Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 80: This is complicated
I waited until Dominic’s footsteps disappeared down the staircase before the smile slipped from my face. I pulled the folder onto my lap, loosening the string before opening the worn flaps. Inside were neatly organized stacks of medical records spanning several years. Blood test results. Insurance claims. Discharge summaries from emergency visits. Prescriptions for painkillers and anti-nausea medication. Everything had been carefully sorted, each document filed in chronological order with the kind of precision that suggested Elena, like me, was a meticulous person.I started reading.The first few pages told me nothing I didn’t already know. I turned another page, then another, my movements becoming quicker with every document.Nothing.There were no MRI reports. No specialist evaluations. No diagnosis that explained the devastating conversation I’d had with Dr. Harrison yesterday.A frown settled across my face.That couldn’t be right.I went through the folder a second time, slowe
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 79: Why are you here?
Serena's POVDominic studied me quietly.For a second, I wondered if I’d pushed too far again.Then he nodded.“Yeah,” he said. “That actually makes sense.”A breath I hadn’t realized I was holding escaped my lungs.“They’re in the study. Bottom drawer of the locked cabinet.” He smiled faintly. “I’ll bring some things up with your tea. And I’ll send you the number.” “Thank you.”About ten minutes later, Dominic returned, balancing a steaming mug of tea in one hand and a thick file tucked under the other arm. He placed both on the bedside table before leaning down to press a kiss against my forehead.“Try not to stay up reading everything tonight,” he said with a tired smile. “Get some rest first.”“I will.”Satisfied, he gave my hand a gentle squeeze before quietly letting himself out, the bedroom door clicking shut behind him.I waited until Dominic’s footsteps disappeared down the staircase before the smile slipped from my face. I pulled the folder onto my lap, loosening the strin
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 78: Two steps forward, ten back
Serena’s POV“Elena.”Dominic said my name quietly, but it landed with enough force to knock the breath from my lungs.The room fell silent.My pulse hammered against my ribs as I stood rooted to the floor, every muscle in my body locked in place. I could see it happening in real time. The confusion on Dominic’s face hadn’t disappeared; it had only increased. His eyes searched mine with unsettling focus, as though he were trying to fit together pieces of a puzzle that suddenly refused to make sense.I couldn’t afford for him to find out something was wrong.Not now.I forced myself to breathe before slowly unclenching my fists. My nails had dug deep enough into my palms to leave angry crescents in my skin, but I welcomed the sting. It gave me something else to focus on besides the panic clawing at my chest. I let my shoulders sag, pressing the heels of my hands against my temples as though the argument itself had drained every ounce of strength from me.“I’m…sorry,” I murmured, my vo
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 77: The mask slips
Serena’s POVThe banner hung slightly crooked across the foyer archway, bright yellow cardstock held together with far more tape than necessary.WELCOME HOME MOMMY!The letters weren’t straight. One of the hearts was noticeably larger than the others, another had been colored outside the lines, and someone had tried to hide a tear in the paper with another strip of tape.And yet it was perfect.Painfully so.I could picture Anika standing on a chair, tongue peeking out in concentration as she carefully drew every letter, proudly announcing she could do it herself while Dominic quietly followed behind fixing whatever she had overlooked. They’d planned this. Waited for me. Counted down the days until I came home.Except…They weren’t waiting for me.The familiar scent of air freshener drifted through the foyer, mixing with the fresh lilies Agnes insisted on replacing every week and the faint smell of something baking in the kitchen. It should have felt comforting.Instead, it made my ch
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 76: Logic and heartbreak
Killian’s POVOn paper, David was right.Everything he just said made perfect sense. Planning for a future where Elena couldn’t continue on the expansion project was exactly the sort of conversation people in our positions were supposed to have.It was responsible.It was practical.It was also the first time I’d realized that logic could sound so much like heartbreak.Heat crept up the back of my neck, settling under the stiff collar of my shirt. I felt my jaw lock before I was even aware of clenching it, my fingers tightening around the edge of the table until the wood bit into my palm.“You’re asking me to replace her?” I murmured.“I…”I couldn’t hide my glare no matter how hard I tried. “You want me to start looking for someone else…after everything she just did for this company?”David didn’t flinch.Instead, he lifted one hand in a small, placating gesture, his expression remaining frustratingly composed.“I’m asking you to look at the bigger picture here.” His voice stayed mea
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 75: Maybe this is a sign
Killian’s POV“…which means if we reallocate the remaining Q3 budget toward the secondary logistics vendors, we can offset the delay by at least two weeks.”The words drifted around the boardroom, bouncing from one person to another, but they never really reached me. They blurred together into meaningless noise, fading beneath the hum of the air-conditioning and the occasional scrape of a chair across the floor.My hands rested loosely over the unopened blue folder in front of me. I hadn’t touched it once since the meeting began. Instead, my attention stayed fixed on a tiny ink mark near the base of the crystal water pitcher sitting in the middle of the table. It was nothing. Just a careless streak of blue. Yet somehow I’d spent the better part of forty-five minutes staring at it like it held the answers to questions I couldn’t even ask.Not that I could’ve repeated a single thing anyone in this room had said.My body might’ve been sitting in a board meeting, but the rest of me was s
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
