All Chapters of Pay for Your Lies: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

The office door was left slightly ajar. Inside, Julian Grant was claiming the woman in front of him with raw passion. She moaned, her cheeks flushed red with lust. I clenched my fists, my whole body trembling uncontrollably. Just last night, I had assured my mom that I was going to get married. But the moment I stepped into the office this morning, I found out that Julian had appointed someone else as the vice president—a position that was supposed to be mine. I hadn't even made it to my office yet—I came straight here, demanding an explanation. But as if taking the vice president position from me weren't enough, Julian had the audacity to make out with someone in his office. As the woman in front of him panted, she flashed a provocative smile at me. I wasn't familiar with her, and it took me quite a while to finally remember who she was. It was Zoey Jenkins, an intern from one of our partner companies. The only time we'd met was two months ago during a negotiation. S

Zoey clung to my arm, squeezing it as if we were close friends. But I could clearly see the taunting look in her eyes.I withdrew my hand and dismissed everyone else. Now, only Zoey and I were left in my office.As soon as everyone was gone, she immediately pulled her hand back and grumbled, "Ugh, you reek like an old woman."The moment her words fell, she clasped her hand to her mouth. Her gaze darted around wildly, feigning fear as she whimpered, "Ms. Jones, I didn't mean it that way! It's all Mr. Grant's fault… He's been saying that all the time, and I couldn't help it. You'll forgive me, right?"Malice flared in her eyes—she didn't look the slightest bit sorry. Seeing I was unfazed, Zoey pushed further. She slipped one side of her shoulder out of her shirt, revealing several hickeys as she continued smugly, "Ms. Jones, look how shameless Mr. Grant is. He totally wore me out. I'll have to cover these up for the entire week!"I really envy you. You can wear whatever you want—u

Frowning, Julian yanked Zoey's hand away from him. As the jeers around him drowned out the notification chime from his phone, a wave of frustration surged through his chest. He wasn't in the mood for Zoey's games. He glanced around, but I was nowhere to be seen. "Where's Noelle?"Winnie was just about to respond when Zoey suddenly lost her balance and collapsed into Julian's arms. Looking up at him with teary eyes, Zoey bit her lip and said, "Ms. Jones said she still had work to do, so she left early."Mr. Grant, my foot hurts. Can you take me home?"Zoey had crossed the line multiple times at the party tonight, yet Julian continued to indulge her. Everyone knew what kind of relationship they had, so no one dared to upset her. With all his attention drawn to Zoey's sprained ankle, Julian deliberately ignored the simmering frustration in his chest. After telling the others to enjoy themselves and that he'd take Zoey home, he scooped her into his arms and left the room. Th

Julian couldn't believe it. He reached out and tried to tear the marriage certificate apart, but I dodged him quickly. His face contorted in agony as he pleaded, "Noelle, don't marry someone else. I'm begging you. Didn't you say you were going to marry me?"I know you're angry that I gave the VP position to Zoey. I was wrong—I'll replace her right away. The position is still yours, okay? "Don't be mad anymore. We've been together for ten years, and I can't believe you'd just leave everything behind and marry someone else.""Enough!" Dad snapped. "Julian, you were the one who let Noelle down first. To think you have the nerve to say such shameless things at her wedding! Get out. Stay away from my daughter from now on!"Julian immediately swerved toward my dad and cried out, "Benjamin, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have broken my promise. I swear I'll treat Noelle well from now on. Please don't let her marry someone else—she won't be happy."I sneered. "Why would you say that? As if mar
