THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 35. LOVE, LIES AND LOSS
Everybody spoke of the Dylan family with a cautious, awe-inspired reverence. Her father had warned her they did not love like average people; Davis himself had described the Dylan Corp not as a mere building, but as a fortress designed to protect a curated public image. People thought twice before crossing their path. But as Chelsea sat on the bathroom floor, the haze finally cleared from her eyes. The horror of her dilemma brought a brutal clarity. She remembered that she had witnessed their capacity for ruin firsthand. Davis had been ready to discard her father’s career without a second thought. Paddy, as disgusting as he was, had seen his professional life snuffed out in a heartbeat once Queen Dylan set her sights on him. Then there was Robert— Robert’s downfall had been so complete it left no room for questions, only caution. Knowledge of these things was supposed to instill fear, but instead, Chelsea was consumed by a white-hot rage. It was so convenient of him to lead her on, t
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 34. THINGS FALL APART
By the end of the week, the world had failed to tilt back onto its axis. The sun rose and set with an indifferent rhythm that Chelsea found offensive. Nothing had changed. The long, revelatory text from Davis hadn't been a bridge; it had been a headstone. He had dumped her without a tangible reason. Her father’s bitter warnings echoed in the hollow chambers of her chest: These people were not capable of love. They were built of marble and frozen trauma, and she was merely a girl who had tried to warm a statue.The heartbreak began to manifest physically. Chelsea became a translucent shadow of the girl who had once walked the hospital halls with a quick smile. Her scrubs seemed to hang heavier on her frame, and her skin took on a sallow, waxen quality. The light in her eyes hadn't just dimmed; it had been snuffed out. She still did her work, still smiled when necessary—but it was mechanical now. Forced. Her laughter, when it came, sounded unfamiliar. There was a new fear in her heart.
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 33. ROBERT DYLAN
Chelsea didn’t move for a long time. She sat on the edge of her bed, the glowing screen of her phone casting a clinical, blue light over her tear-stained face. She had spent days starving for a word from him, and now that it was here, the sheer volume of it was overwhelming. She gave herself hope. Maybe everything she had been telling herself—the waiting, the patience, the belief that he would come back—had not been foolish after all.Chelsea,I don’t know how to start this, so I’ll just say it the way it is.You’ve been asking about my father. About why things are the way they are. I thought I should tell you. I think I owe you that much.Chelsea’s breath slowed as her eyes moved across the words. This wasn’t what she expected.Still, she kept reading.---I wasn’t always this… detached about him.There was a time I admired him. I was a child, so of course I did. He was larger than life—successful, powerful, always surrounded by people who treated him like he mattered. I thought that
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 32. FRACTURES OF THE HEART
Chelsea did not remember how she got home.One moment she was on the road, her knees weak, her chest tight with a pain she could not name—and the next, João had returned to escort her into the car and taking her home. Davis was not with him.Her room felt unfamiliar somehow. The same butterfly stickers still clung to the wall, the same soft curtains swayed gently with the evening breeze, but everything felt… off. Like the world had tilted slightly and refused to right itself again.She blinked slowly.Davis would call.That was the first thought that came, steady and certain.He always did.The first twenty-four hours were a blur of static. Chelsea sat on the edge of her bed in the new, staring at the beige walls with wide, unblinking eyes as if it held answers she desperately needed.It didn’t.Nothing did.It was all like a cruel vivid dream to her. Every time a car slowed down on the street outside, she stilled to listen, hoping to hear his voice, hoping to wake from the bad dream
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 31. DUTY IS DEATH OF LOVE
“What are you doing here?" Davis asked, his voice flat, carrying all the excitement of a rock. His eyes barely lifted from the glow of his computer screen. If anything, he looked inconvenienced—like she was an interruption he had no patience for.Elena didn't offer a polite greeting. She crossed the expanse of his office with a sharp, rhythmic click of her heels, dropped her designer bag onto the empty leather sofa, and folded her arms over her chest. Her eyes were hard, shimmering with a mixture of indignation and desperation."Seriously, Davis? What am I doing here?" she countered. "I have been trying to reach you for months. I figured you wouldn't want to see me if I told her who I actually was.""She already knows who you are," Davis said drably, turning his chair back toward his computer screen as if the glowing monitor offered a sanctuary from her presence. "You said you wanted a break after that night at the gala. I didn't know the break was over.""Maybe you would have known i
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 30. UNWELCOMED VISITOR
To profess love was an act of profound vulnerability, a brave surrender that Davis Dylan had spent a lifetime avoiding. To love someone was to hand them a weapon, acknowledging that their words or actions held the singular power to make or mar you. For most of his life, Davis had moved through the world where "love" was a transactional script. He had said it without meaning it, and he had heard it from others as a cold formality—actors performing for an audience of socialites and shareholders.Loving meant that the very existence of another person mattered more than your own, a concept that felt alien and dangerous to a man built on control. This was why he had been so taken aback when Chelsea said those words to him. How could she love a person whose imperfections were as glaring as his? How could she tether her heart to a man whose life promised nothing but collateral damage and public scrutiny?He tried to comfort himself with the cynical thought that she simply didn't understand t
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 26. A CHOICE OF HEARTS
Shock clouded her face. She blinked, her lips parting slightly. “What?” “I am asking you to be my girlfriend. I want us to date officially." "I know what you are asking, but..." She glanced around the driveway, at the modest house and the shed. "I mean, you are... I don’t know... you are Davis D
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 25. YOU DON'T OWN HER
Time had passed and Chelsea and her dad had been able to put differences aside and live together, but it was hardly the same. The air of tension hung above them like a heavy fog, and their talks were relegated to necessary questions and updates. It was a sterile, functional existence. That tension
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 24. FRACTURES AND FAULT LINES
"Is she okay?” Elena asked, her voice laced with genuine concern as she took in the sight of Chelsea trembling at Robert’s side.Robert frowned, his brows knitting together as he glanced down at her. “I’m pretty sure it’s that rascal she’s been seeing,” he muttered, a hint of irritation in his tone
THE JANITOR'S DAUGHTER: Mistress for the CEO 23. SHATTERED IN HIS EYES
“Fuck!” Davis cursed under his breath.Everything happened at once.He pulled back sharply, grabbing for his shirt while Chelsea scrambled in panic, her fingers shaking so badly she could barely gather her clothes. She curled into herself on the desk, trying to shield her body, her heart slamming v
