“I have an interview," Valeria replied. “I told you I'd be getting a job soon." “An interview," Callista repeated. “Shouldn't you be feeling nervous? You look happy like you're assured of the job." Valeria laughed lightly. “Actually, I'm happy because I'd be meeting my husband today." Callista almost choked on her coffee. “Already?" Valeria nodded. “We talked last night and arranged to meet later today." Callista smiled. “That's good. I hope you like him." “I will," Valeria replied quickly, too quickly. She hurried up and left the house, after giving her friend a peck on the cheek. *** By 6:40a.m, Valeria is standing in front of the only skyscraper in the city. The morning sun casted warm glow on its glass, and it casted a light on her gray eyes. “This is it," Valeria whispers, straightening her dress before walking in. “Sofia Cliff?” The receptionist asked. " Yes,” Valeria lied. She knew her father and Mr Wilson would try to sabotage her chances of getting a job, so she had to change her name. "Mr Crest will see you in this office now,” she said. " This way,” another young corporately dressed lady gestured, leading the way. The elevator opened on the thirty sixth floor and she followed the lady down the hallway. They stopped in front of a double door made of oak, the lady tapped once and a deep voice answered. " Enter,” The lady turned to Valeria. " You can go in.” Before Valeria could ask any question, the lady walked away, leaving her shaking. She inhaled deeply and let herself in. Her gaze settled on the black sleek name plate on the desk, with the name ‘IVAN CREST’. She approached the desk where a young man dressed in a clean and shiny white shirt sat. Air left her lungs when he looked up and met her gaze with a smile that could send a woman into cardiac arrest. “You're here for the position of an executive assistant?" He asked, his green eyes narrowed as his smile broadened. Valeria nodded nervously. “Yes, sir." “You're hired." “What?" Valeria's eyes widened. “No interview?" “Well, I'm in one of my good moods, so it's your lucky day." Valeria stood confused, as he reached for his phone and dialed a number. The line connected. I'd like to make a reservation for two,” he said. Valeria stared at him, not paying attention to his discussion on the phone. She wondered what could make him so happy. She stared so hard that she didn't notice when he ended the call. "So, walk me through my schedule for today," he gestured to the tablet in front of her. Valeria snapped out of her shock. " Oh, right,” she said, fumbling with the tablet. He leaned back on his chair, his chest spread into an impossible sculpted shape she'd ever seen, his facial features looked like they were carved with precision. “Uhm…you,” her voice trailed off, as she fought the urge to look into his eyes that stayed in her the whole time. " You have a meeting with Vodkov International, this morning.” He swirled slowly in his chair, his gaze not leaving her. "At 12p.m, you have lunch with the C.E.O of Mictech—” " Clear my schedule from 12p.m,” he cuts in. Valeria paused. " I…should —" “I have a date with my wife later today, I want to spend the rest of the day preparing." Valeria nodded slowly. “Oh, okay." She was intrigued by his reaction, wondering if her mystery husband was this excited to meet her. “Newly married, so…,” he added. "Oh, I see,” Valeria realized, her eyes drifting to the shiny ring on his finger. "I'm sure you understand the thrill, since you're newly married too,” he continued, looking at the shiny knock off ring she found in her bag. "Of course,” she chuckled nervously. The day went on with work, Ivan ended up doing more than he had planned for the day but still made time to be on his phone. This bought Valeria enough time to also be on the phone with her mystery husband. “Sort this out," Ivan said, pointing at some old files stacked on his desk. Before Valeria could ask further questions, he had already stepped out. “Hey, Noona. How was your trip?" “It was hectic but I landed safe." “That's good to hear." “So…have you been able to meet with her?” " I will, later today.” " That's good. You shouldn't delay things.” Ivan laughed. " Slow down Noona, let's take it slowly.” “You can't blame me, Treasure. A Romano goes for what he wants, it's in the blood." Ivan chuckled. “I'll call you after I meet with her." The call ended and he stepped back into the office. The day went on with the normal office activity, but Ivan wouldn't stop checking his watch. Neither did Valeria. At 5p.m, he stood and reached for his jacket. “Let's call it a day." Valeria was more than happy, since she gets the time to get ready before meeting with her mystery husband. They stepped out of the office building together, with Valeria clutching tightly to her purse. “Why don't you hop in, I'll drop you along the way," Ivan offered. Without hesitation, Valeria climbed into the back of the car. This would help her get home faster. The ride was quiet and tense, Ivan stayed on his phone and Valeria kept replying to the text of her mystery husband. Valeria would have been relieved to know that her boss was heading to the direction of her house, but it unsettled her. She thought about it. It wouldn't be nice if her boss finds out where she stayed, it was too soon. The driver took another turn and entered Valeria's street, making it possible for her to see her house from where they were. Just then, Valeria's phone buzzed and lit up with a message from her mystery husband.

