The CEO'S secretary Chapter 63
CHLOE’S POVThe tunnel swallowed us whole.One minute, it was shouts ….. boots grinding against gravel, engines revving, orders flying through rain and the next, silence. Only the echo of our footsteps in the dark. The air smelled of rust and rain and fear. Gavin’s flashlight flickered over the curved walls, throwing our shadows long and distorted across the stone.Elias was ahead of us silent, moving like a storm held together by restraint. He hadn’t said a word since the moment the bullets started. He didn’t have to. His presence alone cut through the chaos, the kind that made people move faster, think sharper.Nina stumbled behind me, clutching her arm. Gavin caught her before she fell. “You okay?”“Just grazed,” she hissed. “Keep moving.”I turned back to Elias. “How far does this tunnel go?”He didn’t look back. “Far enough if you don’t stop.”His voice was steady, cold in that razor-edged face that he always wore when everything else was falling apart. But even in the dim ligh
The CEO'S secretary Chapter 62
CHLOE’S POVThe rain had stopped, but the silence it left behind felt heavier than before.The kind that filled your ears until you started hearing things that weren’t really there….footsteps, whispers, doubts.Elias hadn’t moved since his father’s car vanished into the fog. He stood with his hands in his pockets, his jaw locked tight, eyes fixed on the direction it disappeared.You could almost mistake him for calm if you didn’t know what it looked like when he was breaking inside.Nina finally exhaled. “So… that was your father.”Elias didn’t answer.Didn’t even look at her.Gavin took a slow step forward, scanning the tree line. “We should move before they circle back.”He was right. But still, none of us moved.I stepped closer to Elias. The gravel crunched softly under my boots. “You knew he was real.”He didn’t turn. “I wasn’t sure.”“But you hoped.”That made him glance at me….. just once, long enough for me to see it. The quiet ache he didn’t let anyone see.For all his contro

ELIAS’S POVI should’ve known he’d find her first.The road wound into the outskirts empty, except for the rain and the car I recognized immediately. My father’s. Black, gleaming, BMW. It sat like a shadow against the mist.I stepped out before the driver could reach the handle. The ground was slick, the air cut clean through my coat. My breath came out white.They were already facing each other Chloe, standing her ground with that drive clutched tight in her hand, my father was calm like the world still turned at his command. Gavin lingered close, protective. Nina’s eyes darted towards me the second I appeared, and in that brief glance, I saw relief and terror both.My father turned slowly, as if he’d been expecting me all along.“Elias.”I walked toward him, my shoes sinking slightly in the mud. “You left me at the hotel.”His mouth curved in that faint, familiar way amusement laced with reproach. “You were never one to wait patiently.”“I wasn’t supposed to,” I said evenly. “You w

CHLOE’S POVThe night stretched endlessly. The storm outside had reduced to a low hum, but the air in the tunnel was still really cold. Every sound, every drip of water, every creak of shifting rock felt louder in the silence that followed.Nina had fallen into a light sleep, her head resting against her pack, gun still clutched loosely in her hand. Gavin sat near the entrance, staring at the dark like it might give him answers. His sling was soaked through, and the fabric clung to his shoulder.I couldn’t sleep. My mind wouldn’t let me.The drive rested on my lap …. small, cold, and impossibly heavy for what it carried. Elias’s voice haunted me more than the storm. The way he’d said destroy it like he’d already made peace with never walking away from the ruins.I pressed my thumb to the drive’s edge. “You’d better be alive, Elias,” I murmured.“Talking to him again?” Gavin’s voice was deep but calm. He didn’t look at me, still scanning the tunnel mouth.“Maybe,” I said. “It’s easier
The CEO'S secretary Chapter 59
CHLOE’S POVBy dusk, the rain had started again….thin, deliberate drops that tapped against the windows like a clock counting down. The air inside the safe house felt heavier with every passing minute, thick with the scent of damp wood and adrenaline. I’d packed twice already, then unpacked. Every decision felt like the wrong one, but staying wasn’t an option anymore.Gavin sat slouched against the wall, his arm in a sling, staring at the single candle flickering between us. His eyes were dull, ringed with exhaustion and the kind of silence that wasn’t sleep….it was grief. Nina had gone to check the perimeter, though I could still hear her boots crunching outside. She was nervous, pretending not to be.“We can’t keep waiting for him,” Gavin muttered, his voice rough.I didn’t answer. My hands were still trembling from the call with Elias that morning. His voice had followed me all day, the calmness under the warning, the way it cracked just slightly when he said stay alive.Gavin must
The CEO'S secretary Chapter 58
CHLOE’S POVThe silence after the call was louder than the conversation itself.For a while, I just sat there, staring at the dead screen. My reflection stared back, my eyes swollen, hair tangled, the candlelight making ghosts out of shadows behind me.> “Stay alive, Chloe.”The words clung to the air, heavy and final. He always said them like an order, not a promise.I reached forward and powered down the terminal. The hum stopped. The room fell back into its natural rhythm….rain tapping against the cracked window, the faint groan of the old pipes.It was supposed to feel safe here. Hidden.Instead, it felt like waiting for something to find us.I pressed my palms over my face, trying to breathe past the ache in my chest. Every part of me was tired…my mind, my bones, even my heartbeat. Elias sounded the same way, but he’d never admit it. He’d rather turn exhaustion into discipline than weakness.He’d sounded distant, too colder around the edges, like his father’s voice was starting t
