Lahat ng Kabanata ng RUINED BY MY BOSS AND HIS STEPSON : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Elara's POV“You heard that gunshot, right?” Jenny whispered to me while I cut the fruits. “Tell me I wasn't crazy.”“I don't know.” I shrugged dismissively.I heard the gunshot, but I didn't care. I didn't know what had happened, and I didn't want to know.What I wanted to know was what Luc intended to do to Silas for being so disrespectful.I kept apologising to Luc throughout the drive back home, when in reality, I was enraged that he hadn't done anything to him.I was one hundred percent sure Antoine would have cut off his dick the moment Silas laid eyes on me.Was I crazy for being grateful for Antoine's obsession with me?“How could you be this calm?” Jenny asked again. “Aren't you scared?”I didn't answer.You'd think she might have gotten the message and just shut the fuck up. Instead, she leaned closer, lowering her voice.“I heard the guys say that Antoine shot Luc and still rushed him to the hospital.”I froze.The knife stopped in the middle of cutting the fruit.I turned

Elara's POVJenny was crazy. I'd give her that.She spent the entire week coming up with different revenge plans, but unfortunately, Silas had returned to America before we could actually settle on one. But we found out that he'd lost a major deal in France. That was what had caused his sudden departure.We all knew who was behind it.Even from his hospital bed, Luc had still managed to prove to everyone that he didn't let people mess with him in his own city.Amaya traveled for some important business meetings, leaving us alone in the big mansion. I was glad she left because the more I got to know her, the creepier she became.One time, I asked her about Luc's health since he hadn't come back from the hospital, and she gave me this dead expression.I swear, it was like she was daring me, or she desperately wanted to start a war with me.My French was still rusty, so I didn't understand half of what she said to other people. But Jenny claimed she'd overheard Amaya ordering the executi

Antoine's POVThe room went silent immediately, as if someone had sucked all the air out of it, leaving everything to die.The silence was just how I liked it. But that wasn't what I wanted right now.I wanted to be part of the game.I wasn't ashamed to admit that I was obsessed with Elara. I'd tried to get her out of my head, but I couldn't. She'd put herself in there effortlessly, so she might as well become mine just as effortlessly.I turned to Jenny, who was still staring at me as if she were meeting me for the first time.“What gets me in the game?” I asked.She glanced around before clearing her throat. “I guess you're already in the game.”She leaned toward Arthur and whispered, “I have a feeling that if we don't let him in, he's going to suck my soul out of my body.”“And that feeling is right,” Arthur whispered back, his eyes still on me.I turned to Toby, who was still staring at me. His face gave nothing away, except for the general expression of shock shared by the rest

Luc's POVI was glad Antoine was on board with the plan, but I was also scared.Antoine was reckless, stubborn, and impatient. The last thing I needed was for him to lose his temper while dealing with someone like my father. I had no idea if things would work out the way I wanted them to, and I was prepared to accept that not every war could be won against my father.I had lived with the man long enough to know that.I'd tried to get Amaya to talk, but every attempt had hit a dead end. She had never been involved in Manon's murder. She knew about it because my father had mentioned it to her, and that was where her knowledge ended.Her father might know something, but I knew that man wasn't going to talk. Besides, I wasn't interested in people who knew about the murder. I wanted the people who had actually committed it.So, yeah, the marriage was nothing more than a plan to get justice for Manon and get the girl back.My father had forced me to leave the hospital. According to him, Lau

Antoine's POV I wasn't doing this for Luc.I was doing this for my mother.I never thought I'd live to see the day I'd work for Luc, let alone work with him. I still hated him for keeping everything from me and letting me spend years hating him without knowing the truth. Then again, things might not have been any different even if he'd told me everything.He'd given me one of the most ridiculous projects to work on. Nothing was too difficult for me, but I was absolutely not going to kiss some foreigners' boots just to close a stupid deal.And Luc knew that.I just knew he was doing this to get on my nerves and stall me. He'd better not think I'd let him destroy the people who killed my mother without me.I sank into the chair in the office and began going through my files. I was halfway through a document when the door opened and Elara walked in.She stopped at the doorway when she saw me.“God,” she sighed before turning to leave.“That might not be a good idea,” I called out, not b
