Chapter 31 Three Days

Clearing my name, reclaiming my patent?And Lysandro could help me with both?I was well aware that Catello wouldn't have thought of this himself. If Lysandro said nothing, the man would only provide money and nothing else.In other words, Lysandro's orders for Catello to either make me take the money or make me take a deal offering something else.Either way, he wanted me gone and even signed a black-and-white to never appear before him again.And I was convinced that had to be the case—from the perspective of an adult, his choice was logical.So, he had made up his mind to part ways with me.I took a deep breath, fighting back that uncontrollable, illogical sadness in me, and forced myself to consider the situation as a career woman on the verge of losing her job.That was when Catello pressed, "Please, Ms. Gaia. Say something, or I won't know what to tell the boss."My brow creased deeply.Yes, I understood that I had to take something from Lysandro just to put his mind at

Chapter 32 Luciano Knows

Catello, however, looked perplexed. Frowning, he asked, "NDA? What NDA? Wait, is this something you agreed with Mr. Godino?"I studied Catello's face and suddenly noticed that he was seriously wondering if he had messed up the task that Lysandro had assigned him.That was when I realized Lysandro wasn't demanding that I sign any NDAs.And that was weird—a legendary mob boss who had endless lovers actually wanted to make amends to me? Was he really that nice?Still, once Catello was positive he didn't misunderstand what I just said or forgot Lysandro's orders, he pursed his lips in embarrassment. "I won't lie—I do request Don Godino's other women to sign NDAs, but that isn't the Don's request—it's mine. It's to stop them from causing trouble, as I'm sure you can tell that the Don doesn't have time for such things. "You're the only exception, Ms. Miller. I'm sure that the Don is serious about you, so no NDAs for you." I gulped.Catello spoke with so much honesty in his words a

Chapter 33 A raise and a Promotion

My fingers clenched on my phone and trembled, as I knew that it was death if Luciano found out that I fucked Lysandro.In a split second, many thoughts cross my mind, including fleeing Montrelle City and the state of Yannon.Ding!That was when the chime of the elevator jolted me to my senses.I watched as my colleagues emerged from the elevator, in their white coats, all of them always looking so confident and professional.Some patients followed, smiling at them with trust and admiration.As I watched those white-clad figures disappearing into the distance, I knew that they were going back to work.It was like nothing that happened right here in this hospital would affect their job performance, as they were just that professional.There was meaning in their existence, and I wanted to live like that too.Before I knew it, my fingers stopped trembling as a powerful conviction swelled, drowning out my hesitation and panic. I would not run away.This was reality, so I must re

Chapter 34 You Have Talent

Seeing that I was silent and presuming that I wasn't pleased with his arrangement, Henry sat down beside me.With patience, even hope, he said, "If you don't think that's enough, you need to just say it. Don't worry, Yannon Memorial Hospital has always had a reputation for fairness, and we'd never turn our backs on talents."I took my deep breath, praying that Catello didn't threaten Henry mafia-style, instead enticing him with some offers that were monetary or business in nature.Otherwise, the only option for me was to resign.I thought about what I should say, and even as Henry kept staring at me eagerly, I calmly looked up and met his gaze."Sir, I understand that you're giving me special treatment because of Mr. Bandini. Therefore, can I at least hear what he told you before I accept this promotion?"Henry did a double take, seemingly surprised by my question.Still, he soon laughed in relief as he understood. "Don't worry—Mr. Bandini only brought me the patent stolen from

Chapter 35 Never Agreed to a Break-up

The promotion contract was undoubtedly worth way more than a king's ransom—it was like a heavy, sparkling trophy sculpted out of pure gold that acknowledged my twenty years worth of research.Even as I held on to it firmly, I swore to myself that I'd never fall short of the expectations listed here, and that I'd work exponentially harder to answer to the honor that this hospital showered me with.Indeed, I didn't even care that Henry tried to fire me—it was human nature to suck up to prioritize self-interest and avoid anything that affected it adversely. I was all too willing to forget the unpleasantness, be grateful, and work hard for our mutual interests in the coming days.My heart was still racing in excitement long after I left Henry's office, until I reached the elevator, and my phone chimed again.Naturally, it was yet another text from Luciano's new number, which annoyed me to no end.I tapped on it to see the single line of capitalized text: [HOW MUCH LONGER?]I could

