My biggest hopes crashed the second I saw my father’s car and my mother’s driver parked outside the house.

“To my office, Zoe.” His sharp voice cut through the air the moment I stepped inside.

I froze.

They’d been waiting for me.

Both of them stood in the hallway, faces cold and unreadable, and suddenly it felt like I’d done something unforgivable—like I was about to be punished.

“Can I change first? I just got home,” I said, unable to keep the edge out of my voice as I gestured at myself. I wa

  • The CEO Who Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 80. Epilogue

    “Miss Shulgin!”The professor’s voice rang through the lecture hall.“Shulgin!”I kept absentmindedly tracing Alan’s name across my notebook, drawing tiny hearts around it while my mind wandered somewhere far beyond the university walls. It was Friday—our last class of the week—and tonight Alan and I finally had a date.Lately, I’d been looking forward to nights like this more than ever. Ever since the wedding, we’d both been buried under work, responsibilities, endless obligations. It felt like we barely got any time alone anymore.So naturally, I completely missed the fact that trouble was heading straight for me.A sharp crack echoed through the room as the pointer slammed against my desk, making me jump so hard my notebook nearly slid onto the floor.I looked up in alarm and met the professor’s irritated stare.“Miss Shulgin,” he repeated pointedly, and only then did it hit me that he’d been trying to get my attention this entire time.Damn.I still wasn’t used to my new last name

    No, those two were never going to be friends. And honestly, why had I ever convinced myself Kira and Valeri had found some kind of middle ground when they looked seconds away from tearing each other apart every single time they were in the same room?I watched yet another argument unfold with detached amusement, still struggling to believe my sweet, well-mannered sister could hate someone this much.I’d tried more than once to figure out what had happened between them, but every time I asked, both of them shut down instantly, like they’d made some blood oath never to talk about it.“Girls like her shouldn’t even be looking in our direction, let alone—” Kira snapped before cutting herself off the second she noticed the curiosity on my face.There it was again.The moment the real reason came up, silence.Valeri walked over and looped her arm through mine.“Come on. We still have to find you the prettiest dress for the wedding, Zoe,” she said.Kira immediately scoffed.“And you think yo

  • The CEO Who Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 78. I'm Home

    Sweetheart, are you absolutely sure about this?” Dad asked for what felt like the hundredth time, wrapping an arm around my shoulders outside the hospital entrance.The day I was finally being discharged had come, and everyone showed up to celebrate my recovery. Everyone except Mom. We’d gotten into another fight because of my new fiancé. She openly accused me of stealing Valeri’s man, and whatever fragile peace we’d managed to rebuild shattered instantly.“I’m sure, Dad,” I said softly, slipping out of his embrace with a small smile.I moved closer to Alan, then glanced around at everyone gathered outside.“Thank you all for coming.”Valeri and Kira smiled warmly at me, while Boris stepped forward and held out a hand to Alan.“Take good care of her, Shulgin. Otherwise, I’ll steal her away myself,” he said seriously.Then the familiar dimple appeared in his cheek, and I relaxed immediately.“Of course I’ll take care of her, Uleev,” Alan replied evenly. “So don’t even think about touch

    Breathing hurt, but opening my eyes felt impossible.Somewhere nearby, a familiar voice wrapped around me, soft and warm, pulling me toward it. I wanted to see him so badly.“Open your eyes, Sleeping Beauty,” Alan whispered, pressing a kiss to my hand between every word.My fingers twitched at the sensation, and I heard movement beside me.“Zoe, you can hear me, can’t you?” His voice dropped lower, rough with emotion. “I know you can. And the second you wake up, I’m getting on my knees and asking you to marry me.”“I agree,” I whispered weakly, barely managing to move my tongue.My voice sounded strange and distant, muffled behind something covering my face.“You agree?” Happiness exploded in his voice, and then something cool brushed against my skin. A ring. “God, sweetheart, you have no idea how happy I am right now. It’d be even better if you opened those pretty eyes for me. I want to see you looking at me.”Well… if you want it that badly.Using every bit of strength I had left, I

    AlanThe gun went off, but no pain followed.I was still breathing, and for a second, my brain couldn’t even process it. Shouting exploded around the warehouse, forcing my eyes open. Shock slammed through me as I stared at the man sprawled motionless across the floor. Blood pooled beneath him fast while armed men stormed the building from every direction. One look at the uniforms and insignias on their vests told me they were on my side.Then I saw a familiar figure in the distance, and honestly, I didn’t even know if I felt relieved.The look on Yakovlev’s face was terrifying.He marched straight toward me like he wanted to tear me apart for hurting his daughter all over again.Rinat stepped out from behind Konstantin and rushed over, his hands shaking while he untied the ropes around my wrists.“Do you have any idea what would’ve happened if I hadn’t decided to check why the hell you weren’t answering your phone?” he snapped, practically shaking with anger. “I kept calling, and when

    AlanPain tore through every muscle in my body, but it barely registered compared to the horror that slammed into me the second I woke up. The moment my head cleared, I remembered Zoe.Those bastards could’ve killed her.Or worse.Every possible scenario that flashed through my mind was worse than the last, and if not for the gag shoved into my mouth, I would’ve ripped the man guarding me apart with nothing but pure rage.An abandoned warehouse stretched around me, dusty and half-rotten, thin beams of sunlight cutting through cracks in the walls. Rusted metal groaned somewhere overhead.I’d been out for hours. Maybe longer.The door creaked open.Two men walked inside.One of them I knew far too well.The other was younger, sharp-featured, probably somewhere in his twenties. Never seen him before.“You’re awake,” Philip said with a smug little smile as he stopped in front of me.Some people looked rotten from the inside out. Philip was one of them. You could see it in the way he carri
