Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 47: A shaky plan
Serena’s POV“Can Annika have a half-day?” I asked the nurse, desperate to leave before my own thoughts became impossible to control.“Of course, Mrs. Reyes,” she replied kindly. “Just sign the release at the front.”Ten minutes later, we were back inside Killian’s SUV. Annika was safely buckled into the back seat, her small backpack resting beside her, looking completely content. Meanwhile, I was desperately trying to figure out how to get away from this situation before I started making the worst possible mistake.Because somewhere along the line, I was seeing the man I hated become someone I couldn’t easily hate anymore, and my revenge plans were starting to waver.And I couldn’t let that happen. Killian started the engine, and within seconds, a soft children’s melody filled the car through the speakers.I turned toward him, my brows furrowing in confusion. “How do you even have this on your playlist, Killian?”He glanced at me, a small, almost embarrassed smile touching his lips
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 46: The man I remembered
Serena’s POVThe drive to the Upper East Side felt endless.Traffic on Lexington Avenue barely moved, and I sat in the passenger seat of Killian’s SUV, my fingers twisting the strap of my bag repeatedly as I tried to force the memory of what almost happened in his office out of my mind.An almost kiss.Because that was what it was. I shook my head, immediately focusing on the important matter at hand. Every part of this new life I was living was a risk, but Annika was the one thing that could truly break me. If anything happened to her because I was too distracted, I knew I would never forgive myself.Killian drove in silence, his attention fixed on the road ahead, occasionally checking the mirrors out of habit. After several minutes, he reached toward the center console, pulled out a small metallic tin, and opened it.Without looking away from the road, he extended it toward me.Inside were mints.I stared at the tin, then at his profile, my brows furrowing in confusion."“What is
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 45: One breath away
Serena’s POVI knocked once on the door of Killian's office before pushing it open.He was standing behind his massive desk, his suit jacket discarded over the back of his chair, the sleeves of his crisp white shirt rolled up to his forearms. The surface of the desk was covered with different layers of paper and he was leaning forward, one hand resting against the papers as his eyes moved over every detail.Hearing the door, he didn’t look up immediately.“Come in,” he muttered, his voice rough from exhaustion.Then his eyes lifted, and his expression changed when he saw me. “Elena. Welcome. Could you please come here for a second? I need your insight on what you think about the changes they’re suggesting for the side of this property.”I paused at the edge of the room, my purse clutched against my side. Looking at him now, with the informant's message still burning a hole in my pocket, the air felt thick. The message hadn’t mentioned if he knew about the crane accident being intent
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 44: The enemy within
Serena’s POVThe message arrived the moment I pulled the car into park in the underground garage of Rhodes Incorporated. I turned off the ignition, and for a few seconds, the only sound was the murmur of people some distance away in the garage.Then my phone screen lit up on the console.Unknown Number: The waterfront accident was not an accident. I heard a conversation. Someone wanted it to happen. That is all I know.My fingers froze around the steering wheel.For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.My mind did not go to the company, the investigation, or what this could mean for Rhodes. It went straight back to that day.The sound of metal tearing through the air.The panic that had ripped through my body as the beam came loose above us.The dust. The chaos. The terrifying certainty that everything was about to end.Until Killian’s arms had wrapped around me.Until he pulled me against him and shielded me almost immediately.I remembered standing there afterward, still shaking ben
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 43: Not an accident
Killian’s POV“Killian, did you completely forget we were supposed to meet the wedding coordinator today?”A sudden involuntary wave of irritation burned through my chest at Vivian’s question.“Choose whichever one you like, Vivian. I’m fine with whatever you decide.”The moment the words left my mouth, I knew they were the wrong ones.“You say that every single time,” she snapped.Her voice rose slightly, frustration bleeding through before the tears followed. “Would it honestly hurt you to just show up for one of these things? To act like you actually care about our wedding? About building a life together?”A pause.Then, softer:“Did I do something wrong, Killian?”Her voice cracked.“Are you punishing me for something?”Guilt settled heavily behind my eyes.The worst part was that Vivian hadn’t forced me into this engagement. I hadn’t walked toward it with excitement or certainty either, but I had agreed. I had made my choice. We were both trapped inside the consequences of decis
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 42: Is this divine punishment?
Killian’s POVI was happy for Dominic. I really was.That was the lie I tried to convince myself of the exact moment the front door clicked shut behind me and I stepped into the cool evening air.But the second I reached the street, the reminder that I was never truly alone came into view.Marcus’s car was parked some feet away from mine. He sat in the driver’s seat, a silent shadow I’d assigned to watch over me which should have been reassuring. Instead, it made everything worse.When you are being watched every second of your life, you learn how to trap your reactions down in your throat where no one can see them.When you spend every second of your life being observed, you learn how to bury your reactions deep enough that no one can see them. You learn how to lock everything away before anyone can ask the questions you don’t have answers for.I got into the driver’s seat, closed the door, and started the engine. I pulled away from the curb, but I didn’t go far. I turned the corner
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 7: The problem of Elena Reyes
Killian’s POV“You strike me as the kind of man who likes winning so much he forgets to ask whether the prize survives you.”The sentence replayed in my head with brutal, mocking clarity.Again.Again.Crack.The yellow tennis ball slammed against the concrete wall, ricocheting back with a vicious
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 6: There’s a catch
Serena’s POVRain hammered against the windshield, a violent drumming that made my body shake with terror.My hands slipped on the leather steering wheel. I could smell the ozone, the wet pavement, and the metallic tang of fear rising in the back of my throat. I pressed the brakes.They screamed on
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 5: Ghosts Don’t Introduce Themselves
Serena’s POV“Have we met before?”Killian’s question didn't just hang in the air; it wrapped around my throat like a silk noose.For one terrible second, my body forgot its training. Forgot the name Elena Reyes. Forgot that I was supposed to be a woman with a plan, not a girl with a broken heart.
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 4: The Long game
Serena’s POV“I just want to say for the record,” Chloe said from the bed, watching me step into my heels, “that the Elena I know would rather eat glass than attend a work gala.”“People change.”“You keep saying that.” She sat up and crossed her legs. “Before the accident you wouldn’t even work at
