Semua Bab Love for revenge: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Without taking my eyes off him, I squint slightly and flash a small smile, which makes Kalet cross his arms and glare at me.“Don’t look at me like that,” Kalet grumbles after a few seconds.“I want you to keep an eye out for when the flowers for Giselle arrive and go upstairs to see her reaction,” I order, lacing my fingers together and resting my chin on them, “and obviously, you'll have to come back and report to me.”“Why do I have to go?” he complains.“Because I’m your boss, and I’m ordering you to.”“You could send the witch.”“She was a big help, so now it’s your turn.”“But I already helped you! Wasn’t I the one who went to find her? I bet it never even crossed your mind to ask her instead.”“You’re right about that, but now I need your help. I’ll double your salary this month if every time I send my wife a gift, you go down and watch her reaction and then come back to tell me everything in detail.”“Triple,” he counters.“Double. You’re not doing much—just going up and down,

Giselle I listen as Nathan confesses his so-called feelings, and I shake my head, refusing to believe a single word coming out of his mouth. How can he now say he’s falling for me when not long ago, he made it perfectly clear that no one would ever believe we’re lovers?With those words still echoing in my head, I start to believe he just wants to make a fool out of me—just like Oliver once did. And filled with fury toward both men, I retreat deep into myself and begin avoiding Nathan as much as possible, both at work and at home. I even go to bed earlier than him every night just to avoid being around him.Unfortunately, I’ve grown so used to having him close that I can’t sleep without him. Every night I toss and turn restlessly until Nathan finally walks into the room. Even if he keeps his distance, just having him near somehow calms me down.What I never expected—especially from someone as cold and imposing as him—was for Nathan to follow through on his threat to make me fall for

Oliver Weeks earlierI clutch the latest reports in my hands, crumpling the papers as my jaw clenches. I can’t believe our sales have been dropping for months—and after the convention, it’s painfully clear that Dubois is beating us with their new line of perfumes. And I have no doubt that idiot Giselle is behind them.“What are you doing here, son?” my father asks as he steps into my office. “I thought you’d be home with your wife and baby,” he adds with a smile the moment he mentions his grandson.“I can’t… I just can’t face them right now.”“Why? What happened?” he asks, startled.“Have you looked at the latest sales reports?” I hand him the documents I was just reading. His brow furrows the moment his eyes land on the graphs I’ve been analyzing.“Do we have anything in development we can launch to turn this around?”“No. Every product I had planned for this year—Giselle ruined them,” I growl, remembering how she mixed the samples I kept at home with acetone, making it impossible t

After my forced time off, I finally return to the office—a relief, honestly, since I was on the verge of going crazy spending so many hours locked up at home.“I’ll come with you,” I say to Giselle as the elevator stops at her floor.“That’s not necessary, you’re still recovering,” she replies gently.“Oh, but it is necessary, sweetheart,” I insist, already stepping forward to follow her.“Your doctor said not to push yourself. I’ll see you later,” she smiles and leans in for a quick kiss before I gently hold her back just a second longer to press my lips softly to hers.“You’ve changed a lot, sweetheart,” Kalet teases as the elevator doors close.“Shut up,” I mutter, clearly annoyed.“Why, darling?”I ignore his mocking tone and exit on my floor. Just as I head toward my office, a blonde steps right into my path.“Good morning, boss! So glad you’re back,” she beams, then her expression turns sour as her gaze falls on Kalet. “Though it’s less thrilling that your pet came with you.”“P

Nathan and I lock eyes for a few seconds, both unsure of what to say after everything Kalet just told us. It’s only when he takes my hand and leads me to where his car is parked, and we get in and start driving, that we finally talk about it."Did you know about Scarlett and Kalet?""No.""But how could you not know? Kalet’s your best friend.""Because after I turned twelve, my father and Iris sent me off to a boarding school in Spain. I lost contact with Kalet for years.""Wow… I didn’t know that," I murmur, a little embarrassed."Of course you didn’t, love. It’s not something I’ve ever told you. But yes, I was out of the country for several years, all because of Iris’s whims. Maybe she thought that in my absence, she could give my father other children and steal my inheritance. What she didn’t know is that almost everything actually belonged to my mother—the house, the company, the money.""Your mother?" I ask, surprised."Yes, my mother. She actually owned the company—seventy-five
