**Third person**“Today is the day you die,” Adam growled, his voice laced with venom as he walked towards his pregnant wife, Ashley.Ashley, whose back was facing him, turned to look at him. “Oh Adam, it's you.” She gave him a casual smile, clearly ignorant of what Adam had planned for the night. Then she shut her eyes briefly and took a relaxing breath, allowing the cold night breeze to brush her skin for a few seconds before opening them back.“The view here is wonderful, isn't it?” She pointed out. “It's really scary how the ocean can be so dark.” Today was her twenty-fifth birthday, and she'd decided to celebrate it on her luxurious ship with friends. The lighting on this side of the ship was dim, and so she missed the icy glare on Adam's face.Adam took a step towards her, a smirk plastered across his face. “I'm really glad you like the view, it would have been a shame if you didn't. Especially since this is the last view you'll ever enjoy.”“Oh, don't say that. We'll defini

**Third person**Her mother was the first to speak up.“What are you doing here?” Her sharp tone and icy look sent shivers down Ashley's spine.Even though she looked like a different person, she still felt so small and so scared in front of them. What if they attempt to kill her again now, and they actually succeed?Breathe, Ash. They don't even know that you're the one. “Sorry, I lost my way. I was looking for the restroom,” answered Ashley, trying to keep her voice steady.“And who are you?” Her mother's eyes narrowed, and her gaze turned even icier.Just then, Adam stepped in. “Uh, Mrs. Harrison, she's my new secretary.”“Is that so?” Kate Harrison asked, her gaze turning to Adam.“Yes, ma'am.”Kate's eyes shifted back to Ash, and she stared at her for a few seconds before she continued, “What's your name?”“It's, uh, it's…” Ashley stuttered, her mind searching for suitable female names that she could adopt.“You don't remember your name?” Kate snapped, her voice tingling with i

**Valerie**Today I was wearing a low-cut U-neckline dress, and he kept looking at me like I was some meal.I shifted uncomfortably in my chair. “No,” I replied, a bit nervous. His shameless staring made me despise myself even more.How did I fall for a guy like this?Adam seemed to have noticed the awkwardness. “You don't have to be shy around me. You're my new secretary.”“I thought you already have a secre…” I tried to remind him, but he cut me off. “Nonsense!” He immediately rose to his feet. “Follow me.”He headed outside his office to the secretary's office, and I followed him closely behind. “Pack your things and go to the finance department. That's where you'll be working for now,” he ordered the woman, who was seated at the secretary's desk. She seemed to be in her late forties."But, sir, it was…” She started. “Amelia, I don't want to hear anything,” he interrupted with a harsh tone. “Just pack your things and leave.”Amelia glared at me, her jaw clenching visibly, bef

**Third person**Lucas turned to glare at him, shrugged, and continued walking.Valerie stood with her head poking out of the restroom, watching Lucas and the dirty looks he got as he strolled by. Her colleague’s obvious infatuation with him made her cringe.How could anyone be so captivated by someone they barely knew?Just then, Lucas ran his thick fingers through his jet-black hair. His side profile was striking, with a chiseled jaw and pointed nose.She swallowed hard. It seemed like he was deliberately drawing attention to himself.If only they knew how condescending and arrogant he truly was.“You sure look at him like you want to fuck him.”Valerie flinched and spun around, startled by the voice.She clutched her chest and released her breath when she saw the face. “Why did you do that? You scared me.”“I’m Tessa. I work in that office,” she said, pointing to the project design department.“Hi, Tessa. I’m Valerie.” She shook Tessa’s outstretched hand and moved toward the water

**Third person**Valerie's feet trembled as she made her way back to her chair.Amelia eyed her suspiciously and then scoffed in disbelief. “Don't you think you're being too dramatic for just a slap?” But Val remained silent, the content of the text message still echoing in her head. *You don't get to have a second chance with a new face and identity and then act this impulsively. Next time, think through your actions before you execute.*Her eyes darted around the office, searching for anyone watching her.Someone in the office right now knows who she is. The person had been observing everything. They'd seen her stand up and head toward Adam's office. But how could they have known her intentions? Maybe they'd guessed, pondering why she'd wanted to interrupt Adam's conversation with his wife just after the slap.The thoughts of this mystery person sent shivers down her spine.Whoever it was must have watched her so closely to be able to predict her actions.Valerie's anxious gaze
