last update publish date: 2026-08-28 23:06:56

FLORIAN’S POV

Gabriel arrived at the house early the next morning, his face tired like he hadn’t slept much either. I had barely slept myself cause my mind replaying Gabriel’s words from the night before over and over.

Adrian’s men were here, watching us.

“Show me the files,” Gabriel said the moment he stepped inside, not even bothering with a greeting first.

I led him to the small study, the folder already sitting on the desk where I had left it the night before. He sat down heavily, pulling t

  • Tempted by my Godlike boss   CHAPTER 93: The lawyer’s visit

    SINCLAIR’S POVThe knock on my study door came exactly at ten o’clock, just like we had arranged. I straightened myself up as best as I could, sitting up properly in my chair and tried to look stronger than I actually felt.“Come in,” I called out.The door opened, and Mr. Bennett walked in, his briefcase in hand, his suit sharp and neatly pressed as always. He had been my lawyer for over twenty years, one of the very few people I trusted completely with matters this important.“Sinclair,” he said, offering a small nod as he took the seat across from my desk. “How are you feeling today?”“As well as can be expected,” I said, forcing a small smile. “Let’s get straight to it, shall we? I don’t have much time to waste these days.”He nodded, and opened his briefcase, pulling out a thick stack of documents, placing them carefully on the desk between us.“I’ve drawn up everything as you requested,” he said. “The will is complete, covering the transfer of your company shares, the properties

  • Tempted by my Godlike boss   CHAPTER 92: Sinclair’s secret

    ROSELINE’S POVI decided to visit my father that afternoon, needing a small break from everything happening at home. With cameras being found outside our house and Adrian’s men lurking around, I felt like I needed a moment of peace, even if just for a little while.I drove to his estate and the familiar gates opening for me as they always did. I let myself in, calling out for him. “Dad?”“In here, sweetheart,” his voice came from the living room.I walked in and found him sitting in his favorite armchair, a blanket draped over his legs even though the weather outside wasn’t particularly cold. My steps slowed slightly as I looked at him properly.He looked thinner than the last time I saw him. His cheeks looked more sunken, his skin paler than usual, and there were dark circles under his eyes that hadn’t been there before, or maybe I just hadn’t noticed them properly until now.“Dad,” I said, unable to hide the concern in my voice as I moved closer, “Are you feeling okay?”“I’m fine,”

He sat down heavily, pulling the papers toward him while his eyes moved quickly over each page.“This is solid,” he said after a while, his voice low with something close to disbelief. “Bank records, photographs, a signed letter. Florian, this could actually bring him down.”“That’s what Mara said too,” I replied, sitting across from him. “But she also said it makes us bigger targets now.”Gabriel nodded slowly, still flipping through the pages. “She’s right. Adrian isn’t going to sit back and let this happen quietly. We nee

  • Tempted by my Godlike boss   CHAPTER 90: A call in the night

    FLORIAN'S POVThe drive back home felt longer than it actually was. My mind kept going back to everything Mara had said. The files sat quietly on the passenger seat beside me like a heavy secret I now had to carry.I pulled into the driveway a little after midnight, the house dark except for one light still on upstairs. My chest tightened a little when I saw it. I had hoped Roseline would already be asleep.I stepped inside quietly, trying not to make too much noise, but the moment I closed the door behind me, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs fast."Florian?"Roseline stood there in her night dress, her arms folded tightly across her chest. Her eyes were red like she had been crying, or maybe just staring at the door for too long, waiting."Where were you?" she asked, her voice shaky, somewhere between anger and relief."I had to go somewhere," I said carefully, setting the folder down on the small table by the door. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you.""Sorry?" she repeated, her

  • Tempted by my Godlike boss   CHAPTER 89: What the papers say

    FLORIAN'S POVI sat in the car a little longer, going through the files page by page, my eyes moving faster now. I was hungry for every little detail hidden inside those papers.The bank records were the clearest part. Large amounts of money, sent out from an account with Adrian's name on it, moved into smaller accounts, then split again into even smaller ones. Like someone trying hard to hide where the money was really going."These transfers," I said, pointing at one page, "they all happened close to the same time.""Yes," Mara said. "One week before the fire. He paid three different men that week. Small amounts at first, then one big payment two days before it happened."I stared at the numbers, my jaw tightening. It was one thing to suspect something, to feel it deep in your gut for years. But it was another thing to see it laid out plainly like this, cold numbers proving what my heart had already known."He planned this so carefully," I muttered."Adrian doesn't do anything ca
