## Lydia POV

The boardroom was already half full when I walked in.

Eleven faces turned toward the door as I my heels landed steppily on the Mable floor, recalculating glance of people trying to work out whether they were looking at the CEO's wife or something else entirely.

I had not been on the agenda.

That was the point.

"Mrs. Damian," said Mr. John,the operation manager rising slightly from his seat at the far end of the table, the practiced courtesy of a man who did not yet know what was ab

  • Scent of my mistress    Chapter 101

    I unlocked my office doors and stepped inside, desperate to get away from the open hallway.Rachel followed right behind me without waiting for an invite. Damian walked in last, pulling the heavy double doors shut and locking out the rest of the world.The moment the lock clicked, the fake smiles vanished.Rachel turned on Damian like a striking snake, and her words almost sent me into a panic.I forced myself to stay still behind my desk, my fingers tightening around the edge of the leather chair as I watched her tear into him without hesitation."You shouldn't be the one saying any of this," Rachel said, her voice laced with a bitter laugh. "You act like a saint. Arrogant, bossy, always looking down on everyone. But look at you now."Damian’s jaw tightened. He stood like a stone wall, his hands shoved deep into his coat pockets."A woman took over your company," Rachel pressed on, stepping closer to him with pure hatred in her eyes. "You cheated on your wife,not just with me, but

    The ride back up to the executive floor was quieter than the descent.Grace clutched her tablet against her chest, eyes glued to the illuminated floor numbers ticking upward.."Should I call security to sweep the executive suites, ma'am? Just in case whoever slipped past the gates managed to—""No," I cut in, keeping my eyes fixed ahead. "That will only stir up more panic among the staff. Tell the floor guards to stay alert, but keep it discreet. And the moment Damian arrives, send him straight into my office without an announcement.""Understood."The elevator chimed, the brushed-metal doors sliding open to the quiet corridor of the top floor.I stepped out, the sharp click of my heels against the marble floor grounding me after the chaotic mess in the lobby. My mind was already racing through timelines—Andrew’s final days, the strange comments he had dropped, the chilling possibility that we had spent months chasing ghosts while the real puppet master was sitting comfortably in our

    Lydia's Point of View continuation Grace and I hurried toward the elevator without saying another word.The ride down felt unusually long. Neither of us spoke, but I could hear the faint murmur of voices drifting in from the lobby before the doors even opened.The reception area was crowded.Employees stood in small groups near the glass entrance, whispering among themselves while the security guards struggled to keep everyone away from the front steps. The moment they saw me, the conversations stopped, but the uneasy expressions on their faces remained."Excuse us, please."The head of security quickly stepped aside to make room for me."I'm sorry, ma'am. We tried to clean it before the staff arrived, but someone had already taken photographs."I walked toward the entrance.Bright red paint stretched across the polished wall beside the company's logo. The words were written in hurried strokes, yet they were clear enough for everyone to read.THE TRUTH HASN'T COME OUT YET.I stood th

  • Scent of my mistress    Chapter 99

    Lydia's Point of ViewThe moment I stepped into my office, I closed the door behind me and leaned against it for a few seconds.The building was quieter than it had been yesterday, but I knew better than to mistake silence for peace. News spread quickly in a company like this. Even when people stopped talking in front of me, the whispers continued the moment I walked away.I crossed the room and placed my handbag on the sofa before making my way to the large window.The city stretched beneath me, busy as always. Cars filled the streets, people hurried along the sidewalks, and life outside carried on as though nothing had happened.I envied them.For the past few weeks, every day had brought another problem. Before I could recover from one, another appeared, leaving me with barely enough time to think.A soft knock interrupted my thoughts."Come in."My secretary stepped inside with a tablet in one hand and a folder tucked beneath her arm."Good morning, ma'am.""Good morning, Grace."

    Samuel's Point of ViewThe call ended before I could say another word.I lowered the phone from my ear and stared at the dark screen, hoping it would light up again. It didn't.Ava had finally answered.After days of calling and getting nothing but silence, she had spoken to me for less than a minute before disappearing again.I leaned back in my chair and let out a slow breath.At least she was alive.That was the only thing stopping me from driving across the city and searching every place I could think of. Her voice had sounded tired, but she hadn't sounded frightened.She sounded...Careful.I replayed the conversation in my head."Stop looking for me, Samuel.""I'm fine.""Just... be careful."The last sentence refused to leave my mind.Be careful.Careful of what?She hadn't given me the chance to ask.Before I could question her, the line had gone dead.I picked up my phone again and dialed her number.This time, it went straight to voicemail.I tried again.The same thing happ

    Damian's Point of ViewThe door closed behind Lydia with a soft click.I stayed where I was, staring at the spot where she had been standing a few seconds ago. It was strange how someone could leave a room, yet their presence still linger in every corner.I lowered my eyes to the papers scattered across the floor.Some had slipped beneath the chair, while others lay crumpled near my feet. I bent down slowly, gathering them one after another, taking more time than necessary as though delaying the moment would somehow change what they meant.When I finished, I placed the documents neatly on the bed.My fingers rested on the file for a moment before I pulled them away. Lydia hadn't handed me those papers because she wanted to scare me. She had handed them to me because she had finally stopped waiting.That thought settled heavily in my chest.For months, I'd convinced myself she would forgive me like she always had. No matter how badly I messed up, she somehow found a reason to stay.Thi

    From the moment I sat at the table, with Ava across from me and Damian beside me, I could feel the tension weaving through the room, alive. The dim, golden lighting inside NEW Age Suites cast soft shadows on Ava's face, highlighting the confident smirk she kept trying to hide behind polite expressi

    The road to the house was busy as always, a restless stream of cars and headlights cutting through the night. Damian drove in silence, his jaw set tight, the muscles along his face pulled into a mask of fury that could crack at any second. His hands gripped the steering wheel as if it were the thro

    Samuel ReckoningThe room was silent, too silent for his restless thoughts. Samuel sat on the edge of the armchair, elbows propped on his knees, staring at the glass of untouched whiskey balanced in his hand. The city stretched out beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows of his apartment, lights blinki

    The air around the house that day was fresh,yet the thickness could be felt far beyond a thousand metres. Outside, the evening wind rustled the bougainvillea by the gate, but inside, not a single sound stirred.Damian pulled up in the driveway, his fingers tightening around the steering wheel. The
