Dami’s POV

For a moment, I thought Axel was dead. He wasn’t moving. His head lay at an awkward angle on the floor, blood trickling from a cut near his temple.

Everything around me blurred. Sophia’s shrill voice, Doman’s shocked expression, the pounding in my ears.

“Damn it, Doman!” I yelled, pushing him away from Axel’s limp body. “What the hell did you do?!”

He raised his hands like some helpless victim, blood still smeared across his face. “He attacked me first, Dami! I was only defending myself..”

“Shut up!” My voice cracked, trembling with something I refused to call fear. “You could’ve killed him!”

Sophia rushed to Doman’s side instead of Axel’s, her hands fluttering uselessly around his jaw. “Oh my God, your nose! It’s bleeding again. Sit down, please.”

I froze. The way she touched him was too soft and too familiar. Sophia was my assistant. The one person I trusted to stay loyal. So why was she suddenly acting like his personal nurse?

“I told you to help him!” I snapped, pointin

  • THE TURNAROUND CEO   Game on

    DOMAN’S POVSophia’s perfume lingered long after she left, a sweet, cloying scent that mixed poorly with the burn of whiskey on my breath. I leaned back on the couch, closing my eyes for a second. Peace was all I wanted. But she wasn’t peace. She was ambition dressed in soft skin and deceitful smiles.“You can’t stay the night,” I told her, voice firm and my patience already stretched thin.Her eyes had flashed with something close to defiance. “You’re sending me out now?”“Yes,” I said without hesitation. “Dami could come at any time, and the last thing I need is her finding you here.”She hesitated. “You think I care what she thinks?”“I think you care about survival,” I replied, opening the door. “And if you know what’s good for you, you’ll go home.”The way she glared at me before stepping out was almost enough to make me laugh. She wanted power, not love and that made her dangerous, even to me.When the door clicked shut, I exhaled and raked a hand through my hair. The silence t

  • THE TURNAROUND CEO   Sophia II

    Sophia’s POVMy hands wouldn’t stop shaking. Even after I slammed the car door behind me and left Dami’s house far behind, my heart still beat like i had run through a storm. Dami's words kept ringing in my head.I hadn’t even realized how much it hurt until I stepped out into the streetlight and the night breeze hit my skin. I didn’t have anywhere to go. Not to the hotel, I couldn’t stand another lonely room that smelled like air freshener and regret. And I couldn’t go back to her house, not after what just happened.The only place that made sense was his. It was Doman. By the time I reached his gate, my palms were sweaty. I didn’t even know what to say to him, only that I needed to see him.When he opened the door, he looked surprised. Half-dressed, towel slung over his shoulder, his expression unreadable.“Sophia?” he said slowly. “What are you doing here?”I swallowed, forcing the words out. “I had a fight with Dami. She accused me of things that aren’t even true.”His gaze harden

    Axel’s POVAlexa’s face came into focus above me, it was tear-streaked, pale, but smiling. “You’re awake,” she whispered, voice trembling as she pressed a cold cloth to my forehead.I managed a weak smile. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”“You almost were one,” she shot back, voice cracking. “I thought you’d died, Axel. You stopped breathing for a minute.”“Hey,” I reached for her hand, my throat dry. “Don’t cry. I’m fine now.”Her tears fell anyway, and I felt a pang of guilt not just for scaring her, but for everything. For Dami. For Doman. For how badly i had lost control.She sniffled and wiped her eyes. “You scared me. And honestly, I think Doman was ready to finish the job if Dami hadn’t stepped in.”I let out a bitter laugh that ended in a cough. “Wouldn’t surprise me.”Alexa frowned, folding her arms. “Why did you hit him? I thought we decided to keep everything on the low.”“He provoked me,” I muttered, trying to sit up. The pain in my chest flared. “And i got angry.”Her

  • THE TURNAROUND CEO   Confession

    Dami’s POVThe silence in the car was heavy, thick enough to choke me. Streetlights flashed across Doman’s face as I drove, each one cutting across his expression.When we finally stopped in front of his house, he unbuckled his seatbelt without saying a word. "You’re not coming home with me?” I asked quietly, turning slightly toward him.He shook his head, still staring out the window. “After what happened with Axel, I don’t think I want to stay in that kind of environment right now.”My hands tightened on the steering wheel. His tone wasn’t angry, just tired. "And what does that mean for us?” I asked, trying to sound calm, but the words came out smaller than I wanted.“Nothing,” he said simply, finally looking at me. “We’re still cool. I just need to clear my head, that’s all.”The way he said it was so detached and made something in my chest sink. I nodded, my throat dry. “I understand. I’m sorry, Doman. For everything. I didn’t mean to make things worse.”He exhaled slowly, leaning

  • THE TURNAROUND CEO   Truth

    Dami's POVSomething about Sophia had been off for days. It nagged at me like a loose tooth which was small at first, then constant until I couldn’t ignore it.Her smiles felt practiced. Her hands lingered in places that didn’t need touching. And when the fight happened today. She stepped toward Doman, helped him up and steadied him. I stared at my reflection in the dark glass of my office window. The city lights blinked like someone else’s life. On the surface I was calm but that was the facade i polished every morning.Inside, something kept twitching like a wound reopening. I reached for my phone and dialed my secretary without hesitation. “Ava, clear my schedule and postpone the investor calls to tomorrow. Start the process for a new assistant. I want CVs by Monday.”There was a pause. “Is everything okay, ma’am?”“Yes. Just take care of it.”After I hung up I felt a small, bitter relief. Sophia knocked and came in before I even finished setting the file down. She wore a tight sm

  • THE TURNAROUND CEO   Sophia

    Sophia’s POVThe moment our lips met, the room spun. For a second, I forgot who I was, where I was, or what I was doing. It wasn’t supposed to happen but i wanted it to.The taste of him was sharp with alcohol and anger, and something inside me burned with satisfaction. Doman froze. I could feel his breath against my cheek, warm and uneven. Then, slowly, he pulled back, eyes dark with confusion.“Sophia,” he said, voice low, almost warning. “What are you doing?”I forced a small smile, trying to hide the storm brewing inside me. “Something I’ve been wanting to do since the day I met you.”He looked at me like he was trying to see through the words. My pulse raced. I didn’t move. I wanted him to be the one to either close the gap or walk away.He just stared, jaw tightening. “You shouldn’t have done that.”“Why?” I asked softly. “Because of Dami?”He turned away, grabbing his glass of whiskey and downing what was left before answering. “She trusts you.”I laughed quietly, bitterly. “Tr
