The day hadn’t started cold, and for that reason, I left the house without my coat. I figured I’d be fine in just my brown shirt and a pair of black pants—minimal but decent. Besides, the sun was out when I stepped out of my apartment.

But by noon, the cold had crept in—slow at first, then sharp and biting. A not-so-subtle reminder that winter was knocking, uninvited and early.

“You’re shivering,” John said, breaking the silence between us. He was seated across from me in my office, papers spread across the desk between us like a protective wall. It was our first official day working together, and up until that moment, it had been—surprisingly—smooth.

He had come into my office not long after I arrived, greeted me politely, and handed over some paperwork relating to the company’s expansion into the American pharmaceutical market. He spoke with clarity, walking me through the complexities I didn’t quite grasp yet, pointing out what trends to look for, which regulations to note, how th

  • The woman they tried to bury   Chapter Thirteen- He Must Never Know

    Chapter 12 – John“Why was she wearing your coat?” Tricia snapped the moment she got into the car. I’d been expecting this—had seen it simmering in her eyes back in Livia’s office—but she’d kept herself in check then, probably to avoid confirming any whispers about our marriage. Now that we were alone, she didn’t hold back.“Tricia, don’t start,” I said calmly, opening the driver’s door. She threw herself into her seat with a dramatic huff.“Stop saying that!” she barked. “Why the hell was she wearing your coat, John?” She twisted her body toward me, hands on her hips, like she was ready for war.“Because she was cold, alright? That’s it. She was freezing, and I—”“Oh wow,” she interrupted. “I didn’t know you were a Cold Patrol officer now. What, she doesn’t own a coat? That stupid bitch probably left her brain behind too.”“Don’t talk about her like that,” I said, my tone low and warning.Truth was, I wasn’t even comfortable giving Olivia the coat in the first place—not because I did

  • The woman they tried to bury   Chapter Eleven- What Was He Going to Say?

    That bitch.From the moment she stepped into my life, the darkness she carried was impossible to ignore. I could feel it, crawling under my skin. I know she conspired with my mother-in-law to get me out of the picture, and John? He was too blind to see it. And now he’s married to her. What an idiot. He has no idea who he’s living with, no clue what she’s capable of just to get what she wants.But I’ll make them pay. Fate brought me back here for a reason. To get my revenge.A subtle knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. Rob walked in, a smile stretched across his face like nothing in the world could shake it.“Hey, you,” I said, adjusting in my seat as he stepped closer.“Can I?” he asked, gesturing to the chair across from me.“Of course,” I replied with a scoff.He leaned in, those intense dark blue eyes flickering with something unreadable. They made me slightly uneasy—nervous, even. Then he smiled again.“How’s your first day going?”Oh boy. Where do I begin?It started

  • The woman they tried to bury   Chapter Ten- THE DEAL

    John’s POV“What the fuck is that bitch doing here? She really has the guts to show her face again after what she did?”Tricia’s voice pierced through the conference room like a blade. She was pacing now, heels stabbing into the floor, eyes wide with disbelief, fury pulsing through her. She didn’t even care that a few of the senior executives—people completely unaware of the history—were still seated, watching the spectacle unfold.I stepped back into the room and felt every eye dart to me.“Excuse us, please,” I said, offering a polite smile that masked the absolute chaos unraveling inside me.The executives stood, awkwardly, quietly. No one questioned me. They just filed out, leaving behind the storm they knew wasn’t theirs to weather.The moment the door clicked shut, I stumbled toward a chair and slumped into it. I couldn’t find the strength to sit upright. My mind was racing. Heart pounding. I felt like the room was spinning.Tricia was still talking. Loud. Angry. But I couldn’t

  • The woman they tried to bury   Chapter Nine- Working Closely with Monsters

    Olivia’s POVThey were all too stunned to utter a single word.Tricia stared at me like I was a character from a movie she hated—or maybe one she couldn’t stop watching despite herself. Her eyes followed every movement I made, wide and unblinking, her expression frozen somewhere between disbelief and disdain. It was almost comical how obvious she was.Mrs. Luther, on the other hand, tried to maintain her usual composure, but I caught her stealing glances at me. Pretending not to care, but failing miserably. How pathetic.I remembered the day they laughed at me. The day they ridiculed me. Called me a liar, a gold-digger, a nobody pretending to be someone. The memory was still sharp, still raw. But now? Now I had walked into this room beside a giant. Not just anyone—but Robert Adebayo, CEO of Adebayo Pharmaceuticals. A name that rang loud in global boardrooms. A company with over twenty branches worldwide, operating in more than three continents. We weren’t just big—we were dominating.

  • The woman they tried to bury   Chapter 8- They Saw Me Now

    As our car approached the Luther Pharmaceutical building, my heart began to race—much to my own surprise. I thought I had it all covered. Thought I had tucked every raw edge of the past neatly away. But maybe… maybe I’d been lying to myself all along.Nothing had really changed, except that the building’s exterior looked freshly painted. A new coat of polish over old scars. How fitting.We pulled into the parking lot. Robert was seated beside me in the SUV, along with four other members of our administrative team. He wasn’t playing around—it had barely been twenty-four hours since we landed, and already we were here, at Luther’s company. Officially, we were here to meet our new partners. At least, that’s what everyone else in the vehicle believed.But for me, this was far more than a business meeting.This was a reckoning. A return. A declaration that I had survived. That I had endured. And now I was back—stronger, sharper, and standing taller than they could’ve ever imagined.As we s
