~Nella~

It was obvious they both knew each other—and their roles in my life. But what was missing was that Gray still refused to accept he was now an ex, and Roy had no idea that Gray was an ex.

“What is he doing here?” Gray asked.

“You need to leave, Gray,” Mom said calmly.

“I’m asking Nella—what the hell is your boss doing at your place?” he snapped.

“Oh, please… come off it, Gray. That’s none of your business. So leave,” I fired back.

“I promise you, I’ll be back. And when I do, I expect a proper explanation for this,” Gray said as he walked out.

I immediately turned to Roy, who was holding a box in his hand.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice sharp.

“Calm down, Nella. He’s your boss,” Mom said gently.

“Mom, please…” I muttered as I walked up to Roy. We stepped outside together.

“What do you want?” I asked again, folding my arms.

“You know, you still look gorgeous—even when you’re upset,” he said softly.

“Roy, what do you want?” I asked again, clearly irritated. This was

  • The Billionaire’s Broken Secretary    CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT

    ~Nella~The silence was suffocating.Ashley didn’t speak. She didn’t blink. She just stood there—frozen in the doorway, her eyes wide, glassy with disbelief. Her face had gone pale, like she was staring at something that shattered her inside.I opened my mouth, desperate to say something—anything—but the words tangled in my throat.Ethan slowly pulled away from me, the realisation of what just happened flooding his face with guilt.“Ashley…” I finally managed, my voice cracking. It sounded like a whisper strangled by panic.But it was already too late.She had turned around and was walking away—fast.I ran after her, my heart pounding like a war drum, my chest tightening with every breath. Ethan followed closely behind. We reached the middle of the living room when I caught up to her, grabbing her hand with trembling fingers.“Ashley, wait—please…” I gasped, breathless. “I can explain—”“Get your hands off me!” she snapped, her voice sharp enough to slice me open. She yanked her hand

    ~Nella~“What are you doing here?” I asked, still rooted to the spot as he stood on the stairs, shadowed by the porch light. Gray didn’t answer. He simply rose to his feet and took a slow, deliberate step toward me.“What the hell are you doing?” I snapped, my voice trembling, sharper than I intended.“Nella, please…” he whispered, his eyes pleading—but that was when I saw it.The knife.A small kitchen knife, gripped tightly in his hand.My breath caught in my throat. “Stay away from me, Gray,” I said, this time louder—sharper. A warning. A plea.“I can’t,” he murmured. “Babe, please just—”“Don’t!” I shouted, taking a step back. “I swear, if you come any closer, I’ll scream.”He froze for a second, his eyes flickering with desperation.“Babe—”“Leave!” My voice cracked as it climbed in volume, teetering on the edge of panic.Just then, the front door swung open and Lauren stepped out, holding a small tray.“Hey, Nella, you’re back and—”“Step back, Lauren,” I cut in sharply, never t

    ~Nella~I was finally dressed, and my makeup was as subtle as I’d hoped—but the result was magical. I looked like an angel. Soft, golden tones kissed my skin, and for the first time, I truly understood the hype about professional makeup. It wasn’t just about colour—it was artistry, and it made me feel like I’d just stepped out of a dream.My reflection in the full-length mirror stole my breath. The gold dress hugged my figure like it was sewn onto my skin, and the sparkle of the custom-crafted jewelry glinted under the soft bedroom lights. My heels added a final touch of power and grace. Tonight, I was everything I’d ever imagined a woman like me could be—confident, elegant, untouchable.A message popped up: Your ride is here to pick you up whenever you’re ready.When I walked down to the living room, mom and Payson gasped—and then screamed.“I need to take a video. You look… like a goddess!” Payson gushed, already lifting her phone to capture the moment.She filmed me from head to to

