Jane hardly got any sleep.

Not because she was scared this time.

But from excitement.

It felt like butterflies fluttering in her stomach, eager to burst free. By morning, she had changed her outfit twice before finally opting for a simple blouse and black trousers, professional, yet relaxed. She didn't want to come off as overzealous.

When she arrived at the office floor, she anticipated silence.

What she didn’t expect was to find Williams already waiting by his office door, coffee still in his hand, his gaze locked on the elevator as if he had been expecting her.

“Good morning,” she greeted, trying to mask her anxiety.

His jaw relaxed a bit. “You’re early.”

“You are too,” she pointed out.

He raised an eyebrow. “Am I not allowed?”

Heat rushed to her cheeks. “That’s not what I meant.”

“Good.” His tone softened. “Feeling nervous?”

“…a little,” she admitted.

He stepped closer, lowering his voice so only she could hear. “You’re capable of more than you realize.

  • THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS    CHAPTER 36- THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS SOMETHING GREAT

    Jane woke up earlier than she intended. Her alarm hadn’t gone off yet, but her eyes were already open, and her heart raced with a mix of nerves, excitement, and a touch of fear, emotions swirling together like paint colors she hadn’t quite learned to untangle. Sitting on her bed for a moment, she placed her fingers gently against her chest. Training with Mira. It felt surreal. The events of the previous day had been overwhelming, Mira tweaking one of her sketches, then sending it off to Williams without warning, and the way he had looked at her afterward, as if she’d caught him off guard. Like he noticed something in her that she couldn't quite see in herself. Her cheeks flushed at the thought. She shook off her daydream and got dressed, a simple blouse, minimal makeup, and her hair neatly tied back. She aimed for an effortless look, not wanting to appear as if she were trying too hard while still wanting to feel that she belonged. As she entered the office, she held h

  • THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS    CHAPTER 34- THE INVITATION

    Jane's POV Jane had anticipated a typical day. After everything she’d been through,the panic attacks, the hospital visit, breaking down in Williams’ arms,she longed for some peace. Just one day where she didn't have to struggle to breathe. So, she arrived at the office early, meticulously sorting through the files on her desk, keeping her head down as she tried to ease back into a routine that felt… comforting. But it seemed the universe had other plans for her. As soon as she finished arranging a stack of folders, the elevator pinged, and Mira stepped onto the floor,confident, fashionable, and radiating the vibrant energy of the creative department. Jane blinked in surprise. She found herself liking Mira much more than she anticipated. Their brief encounter the previous week had been pleasant and relaxed,Mira had dropped off some documents for Williams, praised Jane's neat handwriting, and casually invited her to "swing by the creative department anytime you’re feeling b

  • THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS    CHAPTER 33- WHISPERED EYES

    Jane's POV Returning to work felt oddly disconcerting, it was like stepping back into a familiar space that no longer felt like mine. Perhaps it was the exhaustion weighing me down, or the lingering ache in my chest from crying until my vision blurred. Or maybe it was simply the shift in everything after last night. After… him. The elevator dinged softly as it reached the executive floor, sending my heartbeat into a panicked rhythm. I wasn’t prepared for whispered conversations or prying gazes. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure I remembered how to navigate public breathing. But I stepped out anyway. And of course, they were already watching. Two assistants by the printer halted their chatter as they spotted me. A group at the far table exchanged furtive looks, and I caught the faint sound of my name followed by a pretend cough. I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear and gripped my bag a bit too tightly. They were undoubtedly curious about why the CEO continued to ke

  • THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS    CHAPTER 32- HOPE

    Jane's POV Jane stirred awake to a gentle kind of silence, one that felt like a comforting blanket. No beeping machines, no hurried footsteps, and no heavy breathing next to her, just pure, soothing quiet. It took a moment for her to realize that she wasn’t back in her apartment, far from the chaos that had engulfed her life. Instead, she found herself in Williams’ guest room, wrapped snugly in a duvet that had the delicate scent of clean cotton mixed with something warm, perhaps him. As her eyes adjusted, she noticed the sunlight streaming through the blinds, casting soft golden lines on the wall. She blinked, her mind still hazy from the whirlwind of emotions the night before: the panic attack, the rushing tears, and Williams carrying her out of the hospital as if she were weightless. His voice echoed in her mind, reassuring her, “You’re safe. I’ve got you.” She swallowed hard, her chest constricting at the memory, though it wasn’t fear that tightened her heart. It was some

  • THE MISTAKEN MISTRESS    CHAPTER 31- VULNERABLE MOMENT

    Jane's POV The drive from the hospital was enveloped in silence, an unsettling kind of quiet. It wasn’t the soothing kind; it felt instead like a weight settling heavily on my shoulders. I stared out the window, watching the city lights blur past, the world racing ahead while I felt trapped, unable to keep pace. My hands shook uncontrollably. I kept them nestled on my lap, hoping Williams wouldn’t notice, but of course, he did. He always does. He stayed silent, maybe unsure of what to say, or perhaps he feared that any words he offered would crack me open. Honestly, I was torn between the two possibilities. By the time we arrived at his home, my chest had tightened, and my breathing had turned shaky. He parked the car, stepped out, and opened the door for me with such gentleness that it felt as if I were made of glass. I loathed feeling so delicate. I hated that today exposed my vulnerability, revealing that I wasn’t as strong as I pretended to be. Once inside, the so
