Ethan clicked the save button and transferred the video to my phone. As the screen showed the progress bar, he leaned back in the chair and said, “Looks like Jessica has gotten smarter. She didn’t do it herself this time. She sent someone else to do the dirty work.”

His words made my heart sink a little. I stared at the video file on my phone, gripping it tightly like it was the only proof I had to survive. “Yeah,” I muttered softly. “She made sure her hands stayed clean. But at least now we know I didn’t mess up. It wasn’t my fault.”

Ethan looked at me for a second and then gently patted my shoulder. “Exactly. And you didn’t just prove your innocence, you fought back. That’s not easy, Evelyn. I’ve heard Sean talk about you more than once. He really admires how hard you work.”

I blinked, surprised. “He… talks about me?”

Ethan chuckled. “Yeah. A lot more than you think. He always says you’re talented, focused, and different from others.”

That brought a small smile to my face. After the

    Ethan rubbed his eyes and walked over with a lazy smile on his face. His tone was casual, but there was something sharp hidden underneath. “Jessica, your trick doesn’t work anymore. You think locking me up here is going to stop me? I’m not the man I was ten years ago.”I looked at Ethan in surprise. His words were full of meaning, like there was a whole history between them I had no idea about. I had guessed they knew each other, but now I realized there might have been something deeper… something painful.Jessica’s face changed instantly. Her fake surprise turned to anger. “Why do you always blame me?” she snapped. “It’s been years since we last met, and you’re still the same bitter and rude.” She crossed her arms, trying to stay calm, but her voice was shaking. “You have no proof I did anything.”Ethan took a step forward, his smile disappearing. “I don’t need proof to know your habits haven’t changed. You still play dirty when you want something.”Before Jessica could respond, Sean

  • The Billionaire’s Untamed Possession   Locked up

    Ethan and I looked at each other, both a little stunned by what just happened. For a second, neither of us moved. Then, Ethan walked over to the door and grabbed the handle tightly. He pulled hard, trying to force it open, but it didn’t budge.“It’s locked from outside,” he said, frowning. “And this door… It's solid. Not cheap stuff.”I nodded, already feeling a small wave of panic rise in my chest. I quickly pulled out my phone and tried to call the security guard, but the screen showed *No Signal*. I walked around the room, holding my phone high near the ceiling, near the door, even near the small CCTV monitor. Still nothing.“No signal here either,” I muttered, frustrated. “This is so strange.”Ethan looked around the room and said, “Maybe there’s a spare key hidden somewhere? Or something we can use to open the door?”We both started searching. He opened drawers and checked behind the shelves. I checked under the desk and even behind the curtain. But we found nothing. No tools. No

    I looked away from Ethan for a second, trying to hide the strange twist I felt in my chest. His words echoed in my mind ‘Sean is quite tolerant of Jessica’. I knew that. I’d seen it in the way he stayed silent when she mocked me in front of others, how he never corrected her behavior, never called her out. Maybe it was guilt, maybe history. But whatever the reason, it still stung more than I wanted to admit.Ethan was already turning on the computer, clicking through the folders on the system. The faint hum of the old equipment filled the small room, and the monitors slowly lit up with blurry black-and-white footage from different parts of the office. I stood beside him, arms crossed tightly over my chest, trying to focus but failing. My thoughts were still circling around Sean.“Do you think…” I began quietly, not even sure what I wanted to say. “Do you think Sean would protect her if he knew the truth?”Ethan didn’t answer right away. He was staring at the screen, dragging the timel

  • The Billionaire’s Untamed Possession   Evelyn's POV

    We walked side by side toward the monitoring room, the hallway quiet except for the sound of our footsteps. I held the small key tightly in my hand, the one the security guard had given me earlier after I explained the situation to him.“I already talked to the guard this morning,” I told Ethan softly. “He said we can go in whenever we want. He gave me this.” I showed him the key.Ethan looked at me and smiled slightly. “Good thinking. You’re more prepared than most people I know.”I gave a small, tired laugh. “I’m just desperate.”As we reached the door, I unlocked it and pushed it open. The room was small, filled with a couple of chairs, a dusty desk, and several monitors showing different parts of the office. The air inside was cold, and it smelled faintly of old electronics.Ethan sat down first and started checking the controls. “Okay, tell me what exactly happened. You think your computer was infected?”I nodded and sat beside him, nervous. “Yes. But it wasn’t just a normal viru

  • The Billionaire’s Untamed Possession   Evelyn’s POV

    The moment I opened my eyes, my heart was still racing. My clothes were damp with sweat, and my pillow had a small wet patch where I had cried in my sleep. I sat up slowly, clutching the blanket. My dream had felt so real that I could still hear the sound of my voice shaking during the presentation… I still feel Sean’s cold, distant gaze… still taste the bitterness of failure.But it was just a dream.A terrible, frightening dream.I looked at the clock. It was already past eight. My head was heavy, my throat dry, and my heart far from steady. I couldn’t go to the office like this not today. I wasn’t ready to face anyone, not after what I had just seen in my mind. Even though it wasn’t real, it felt like a warning. A sign.I picked up my phone with trembling hands and sent a short message to HR, informing them that I wasn’t feeling well and would be taking a sick day. I needed time. Time to think, to breathe, to plan.I curled back into the bed, staring at the ceiling. My thoughts wer