    ~Nella~“What are you doing here, Nella?” Gray asked, his voice laced with shock.Was that even a real question? Wow.I turned around immediately, ready to walk away, to run if I had to. But before I could step out of the apartment, a familiar voice stopped me cold.“Nella, wait! Please!”Ashley’s mum. The last person I wanted to see. Not because I was angry—but because I was utterly disappointed. I didn’t even know how to look her in the eye. I felt too ashamed—for her, for myself, for everything.Still, I turned slowly.“I’m so sorry,” she began, voice trembling. “I—I don’t even know what to say. I know this is humiliating and… Please, Ashley must never find out about this.”She was wrapped in nothing but a blanket. Gray stood behind her, half-naked, a pair of shorts hanging low on his hips. It was more than awkward. It was degrading.“It’s fine,” I said quickly. “I promise I won’t tell her. But I really need to leave now.”“Nella, please. Forgive me. I swear on my daughter’s life,

    ~Nella~“Hey,” he said the moment he walked in.I could feel Victoria’s gaze flick between Roy and me.“Uhm, sorry—” she stood up abruptly, grabbing her phone. “I need to pick something up. I’ll be right back, okay? Just hold on for me.”Before I could respond, she slipped out, leaving the door slightly ajar.My palms grew clammy. My heart was doing that annoying thing where it beat too fast for no good reason—or maybe the reason had just walked in.“Hey, Nella,” Roy said again, still standing.“Good after—noon, sir,” I stammered, my voice cracking at the end.“Thanks for the food,” he said, a soft smile tugging at his lips. “It tasted really great.”I had sent him lunch earlier because I’d been too confused to decide on a proper gift. That had felt like the safest gesture.“You okay?” he asked, stepping a little closer.“Yeah, I’m good,” I said, shifting slightly away from him. “Why are you asking though?” I added, trying to sound casual but failing miserably.He paused, his eyes nar

    ~Nella~The happiness we shared around that dinner table last night felt like something out of a dream — a fragile, glistening moment I never wanted to end. For the first time in months, I felt weightless. Like life was finally giving me a breather.After Payson broke the news — that Mom didn’t have cancer — we cried, laughed, toasted, and danced barefoot in the kitchen until midnight. I hadn’t seen Mom glow like that in ages. The air felt lighter in our home, as though hope had swept through every corner and cleaned out the fear.Later that night, I FaceTimed Ashley. Her scream nearly pierced my eardrums when I told her. She practically shook her phone with joy. I knew if she hadn’t had that international conference in India, she’d have shown up at our doorstep the next morning with balloons, cake, and her entire skincare fridge in tow.After ending the call with her — and another with Ethan, who had been worried too — I laid back on my bed, staring at the ceiling, a smile still tugg

    ~Nella~My life couldn’t be less of a drama. Honestly, it seemed like every corner I turned, something new was waiting to topple me over. And just when I thought I had enough on my plate, Maya had to serve me another helping.The afternoon sun was dipping lazily when my phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number. Curious, I picked it up, not expecting anything earth-shattering.“Hello, good afternoon. ORM Hospital calling. Kelly speaking. Am I speaking with Miss Nella?” a calm, polite voice floated through the line.“Yes, this is Nella,” I replied, sitting up straighter instinctively.“We have a private healthcare card registered under your name by Mr. Roy Logan,” Kelly explained smoothly. “You can schedule an appointment for your mother anytime. We do advise you come early, so we can carry out some preliminary checks.”I blinked in confusion. Roy? What was he doing?“I’m so sorry, ma’am, but my mother has already been registered at another hospital. We won’t be needing the se

    ~Nella~He slid into bed beside me, his hand wrapping around my waist like it was still his right.I stiffened, swallowing the urge to push him off. I tried to breathe through it, to pretend I was asleep — but the thought of him touching Ashley’s mom the same way made my skin crawl.Gently, I shifted, easing his hand off me in a sleepy gesture. Maybe if I was careful, he wouldn’t notice.But of course, he did.“Come on, Nella,” Gray said, his voice low and impatient. “Drop the act already. We need to talk.”I stayed still, refusing to react.I didn’t move.Didn’t breathe.He sighed sharply. “When are you going to get over this shit? I did everything for you. I’m doing this for us, Nella. And you’re just being… ungrateful. Dramatic. Over something other girls would kill for.And you’re acting like I’m the villain.”I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I flung the covers off and sat up, the anger burning too hot to ignore.“For us?” I hissed. “No, Gray. You’re doing this for your fucking selfi
