All Chapters of THE TURNAROUND CEO: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Dami’s POVMy eyes widened as I stared at the laptop screen. My jaw literally dropped, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. The office suddenly felt smaller, hotter like the walls were closing in on me. My palms were slick with sweat as I scrolled through the email again, praying I was seeing wrong.“This can’t be happening,” I whispered, my voice shaking.Rhea stood beside me, her hands trembling. “I swear, Dami. I swear I don’t know how this happened,” she said quickly. “After lunch, I went back to my office, and this was the first thing I saw when I opened my laptop.”I could feel my heartbeat pounding hard against my ribs. “Rhea, who would do this?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. On the screen was the email that was short, professional, and deadly. Someone had written to one of our biggest partners, withdrawing from the joint project we won two weeks ago.We had already started the work, already spent millions of dollars in production and logistics. And now, the comp

DOMAN’S POVThe engine purred beneath my fingers as I drove home. I couldn’t stop humming along to the song playing on the stereo. I had just sealed the biggest deal of my life, a five million dollar digital network infrastructure contract with a clean two million as profit.All thanks to Dami.Her money, her two hundred thousand dollars was what made the proposal possible. Without it, I had still be chasing shadows. She had given it without hesitation, no questions, no conditions just trust.And yet here I was, plotting her downfall with Sophia. A bitter chuckle escaped me as I pulled into my driveway. For a second, I sat still, my hands gripping the steering wheel. She’s been nothing but good to you, Doman. The thought burned. My other side hissed back instantly, Good or not, that company should’ve been mine. It belonged to my late father so it was rightfully mine.I ran a hand through my hair, forcing a breath out. “Yeah, I’m doing the right thing,” I muttered to myself, even thou

Dami’s POVThe silence stretched between us like a taut wire, thin and ready to snap. I kept my eyes on Sophia, standing in front of me, her hands fidgeting on her lap. The air felt heavy, the kind that made every breath sound loud.“Sophia,” I said, my voice low but sharp. “I will ask again. What do you really want?”She blinked fast, pretending confusion. “I don’t understand what you mean.”I leaned forward. “Don’t you dare fake ignorance with me. Not today. I don’t have the patience for it.”Her throat bobbed as she swallowed but she still met my gaze. “Dami please, if you have something to say, say it. Don’t talk in riddles.”I didn’t answer. Instead, I turned Rhea's laptop around so she could see the email displayed on the screen, the one that nearly destroyed weeks of work and millions of dollars.Her eyes widened instantly. “What is this?”“You tell me,” I said, my tone cutting through the stillness.“I don’t know who did this,” she stammered, glancing from the screen to me. “I

Doman’s POVDami chuckled at what I said. "Nobody is taking me away, Doman."I shrugged. "I'm marking my territory."Her brows lifted. “Why all of a sudden? Aside from your usual jealousy of Axel taking me away from you?”I leaned against the doorframe, folding my arms. “Because we haven’t been spending time together. Because every time I blink, someone else is trying to get close to you. Because i want to be around you, in your space, in your skin. All the time.”Her lips curved into a smirk. “You sound insane.”“Maybe,” I said easily. “Maybe I am. But if insanity means wanting you without pause, then fine. I’ll own it.”She crossed her arms, eyes narrowing. “You don’t have to be dramatic, Doman. You could just say you missed me.”“I do,” I said without hesitation. “Enough to think about marrying you if that’s what it takes.”Her laugh burst out, light and mocking but edged with something nervous. “Marriage? That’s never happening.”“Why not?”“Because men change,” she said coldly.

Sophia’s POVThe moment we arrived at the company, I watched Dami walk straight into the CEO’s office, the one I admired for a while, the one I believed I would someday sit in.She didn’t even glance in my direction. She walked with quiet authority, her head held high. The sight made something twist inside me.I adjusted my blazer, forcing my chin up, pretending I wasn’t fazed. But inside, I was burning. I was the one who used to give orders here as her assistant. I was the one everyone used to look up to. And now, I was walking to my section like a regular employee.But before I even reached my desk, Rhea intercepted me. Her smile was too polished, her eyes too eager.“Sophia,” she said sweetly. “I was just about to come find you.”I frowned, suspicious. “Find me for what?”Her lips curled slightly. “Your position as head of staff has been withdrawn. You’ll be resuming as the new receptionist.”For a second, I thought I misheard her. “What?” I breathed out, my throat tightening. “Tha
