Chapter 41: Ghost of the Past (Part 1)

작가: Noxvane
last update 게시일: 2026-06-12 12:02:12

POV: Evelyn Reeve

The Meridian Miami building was already humming with its usual morning rhythm.

The low drone of the HVAC system fighting the Florida humidity, the rhythmic clack of heels on polished concrete, and the sharp hiss of the espresso machine in the breakroom—it was all so normal.

But for me, everything felt shifted. Slightly off-axis.

I stared at my monitor, the financial spreadsheet blurring into a mess of meaningless cells. My fingers hovered over the

  • The Boss Who Saved Me From My Stalker Ex   Chapter 91: The Final Curtain (Part 2)

    "What did she do?!" Chloe shrieked, her voice hitting a manic high. She pointed a trembling finger at me."She showed up and ruined everything! I’ve been here for two years, Jovan! Two years of being the best, of trying to get you to notice me! And you never even looked my way!"Her chest was heaving. The 'sweet' girl was gone. In her place was something ugly and raw."And then she walks in... some broken girl with New York baggage. And suddenly you're her white knight? You're driving her home, you're protecting her like she’s made of glass? It’s not fair! It was never supposed to be her!"I sat there, stunned. I couldn't believe it was this simple. This cliché."So that’s it?" I whispered. "You almost got me killed... because of a crush?""Shut up!" Chloe screamed. "You have no idea what it's like to be invisible!"SLAM!Damian’s palm hit the desk like a gunshot."That is enough, Chloe Hayes!" he barked.The auth

  • The Boss Who Saved Me From My Stalker Ex   Chapter 90: The Final Curtain (Part 1)

    POV: Evelyn ReeveThe air in the Meridian Miami building always felt a little too sterile, but today, inside Damian’s office, it was arctic.I sat there, my fingers digging into the leather armrests of the guest chair. My back was a rigid line of tension. Beside me, Jovan was a silent, looming presence. He didn’t say a word, but the heat radiating from him—a controlled, tectonic fury—was enough to make the glass walls vibrate.Then, the door opened.Chloe Hayes didn't just walk in; she strutted. Her heels clicked against the polished floor with a rhythmic, sickening confidence. She adjusted the lapel of her blazer, a sharp, practiced smile plastered on her face.She thought she was here for a promotion. Or a glowing quarterly review."You wanted to see me, Damian?" Chloe chirped, her voice hitting that pitch-perfect level of corporate sweetness. "I hope this is about the Q3 marketing strategy. I’ve been—"The words died in her throat.

    I straightened my spine. Every ounce of fury I’d suppressed for the sake of professionalism finally had a target."With pleasure."The office was quiet as I stood before Chloe’s empty desk. Most people were still out or buried in their own screens. My heart was thumping against my ribs, but my hands were steady as a surgeon's.The monitor flickered to life. Hendrick had already bypassed the password.I didn't waste time on the document folders; Chloe was too calculated for that. I went straight for the root directories, looking for hidden partitions or system folders that a casual user would ignore."Come on, Chloe... show me where you keep the venom," I hissed.Minutes ticked by. A bead of sweat rolled down my temple. 1:45 p.m. She could walk in at any second.I checked the browser. Empty. Cleared."Clean freak," I muttered.Then, I remembered Chloe’s one weakness: she was tech-illiterate when it came

    POV: EvelynThe Miami sun was a physical weight against the windshield as Jovan’s black sedan pulled into the Meridian Miami parking lot.1:30 p.m.Lunch with Shae, Kendrick, and Noelle had been more than just a celebration; it felt like the first real meal I’d had in weeks that didn’t taste like copper and anxiety. The color was finally returning to my cheeks.Stepping out of the car, I felt the salt-heavy breeze from the coast. Beside us, Damian Vale and the two corporate attorneys from the firm looked like a wall of reinforced steel.The heavy chains that had been dragging behind my heels for months—Archer’s shadow, the fear, the whispers—had finally snapped.Yet, my pace faltered as we reached the glass revolving doors of the lobby.The ghost of yesterday’s humiliation still lingered in the air. I could almost hear the echoes of the judgment that had been thrown at me.Jovan noticed. He didn’t say a word, but he shifted his

    I slowly pulled my hand away from Shae’s. I reached into my bag and pulled out a small, dark blue velvet box. It had been sitting at the very bottom of my suitcase, a heavy piece of history I hadn't been brave enough to touch until now.I stood up and walked toward the desk. Jovan’s entire body went rigid, but he let me move.I didn't look at Archer’s face. I just set the box on the table.Thud."This is yours, Archer," my voice was steady, flat, and devoid of any warmth. "I’m giving it back."Archer stared at the box as if it were a bomb. "No... Evie, don't. You can't give that back. That was our promise."He reached out, his fingers trembling as he tried to touch my hand. I stepped back instantly, the revulsion visible on my face. I looked him dead in the eye."There is no 'us', Archer. There hasn't been for a long time.""But I love you! Everything I did... I did it because I love you!" he screamed, his voice turning hysteri

    POV: Evelyn ReeveThe clock on the wall of the Miami PD precinct clicked toward ten. The air in the room was sharp—a sterile mixture of over-cranked air conditioning and the kind of tension that made the hair on my arms stand up.But I wasn't the same girl who had huddled, shaking, in a corporate restroom stall yesterday.This time, I wasn't alone.I sat on the cold metal bench, flanked by my own personal vanguard. Shae was to my right, her hand clamped firmly over mine. Her gaze was fixed on the interrogation room door, sharp enough to draw blood from anyone who dared walk through it. To my left sat Noelle. She looked like she was ready for a gala, but the way she white-knuckled her designer clutch told a different story."Don't worry, Evie," Noelle hissed, her voice low and dangerous. "If that prick even breathes in your direction, I’m swinging this Birkin. It’s heavy enough to do some real damage."In front of us stood Jovan and Kendrick.

    We pulled into the valet at an elegant beachfront restaurant. The building was open-air, with high timber ceilings and rattan chandeliers that cast a warm, golden glow over everything.The sound of the Atlantic surf was clear here, mingling with the clink of silverware and the low hum of d

    POV: Evelyn ReeveThe last few days had been a blur of stolen glances and shared coffee in the Meridian breakroom. Being around Jovan felt... different. Every day at the office felt less like a chore and more like a countdown until I could see him again. Chloe had stayed quiet, thank God.

    I froze. For a split second, a memory of a "romantic dinner" with Archer flashed by—a night that ended in lies. The fear clawed at my chest.But when I looked at Jovan, I didn't see a manipulator. I saw a man who was terrified I’d say no, yet brave enough to ask anyway.
