Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Meeting Begins

I walked into the branch office, my heart pounding. My hands were clammy, and my chest felt heavy. I told myself over and over: I can do this. I have to do this.

Mira appeared almost immediately, her eyes narrowing the moment she saw me. She smiled, but it wasn’t real, it was sharp, calculated.

“You still have the guts to come here?” she whispered, but loud enough for only me to hear. You were lucky to be saved last time… Today, you won’t be lucky.

I froze for a second, shivers running down my spine. But I straightened my back and held my head high. I would not let her fear control me.

Before I could respond, the branch CEO and the manager walked in. Mira’s expression shifted instantly. She smiled warmly, her posture polite and respectful. “Good morning,” she said, her tone soft and friendly. “I’m happy to see everyone ready for today’s discussion.”

  • The Secetary’s Secret Marriage   Revealed

    Chapter Forty Two : RevealedAlina’s POVI woke up with my eyes burning, tears still drying on my cheeks. My chest hurt as if my heart was being crushed from inside. Lucien sat on the edge of my bed, his hand resting on mine. He had been there the whole night. He looked so tired, yet his eyes never left me.“Alina,” he said softly, almost like a whisper, “I can’t watch you cry like this anymore. Tell me. Please. What happened? Who is doing this to you?”His voice was calm, but I could hear the storm under it. He wanted answers. He deserved them. I bit my lip, fighting the urge to stay silent. My throat ached as if every word would tear me apart.“I…” My voice cracked, and I closed my eyes. “It started with Dima.”The moment I said his name, Lucien’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t speak. His hand pressed mine gently, urging me to go on.“He… he came to the company,” I whispered, my tears blurring everything again. “Where the project was supposed to hold. He found me there. He… he threate

My body was heavy, but my dreams were full of shadows. Faces I wanted to forget, voices I never wanted to hear again.In the dream, I was back in that cold room. The police lights flashed against the walls. My hands were cuffed again, cutting into my skin. And then I heard Dima’s laugh, sharp and cruel, echoing everywhere.“You won’t get away, Alina. You’ll never be free.”I tried to run, but I couldn’t move. My legs were like stone. My hands bled from the cuffs, but I pulled and pulled until the pain burned. The voices grew louder. The faces closer. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t escape.And then I screamed.My eyes flew open, my chest rising and falling fast, as if I had been running for hours.

  • The Secetary’s Secret Marriage   Her Fragile Silence

    Chapter Fifty: Her Fragile SilenceLucien’s POVI kept my eyes on her the entire drive home. She sat in silence, her hands folded tightly in her lap, her body trembling like a leaf caught in the wind. Her tears had slowed, but the wet trail on her cheeks spoke louder than words. I wanted to demand answers, to shake the truth from her lips, but the sight of her fragile state silenced me. She had suffered enough tonight.When we reached home, I guided her inside gently, almost afraid she would shatter if I held her too firmly. She looked so small against the vastness of my home, as though the world had swallowed her whole and left nothing but a shell.“Sit,” I said quietly, pointing to the couch. My voice was steady, but inside, every nerve in me burned with the questions I wanted to ask. Why was she in the police station? Why had her ex-husband appeared like a vulture circling its prey? What secrets was she still hiding?But I pushed them down. Not tonight. Not while she was breaking i

    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.
