All Chapters of My boss’s brother wants me and so does my husband : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Lena’s POV Despite Adrian’s desperate pleas for me to stay back home and rest, rather than going to work, I paid no attention to him. Because I knew that whoever was behind what happened to me, is just trying to scare me, and given the fact that I’m all about discovering the truth behind my mom and the Blackwood family, I knew I couldn’t be swayed or scared into backing down. So no matter what, no matter how scared I am, I still won’t do that.The morning light filtered through the tall glass windows of the sleek lobby as I pushed through the revolving doors, my heels clicking against the polished marble floor. The air hummed with the familiar rhythm of corporate life phones ringing, muffled laughter from a group of colleagues huddled near the coffee station, and the soft whoosh of elevators carrying people. No one here knew about the ordeal I passed through the day before.I stepped into the elevator and headed to the last floor. When the doors finally opened with a gentle ding, the

Maya reached over and gently pried the phone from my fingers, her gaze locking onto the screen. She studied the image, her brow furrowing deeper with every passing second. “And what if you’re wrong, Lena?” she asked, in a low voice edged with urgency. “What if whoever is sending you this is somehow connected to the Blackwoods? We can’t entirely rule that out. Think about it—how do you set up a meeting with them, and the next thing you know, you’re kidnapped? That’s too much of a coincidence to ignore.”She paused, looking worried now. “I don’t think you should continue this, Lena. I just have a bad feeling about it all.”I shifted closer on the couch, taking her hand in mine. “I know, babe. And I totally get what you mean. Trust me, I’m scared too. But that’s exactly what they want—to scare me into backing down. I’m not going to let that happen. I’m going to meet this stalker and find out if they really have the answers I’ve been searching for. I promise I’ll take care of myself. I’ll

Lena’s POV Seeing Victoria at the office for the very first time actually got me more fascinated rather than worried. Maybe it was because I hadn’t seen her here before, or maybe it was just my subconscious trying to tone the whole thing down, making me forget that a deep, uneasy part of me knew she was the one behind my disappearance. The air in the building felt heavier the moment she stepped in, like the temperature had dropped a few degrees. But I pushed it aside, went back to work as usual, because I had a lot of work piled up for me, so I couldn’t really be bothered. After a while, I heard Ethan’s door open and close with a soft click that echoed down the hallway. That’s when I knew she was leaving. My heart picked up its pace, a mix of curiosity and something sharper pulling at me. I knew this was risky and stupid. I knew I shouldn’t approach a woman like her, and I certainly knew better than to bring a knife to a gun fight. But my legs moved before my brain could come up wit

“No freaking way!” Maya exclaimed, hopping up and plopping herself right beside me on the couch. “I knew it! I knew this was gonna happen sooner or later.” She said, crossing her arms grinning. I just rolled my eyes at her, shaking my head with a half-smile. “Yeah, yeah. Genius. Obviously you’re the world’s leading expert on men’s affairs.” We both burst out laughing. “So what was your answer? What did you say to him?” She asked, still chuckling.I raised an eyebrow, scoffing. “What do you think I told him? I said I wasn’t ready for that yet. That i was okay with our initial agreement.” She nodded firmly, giving me a thumbs-up. “That’s my girl!”“Of course,” I replied, leaning back. “Please, the last thing I need in my life right now is a man. And I’m in no hurry to find another.” I concluded, my face turning more serious now. Maya noticed immediately. “Okay, so what’s wrong? Why do you look like a kid who just got denied her favorite candy?” she teased gently, turning to face me f

“What do you wanna do? I mean, your mom specifically asked you to do nothing, but I know you. I’m certain you won’t stay put. Especially with the way your brows are already furrowed. That’s the same look you get whenever you’re thinking about something,” Maya teased, and I couldn’t help but laugh. This is what happens when you know someone too well.“You’re right about one thing,” I admitted, leaning back against the couch cushions. “I’m definitely not going to stay put. But now… I really know what to do, if I’m being honest. Do I talk to Adrian? Do I confront Victoria? Or do I just let it all be? I don’t even— I don’t even know what to do.” I said it exhaustingly, rubbing my temples as a dull headache started to build.She chuckled softly. “You know you don’t have to figure everything out right now. I think we’ve had one confession to last an entire week,” she teased, which made me smile a bit despite everything. “So we can take everything else one step at a time.”“Alright.” I nodde
