The engine roared, tires screaming as I swerved across two lanes and slammed on the brakes right in front of her.

Sienna jumped back, her face draining of color the moment she recognized the car. The door flew open, and I stepped out, my breath coming in jagged, uneven stabs.

"Archer? What the hell are you doing here?" she stammered, her voice thin and reeking of guilt.

I didn't answer. I didn't have words, only the pounding of my blood.

I lunged forward, grabbing

  • The Boss Who Saved Me From My Stalker Ex   Chapter 32: Sharp Tongues and Silk Smiles

    POV: Evelyn ReeveThe Florida sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Meridian Miami building, cutting sharp, geometric shapes across my desk. It had been two days since that lunch in South Beach, but the hum of the office felt different today—heavier, faster.I stared at the glowing monitor, my eyes blurring slightly against the rows of Excel formulas. Around me, the open-plan office was a symphony of staccato keystrokes and the low murmur of professional ambition.Maya Brooks practically jogged toward me, a thick stack of thermal-printed reports clutched to her chest. She dropped them onto my desk with a dull thud."Here’s the Q2 expenditure data, Evie," Maya said, wiping a bead of sweat from her temple. "Finance is breathing down our necks. They want the reconciled figures on their desks before noon."I pulled the papers toward me, flipping through the pages. My mind immediately went to the feedback I’d received earlier.

I didn't have words, only the pounding of my blood.I lunged forward, grabbing her wrist. My fingers dug into her skin, a bruised grip that didn't care about being gentle."Get in. Now," I snarled."Archer, stop! You're hurting me!" she hissed, glancing frantically at the suits and tourists walking past us. "I have to get back to the office! My break is over!"I ignored her. I ignored the stares of the New York crowd—they never stayed to help anyway. I dragged her toward the passenger side, my pulse a hammer against my temples.I threw the door

    POV: Evelyn ReeveThe waiter arrived a moment later, carrying a tray that sent a cloud of steam into the humid Miami air.The rich, savory aroma of Jovan’s order drifted across the table, momentarily grounding me in the present.As the plates were set down, Maya and Stella stood up. They didn't even bother sitting back down; they just reached for their bags with identical, triumphant grins."Jovan, we’re heading back to the office first," Stella said, her voice strained as she fought back a laugh that was clearly threatening to erupt.Jovan looked up, offering a faint, polite nod."Sure thing. Drive safe, guys," he replied, his voice maintaining that calm, baritone steady-state that always seemed to fill the space around him.Seeing them prepare to leave, I reflexively started to push my chair back. The thought of being left alone with Jovan in this charged silence made my skin prickle with a sudden, sharp anxiety."Lunch is on

  • The Boss Who Saved Me From My Stalker Ex   Chapter 29: The Sweet Setup

    POV: Evelyn ReeveThe white porcelain plates, once loaded with Miami’s finest fusion cuisine, had been whisked away by the server. My table felt strangely vast now, occupied only by three glasses of fruit juice that glowed like neon signs against the dark wood.I leaned back, pressing the cold condensation of my orange juice against my palm. It was a rare moment of peace. I pulled my phone from my bag, my thumb aimlessly scrolling through Instagram, letting the salt-tinged breeze of South Beach wash over me.Everything about this bistro was perfect. The rhythm of the city felt distant here.Then, the air changed.Maya, sitting directly across from me, suddenly stiffened. Her eyes widened, sparkling with a brand of mischief I’d learned to fear in the short time I’d known her.She nudged Stella’s arm hard enough to make the other girl lurch. Stella, who had been busy adjusting her glasses, nearly lost them. Maya didn't

    POV: EvelynThe Miami sun was relentless, bouncing off the polished chrome of the Uber as we pulled up to the curb. It wasn't just heat; it was a physical weight, the kind that made your clothes cling to your skin the second you stepped out of the AC.I looked up at the Glass Bistro. It was a stunning piece of architecture—all floor-to-ceiling windows and tropical greenery spilling over white stone walls. It looked expensive. It looked like the kind of place where people made deals over three-digit lunches.I hesitated, clutching the strap of my laptop bag a little tighter. "Maya, are you sure about this? This doesn't exactly look like a quick deli run."Maya laughed, already halfway to the entrance. "Evelyn, honey, we’ve been staring at the same four walls for a week. If I don't see something other than a spreadsheet and a water cooler, my brain is going to liquefy."Stella, always the calm anchor to Maya’s chaos, walked beside me. She caught my e

  • The Boss Who Saved Me From My Stalker Ex   Chapter 27: Unspoken Concerns

    POV: Evelyn ReeveMiami was finally starting to feel real. The morning sun, slicing through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Meridian Miami Building, no longer felt like a hostile glare. I’d even memorized the drive from Shae’s place—the specific rhythm of the Atlantic coast breeze and the way the palm trees blurred against the glass.One week.It had gone by in a blur of spreadsheets and high-speed corporate jargon. I’d settled into my role as Jovan’s Executive Assistant with a desperate kind of focus, letting the data entry drown out the noise in my head.I was fast. My fingers flew over the mechanical keyboard, a rhythmic clicking that felt like the only thing keeping me anchored.Maya was the catalyst for that. She was a whirlwind of energy, always leaning over my shoulder with "pro-tips" on how to bypass the company’s ancient filing software. She made the transition feel like a game rather than a survival tactic.Then there was Stell
