Mia stepped into her office. Her tears had dried, but a faint redness lingered in her eyes. She looked utterly gloomy as Axel’s words rang repeatedly in her mind:

*A member of my parents killers.*

She had memorized those words, and now, everything was beginning to make sense.

Could that be the reason Axel had been locked up all those months? Could her parents have been the ones to kill his…?

Axel had told her to leave immediately afterward, so she never got the answers to those questions. But she promised herself she would be back.

She walked over to her cubicle, unaware that people around her were staring as though she had slept with their boss or something.

Too oblivious to notice, she shrugged off her purse and pulled out her chair before sitting down.

She opened her laptop and let out a quiet sigh, aware of how much work awaited her after missing yesterday. At least it would be a welcome distraction from all… this.

It took her nearly two minutes to type in her la

  • Revenged Love    Chapter 41

    By the time Mia reached Caleb’s office, she found him standing by the massive window that nearly swallowed the entire wall, staring blankly at the city. Outwardly, he was calm. Inwardly, not so much. The faint frown on his face did a terrible job of hiding it. He was so deep in thought that he didn’t notice her come in at all. It took the soft click of the door for him to finally acknowledge her existence, sending her a sideways glance before turning and striding back to his desk. Mia only watched. She didn’t know whether to sit down or start explaining herself. In fact, she hadn’t moved an inch since she arrived. Then Caleb’s voice came. "Miss Mia, please have a seat." He didn’t sound angry or annoyed. If anything, he sounded like the kind of person who was about to deliver bad news very carefully, slowly, softly, and with just enough kindness to make it hurt more. Mia slowly obeyed and sat opposite him. Even with the air conditioner running, she felt uncomfortably hot.

    Andrew nudged him sharply with his elbow, earning a cold glare from Axel. When Axel showed no hint of regret, though Andrew had not expected any, Andrew turned to face the curious stares around the room. "I’m his assistant in every way," he said aloud. It did absolutely nothing to help. The room remained steeped in confusion. What made it worse was that Axel was technically right. He was less a client and more an unexpected guest who looked like he’d rather be anywhere else, so whatever work he did didn’t really matter to their understanding. But that subtle distinction went over most heads, leaving several people blinking in confusion. Mia wasn’t surprised by his response though. If anything, she’d expected it... perhaps even worse. She knew him too well for disappointment. Still, a quiet part of her had hoped he might say more, reveal something. Her gaze caught Axel’s as he turned back to the front, and her heart stuttered. Even from across the room, those hazel

    It didn’t take long before more clients began to arrive. Caleb greeted each of them with a handshake before returning to his position at the head of the table, where the projector was mounted on the wall behind him. Mia moved to the second-to-last seat, as the front spots were reserved for senior staff, including Damien, who chose to sit beside her. Their gazes would occasionally meet, and they’d share a small, fleeting smile. It was the same with most of the other clients... well, except for the smiles. Some whispered comments to each other, and Mia caught a few, but all she did was inwardly roll her eyes. Were they really that desperate to know why she was here? That curious? Curious why she didn’t want to dive into her dad’s business? She almost snorted. Almost. But then Damien’s hand found hers under the table, giving a gentle squeeze. She looked at him, her mouth slightly open in surprise, then smiled at his quiet support. Somehow, the prying gazes around her didn’t b

    Mia arrived at work and, instead of finding her boss, Mr. Caleb Harrington, in his office, she found him alone in the conference room, earnestly rehearsing how he planned to impress his clients.The moment she walked in, he froze, clearly caught talking to himself, before quickly recovering and putting on a polite smile."Miss Mia," he said, and only then seemed to realise how different she looked.Mia closed the door quietly, let go of the doorknob she had been gripping for no good reason, and took a step forward."Good morning, sir.""Morning. You look… quiet. Different.""Oh." Mia tucked a strand of hair behind her ear."Yes. And even though I really shouldn’t be telling you what to do," he cleared his throat, "I think you should let your hair down more often. It… suits you."Mia tried, and failed to hide her smile."Thanks," she said. "I’ll… consider that change."Caleb smiled, then quickly rearranged his expression into something more appropriate for the office."I honestly didn’

    That night, Mia made sure to go to sleep early and set her alarms. The conference was at nine, so she planned to be up by seven.To avoid being betrayed by sleep, she set alarms for 7:00, 7:01, 7:02, and every minute after that until 7:30.It worked, though she still woke up at 7:15 out of pure panic.She dragged herself out of bed, her hair wild and her eyes puffy, looking like someone who had not slept enough. She needed more sleep, badly.She took her time getting dressed and applied a light layer of makeup, using concealer to hide the dark circles and puffiness that made her almost resemble a panda... minus the cuteness.Letting her hair fall around her like a curtain, she stared at her reflection, as if expecting the mirror to offer encouragement. It did not. So her eyes just roamed over her body instead.The white button-up shirt and a bright pink skirt gave her a neat, composed look.And then she noticed her weight.She was slender, not fragile, not stick thin, just naturally

    Later that night, after finishing her work, Mia decided to hang out with Angela, who arrived just as she was about to head to the bathroom."Came earlier than expected," Mia told her as she stood up."Don’t make me change my mind."Mia chuckled and headed to the bathroom. The moment Mia left, Angela’s eyes landed on the USB drive still plugged into her laptop. Mia was still transferring the file, which explained why the drive hadn’t been removed.She could not tear her eyes away, unsure whether to erase everything or swap it with the spare she had brought.It looked almost identical to Mia’s, black, plain, and unassuming. Angela had picked the right color.She couldn’t forget how important the document was for tomorrow. Mia had mentioned a possible raise, maybe even a promotion. And Angela was determined to ruin it. She was going to replace Mia’s work with something else… something stupid enough to make anyone question her sanity. That was why she had left that morning, scheming li
