All Chapters of A Simple Way To Break You (English): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Fuck," I heard Kleinder curse as he stepped out of the office while I was entering the department.I was not even late for the time I told them. After all, schedules here at Hornbrown Investments were not that strict, especially for someone in my position.But why the hell was Kleinder suddenly cursing the moment I stepped into the company? I wanted to believe that curse was not directed at me, but I was the only person he crossed paths with.Damn him. Did he suddenly have a problem with me?"What’s your problem with me—”I was about to ask him, eyebrows raised, but before I could even finish speaking, he suddenly walked straight toward the restroom.I had barely reached my cubicle and started checking the clients’ concerns when my face was already scrunched up in irritation. Good thing I bought my favorite iced coffee earlier.But what was his problem anyway? He was not even that pissed when he left the house this morning."Sis!"I turned around when someone called me. There was onl

The entire place fell silent. Everyone turned to look at me, including Bryan, who had just been called to the stage."Bryan Garcia? Didn't you hear me?" the vice president of Hornbrown said. "Are you shocked because we gave you such a huge opportunity like this?"He was smiling, but the impatience on his face was obvious.Bryan looked at me, as if he did not know what to do. To be fair, he was good at his job too. Just like Shainara, he was still a junior employee.But compared to me, he was nowhere near my level. And Bryan was fully aware of that."Ma'am Sandara...""Go," I said before he could finish speaking. "They chose you for a reason, so don't worry about me. And... congratulations."Honestly, I did not even know if my congratulations sounded sincere or not. I just hoped he would not take it the wrong way.Everyone knew how hard I had worked for that position. Even Kleinder had seen it and admired me for it. But fate just loved playing games with me, huh?Did management dislike

Kleinder kissed me as if there was no tomorrow. His other hand went to my nape, deepening the kiss. At that point, I could barely breathe. The alcohol’s effect had already worn off, but I was getting drunk on the heat he was giving me.When he finally pulled away from my lips, his kisses trailed down to my neck. He sucked on it, and I knew he was leaving love marks.The hand that had been resting on my waist earlier moved up to my breast, gently squeezing it even through my clothes."Ah..."I moaned at the strange sensation. I knew something about this. I wasn’t innocent—I’d seen it in shows.But I never knew it would feel this good."You like it?" Kleinder asked in a deep voice, making me bite my lip. "It would feel much better if we remove this."In one swift motion, Kleinder removed my dress. Only my underwear remained.He cursed under his breath and stopped kissing me. His expression darkened even more. He looked hungry. For me."Damn it. You already looked good behind the screen.

I entered the company in a terrible mood. My subordinates sensed it, so they skipped our usual routine. They normally greet me with a cheerful "good morning," but today? They were practically scrambling to avoid me.Instead of appreciating the personal space they were giving me, I suddenly got irritated. Why were they avoiding me like I had some contagious virus?"What’s your problem? Why are you all avoiding me like I’m going to infect you?" The irritation was clear in my voice.They quickly lined up in front of me and greeted me, but it was obvious they were just forcing themselves. I just smirked and headed to my cubicle, knowing they were all wondering why I was in such a foul mood so early in the morning.It was all because of that annoying Kleinder. He was the one at fault for everything. He didn’t answer my question earlier, but I knew that was the reason he was being cold.He didn’t want me anymore, and only now did I truly realize how much of an asshole he was the moment I ad

I went straight to my room and fixed my things and myself. I took a bath, but I didn’t get dressed afterward. I only wrapped a robe around my body. I cursed while looking at myself in the mirror.Was I really sure about what I was going to do? Honestly, I didn’t even know what possessed me to go through with this.I’m not the type of person who chases, but I’m also not the type to just leave conflicts unresolved. I’m persistent when I want answers. That’s why even after all these years since Aya died, I still haven’t stopped investigating.I refuse to leave any questions lingering in my mind.“You can do this, Sandara,” I cheered myself on, clenching my fist. “Once you walk out of Kleinder’s room later, you’ll finally have the answers to your questions.”I didn’t waste any more time. I headed to Kleinder’s room and entered without knocking.Thankfully, his door wasn’t locked, but that wouldn’t have stopped me anyway. I would’ve knocked and kept knocking until he let me in.“What the f
