THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 55. WE DESERVE A BREAK
The marble halls of Dylan Corp were usually defined by an atmosphere of quiet, multi-million-dollar efficiency. That efficiency vanished the second the desk phone at the executive assistant station chimed, and Amber pressed the receiver to her ear."This is the Dylan Corp executive line. How can I help?""Amber, put Davis on the phone. Now!" Elena’s voice barked through the speaker, breathless and commanding."Jesus, okay!" Amber gasped, dropping her pen. She didn't bother using the internal intercom. She stood up, smoothing her skirt, and ran down the polished hallway at the absolute maximum speed her three-inch heels could carry her. She pushed through the double frosted-glass doors of the corner suite without knocking. "Davis! You have an urgent call from Elena!"Davis didn't even look up from his tablet, his fountain pen hovering over a contract. He let out a long, heavy sigh. "Aren't you supposed to be on vacation with your husband?" he asked into his desk speaker as he picked up
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 54. LOOK, IT'S CHELSEA
The Harbor Lights Festival took place in Shelter island every summer. This summer it had transformed Shelter Island into a sprawling, sun-drenched carnival of light and sound. The coastal air was alive with the distant melodies of acoustic bands scattered along the boardwalk, while bright paper lanterns strung between sea-weathered lampposts danced in the ocean breeze. Above the shore, dozens of colorful kites cut through the clear blue sky like soaring paper birds.Elena held tightly to Richard’s arm, taking in the picturesque scene with wide, delighted eyes. "Oh, Richard, look at those lanterns! It truly is like something out of a novel," she marvelled, her face flushed with excitement."Nothing like the city, yeah," Richard agreed with a warm smile, admiring the way the summer sunlight caught her hair. He stopped at a nearby vendor to buy her a delicate, bird-shaped kite before they continued down the crowded cobblestone street toward the waterfront.Their first stop was a charming
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 53. A NEW CHAPTER
Summer had settled over the quiet coastal town in a blanket of warm gold and gentle, ocean-scented breezes. Time had sailed Chelsea gently into steady breaths and a newfound sense of purpose, smoothing away the sharp, ragged edges of the life she had left behind in the city.The greatest gift of that passage of time was currently sleeping softly in a woven bassinet beside the kitchen counter. Susan was growing into a beautiful, strong little girl—so radiant, with her delicate features and dark, soulful eyes, that Chelsea sometimes felt it was almost illegal for such a miracle to be in her sole possession. Things were still challenging, as life often was for a single mother rebuilding from scratch, but the days had been far harder before her miracle baby arrived to anchor her heart.Chelsea had arrived in this town with no concrete plan, carrying only a small suitcase and relying on a single person in the entire world. Eugene was a childhood friend with whom she had reconnected online
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 52. BOOK TWO
It had been nearly a year since the chaotic circus of New York politics finally cooled down, washing away the frantic energy of the campaign trail and leaving behind the steady, demanding rhythm of governance. Queen Dylan had won, taking the oath as mayor with the kind of untouchable main-character energy that felt less like an election result and more like an inevitable coronation.Since assuming the office, she has been a total force, diving headfirst into her biggest promises around subway safety and city security. But behind all the political wins, the real shift was happening quietly at home. Queen had learned to manage her world with a newfound, unexpected calm. She and Robert had reached a quiet understanding—they were no longer husband and wife in the romantic sense, but they were solid companions with decades of history and a son. Her respect for him had only grown, especially after the massive role he played in helping her win.Naturally, the media still had its field day. T
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 51. THE QUILLS STATION
Davis poured a steady stream of scotch over two ice cubes, his eyes fixed on the amber liquid swirling against the glass. He was doing his absolute best to stay grounded, keeping his focus entirely on making sure Elena’s wedding day went off without a single hitch. He was determined to be genuinely happy for her, regardless of how bleak, silent, and suffocating his own personal life had become. She was one of his oldest friend, after all.Elena had summoned every drop of her courage to face Queen in the days following the bachelorette party confession. Surprisingly, Queen had not tried to sabotage things. Instead, she had thrown a remarkably generous sum of money into the wedding account to show that Elena still carried her blessing—a gesture born out of a genuine, buried affection for her former protégé. Queen was, however, still ice-cold toward Richard, and she remained deeply offended with Davis for aiding in the public destruction of her well crafted plans for him. But she had not
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 50. A SURPRISE FOR ELENA
The air inside Helen’s suburban home was thick with the scent of vanilla candles, fresh lilies, and the kind of electric, muffled excitement that only precedes a well-kept secret.For the first time in months, Helen’s living room had been stripped of its quiet, grief-shadowed atmosphere and transformed into a sanctuary of soft lighting and pastel drapery. It was a bachelorette party, a surprise masterminded entirely by Helen. Having finally heard her daughter’s true feelings, Helen knew she had to help Elena break the golden chains binding her to the Dylan legacy.With a stroke of brilliant maternal strategy, Helen had managed to convince Queen Dylan to let the gathering be held at her place, under the guise of keeping it strictly private for close friends and well-wishers. Because Queen’s mayoral campaign boat was currently sailing on an ocean of favorable polls—buoyed by the spectacular, emotionally resonant return of Robert—the matriarch hadn't bothered to demand the usual high-pro
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 5. A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
The words hit like a slap. “What?” Chelsea stepped closer. “Why?” “There was an environmental issue on one of the floors,” he said quietly. “They said I was responsible.” “But you weren’t,” she protested immediately. “You’ve been saying for weeks that the equipment was faulty.” “I know,” he
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 4. HOPE AND DISMAY
Chelsea bolted in through the glass doors of the clinic panting breathlessly. The clinic buzzed with controlled chaos—rolling carts, murmured diagnoses, sharp footsteps echoing down white corridors that smelled faintly of antiseptic and burnt coffee. It was nothing like the small facility she had
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 3. ELEVATOR ROMANCE
Chelsea’s heart was still racing when the elevator doors finally slid shut. Her cheeks were flushing red.Not because she had almost missed it—but because of him.She clutched the pink lunch bag closer to her chest, willing her breathing to slow. This was supposed to be quick. Drop off lunch. Kiss
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 2. FINDING A DATE
By the time Davis got to work, the ache from the morning had hardened into something sharp and reckless.It was the kind of ache he recognized too well. It settled into him the way neglect always had, carving out a familiar hollow in his chest. He had learned long ago that when something hurt and r
