The Billionaire Who Bully Me First

She never expected to walk into the towering headquarters of Velmore Holdings — and come face-to-face with the boy who made her high school years a living nightmare. Audrey Lorraine Aquino worked hard to build a quiet, independent life, leaving behind the humiliation and heartbreak of her teenage years. But when financial desperation forces her to take a secretary position at the city’s most powerful empire, she finds herself reporting directly to Simon Rafael Velmore — the cold, ruthless CEO, and the very same boy who once made her feel small. The son of the billionaire elite, Simon had everything — wealth, power, and a cruel streak that targeted her above everyone else. Years have passed, but the tension between them is thicker than ever. Simon is no longer just a schoolyard bully — he’s a man who controls empires, with a gaze that still unsettles her and a temper that terrifies everyone around him. Yet beneath his sharp suit and icy demeanor, Audrey begins to see something she never expected: a man haunted by his past, and a heart that has beaten for her since the very beginning. He bullied her to hide how much he cared. She stayed away to protect herself. Now, trapped in the same office, forced to work side by side, the walls they built around their hearts begin to crumble. But when old secrets, family pressure, and dangerous rivals threaten to tear them apart — can Simon redeem himself and win the forgiveness he never deserved? Or will the pain of their past destroy the love that was always meant to be theirs? He was my bully first. Now he’s my boss — and the only one who can save me.
