Elliot's Pov

I did not respond because I did not know what else to say. Liam meant well but his kind of help always came with strings attached. He wanted to protect me but he also wanted to control me and I was done being controlled by anyone.

The city lights appeared in the distance and I felt a mix of fear and determination. I was going back to the place that fired me and the place where everyone thought I was either a criminal or a victim. I did not know which was worse.

    Elliot's Pov I did not respond because I did not know what else to say. Liam meant well but his kind of help always came with strings attached. He wanted to protect me but he also wanted to control me and I was done being controlled by anyone. The city lights appeared in the distance and I felt a mix of fear and determination. I was going back to the place that fired me and the place where everyone thought I was either a criminal or a victim. I did not know which was worse. "Where exactly do you want to go?" the driver asked as we entered the city. "Drop me at the Blackwood Tech main building," I said. "At this hour?" the driver asked. "It will be closed." "I know," I said. "Just drop me there." The driver shrugged again and drove through the empty streets. At two in the morning the city looked different. Quieter and darker and almost peaceful. A few people walked on the sidewalks and some bars were still open but most places were closed. We pulled up in front of Black

  • THE BILLIONAIRE FORBIDDEN ASSISTANT    Chapter 38: Escape In the Night

    Elliot's Pov I sat on my bed watching the clock on the wall tick past nine and then ten and then eleven. The house was finally getting quiet as everyone went to their rooms. I heard James walk past my door and stop for a second before continuing down the hallway. He was checking to make sure I was still here. I was still here but not for long. At midnight I got up and pulled a small bag out from under my bed. I had packed it earlier with just the basics because I did not need much. A change of clothes and my wallet and my phone charger and the glass paperweight Aiden gave me. I did not know why I packed that last thing but I could not leave it behind. I changed into dark clothes so I would be harder to see and put on my sneakers. Then I sat on the edge of my bed and waited another thirty minutes to make sure everyone was really asleep. The house was silent except for the usual creaking sounds old houses make. I stood up and grabbed my bag and walked to my bedroom door. I opened i

  • THE BILLIONAIRE FORBIDDEN ASSISTANT    Chapter 37: Standing Up

    Aiden's Pov I sat in the chair against the wall and tried to make myself invisible. The board meeting room felt too small and too hot and every person in here was staring at me like I did not belong. Maybe I did not belong anymore but Marcus said I should come so I came. Richard sat at the head of the table looking calm and in control like always. The board members filled the other seats and they all had their laptops open and their serious faces on. This was going to be bad and I could feel it. The forensic accountant stood up and started her presentation. She showed spreadsheets and transaction records and talked about offshore accounts. Every word she said made the evidence against Vivian stronger and I should have felt good about that but I just felt tired. Then Vivian walked in and everyone stopped talking. She wore a gray suit and her hair was perfect and her makeup covered the fact that she looked exhausted. She sat down across from Richard and put her briefcase on the tabl

    Vivian's Pov I stood in my apartment staring at the folder on my kitchen counter and my hands would not stop shaking. The fake evidence sat inside waiting for me to use it and I had been staring at it for twenty minutes trying to convince myself this was the right thing to do. It was not the right thing and I knew that but I was out of options. My phone rang and I jumped because I had been so focused on the folder. I looked at the screen and saw Richard's name. My stomach twisted but I answered anyway. "Hello," I said and tried to sound confident. "Vivian," Richard said and his voice was cold. "The board meeting starts in one hour. You need to be there." "I know," I said. "I will be there." "Come ready to explain yourself," Richard said. "The forensic accountants have found more evidence and it does not look good for you." "I can explain everything," I said even though I could not. "You better," Richard said. "Because if you cannot then you are finished and I cannot help you

    Elliot's PovI sat on my bed staring at the wall and counting the flowers on the wallpaper. There were forty three of them and I had counted them five times already because I had nothing else to do. My room felt smaller than I remembered and the air was too thick and I could not breathe right.It had been two days since James brought me back here and I had barely left this room. I ate meals alone and ignored everyone who tried to talk to me and spent most of my time looking out the window at the gates that kept me trapped.Someone knocked on the door and I did not answer because I knew who it was. The door opened anyway and Liam walked in wearing another perfect suit. He always wore suits even at home like he was ready for a business meeting at any second."Dad wants you at dinner tonight," Liam said and closed the door behind him.I kept staring at the wall. "No.""It was not a question," Liam said."I do not care," I said and finally looked at him. "I do not want to sit at that tabl

    Aiden's Pov Maya finished her coffee and stood up. "I have to get to a meeting but I will let you know if I find anything." "Okay," I said. She started to walk away but then stopped and turned back. "Aiden?" "Yeah?" I said. "I am glad you came in today," Maya said. "It means you have not given up yet." I did not know how to respond to that so I just nodded. She smiled and then walked away toward the meeting rooms. I turned back to my laptop and pulled up my email again. The message from Marcus was still open and I read it one more time. Someone had sent new evidence against Vivian overnight and that evidence was helping to clear the investigation. I clicked on the attachments in the email and started looking through them. Financial documents and transaction records and emails that showed Vivian moving money from company accounts to offshore accounts. It was all very detailed and very damning. But something felt off about it. I zoomed in on one of the bank statements and stud

    Elliot's POV I caught up to Aiden in his office where he was throwing things into a cardboard box. Files and photos and awards he had earned over the years all getting tossed in without any care. His hands were shaking but his face was stone. "Aiden," I said from the doorway. He didn't look up.

The sun was just coming up and the glass windows reflected the orange sky and it would have looked beautiful if I did not feel so hollow inside. Security should have stopped me f
