THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS CHAPTER 54- THE CARD ON THE TABLE
William’s POV When I walked back into the penthouse, the silence greeted me. It wasn’t the empty kind of quiet I usually experienced. No, this felt different,more like a space that was actually lived in. Soft lights illuminated the hallway, and a faint citrus scent hung in the air; it was Jane’s soap. One of the throw pillows on the couch was out of place, just slightly shifted. Little things. Seemingly insignificant. Yet, I noticed every one of them. I loosened my tie and placed my phone on the counter, mentally gearing up for another long night of reports and contracts. And then I saw it. Sitting on the dining table was an envelope cream-colored, heavy stock, with gold-embossed lettering. Not a piece of mail. Not internal paperwork. An invitation. My steps slowed unexpectedly. I found myself stopping next to the table and picking it up. Executive Networking Dinner Hosted by Lawrence Tomorrow Evening — Private Event** My jaw clenched tightly. Law
THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS CHAPTER 53- THE INVITATION
Jane's POV There’s something oddly transformative about success. It doesn’t announce itself with a bang; instead, it subtly shifts the atmosphere. People now flashed quicker smiles my way. They unconsciously stepped aside in the hallway, and assistants lingered a beat longer while passing me documents. Designers who had barely noticed me just a couple of weeks ago now greeted me with a warmth, calling me “Jane" as if we were old friends. It was both unsettling and a bit thrilling. At that moment, I stood in the creative lounge, holding a fabric swatch up to a mannequin as Mira and two senior designers debated the perfect sleeve length. “That ruins the line,” Mira argued. “It makes it modern,” one designer countered. Clearing my throat, I chimed in gently, “What if we kept the structure and just relaxed the cuff a bit?” All three designers turned to look at me, and for a split second, panic surged within me. But then I saw Mira's expression brighten. “... That mi
THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS CHAPTER 52- SEEN DIFFERENTLY
Jane's POV The following morning, the office felt… off. Not in the usual sense of unfamiliarity that accompanies a new place. Instead, it was as if a space I had always known suddenly regarded me through a different lens. I sensed it right away as I walked into the lobby. The security guard greeted me with an actual smile. The receptionist, who typically barely acknowledged me, called me by name. And two women loitering by the elevators fell silent when they spotted me, hastily pretending they weren’t chatting at all. I slowed my pace, acutely aware of the shift. It wasn’t a cold reception, nor was it truly warm. It was… a heightened awareness. By the time I reached the creative floor, that feeling shadowed me, persistent like a following spirit. People nodded as I passed. Someone called out, “Good morning, Jane,” with a tone that communicated curiosity instead of apathy. Jayden was waiting at my desk, sporting a cheerful grin. “You’re famo
THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS CHAPTER 51- ME IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Jane's POV I didn’t get any sleep. It wasn’t because of nightmares from the press or worries about Daniel weirdly or worries about William, nor was it the tension from Regina’s interruption the night before. The reason I lay awake was a message from Mira that arrived at 1:14 a.m.: “Bring your navy concept. Tomorrow. Internal showcase.” No explanation. No emojis. No comforting words. Just that simple, direct message. So by morning, I felt like a person who had lost a battle with her ceiling throughout the night. The penthouse was still when I quietly slipped out of the bedroom. William had already left; he’d mentioned an early board meeting. Strangely, that made my chest feel both lighter and heavier at once. I made a cup of coffee that I barely tasted, staring at my sketch folder as if it might explode at any moment. Internal showcase. That wasn’t just training or practice; it meant being exposed. By the time I reached the creative department, my hands
THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS CHAPTER 50- THE SPACE BETWEEN
Jane's POV That night, the penthouse felt unusually quiet. It wasn’t a soothing silence; it was oppressive, as if the very walls were holding their breath. Lying on my bed, I stared at the ceiling, replaying that moment over and over again in my mind. The office, the lights, the almost tender brush of his hand against my face, and the way his expression shifted when Regina entered the room. And then came the distance, the way his voice turned so cold and controlled. “It won’t happen again.” My chest tightened as I turned onto my side, burying my face in the pillow. Why did it hurt so much? Nothing had actually happened, and that was the issue. We’d almost crossed a line, and now there was this invisible barrier between us. The next morning felt even more daunting. As I entered the kitchen, I saw William already there, dressed in a crisp white shirt with his hair neatly styled. He had a coffee in hand, fully in CEO mode, and he hardly glanced my way. “Good morning,” I sa
THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS CHAPTER 49- DANGEROUS TO MY CONTROL
William’s POV The office felt unnaturally quiet. Not the soothing silence you'd hope for, but rather the kind that pressed against your ears, amplifying every stray thought. City lights streamed through the glass walls of my office, casting shimmering reflections on the polished floor. It was past midnight, yet I hadn’t budged from my desk in over an hour. I wasn’t actually working. The realization frustrated me more than it should have. The files before me remained untouched, my laptop screen had dimmed twice due to inactivity, and the quarterly reports I had intended to go over tonight lay unopened. Instead, my mind kept drifting back to a single moment. Jane. She had been standing too close, her breath hitching slightly, her wide, uncertain eyes meeting mine with a vulnerability that felt disarmingly honest. The space between us had disappeared as if it never existed, and I had almost.... I clenched my jaw, leaning back in my chair and running a hand down my face in f
THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS CHAPTER 45- QUIET FIRE
Jane's POV By Monday morning, the creative department felt a lot less daunting. Sure, it still had its intimidating aspects,the glass walls, the open desks crowded with sketches and fabric samples, the bustling energy of creativity but it didn’t overwhelm me the way it once had. That shift in my
THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS CHAPTER 44- A DRESS THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
Jane's POV The morning sun streamed into the creative department, casting a warm, golden light that made everything appear inviting and soft. I stood by my drafting table, pencil poised in hand, sketching the design for the dress that Mira had assigned to me. It was a tough project, meant to
THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS CHAPTER 43- LINES WE SHOULDN'T CROSS
Jane's POV The creative floor cleared out more quickly than I had anticipated. By seven o'clock, most of the interns had gathered their things, laughing and chatting as they dashed to the elevators, eager to escape after a long Monday. But I remained. Not out of obligation, but because
THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS CHAPTER 42- TAKING STEPS
Jane's POV Monday arrived quicker than I anticipated. The alarm buzzed at six, and for a brief moment, I was disoriented. But when I finally opened my eyes, I took in the unfamiliar ceiling, elegant gray curtains, and the distant shimmer of the city below. I was in the penthouse. Willia
