All Chapters of My Bastard Boss Wants Me In His Bed: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

~~ETHEL~~The weekend felt like the shortest weekend of my life.Maya had stayed with me the entire time, pulling me into mindless reality shows and conversations about everything except Keanu. She'd known better than to bring him up after that first morning, and she'd refused to let me disappear into my own head.But Monday had arrived anyway.After changing into a cream-coloured peplum blouse and a pair of black flare pants, my hair pulled into a neat bun, I grabbed my bag and stepped outside.I was halfway down my walkway when I noticed them. Two men standing across the street in front of the house directly opposite mine. They were casually dressed in jeans and T-shirts, just standing there talking to each other.I slowed, my eyes narrowing slightly. I hadn't seen my neighbor since I came back. Just these two. And this was the third time I'd noticed them lounging in front of that house.They seemed entirely uninterested in anything going on around them, yet somehow never lef

~~ETHEL~~"Where could he be?"I paced in front of the conference room doors. The board members were already seated inside. I'd been waiting for Keanu to arrive because I didn't want to walk in alone, but he was nowhere to be found and wasn't answering his phone.My stomach twisted as I glanced at my phone again. Keanu was never late to something like this. Could it be that he wasn't coming because he already expected defeat?I was about to try calling again when I heard a familiar voice behind me."Ethel!"I turned to find Sharon hurrying down the hallway, her face lighting up the moment she saw me.She pulled me into a hug before I could say anything, her warm arms tightening around me. "Oh my God, it's so good to see you, Ethel."I managed a smile as I pulled back. "It's good to see you too, Sharon."She'd called me over the weekend after the explosion went viral on the news, and I'd reassured her then too, even though I'd felt anything but fine."What are you doing here?

~~ETHEL~~Stephen stumbled back, his hand flying to his cheek, his eyes wide with shock. I didn't have to be told this was the first time Catherine had ever hit him.Catherine was shaking, her chest heaving as she stared at him. "Say that again," she said, her voice trembling with fury. "Say one more word about my husband, and I swear to God—"She broke off, her hand still raised, her face crumpling. And for the first time since this entire nightmare began, I saw genuine horror and pain on her face. Like reality was finally crashing down around her.Keanu was silent, his expression unreadable, but I saw the way his hands clenched at his sides. He was just as affected, but he was showing more restraint than I'd ever seen him show.Stephen turned back to the room, his voice frantic now. "This doesn't prove anything. You gullible idiots can't possibly believe this bullshit. I'm being framed!"Keanu's nostrils flared, and his voice was ice when he spoke. "You can explain that to the polic

~~ETHEL~~Sitting in the back seat of my ride, I stared out the window, watching the city lights blur past, my mind replaying the chaos of the day. Stephen's arrest had gone viral by afternoon. Every news outlet, every blog, and every social media platform had been scrambling for the story.The narrative had shifted almost immediately. Suddenly, Keanu wasn't the incompetent CEO whose negligence had killed two people and who had ties to the mafia. He was the victim of a calculated sabotage by someone he trusted from his own family.Keanu had asked me to contact our PR team to draft a statement. Something that condemned the media houses for running with rumors and spinning false allegations about him, but also reassured investors and clients that Martell Corporation was stable.Within hours, the stock had begun climbing again. Now analysts were predicting a full recovery within the week.After days of all that pressure, Keanu must be so relieved now. He was probably in his penthouse or

~~ETHEL~~The office was still buzzing with news of Stephen's arrest the next morning. I'd barely made it into the foyer before colleagues I'd only ever exchanged a few words with were suddenly appearing, asking if I had any "tea" to share.The questions ranged from curious to intrusive. I deflected them all with polite smiles and vague responses. By the time I finally got to my desk and sat down, I was exhausted. My face hurt from all the forced pleasantness.Keanu arrived much later than his usual time. I heard the elevator ding and looked up to see him appear, his expression unreadable as always."Good morning, Mr. Martell," I said, keeping my voice professional."Good morning, Miss Sterling." His eyes met mine briefly before flicking away. "What does my schedule look like today?"I rattled off his appointments. He nodded once, then turned and walked into his office without another word. The door clicked shut behind him, and I exhaled slowly.I spent the rest of the morning reading
