Doman’s POV

The door slammed behind me harder than I intended. I stopped just outside Dami’s office, chest heaving, her words replaying in my head like a slow-motion echo.

She wanted me to forgive Axel. Forgive the man who ruined my life, who made me rot behind bars for something I didn’t do.

I dragged a hand through my hair, trying to steady my breath. The afternoon sun filtered through the glass walls of the hallway, but all I felt was choking heat.

It wasn’t even Dami I was angry at. It was the fact that she, of all people, was asking me to let go of the only thing that kept me alive through those years.

After a moment, I exhaled sharply and turned back. I couldn’t leave things like that.

When I re-entered her office, Dami was by the window, her back turned to me.

“I’m sorry,” I said quietly.

She turned, her eyes. “You don’t need to apologize.”

“I do,” I insisted, walking closer. “I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that. I just..” I paused, searching for words. “I hate that you th

  • THE TURNAROUND CEO   With you

    DOMAN’S POVThe conference room smelled like expensive cologne, polished wood and quiet tension. I leaned back in my chair, jacket perfectly buttoned, sleeves crisp, expression neutral enough to pass as respectful. My latest project pitch had just wrapped up, and from the satisfied nods and murmured approval around the table, I knew I had them exactly where I wanted them.Mr. Keller, the oldest among them cleared his throat. “Before we close, there’s one more matter.” He exchanged a glance with his partner. “We’re considering a collaboration to expand the brand’s reach. A joint promotion with Dami, the rising company.”Every muscle under my suit went still but my face didn’t move. "Why her?” The question came out smooth. Just curious and polite. Mr. Dalton smiled like he was presenting a gift. “She grew fast. Clean branding, big public trust, strong female leadership. Audience engagement is high. If we attach our new product launch to her campaigns, it doubles our hype.”I smiled to

  • THE TURNAROUND CEO   Fucked

    Axel’s POVThe house was quiet that noon, too quiet for comfort. I was in the kitchen, leaning against the counter with a mug of lukewarm coffee in my hand. Alexa walked in, her hair tied in a messy bun, a faint smile tugging at her lips.“Hey,” she said softly, grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl. “How’re you feeling now?”I rubbed my eyes and sighed. “Better, I guess. I was just overthinking. My head’s been spinning lately.”She leaned against the counter beside me. “Let me guess,” she said, voice laced with mischief. “It’s because of Dami and Doman again, right?”A bitter chuckle escaped my throat. “You guessed right. It’s tiring, Lex. I can’t even breathe without thinking about how close they’ve gotten. Every damn thing feels like a reminder that I lost her.”Alexa nodded, chewing slowly, watching me with that mix of sympathy. “You need to hang in there, Axel. One way or another, things will fall into place.”I nodded. She turned away and started toward the doorway. “Anyway, I’m

    Sophia’s POVThe phone wouldn’t stop ringing. “Good morning,” I said for the fifth time that hour, trying to sound polite even though every muscle in my body screamed with irritation. “Yes.. the CEO is currently in a meeting. I’ll pass the message.”I dropped the receiver and leaned back in my chair, staring at the polished reception desk in front of me. My new position. The front desk.I hated it. The chair squeaked when I shifted, as if mocking me. Through the glass, I watched as sharply dressed investors streamed into the boardroom one after another, their expensive suits glinting beneath the light. Laughter, firm handshakes, the confident tap of heels all of it reminded me that I wasn’t part of that world anymore. I was stuck here, reduced to taking calls and answering pointless questions.The only sound in the reception now came from the ticking clock on the wall and the muffled voices echoing down the corridor. Even the two security guards outside looked busier than me.Frustra

  • THE TURNAROUND CEO   Another contract

    Dami’s POVI stared at Sophia, barely holding on to my patience. “Sophia, I’m tired,” I said flatly, dragging my words as I unzipped my jacket. “Whatever this is, it can wait till morning.”“It can’t,” she snapped, her voice trembling with anger. “I can’t believe you would demote me again, Dami. After everything I’ve done to prove that I’m not the enemy after trying to make things right, you still did this?”Her words stung, but I didn’t let it show. “I almost lost a major contract, Sophia,” I said evenly, sitting on the edge of my bed. “And I still don’t know who sabotaged it. You’re the first person everyone suspects. So forgive me if I’m trying to protect everything I’ve worked for.”Her eyes darkened, lips trembling. “You think really think I did it? After everything?”“I think people do desperate things when they feel cornered,” I replied quietly. “And until I know what’s really going on, I can’t take chances. All the money Lycan left me went into buying this company. Every late

  • THE TURNAROUND CEO   Together II

    DAMI’S POVThe room felt like a dream I didn’t want to wake from, the faint hum of music in the background, and Doman’s gaze fixed on me like I was the only thing that existed.He leaned closer again. When his lips touched mine, my mind went completely blank. All the noise, the tension, the questions was dissolved. His kiss wasn’t gentle this time, it was hungry and slow at the same time, the kind that pulled every breath right out of me. My fingers found the back of his neck, tracing the lines of his skin, feeling the strength beneath. It wasn’t our first time, but it felt new like we had never done this before. He kissed me deeper, one hand cupping my jaw, the other sliding down my arm. My heart fluttered and then raced, each beat louder than the next. Every place he touched burned and softened in the same moment, and I didn’t want him to stop.I let him guide me, my body remembering what my mind tried to forget. I didn’t want to think. I just wanted to feel his warmth, his breath

  • THE TURNAROUND CEO   Togethet I

    Dami’s POVThe afternoon sun spilled lazily through the blinds as I signed the last document on my desk. My mind wasn’t here, not really. I had been distracted since morning, unable to shake the dull ache in my chest or the exhaustion that came with pretending to be fine. Rhea stood beside my chair, sorting files into neat piles, her sharp eyes flicking toward me every few minutes like she was measuring my mood.“Are you leaving already?” she asked as I grabbed my bag. “It’s not even two yet.”I smiled faintly. “I’m tired, Rhea. I just want to breathe a little, have some fun. Work can survive a few hours without me.”She frowned, clearly unconvinced. “You’ve been distracted all day, Dami. I think you should rest, not go out.”“Rest, fun are the same thing,” I said, slinging the bag over my shoulder. “Don’t worry so much.”Her lips pressed together, but she didn’t argue. The date I had planned with Do man was important as well. Maybe being with Doman would quiet the noise or at least
