Ashley’s POV“This has gone on too far and for too long, Ashley. Can you see now? Can you see that it wasn’t an animal like you thought, but those same people? They’ve started entering the house. Who knows what's next they're going to do?” Janet asked me, beginning to cry.She kept glancing at the broken window, at the space where someone had stood long enough to throw something into our home, and even worse, where they had climbed in uninvited to leave a note.I hated the fact that my problems had turned her into a sniveling, terrified, and emotional wreck. This person was so different from the Janet I used to know.“So what do you propose we do, Janet? And don’t say go to the police. You already know I won't do that. You weren't there with me in that dungeon. You didn’t hear when those people threatened me never to go to the cops, no matter what. If you did, the thought wouldn’t even cross your mind.”“But you’ve flouted one of their instructions by coming back into town. You can al

Ashley’s POV“Well then, since you're pretending not to know what I’m talking about, Jeff, let me jog your memory a little. Claire here is mad because I stopped following the instructions that you told her to give to me.” I said to Jeff.“And what instructions might those be? The ones you have to follow so that you can get better at the job? Is it a crime for me to expect you to be good at the job that I'm paying you to do? Is it a crime that I asked one of the highest personnel here to mentor you personally? Do you know how many people would die for that opportunity? ” Jeff asked, his tone tight and offended.Claire cut in immediately. “You see, she can't even stand or obey leadership. I honestly don’t know why you're granting her this audience, Jeff. Just get security to bundle her right out of the premises.”Bitterness piled up within me, and I continued to talk to Jeff as though she hadn’t spoken. “No, I'm talking about the instructions you gave her to pile the work of ten people

Jeff’s POVI sat alone in my office long after Ashley left, staring at nothing, and replaying the past months since she started working at my company like a horror movie.Everything suddenly began to make sense, and all the missing pieces began to fall into place one after the other.For someone like me, who deeply prided himself on being a stellar boss and made the work environment so conducive for his employees that his company was one of the most sought-after by workers in the fashion industry, this was such a huge blow to my ego and principles.Claire cleared her throat, interrupting my thoughts. “Well, don’t tell me you believe all the nonsense that woman just spewed. She's a consummate liar.”I had even almost forgotten that she was still here. I stared at her, and she must have seen something in my eyes, because she looked away uneasily.“You may leave my office now, Claire. There’ll be an investigation into Ashley’s claims, and if it turns out she was right …” I let the words

Claire’s povI lowered my eyes in embarrassment. “No, Dad.""So what the hell are you talking about?""Em, well, we ... Jeff and I have never dated in the sense of the word. We’ve … done, er, … stuff together, but he never agreed to put a label on what we had.”“So you’ve been lying to us this whole time? You led us to believe that you were both in a committed relationship. Hell, you led us to believe that you both were well on your way to getting married!” My father said coldly.I hung my head and swallowed the bile in my throat. There was nothing I hated more than not having my father’s approval, which was why I lied to him about my relationship with Jeff in the first place.Jeff had always told me that he wished he would end up getting married to someone in the fashion industry, because then he could leave his fashion company to his wife to run, while he dealt with the other companies he had. So, of course, I had thought he was talking about me. Even if he wasn't, I was a perfect

Jeff’s POV“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I asked her incredulously.“What does it look like I’m doing, Jeff? I’m trying to remind you of what you’re missing, of course! I can make this right, you know. There's no need to throw away what we have on account of a nobody. You and I have always enjoyed each other. It would be a shame to stop now, wouldn’t you agree?” She smirked, taking a step forward.I didn’t move or say anything. I just stared at her. The pity I felt earlier had now turned to disgust.“Well?” She said sultrily, reaching her right hand expertly behind her back to unhook her bra.“Don't do that. Put your clothes back on, Claire,” I told her tiredly.She froze, clearly unable to believe her ears. “Jeff …”“Put them back on now. I have more than a few domestic staff living here, as you well know. Do you want someone to walk in on you naked? Also, I'm not interested, so that will be doubly embarrassing for you.”She hesitated, humiliation flickering across her f
