Seduced Into the Boss's Service Chapter 72: Catching Up
The wind outside whispered through the lodge’s shutters, brushing snowflakes against the window panes like tiny fingers asking to be let in. Annette sat on the edge of her bed in her hotel lodge. It was 9: pm, the golden light of the antique lamp beside her made everything feel a little softer, like the world was holding its breath with her. Just as she was about to switch off her bedside lamb, her screen lit up with a video call from Jane. She hesitated for a beat, wondering what time it was in New York. 2pm. She swiped to accept. The screen came alive instantly with a chorus of overlapping voices. "ANNETTE!" "There she is!" "Took you long enough, stranger." Jane’s familiar grin beamed at her. George waved from behind, half-visible, tapping on a keyboard. Cassie popped her head into the frame with wide, sparkly eyes and a fancy bonny headband. “Okay, we’re all here," Jane said, crossing her arms dramatically. "You owe us a full update. And don’t you dare hang up in twenty m
Seduced Into the Boss's Service Chapter 71: Greece: First Week of Light
The bar was dim and gold-lit, quiet enough for one to think, and warm enough to forget. Annette sat across from Sam, a light breeze sneaking in from the terrace doors. The scent of roasted garlic and fresh basil hung in the air. Her plate was half-finished, and her wine barely touched. She sat across from Sam, looking relaxed. Her shoulders had loosened.She had texted him a few hours after waking up. “Feel like a drink?”He replied almost instantly. “Always. Meet me downstairs?”Now here they were. His white shirt sleeves rolled up, collar open, his eyes were on her, but not for too long. He didn’t ask too many questions. Just gave her space to eat, sip, breathe.“Try the grilled octopus,” he said with a wink. “Greece will disown you if you don’t.”She rolled her eyes, smiling. “Is that a law?”“Unwritten. Like most things here.”He was easy to be with. His voice never raised, and his laughter came soft. Annette felt comfortable around him. And when she finally reached for her wine,
Seduced Into the Boss's Service Chapter 70: 'Little Things Count'
The air in Greece tasted like sun. Light on her tongue as the wind teased loose strands of hair from her bun. Annette stood still for a moment outside the terminal, soaking it in. She hadn’t wanted to come—not at first. But Sam had insisted. He said it was good for her mental health. And now, standing here in the familiar heat, she was quietly glad.Sam spotted her before she saw him. His arms were already open when he crossed the space between them, wrapping her into a hug that went on longer than it should have. She didn't resist. She folded into it, breathed in his scent, and felt something loosen in her chest."You're here," he murmured into her hair, then pulled back and studied her face. His thumb brushed near her temple, eyes narrowing at the faint reddish bruise just above her brow."Annette..." he said, voice low and full of concern."It's fine," she lied."No, it's not." He took her hand without asking, held it gently between both of his. "What they did to you... everything
Seduced Into the Boss's Service Chapter 69: The Escape
The living room glowed with soft lights, tinsel wrapped carefully around the bannister, a plastic tree blinking in the corner. But it felt... staged. Like someone had built a holiday set and left the heart out of it. Annette sat stiff on the couch, wrapped in a knitted shawl, her eyes blank. Cassie sat beside her, quiet, arms gently resting against Annette’s side, just to remind her she wasn’t alone. Jane came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on a towel, George trailing behind her. “Breakfast is almost ready,” she said, voice light in a way that tried too hard. Annette nodded vaguely. George leaned down to murmur something into Jane’s ear. She gave him a look that said now’s not the time, but he caught her hand anyway and pulled her gently toward the kitchen. She followed with a sigh. Just as Jane turned on the stove, her phone buzzed on the counter. She blinked, confused, then reached over. “Hudson?” she answered softly, stepping to the side. George stood quietly nearb

“No Annette, I—”"Netty, he saved you, rushed you down to the hospital, and–” Jane was cut short in her attempt to defend Hudson.“Enough of that!" Annette sat upright, fingers clutching the sheets like she needed something to tether her—something to keep her from flying apart. Her face was pale, but her eyes burned. "You didn’t save me," she whispered, voice so soft it was barely sound. "You destroyed me."The rest stood at their place, watching nervously.The hospital room was filled with silence.Hudson froze where he stood. Those words—God, those words. He'd prepared himself for a thousand possibilities. But not this. Not her looking at him like he was the ghost that haunted her own skin."Annette..." His voice cracked. He stepped forward instinctively, hands twitching like he wanted to reach for her, but stopped short. "Please—just listen—""No." She shoved herself upright with shaky limbs. The IV line tugged, but she didn’t care. "Don’t come near me.""You don’t understand," he
Seduced Into the Boss's Service Chapter 67: Christmas Night
The hospital smelled like bleach and something colder—like metal or rain. The air was dry, and the lights were insanely bright. But as Jane and Cassie walked down the quiet corridor toward Annette's room, none of that really registered. Their hearts were too full. Too heavy. Jane kept a firm grip on Cassie’s hand. Cassie came with a backpack. Cassie sniffled beside her. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes red and swollen from crying the whole ride there. Her small frame shook with every breath.“Why does this keep happening to her?” she asked, her voice cracking in the quiet hallway. “Why is it always her? It’s not fair, Jane. She’s always the one in the hospital. She’s always the one getting hurt or sick.”Jane didn’t have an answer. She just gave her hand a gentle squeeze. “I know, baby. I know.”When they finally reached the room, Jane paused with her hand on the doorknob. For a second, she couldn’t move. She was afraid of what might be on the other side. Afraid of more tubes. More
