As I walked out of my office, I noticed the staff scurrying around the corridors, the tension in the air unmistakable. With only a few hours left before the board meeting and key investors arriving, the entire department looked like it was walking on a tightrope.

But that didn’t mean mistakes would be tolerated.

“Why are those documents still not arranged in the boardroom?” I snapped at one intern standing frozen near the printer. He flinched and quickly started gathering the files. I didn’t wait for a response. “You were told yesterday to have everything ready. One mistake today and you can hand over your ID card on the way out.”

He nodded rapidly, too terrified to speak.

I turned toward the operations team. “Call facilities and make sure the refreshments are set up exactly ten minutes before the board members arrive. I don’t want them walking into a room that smells like burnt coffee or unprepared nonsense. Got it?”

“Y-Yes, sir!” one of the junior staff said, tripping over her words

  • 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

  • The Billionaire’s Untamed Possession   Evelyn's POV

    I stared at my phone, my friend's words echoing in my mind: "Office computers rarely get infected with this virus automatically."A chill ran down my spine. If it's not automatic, then someone must have tampered with my computer. But who would do such a thing? The first name that came to mind was Jessica. Her hostility towards me was no secret. She had always been cold, her words laced with sarcasm, her smiles never reaching her eyes.But suspicion wasn't proof.I needed to fix the file by tomorrow, but more importantly, I needed to find evidence. Without it, any accusation would backfire.Back at the office, whispers filled the air. Colleagues huddled in corners, their eyes darting towards me before quickly looking away."I heard she lost all her designs.""Maybe she was never that talented to begin with.""Jessica warned us about her."Each word was a dagger, but I held my head high, refusing to let them see me break.In the boardroom, tensions were rising. Investors and board membe

  • The Billionaire’s Untamed Possession   Fl's POV

    My heart stopped as I stared at the blank screen.No sketches. No slides. No files.Nothing.My design drawings… everything I had stayed up all night working on was gone.For a few seconds, I just stood there, frozen. My fingers hovered over the mouse, but I couldn’t move. The room felt too quiet. Too heavy.Then came the whispers.“She wasn’t ready.”“Didn’t Jessica say she only got here through luck?”“Maybe she fooled Sean with her looks, not her talent.”Their words weren’t loud, but I heard every single one.Each one is like a tiny needle stabbing into my chest.Panic rose in my throat. My palms felt cold and sweaty at the same time. I turned my eyes toward Sean, hoping desperately that he would help me, give me a second to explain, to recover, to breathe.But Sean’s brows were furrowed tightly. He looked serious no, worse he looked disappointed.My stomach dropped.“I…” I tried to speak. My voice cracked. “I swear I finished everything. The files were there last night. I saved t

  • The Billionaire’s Untamed Possession   ML POV

    After ending the call with Ethan, I felt a strange mix of emotions, relief, confusion, and guilt. I leaned back in my chair, letting the silence of the room settle around me. The lights outside the window flickered as the city carried on with its own rhythm, but my world had slowed down.The news Ethan gave me was good. Very good.The fact that no money had been exchanged between my grandfather and the worker meant one thing: there was no bribe. No deal. No hidden payment. That accusation was built on nothing but air. It felt like a small victory after weeks of stress and uncertainty, but I knew better than to celebrate too soon.Nick.He was the one who started all this mess. Now that the police were questioning him more seriously, I had a feeling things were going to crack. Maybe not today. But soon.Still, the biggest question remained..”why?”Why would Nick falsely accuse my grandfather? What did he gain? Was he trying to cover something up? Or did someone else put him up to it?I

  • The Billionaire’s Untamed Possession   Sean's POV

    I wasn’t sure what I should feel. Maybe I should be relieved. Evelyn said her father’s death was just an accident. And I believe her. She didn’t lie. Her eyes, her voice, everything felt real. That means she had nothing to do with the case. She is innocent. I can trust her.But then again, I felt empty.If even Evelyn, the victim’s daughter, knows nothing, then where are the answers? Where do I go next? I’ve been searching for clues to prove Grandpa's innocence. I thought maybe she would have some piece of the puzzle. But now it seems like all the clues have disappeared.I sat in silence for a while, staring at the dark city outside my office window. The lights below looked like little stars, but they couldn’t brighten the heavy feeling inside me.I picked up my phone and called Ethan.He answered after a few rings. “Sean?”“I spoke to Evelyn,” I said quietly. “She said her father died in an accident on a construction site. No cameras. No witnesses. Nothing strange. Just... an acciden

  • The Billionaire’s Untamed Possession   Evelyn's POV

    I stared down at my coffee, tracing the rim of the cup with my finger. The warmth had faded, but the bitterness still lingered on my tongue. Maybe that’s why my chest felt so heavy.“My father died when I was four,” I said softly, almost as if I was speaking to myself. “He fell from a building. It was an accident.”Sean, who had been sitting quietly across from me, suddenly looked up, startled. “Accident?” he repeated, his brows pulling together in concern.I nodded slowly. “Yes… It was a construction site. No cameras. No safety ropes. Just piles of building materials everywhere.” I paused, trying to keep my voice steady. “Maybe he tripped, or maybe he didn’t realize he was near the edge. We never really got answers. Just... silence.”Sean leaned back slightly, his face solemn. “I’m really sorry to hear that, Evelyn.”I gave a small, tired smile, even though my throat was tight. “We got a lot of compensation from the company, but it didn’t change anything. Money can’t bring someone ba
