Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 71: Feel better soon
Serena's POVHe rested the tablet lightly against his forearm.“Over the past few weeks or months, have you experienced any episodes of dizziness? Blurred vision? Sudden weakness? Numbness or tingling in your arms or legs? Anything that seemed unusual, even if it passed quickly?”I froze, and my eyes drifted down to my hands. Ever since I had woken up in this body a year ago, there had been mornings when I would stand up and the room would tilt violently, forcing me to grip the edge of the sink until the world stopped spinning. Afternoons when the vision in my right eye would suddenly blur, as though someone had drawn a thin curtain across half the world.Days when my fingers would go numb without warning while I was writing, forcing me to stop because the pen kept slipping from my grasp.I’d never questioned any of it.This body had never been mine, and after being in a coma, I’d just accepted those strange moments as part of the price I was paying for living someone else’s life.
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 70: What if I was wrong?
Serena’s POVDominic stirred.His fingers tightened around mine before anything else moved. Then he lifted his head slowly, blinking against the light as though it took a moment to remember where he was. His eyes were bloodshot, his face creased from sleeping at such an awkward angle, and for one brief second he looked completely disoriented.Then he saw that I was awake.His entire face transformed. The exhaustion seemed to drain from him in an instant, replaced by a raw, naked relief that made his lips tremble.“Elena,” he breathed. He didn't move for a second, as if he was afraid that speaking the name would make me disappear. “You're awake.”“Hi,” I whispered. My voice was hoarse, little more than a rasp.A broken laugh escaped him before he leaned forward, resting his forehead gently against my temple. I felt the warmth of his tears as they brushed against my skin.“Thank God,” he whispered, one trembling hand sliding carefully through my hair. “God…sweetheart, you scared the li
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 69: Avenge me
Vivian didn’t respond immediately.Instead, she studied me.Slowly, almost cautiously, she stepped closer until barely a foot separated us. Her eyes moved over my face with concentration, lingering on the tension locked in my jaw, the tight set of my shoulders, the fingers I’d unconsciously curled into a fist at my side.Then she looked into my eyes.“Killian,” she raised her brows. “You’re worrying me.”“I’m fine,” I replied almost immediately, “I’m just tired.”“No,” she shook her head. “This isn’t like you.”I frowned.“What isn’t like me?”“You’ve barely spoken a word since we got here,” Her voice remained gentle, but there was a growing suspicion beneath it. “You’ve been staring at that door for nearly forty minutes like the world is about to end. You’re acting as though...”She stopped, narrowing her eyes at me. “As though what, Vivian?”She hesitated, her fingers tightening around her bag. “As though she is far more than just an employee to you.”Something inside me snapped ta
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 68: The line I can’t cross
Killian’s POVDominic released his grip on my coat so abruptly that the fabric slipped from his fingers before he was already moving. He crossed the waiting area in hurried strides, Vivian and I close behind as we followed the doctor into the corridor.The doctor glanced down at the clipboard in his hand before lifting his eyes to us.“Are you the family of Elena Reyes?” “I’m her husband,” Dominic barely got the words out before they broke apart. He stepped closer, his hands curling into tight fists at his sides. “How is she? Is she alright? Can I see her?”Some of the doctor’s guarded expression eased into a small, reassuring smile.“She’s stable, Mr. Reyes.”The breath Dominic had been holding left him in a rush.“Her vital signs are stable, and she regained consciousness not long after she arrived. We’ve completed the initial blood work, and at this stage, everything points to physical exhaustion complicated by dehydration and low blood sugar.”He lowered his eyes to the clipboard
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 67: Conflicted feelings
Killian’s POVThe siren pressed relentlessly against my skull, a deafening wail that seemed to vibrate through every inch of the ambulance. Each blast rattled the walls, swallowing every other sound until it became impossible to tell where the noise ended and the panic inside me began.Under me, the floor jolted and swayed as the vehicle navigated the night traffic, but my focus remained locked on the narrow gurney. Elena lay frighteningly still, her complexion drained of every trace of color. Long, lashes rested against cheeks that looked far too pale under the harsh lights overhead and when I reached for her hand, it was cold enough to make my stomach tighten. It didn’t feel like the hand of a living woman. It felt like a stone left out in winter.“Sir, I need you to move back a little so I can secure the leads.”The paramedic’s voice was calm, almost detached, as he reached across the cramped space between us. His hands moved with the kind of efficiency that came from doing the s
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 66: What other reason?
Serena’s POVKillian stopped beside our table, close enough that I caught the faint scent of cedar and rain clinging to his coat.For a brief moment, neither of us spoke.His face gave nothing away, yet the muscle in his jaw worked once, then again. He lifted a hand to the back of his neck, rubbing it absently, a small, restless gesture I rarely saw from the man who was usually so composed.“I saw Vivian’s message saying she was meeting you here after the committee meeting,” he said at last. His voice was even, but his eyes wandered briefly over my shoulder before settling somewhere just beyond me, as though looking directly at me was impossible. “I was finishing a meeting around the corner, so…I thought I’d stop in and say hello.”I looked at him for a long second.His tie had been loosened. One side of his collar sat slightly higher than the other, and the last button of his coat had been fastened into the wrong buttonhole. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to make me wonder about h
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
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 3: The girl in the mirror
Serena’s POVThe first thing I noticed was the ceiling.White. Smooth. A water stain in the far left corner shaped like nothing in particular. I stared at it for a long time before I understood that I was staring at it, that my eyes were open, that I was somewhere.I turned my head.Machines. Tubes
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 2: Pieces out of place
Killian’s POVThe gala was still going.That was the part that didn’t make sense. Three hundred people still laughing, still drinking, still moving through a room that felt completely different to me now, like a house after a fire where everything looks the same but nothing is. The music was still
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 1: The Night They Broke Me
Serena’s POV“You really outdid yourself this time, Serena. I have attended every Rhodes event for the past three years and this is by far the best one yet.”I smiled at David Chen, Rhodes CFO and head of partnerships, and raised my glass. “Three months of planning. Every detail matters.”“Three mo
