Tangled In Bed With My Boss CHAPTER FORTY
After searching the entire room and finding nothing else, I gathered the receipts, loan agreements, and the letter. Then I walked to the fireplace.For a long moment, I simply stared at them.Years.Years of my life were buried in those papers.The lies.The resentment.The guilt.I struck a match.The tiny flame trembled in my hand before I lowered it to the edge of the letter.The paper caught almost immediately.I watched the fire crawl across the page, devouring every word, turning the ink black before reducing it to ash. One by one, I fed the other documents to the flames.A strange feeling settled over me.Not peace.Nothing close to it.But it felt as though a heavy log that had been pressing against my chest had shifted slightly.I could breathe.Just a little.Footsteps echoed behind me.I turned.Abbie stood in the doorway, her hair sticking out in different directions and her eyes still heavy with sleep. She blinked at me, then at the dying fire."Big sis?" she asked softly
Tangled In Bed With My Boss CHAPTER THIRTY NINE
The following morning, I woke up early. If anything was going to work out, I had to stop acting like this house was a cage and start treating it like a problem that needed solving. Sitting around and panicking wasn't going to bring Dad back or magically pay his debt. Someone had to figure things out. And unfortunately, that someone was me. Ever since I returned and Abbie told me about the loan sharks taking Dad away, my mind refused to settle. He had messed up. There was no point pretending otherwise. He had gambled away money I spent years earning, lied to us, and somehow managed to drag our family into another disaster. Yet, at the end of the day, he was still our father. As I stood in the kitchen making breakfast, I found myself wondering if I should go see him. Just once. To make sure he was alright. Loan sharks were brutal people. I had heard stories growing up. Men returning home with missing teeth. Shop owners waking up to smashed windows because they were late on payme
Tangled In Bed With My Boss CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT
After I stepped past the factory gate, I took a deep breath and forced myself to look calm.Bosses didn't like desperation.After that long shower and the food Abbie made, I was sure I looked a lot better than I had yesterday. At the very least, I no longer resembled someone whose entire life had collapsed in the span of a week.I walked up to the reception desk and found a young girl in a bright red uniform. She was blowing gum loudly while scrolling through her phone.She didn't even glance at me.I cleared my throat.She looked up sharply, her eyes running over me from head to toe for a few seconds before she slowly put her phone down."How may I help you?""I'm looking for your boss," I said casually.I tried to sound effortless about it. Like people walked into factories looking for owners every day.Her brows pulled together.She pushed her chair back slightly and tucked a braid behind her ear before sliding a large book toward me."Sign in."That wasn't difficult at all.I pick
Tangled In Bed With My Boss CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN
After I had managed to calm Abbie down, we began retracing her steps to search for the house deed.Deep down, I was scared.It wasn't possible that she had simply forgotten where she kept it. The document was too important. Too valuable. And judging from the state of her room, if it had been here, we should have found it by now.I kept those thoughts to myself.There was no need to make her panic even more.We started with the clothes scattered across the floor. We picked them up one after another, shaking them carefully, even though we both knew there was no way a house deed could somehow be trapped between a pair of jeans and an old sweater.Still, we looked.We checked inside empty bags, beneath the bed, between stacks of books, and inside drawers that held nothing except old notebooks and dried pens.As the piles on the floor slowly disappeared, so did my hope.Abbie was growing more frantic by the second. Her hands shook whenever she reached for something. Her breathing became un
Tangled In Bed With My Boss CHAPTER THIRTY SIX
Abbie seemed to calm down after a while. My little sister had been carrying so much and bottling it all inside. This little girl had watched our father slowly become someone else entirely. The man who used to braid her hair badly and bring home candies had turned into someone who disappeared into gambling houses and returned with debts hanging over our heads.I took her hands in mine and looked at her properly.I wished I could promise her things would get better. That I wasn't going to leave again. That I would stay and somehow put our family back together.But deep down, I knew I was lying to myself.I would leave again.Maybe not today.Maybe not tomorrow.But soon.The moment my stomach started rounding and this pregnancy became noticeable, I would be gone.I didn't know where I would go or how I would survive, but I couldn't stay here carrying Mr. Lincoln's child while the entire town whispered behind my back.First, I needed to clear Dad's debt.Then I would figure out the rest.
Tangled In Bed With My Boss CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
The first thing I did after unpacking was take a long, hot shower.I scrubbed and scrubbed until my skin tingled, until the slight ache in my muscles made me feel somewhat human again. For a little while, the water washed away the exhaustion clinging to me.When I finally stepped out, I threw on a loose dress and sat at the small desk in my room.Coming home for comfort only to discover an even bigger disaster waiting for me hadn't been part of the plan.Nothing about this was.I pulled out a notebook and started writing.A plan.I needed a plan.Because if I allowed myself to think too deeply about everything Abbie had told me, I might completely lose my mind.My father had gambled away years of sacrifice.Years.I stared at the page and began listing everything I needed to accomplish before anyone discovered I was pregnant. I needed money. A steady income. Somewhere safe to live. A future that didn't depend on anyone.Especially not Mr. Lincoln.The thought alone made my chest tight

I should have left before Ariel returned.The thought crossed my mind several times as I sat on the edge of the bed staring at the half-packed suitcase. All I had to do was stand up, walk out the door, and disappear before she came home. It should have been easy.Instead, I sat there frozen.The si
Tangled In Bed With My Boss CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
By the time I got home, my legs felt numb.I wasn't even sure how I had managed to walk all the way from Mr. Lincoln's house without breaking down completely. The conversation kept replaying in my head, each memory cutting deeper than the last.The baby was alive.The thought should have filled me
Tangled In Bed With My Boss CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
I thought the apology was for the baby.For the child I had spent weeks mourning.For the grief that had hollowed me out from the inside.But what he said next brought me to my knees.I almost lost my mind.Tears streamed down my cheeks so fast that they dripped onto my clothes.“Mr. Lincoln, this
Tangled In Bed With My Boss CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
Finding ways to annoy Mr. Lincoln until he finally fired me was quickly becoming my new passion, and honestly, I didn't think it would take very long before my plan worked.I pulled out the business card Knight had given me and started dialing the number right in front of him.If my instincts were
