All Chapters of Her Game; His Obsession : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Jonathan’s POVI was trying to work on documents when Patricia walked in with the last person I expected to see today. My son Daniel.Patricia looked very worried when he entered behind her. “Mr. Hart, I tried to stop him, but he…”“It’s fine, Patricia. Hold my calls.”The moment we were alone, his entire demeanor changed. Gone was the smooth charm, replaced by barely contained anger.“You cut me off,” he said without even saying hello. “You fucking cut me off from my monthly allowance.”I leaned against my desk, crossing my arms. “You’re twenty-nine years old, Daniel. It’s time you learned to support yourself.”“Support myself? With what? You know the venture capital firm barely pays…”“Then find a real job. Or better yet, prove you can actually succeed at something without my money propping you up.”His face reddened. “This is bullshit. You owe me…”“I don’t owe you anything,” I said coldly. “I’ve given you every advantage, paid for the best schools, set you up with connections, an

Elena’s POVI walked into the Hart Global building Monday morning with my coffee in hand and my mind still replaying everything from the weekend.Jonathan and I had talked. Or rather, we’d started to talk before ending up in bed again. We still hadn’t figured out what we were doing, what this was between us, but we’d agreed to try. To see where this could go.The thought made my stomach flutter with nervous excitement.I stepped off the elevator onto our floor, already mentally going through my schedule for the day, when I saw Daniel. Walking through the lobby with another of his ridiculously shiny suits. And on his suit jacket was an employee ID card.I stopped dead in my tracks, my coffee nearly slipping from my hand.No. No, no, no. This couldn’t be happening.I moved quickly, grabbing his arm and pulling him into an empty corridor away from the main area.“What the hell is that?” I hissed, pointing at the ID badge.Daniel looked down at it, then back at me with a smug smile. “Thi

Elena’s POVAfter lunch, we walked back toward the Hart Global building. My stomach was full, and I felt more human than I had all day.But I was also exhausted.“I should get back to the office,” I said, rubbing my back tiredly. “Work on this a bit more before…”A yawn cut me off, so wide my jaw cracked.Ryan looked at me, with his eyebrows raised. “Can you please go home and rest? You look dead on your feet.”“I am actually tired,” I admitted, rubbing my eyes under my glasses. “But the work…”“No,” he said firmly. “How about you let me work on it a little more while you go home? Look at your watch. What time is it?”I glanced down at my wrist.8:47 PM.My eyes widened. “What? No. That can’t be right.”“When did we leave for lunch?”“It was… one-thirty, I think?”“Elena.” Ryan gave me a look. “We’ve been working for over seven hours straight. It’s almost nine at night. Way past closing time.”I stared at my watch again, feeling irritated with myself. How had I lost track of time so c

Elena’s POVI felt like death the next morning.My eyes were still puffy from crying. My head throbbed. And my body felt sluggish, like I was moving through water.The nightmare had kept me up most of the night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Jonathan’s face…cold, hurt, and betrayed.I dragged myself to work, my coffee doing nothing to wake me up. When I got to the building, Ryan was waiting by the gate.“Hi,” I started to say, but before I could finish, he grabbed my hand.“Come on!” He started pulling me toward the entrance.“Wait, what…”“No time. I have something to show you.”We ran through the lobby, past security, into the elevator. My heart was pounding, and not just from the running.“Ryan, what’s going on?” I asked, shocked.“I found something,” he said, his eyes bright with excitement. “Last night, after you left. I kept working on the file, and I found it.”“Found what?”“The connection. I was able to link the account to someone here in the office.”My stomach dropped.

Elena’s POVI saw it through the glass. I hadn’t even meant to look. I was walking back from the bathroom down the hall, my mind still on Marcus and the case and everything that had happened today, when movement in Jonathan’s office caught my eye.I stopped. Lisa was in his office, standing close to Jonathan, with her hands on his jacket. I watched her stumble, and I watched him catch her, I watched the whole thing unfold like a slow motion nightmare.And then she kissed him.My hand flew to my mouth.For a second I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. Just stood there in the hallway, frozen, watching through the glass.I didn’t wait to see what happened next.I turned and walked. Fast. Then faster. My heels clicking against the marble floor, each sound was too loud in the empty hallway.Don’t cry. Don’t you dare cry here. By the time I hit the stairwell door, the tears were already falling freely. I felt like a fool. I felt heart broken and shattered. Seeing his hands on another woman ki
