say it was just a brief step outside, nothing more.Winding its way between rose blooms and neat hedges, the trail led onward - cliff edge ahead, sea thundering underneath. Silver spilled over the lawns; that half-lit moon hung low. My steps stayed even, breath quiet. Sharpness hummed under skin. Safety? Maybe. Still, something watched.Footsteps.Quiet. Measured. Moving with me, yet always a step beyond view.My pulse spiked.Still moving forward, I slid a hand into my jacket pocket, finding the tiny panic button
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 96: I see Danger
Ethan's POVSomething was wrong with Sam.Something hung in the space near her, thick enough to taste. Not since the crash had she carried herself this way - gliding past halls as if walls might speak. Where doors once cracked wide out of habit, now metal clicks sealed them tight. Late hours found her circling the study floor, each footfall carving thin lines into the dark quiet. Noise jolted her upright - an abrupt slam, dishes trembling on silver, sometimes just the far-off shrill of a telephone ringing unanswered.She was afraid.What really got to me was her silence on the reason. The not knowing ate away at my thoughts each day. Still, I waited. Each moment stretched longer than the last. Silence sat between us like a wall built brick by brick. What stayed unspoken weighed more than words ever could.That evening at the table, her posture stayed straight, hands steady near her glass. Each time Victor said something, her gaze slipped his way without meaning to. When Gwen came up -
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 95: Gathering the Evidence
Sam's POVThe study had become my war room.Three days passed without me stepping outside. Food arrived at the doorstep each time. Rest happened in pieces, scattered through nights on a narrow couch. Light stayed dim - just screens humming pale or a lone lamp stretching dark shapes along the wall.I was building the dossier.Out of everything gathered so far, each clue found its place inside one tight bundle - silent, complete. That folder sat heavy with truth, built line by line. Not a scrap left out. All of it lined up without needing words.Financial trails showing large, irregular transfers from Victor Sterling’s discretionary family trusts to the disgraced pharmacist.Messages from Gwen to the pharmacy, scrambled for privacy, spelled out exactly how much to take, when to take it, along with directions on how it should be given. Hidden words, clear steps - each note carried details others weren’t meant to see.Years la
