last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-07-26 20:10:01

Myles's POV

This was Murphy; this was the ghost's doing. He wanted to disrupt my peace in every aspect. He wanted to really make me feel it and I couldn't deny that he was slowly getting what he wanted.

He knew I would very much like to take this case. He knew very well that I'd be obliged to take the case as much as I didn't want to; if not, he'd get away with it, and what's more? The media would paint me differently.

I had to think about this. I had to think this thoroughly before taking any actions, but for now, I pushed the thought of it to the back of my mind.

My eyes met the calendar on the wall, and for a while, I stopped and stared at it in silence. The wedding, my supposed wedding, would be coming up soon in a matter of days and I wasn't doing anything to prepare for it.

Now I wasn't thrilled about the whole thing, and neither was I looking forward to it, but I knew that to really get people into it, believing that it was really real, I had to play the part really well.

  • Saint by Day,Sinner by Night   CHAPTER 49

    Myles's POVI woke up very early, earlier than usual and left the house before Serena could wake up. I could say the reason why I fled the house so early was just to get out before she woke up, but the reason was different. I had a court hearing to attend.I finally stepped through the doors of the courthouse with a briefcase in hand like a weapon waiting to be drawn. My Italian shoes echoed across the polished floor as I walked past security and entered the courtroom where it would all play out.The press had shown up in droves. Cameras were stationed outside. Reporters were whispering my name with the same breath they used for blood and scandal gists. They weren’t here for the legal nuances of property law. They were here for the spectacle. For the righteous crusader attorney vs. the gleaming monster in a thousand-dollar suit.I spotted Murphy Murdock seated in the gallery just behind his legal bulldog…Sterling King.King was everything his name suggested. He was suave, slippery, s

  • Saint by Day,Sinner by Night   CHAPTER 48

    Myles's POVI was deep in a case file and mentally occupied, going over Serena's theatrics, when the knock came at my door.“Come in,” I said without even looking up or stopping for a moment in my writing. The scratch of my pen stopped only when Anna stepped inside.She looked hesitant for a while.“Sir… Jonathan Monroe is here to see you. He says it’s urgent.”I paused.The name earned a sharp look of disgust from me. Jonathan Monroe, a congressman, public darling and a private bastard. What the hell was he looking for at my office?I leaned back in my chair with my fingers steepling beneath my chin as I let the silence stretch for a while before talking.“Show him in,” I said finally in a clipped voice.Anna gave a brief nod and vanished. I took my time closing the file in front of me while letting my posture settle into something colder and stiffer. I wanted Monroe to feel the coldness the second he stepped into the room. He deserved it.The door opened again, and in he came.Jonat

    Myles's POVEmployees shuffled from foot to foot, with some bowing their heads like children caught in mischief. I silently glared at them, waiting for the mastermind to give themselves up.“I brought up the idea.” Naomi suddenly stepped forward nervously.“We... we did.” Damian joined her, looking just as nervous. “It was actually our idea.”I fixed my gaze intensively on them while they cowered nervously in fear.“With all the chaos going on, with the company's reputation at risk and only moments away from being tarnished, you had the time to plan this? What is it? A celebration for a wedding that almost turned to a blood bath?!” I growled.“We... we're sorry..” Damian stuttered. “We thought it would be a good way to ease off all the stress of the past few days.”“By celebrating when we should be putting on our war faces?!” I snapped.“We're sorry, Mr Voss,” Naomi said in a small voice. “It… It's never going to happen again.”“You're damn right, it's never going to happen again,” I

  • Saint by Day,Sinner by Night   CHAPTER 46

    Myles's POV“You want something?” I asked with my brows shooting up questionably. She fumbled and shuffled around the spot almost as if she'd lost all sense of direction, and then she abruptly averted her eyes as if she was just seeing me for the very first time.“I.. I just wanted... I… I thought you'd gone out.” She said.“No.” I shook my head. “Apparently, I didn't.”She glanced at my body and awkwardly looked away again.“Are… are you going to get that?” She pointed towards the phone, still ringing on the table.“Mhmm.” I nodded curtly.“Ohh okay then.” She turned and bolted up the stairs as if she'd just seen something really horrifying.Women right? I told you I didn't quite understood this species. I sighed and grabbed the phone from the table. It was Anna. I answered the call and pressed the phone to my ear.“What's the matter?” I asked calmly.“Mr Voss.” Her frantic voice broke through the receiver. “I'm sorry for disturbing you on your wedding night. I know you're really

    Myles's POV“Can I at least get out of this fucking Wedding gown?” She asked rather rudely after a moment's silence between us.“Upstairs..” I gestured towards the stairs. “You have a fully stacked wardrobe there with all the necessities.”I saw her eyes narrow skeptically.“Yes, this is where we'll be staying.” I nodded, answering the question I knew was just beginning to form on her lips. “Just bought the house. Married now, so like any other Voss, I'm free to live outside the family house.”“Are we…” She hesitated. “Are we going to be sleeping together? Like in the same room?”“No.” I snapped. That was sharper than I had intended to but her question annoyed me somehow. We'd discussed this time and time again that we were both going to sleep in different rooms, and it was there in the damn contract she signed. Why was she bringing it up again?“You have the second floor all to yourself. I have the ground floor. Like I said, you'll find all that you need up there. I'll do my best to

  • Saint by Day,Sinner by Night   CHAPTER 44

    Serena's POVMy jaw hung open, and my eyes widened at the look of all his tattoos, but what really scared the fuck out of me was his words!I took a step back, shrinking away from him like I was suddenly seeing him for who he was, a monster? I began to look around frantically, looking for a means of escape if the need arose. The door suddenly opened, and Theo hesitated at the door with his eyes flickering between us.“Oh.. We're at this stage now.” He muttered with an amused look on his face. “I didn't mean to intrude. I'll just… I'll just be out here with the boys.” He closed the door behind him, leaving the two of us alone. Leaving me alone with the monster I was just seeing!“Who.. what are you?” I asked defiantly.Myles sighed, and I was surprised to see he didn't really look angry. He looked almost sad and broken. Like he was weary or something. But that look immediately vanished and was replaced by his cold and blank expression as he began to button up again.“Come sit down.”