Chapter 36 This Is the Last Time

My eyes were wide with shock and disbelief.If he thought we had yet to break up, he had even less business here to tell me such things.I was now really curious about what he was thinking, or if his brain functioned like a normal person's at all.Luciano was still frowning as if hurting. "Gaia, you shouldn't get petty over your sister out of jealousy. I cheated on you—if you want, you can make a fuss or whatever, and I'll do whatever I can to make amends, but…"He trailed off as he appeared hesitant to continue.However, that was when Cecilia sniffled loudly, and I watched as his hesitation turned to righteous chivalrous rage again.Clenching his knuckles, he growled, "Cecilia is innocent. Anyway, I want you to stop hurting her." I couldn't even act surprised—there was only pity in my eyes.In my mind, Luciano used to be gentle, polite, but most of all, sharp and with a keen sense of judgment.Even after he cheated on me, the only thing I could argue against was the act alon

Chapter 37 Giving up on Gaia

Lysandro's POVI was waiting for the red light.They were planning to discuss the stem cell anti-cancer agent party at the Angel Heart club tonight.As the biggest investor in the project and the one person who had the money to fund the development and market it, those fossils naturally wanted me there.I certainly didn't want to go at first—first of all, I despise socializing with those nerds.Secondly, they had already researched the project themselves and decided that Cecilia Miller was a loser. Even though she owned the patent, she was not suitable to lead the project or be the endorser to push it to a wider market.And from a completely professional perspective, I trusted the fossils' judgment and believed it was unnecessary to waste further time on the project by keeping Cecilia. That was also taking into account the fact that she was Gaia's sister, something which Catello had unexpectedly discovered later on while doing a background check on Gaia.After all, I had prior e

Chapter 38 Important Occasion

Gaia's POVI didn't know that Luciano had the balls, as he had never forced anything against my will before.My mind went blank when his lips touched mine, and my entire body was so overcome by shock that I couldn't even think straight enough to push him away.Just as I stiffened, I found myself looking down the street, somehow noticing a glare on myself from a distance.It jolted me like an electric shock as I saw Lysandro in the backseat of a Rolls-Royce.His dark green eyes were flaring with rage like an alpha wolf in the darkness of the forest, cold and glued to my face.At that moment, I was completely petrified. I wanted to push Luciano away and run to Lysandro's car and maintain my innocence.Fortunately, before that destructive thought took root, Luciano breathed softly and lustfully into my ear, "Gaia…"It jolted me to my senses, making me remember who I was kissing.And the other person didn't just leave my heart racing—he made me feel embarrassed like I had betray

Chapter 39 A Bigwig Is Coming

I could swear to any higher power right then that I didn't want to do anything, other than to return to my tiny apartment and get some proper rest.Even so, Henry was pressing urgently, "I'm really sorry about this—I wouldn't want to bother you after work, but when I told those old-timers you're the real patenter of the stem cell anti-cancer agent, they quickly called for this meeting to meet you as soon as possible.""But I've already left work. You can't force me to work overtime." I sighed wearily.I understood what he wanted me to do, which I should, logically speaking.After all, it was my patent—my honor.But I was just too tired to care.And with all the things that had happened today, I needed a quiet place for some proper introspection.Henry, however, wasn't giving up. "Please, this is a private gathering—just pretend you're doing me a favor, alright? We're friends, aren't we?"Whenever did we become friends? The man was the boss of my boss—the highest authority of

Chapter 40 We Meet Again

Fortunately, I was wearing a thick pair of jeans and a cream-colored jacket, hiding the mess perfectly.Still, Lysandro was all I could think about, as I couldn't help wondering what he was thinking when he saw me kiss another man.And could he have noticed that it was Luciano just from his back?It would be easy if Lysandro thought it were another man, as I could convince myself that it wouldn't affect what happened between us—even if he considered me an unseemly woman, as it was over between us anyway.But if Lysandro knew it was Luciano, things would get really bad.After all, I doubted that the ruthless mob boss would be so merciful—not when I was fooling around with him and his son, and he had sufficient reason to suspect that I was using him like a tool.If anything, I think the punishment would be much scarier if he had gotten out of his car when he saw us.While my mind was a mess, I found a silver lining as I considered how Lysandro would punish me—my fear trumped over
