Chapter Twenty Four: Locked

Alina’s POV

The branch office was bigger than I expected. The glass walls stretched high, the lights were bright, and the air felt colder, stricter, than the main company. People walked fast, their faces serious, their voices low.

I followed the partners into a large meeting room. The table was wide, polished, and full of papers. At the far end sat the head of design here, a tall woman with sharp eyes and neat hair tied in a bun. She wore a dark suit that made her look even stricter. Her name was Mira.

    Chapter Forty Nine : He Came Her Pov I sank lower in the metal chair, my wrists sore from the handcuffs, my heart racing so fast I thought it would burst. Every breath felt heavy, like the air itself was too thick. The room smelled of antiseptic and fear. My hands were shaking, my tears falling freely, and I couldn’t stop them no matter how hard I tried.“Please… just save me… just save me,” I whispered, my voice barely audible, choking on the sobs that would not stop. My body trembled all over. “I… I can explain later… I’ll explain when we get home… I swear… I’ll tell you everything…”Lucien’s presence filled the room. Even though he respected the law, I could feel his power, calm and controlled but fierce underneath. He had stepped close, his eyes locking onto mine, reading every ounce of fear and desperation. I could see the worry and anger in his gaze, but there was no question—he would protect me if he could.“Alina,” he said quietly, his voice low but steady, “I will handle th

The sharp click of boots against the cold floor made my heart skip, and then stop.Lucien.He stepped in like a storm, calm but impossible to ignore. Even in the harsh light of the interrogation room, surrounded by the police, his presence filled every corner. The air seemed to shift, heavy and charged. My knees went weak, and I had to grip the edge of the metal chair to stop myself from collapsing.Tears streamed down my cheeks, unbidden. My wrists ached from the cuffs, my hands shaking so badly I could barely hold them in my lap. I wanted to run to him, to beg him to take me away from this nightmare, but my body was frozen.He didn’t shout. He didn’t slam the door. He just looked at me. His gaze was calm, cold, and sharp, like it could see straight through my soul. And yet… behind that cold mask, I knew he cared.

  • The Secetary’s Secret Marriage   Interrogation

    Chapter Forty Seven : Interrogation Alina’s POVThe cold air of the interrogation room pressed against my skin like needles. The walls were bare, the light above my head too bright, making me squint. My wrists ached from the cuffs that dug into my skin. I could still feel the weight of the fake nurse uniform clinging to me, heavy with shame.I sat on the metal chair, my heart pounding so loudly that it echoed in my ears. I wanted to run. I wanted to scream. But there was nowhere to go.One of the officers slammed a file on the table. “You better start talking. You think we don’t know what you came here to do?” His voice was sharp, filled with accusation.Another officer leaned forward, pointing at me. “You stabbed him once already in his office. Now you come into the hospital, dressed as a nurse, to finish the job? This is attempted murder, young woman.”My throat closed up.

    Chapter Forty Six : Frustration Lucien’s POVI sat in the car, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. My jaw was locked, and I could still hear her voice echoing in my head, her screams, her begging, the way she called my name while the police dragged her away.It burned me.I hated it. I hated seeing her hands in those cuffs, her face wet with tears, shaking like a little bird caught in a storm. I hated that I couldn’t do anything. But this wasn’t my world to control.

    Chapter Forty Five: The Police InvolvedAlina’s PovThe door banged open. Heavy boots hit the floor. My head snapped up through blurred tears. Two policemen walked in, their uniforms sharp, their faces harder than stone. Their eyes scanned the room, and when they landed on me, my heart collapsed.“She’s the one,” one of the guards said quickly, pointing straight at me. “She was on him, pressing the pillow. We caught her in the act.”“No!” I screamed, shaking my head so hard my vision blurred. “No, it’s not true! I didn’t—I didn’t mean it!”The policemen didn’t blink. One of them stepped forward, his voice clipped, merciless. “Cuff her.”“No, please! Please, I wasn’t—I wasn’t trying to kill him! I swear!” My words tumbled out like broken glass, sharp and useless. My knees hit the floor again, my body collapsing under the weight of fear.The cold bite of metal wrapped around my wrists. Click. Click.

Okay, okay… stay calm. Just breathe. You can do this. My hands were still trembling under the gloves, but I forced myself to straighten my back and put on the strongest face I could. No one can see the panic. Not even a flicker. Just act like you belong… like you’re a nurse.When the elevator doors opened, I stepped into the hallway. My steps were careful, measured. My stomach was tight with fear, my chest heavy, but I tried to move as naturally as I could. I could see the guards at the end of the hall. My throat went dry.They glanced at me. My heart jumped.
