I read the note five times.Ten times.The letters were cut from magazines—different fonts, different sizes, pasted onto cheap paper. It was methodical. Deliberate.

Chapter 57: Callum Won't StopI read the note five times.Ten times.The letters were cut from magazines—different fonts, different sizes, pasted onto cheap paper. It was methodical. Deliberate. Someone had taken the time to do this, which meant someone cared enough to make a point.*Careful who you're fucking. People notice.*It couldn't have been Sienna. She was too mature for anonymous threats, and besides, she'd already confronted me directly yesterday. This felt different. This felt like someone younger, angrier, or more afraid.I folded the note and put it back in the envelope, then shoved it into my pocket. All morning, I felt it there like a physical weight, a constant reminder that someone knew. Someone was watching. Someone was judging.I tried to work. I really did. But I couldn't focus on anything—the project files felt meaningless, the emails blurred together, everything felt hollow and dangerous.

Chapter 56: Office Games"Wait, where are you?" Brynn asked, tilting her screen. "That looks like... is that Dad's sitting room? Those are his curtains."My stomach dropped.Evander moved immediately. He stood up from beside me and carried me off his lap, setting me down in the chair next to him before sitting back down himself, creating the illusion of professional distance. It was smooth, practiced almost, like he'd rehearsed this moment in his mind."We have unfinished projects from today," I said, my voice steady even though my heart was racing. "It might be an all-nighter situation.""At Dad's house?" Brynn's eyes narrowed slightly. "That's weird. Dad usually doesn't—""Give me the phone," Evander said, his tone shifting to something fatherly and firm.I watched as he took the phone from my hands, and Brynn's expression changed immediately to that specific look reserved for disappointing fathers."Dad! Why are you making her work like this?" she scolded. "That's not okay. She nee

Chapter 55: The Dress That RemembersI walked out of the records room in a daze, my mind replaying Sienna's warning over and over.*People talk. Mr. Ashford doesn't usually look at staff like that.*I should tell Evander. I should warn him that someone knew, that we were becoming obvious. But then I remembered the way his jaw had tightened when I made that joke. The way his eyes had hardened. The casual way he'd said, "Then I'll fire them."He'd meant it.And I couldn't be responsible for Sienna losing her job. Not because she'd figured out what we were doing, but because I was too cowardly to keep our secret properly. So I went back to my desk and worked through the afternoon, acutely aware of every eye that passed my way, every whispered conversation that stopped when I approached.When the day finally ended and people filtered out, I was the last one to leave. I walked outside into the grey afternoon, and before I'd even made it to the edge of the property, Evander's car pulled up

Chapter 54: Rumors and FingersThe moment the meeting ended and people started gathering their files, I stood up.I needed to get out of that room before Evander could ask me to wait. Before he could pull me into his office again. My body was already responding to him in ways that were becoming dangerous, and the way his eyes had hardened when he saw Callum's text on my phone meant we needed distance, at least for the next hour.I was the first one out the door.At my desk, I tried to focus on reviewing the meeting details, taking notes, doing the actual work I was supposed to be doing. But my phone kept buzzing. Callum, persistent and hopeful.**Callum:** "So Friday at 7? There's a great restaurant in the city center. I'll make a reservation."I stared at the message and didn't respond.That's when I heard them.My colleagues, gathered by the water cooler just out of sight of my desk, their voices low but not low enough."Don't you think she's kinda close with the boss recently?" one

Chapter 53: First Day, First TestThe drive was quiet.Evander's hands were on the steering wheel, his focus on the road, and I thought maybe he'd decided to keep things professional after all. Maybe the moment in my apartment, the possessiveness, the certainty—maybe he'd realized it was too dangerous to bring into the workplace.Then his hand reached for mine.I resisted at first, pulling back slightly, aware of the windows and the daylight and the fact that we were about to arrive at a place where dozens of people worked for him. Where I worked for him. But his hand was patient, waiting, not forcing, and eventually I surrendered and let him hold it. His thumb traced circles on the back of my hand, slow and deliberate, a gesture so simple it shouldn't have meant anything.It meant everything.When we pulled up to the estate, he let go immediately. Like a switch had flipped. Like the man who'd been holding my hand had been replaced by someone else entirely—professional, distant, the e

Chapter 52: Monday Morning~zella Pov~"Hey pretty," Callum's voice came through, warm and patient and completely uncomplicated. "I was thinking about making up for the other night. You know, the club thing didn't go the way I planned. Do you have time to go out this week? Dinner, drinks, whatever you want—just let me know."I listened to him talk about restaurants he'd been thinking about, little places off the beaten path that he thought I'd like based on things I'd mentioned in passing. He was paying attention. He was trying. And I felt nothing but guilt for stringing him along, for letting him believe there was a possibility when there wasn't."Callum, I..." I started, but he interrupted gently."I know you're not sure yet. That's fine. There's no pressure. Just think about it, yeah? When you're ready, I'll be here."The problem was that I was going somewhere, and it was away from him. Away from anyone who could offer me the simple, uncomplicated life I'd once thought I wanted."I
