Chapter 132 — Alina’s POVThe CEO I woke up early the next morning, feeling lighter than I had in days. The message from the CEO last night was still fresh in my mind. You can resume work tomorrow.Those simple words had brought me so much peace and joy. I didn’t know who the CEO was, but whoever he was, he believed in me enough to bring me back. I wanted to make sure I didn’t disappoint him.I dressed neatly, choosing a simple cream blouse and a navy skirt. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my hair and touching the small necklace on my neck—the one Lucien bought me on our first anniversary.When I came downstairs, Lucien was sitting in the living room, reading something on his tablet. He looked up, and a small smile tugged at his lips.“You’re up early,” he said softly.I smiled. “I got a message from the CEO last night. They asked me to come back.”His expression didn’t change much, but his eyes softened. “That’s good news.”I tilted my head, trying to read his tone. “You d

Chapter 134 - Disbelief Alina’s POVI walked into our apartment, my heels clicking softly against the floor. The day still felt heavy in my chest , mix of shock, pride, and disbelief. I couldn’t help but smile, shaking my head slightly. Lucien had done it again. He always had a way to surprise me, but this… this was beyond anything I had imagined.I threw my bag on the couch and turned to him, trying to catch his eye. “You have a way to surprise me always, Lucien,” I said, my voice soft but full of awe.He looked up from the papers he was reviewing at the dining table. His sharp eyes softened when they met mine, and a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “I’ll always care for you,” he said quietly, almost like a vow. “And I won’t let anything hurt you, Alina. Not ever.”I felt my chest tighten. Those words carried the weight of all the fear he had hidden, the worry he’d swallowed, the sleepless nights he had endured to protect me. For a moment, I wanted to run to him, throw

Chapter 136 - Alina’s PovChange The morning sun spilled gently across the streets as I walked toward the company. The air felt crisp, carrying a faint promise of a new day. Today, I felt lighter, almost like a small weight had lifted from my chest. My new home, Lucien’s words, and the little victories over Dima had given me a sense of control I hadn’t felt in months.As I entered the office, I immediately noticed the change. People who had once barely glanced my way now smiled, greeted me politely, and even went out of their way to be helpful. The whispers I overheard yesterday had vanished, replaced by nods and soft “good mornings.”I could feel it immediately — their kindness wasn’t genuine. I knew it was because of Lucien. The moment they learned he was CEO, the entire dynamic changed. They respected him, so they respected me. But I wasn’t blind to it. I could read the way their eyes lingered a little too long, the way their smiles were just a little too polite. I could feel the

Chapter 138: The Family DinnerAlina’s POVI was sitting on the couch, half focused on the show playing on TV, when Lucien’s phone buzzed.He picked it up, his brows lowering slightly as his eyes scanned the message.“What’s wrong?” I asked, leaning forward.He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. “It’s a message from the family group chat. My father is hosting a dinner this weekend. Everyone is expected to come… with their partners.”I froze, my fingers curling against the couch. Family dinner.Those two words alone were enough to make my stomach twist.Lucien looked up at me, his expression gentle. “We’ll go together. It’s been months since the last one. I think it’s time.”I shook my head before he could even finish. “No. I’m not going.”He blinked, as if he didn’t hear me properly. “You’re not going?”“I said I’m not.” I turned my gaze away. “Everyone in your family hates me, Lucien. Except Isabella. I don’t see the point of going there and pretending everything is fine.”He le

Chapter 140- Tension Alina’s PovThe car rolled to a gentle stop in front of the Moretti estate. My heart thudded in my chest, loud enough I was sure Lucien could hear it. I glanced at him, taking in his calm, composed expression, and for a moment I wondered how he could always look so unshaken, even in front of the family that sometimes terrified me.“You look beautiful,” he said softly, leaning slightly closer. “They won’t be able to ignore you.”I smiled weakly, trying to swallow the nervous knot in my throat. “I hope so. I just… I don’t know if I can handle them,” I admitted quietly.“You will,” he said, his hand brushing lightly over mine. “And remember, I’m right here. Nothing will touch you.”I nodded, taking a deep breath, letting his presence steady me. Together, we stepped out of the car, and I tried to straighten my dress, glancing down at the sparkling jewelry he had insisted I wear. Every piece was heavy and luxurious, glinting in the late afternoon sun, and I felt a mix