The Wife He Doesn't Know The Name On The File
The following morning, Ivan arrived at the office earlier than usual. He had barely slept the previous night, and every time he closed his eyes, he remembered the kiss with Sofia. He had promised himself that it would not happen again, but he knew the problem was deeper than a simple kiss. He was becoming too comfortable around her, and that frightened him.He sat behind his desk and opened the first file in front of him, but for several minutes, he tried to concentrate, but his mind kept returning to the same question. Why did he feel so drawn to her?He had known Sofia for months. She was intelligent, reliable, and calm. He had always respected her as his assistant, but lately, something had changed between them, and he could no longer pretend not to notice it.A knock sounded on the door. “Come in.”Mike entered the office carrying a folder. “You're here early,” he said.“I had work to do.”Mike placed the folder on the desk. “I brought the information I promised you.”Ivan's e
The Wife He Doesn't Know The Kiss They Couldn't Stop
The second kiss lasted only a few seconds before Valeria suddenly pulled away.Her breathing was uneven, and she stared at Ivan as if she had just woken up from a dream. “This is wrong,” she whispered.Ivan remained still, his eyes fixed on her. He knew she was right, but every time he tried to stay away from her, something pulled him back. “I know,” he said quietly.Valeria took a step backward and shook her head. “Then we have to stop.”He swallowed hard. “I know.”“But you keep doing it.”Ivan lowered his gaze for a moment. “I don't know what happens to me when I'm around you.”Her heart tightened at his words.She wanted to say that she understood because she felt the same way, she wanted to tell him that every time he looked at her, she forgot about the man she had married and the promises she had made. Instead, she whispered, “You have a wife.”He simply nodded. “Unfortunately.”The words hung between them.Neither of them knew how strange they sounded.They were both married,
The Wife He Doesn't Know The Name That Shocked Her
Valeria stood outside Ivan's office for several seconds, staring at the closed door. She had spent the entire morning arguing with herself about whether she should come. Pride told her to stay away, but reality had become impossible to ignore. She needed her job, and she needed the income that came with it.She finally raised her hand and knocked.“Come in.”She opened the door and stepped inside.Ivan looked up from his desk, surprise flashing across his face when he saw her. For a moment, neither of them spoke. The memory of yesterday's kiss returned to both of them, but Valeria quickly lowered her eyes.“Sir.”“Sofia.”Her fingers tightened around the strap of her handbag. “I came to talk to you.”Ivan leaned back in his chair. “About what?”“My job.”His expression changed slightly.Valeria took a breath. “I know I was given time off, but I wanted to ask if I could return.”Ivan stared at her.“I don't want to cause trouble,” she continued quickly. “And if I did something wrong, I
The Wife He Doesn't Know Behind Closed Doors
Callista had spent the entire evening thinking about Ivan's reaction to her question.“Is there another woman?”He had frozen. It had lasted barely a second, but she had noticed it.Something was going on, and Callista was beginning to understand that getting closer to Ivan emotionally would not be enough. She needed him to become physically attached to her, because once they crossed that line, she believed everything else would become easier.By the time Ivan returned home, she was already waiting for him in the living room with a bottle of wine on the table. “You're back,” she said, smiling.Ivan removed his jacket. “Yes.”“You look tired.”“I am.”Callista poured herself another glass. “Then sit with me.”Ivan glanced at the bottle. “You've been drinking?”“A little.”He walked toward her and took the bottle from her hand. “That is enough.”She frowned. “Why?”“Because you're already drunk.”“I'm not drunk.”“You are.”Callista laughed and reached for the bottle, but Ivan moved i

Mike froze in the doorway.For several seconds, nobody moved.His eyes went from Ivan to Valeria, then back to Ivan again. The unfinished sentence died on his lips as the reality of what he had walked into finally registered.Ivan stepped away from Valeria immediately, Valeria's face burned with embarrassment. She lowered her eyes, unable to look at Mike or Ivan.“I…” she began.“You don't have to explain,” Mike said quietly.That somehow made the situation worse.Valeria swallowed hard, grabbed her bag, and walked toward the door. She avoided looking at Ivan as she passed Mike. “Excuse me.”Mike stepped aside.The moment she disappeared down the hallway, Mike slowly closed the door then he turned toward Ivan. “What was that?”Ivan didn't respond. Mike stared at him. “Ivan.”“I know what you're going to say.”“No, I don't think you do.”Ivan walked back toward his desk and picked up the file Valeria had found earlier, but he didn't open it.Mike followed him. “You told me she was
The Wife He Doesn't Know The Kiss He Couldn't Resist
Ivan sat behind his desk, staring at the documents scattered across it. The meeting with one of his most important clients was less than thirty minutes away, yet the file containing their previous agreement was nowhere to be found. He opened the drawer again, checked the cabinet beside his desk, then went through the folders for the third time. “Where the hell is it?” he muttered.His manager stood across from the desk, looking increasingly nervous. “Sir, are you sure the file was brought here?”“Yes. I reviewed it with Sofia before my last meeting.”The manager hesitated. “Should I ask someone to search the archive?”Ivan shook his head. “No. Sofia would know exactly where it is.”The moment he said her name, another problem came to mind. His client had disputed one of the terms in their agreement, insisting that Ivan had approved an extension on the second payment. Ivan remembered the negotiation clearly, but Sofia had been present throughout the meeting and had recorded every imp
