last update publish date: 2026-04-20 15:49:15

With strict parents, constant surveillance, and a healthy fear of the secrets hidden inside this house, I had never told any of my so-called friends where I lived. So I spent several blissful days at home, locked away in my ridiculously expensive bedroom, surrounded by silence and peace, devouring one book after another. The books didn’t just help pass the time—they kept me from tearing myself apart.

“What a bastard Edgar is,” I muttered, slamming the book shut for the third time. “She loves yo

  • The CEO Who Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 10. An Unexpected Meeting

    "You’ve been floating around the house like you’re walking on air for the past two days," my sister said as I danced around my room to the beat of the music.I felt amazing.A double win. Kriss was furious with me, and that man was probably giving himself a migraine trying to figure out if I was really too young. Right now he was most likely driving himself crazy, wondering who I was and how to find me.Good luck with that.The heavy makeup and my usual habit of leaving my ID at home had finally worked in my favor. There was no way he’d find me, no matter how hard he tried.The only problem I still had left was figuring out how to return the money he’d paid for a night with me.But I’d deal with that later."What’s so weird about that? I’m happy, that’s all," I said, tossing my bag onto the couch.In half an hour, we were leaving to spend the weekend with Valeri’s fiancé, and I was completely ready.I’d decided not to shock Alan too badly with my usual look, so I wore less makeup than

  • The CEO Who Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 9. The Ring of Crystal

    The clear, crystalline crash rang through the air. Exactly what victory should sound like. I yanked the bottom glass free and barely jumped back in time before the entire champagne tower collapsed in a sparkling avalanche. The man ended up knee-deep in broken crystal and sticky champagne, while my former friend was buried almost to her neck. For the first few seconds, I watched them carefully. I really hoped I hadn’t actually hurt either of them. A dripping-wet Kriss climbed to her feet and stared at me like she’d just seen a ghost. The man looked at me too. With the exact same murderous expression he’d worn when I dumped a milkshake all over him. Only this time, I had absolutely no intention of apologizing. Someone in the crowd laughed. Right. Time to play innocent. I gasped dramatically, rushed over to Kriss, and grabbed her arm. “Oh my God, I’m so sorry. I have no idea how that happened. Are you okay?” Kriss looked as shocked as if it had started snowing in the middle o

  • The CEO Who Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 8. Enemies

    AlanEvery one-night stand I'd ever had was out of my head the second I walked away and left a sleeping woman behind.But I couldn't stop thinking about that night.The flashes of it. The soft, breathless moans of that seductive blonde. It was hard to believe a body that perfect had never belonged to another man. I'd been her first, and I wouldn't have minded repeating that night one more time.Only this time, with her sober and fully aware.The problem was that finding her had turned into searching for a needle in a haystack. The security footage had gotten me nowhere. Tracking down the taxi hadn't helped. Neither had questioning witnesses."What an interesting look on your face," an infuriating voice drawled beside me. "Congratulations on the upcoming wedding, Shulgin. I hear the bride comes from a very respectable family."I looked up, disgust washing over me.Some people irritate you just by existing. Boris Uleev was one of them—my biggest business rival. We'd been at war for year

And what the hell is wrong with her? Does she have no self-respect at all? That piece of trash found out she was pregnant and still went right back to living his perfect little life!”“Are you talking to yourself again?” my sister asked, sticking her head into my room and looking around at the disaster zone.“You’re impossible to talk to about this stuff,” I grumbled. If Valeri read anything at all, it was probably scientific journals or

    "My name is Boris. And here's your purchase and your change."The man in front of me had somehow managed to turn an awful day into something almost bearable. For the first time in what felt like forever, I actually wanted to smile again. Maybe there were still good people left in the world. I'd spent so long obsessing over certain people that I'd stopped noticing everyone else."Thank you," I said, taking the bag and the money from him. "I'm Zoe. And you have no idea how much better I feel right now. But that girl isn't getting off with nothing more than a shoplifting fine.""Then I'm guessing what she did was a lot worse than fighting over the same guy," he said.Heat rushed to my face, and I dropped my gaze.I had never been this flustered around a man before, and I had absolutely no idea what to do with myself, so I just nodded."Well, have a good day, Zoe."He flashed me one last heart-stopping smile and stepped aside. I threw one last look toward the door my former friend had dis

  • The CEO Who Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 5. Small Revenge

    AlanSaturday morning’s meeting hadn’t just gone badly—it had been a complete disaster. Dragging a man out of a warm bed on his day off was never a good idea, no matter how important the issue was. The new employees were turning into one problem after another, and apparently even weekends weren’t off-limits anymore.My phone buzzed in my pocket, cutting through the mess of thoughts in my head."Rinat, did you get her name?" I asked without wasting a second. As if work wasn’t enough of a headache, now I had personal problems too. All because I’d been an idiot who couldn’t keep his hands to himself."Alan, come on, we all have... needs. I didn’t sleep at all last night. I sat outside that damn room the whole time—""Spare me the details. Just tell me you got her name and address. She told you when you drove her home, didn’t she?" I snapped. I needed to get rid of the guilt that had been hanging over me since morning."She took off. The second I stepped away for a minute. Then security c
