9 Chapters

Chapter 1

On my way to work, I came across a livestream from an influencer who posted about her relationship, tagged at my company’s location.Her username was “The Boss’s Sweetheart”, and she was sharing stories about her office romance with the powerful CEO of a major corporation.She had tagged my company, so the “CEO” she was talking about was my husband, wasn’t it?I pulled over to the side of the road and clicked into her profile. Every video she had posted was part of a wedding-planning diary about her and this CEO. The man never showed his face, but his build looked almost exactly like my husband’s.So I left a comment in the livestream: “I heard the CEO of Gibson Corporation has been married for a long time. So what does that make you...?”The next thing I knew, I got a notification saying I had been muted. The streamer instantly burst into tears, looking fragile and wronged.“The internet isn’t lawless. Are you calling me his mistress?”“Guys, I only started making videos becaus

I had barely sat down at my desk when the influencer who called herself Sweetheart recognized me.She tossed a stack of files onto my desk. “Go get me a coffee.”I stared at her in silence. Her name was Tessa Quinn, and she looked uncannily like me. She was exactly Eugene’s type. Could my husband, the man who claimed to love me so deeply, really be keeping a mistress at the office behind my back?I didn’t want to alert her. Even if I was going to divorce him, I needed to gather evidence first.“I want it hand-ground, got it?”One of the coworkers nearby jumped in. “Are you deaf? Get moving. Being able to bring coffee to the future Mrs. Gibson should be an honor.”I forced myself to stay calm, made the coffee, and handed it to her.Just as I turned to leave, she suddenly let out a sharp scream.“Anna Fisher, what the hell are you doing?”I turned around. The coffee that had been perfectly fine a second earlier was now spilled all over her designer bag.The coworker behind he

The villa was actually in my name. Had Eugene really just handed it over to her?I couldn’t sit on it any longer, so I found a moment to call Eugene.He picked up almost right away. “Hey, honey. Miss me already?”“Yeah. I started interning at the company, but I haven’t told anyone who I am.”Eugene sounded surprised. “Why didn’t you tell me? I could’ve arranged a position that suited you better.”“Is there anything you want to tell me?” I asked.He never mentioned Tessa. Instead, he gave me his usual update on work, told me how the deal was going, and even sent me his flight details.But almost right after that, Tessa got a call too. One look at the panic on her face told me all I needed to know. So there really was something going on.*Soon enough, the weekend arrived.I followed Tessa into the villa. She moved around like she knew the place by heart, which meant she had definitely been here more than once.The staff had even prepared dinner for her ahead of time.Holding

Tessa took the stick from her and brought it down on Dot, beating her until she cried out over and over.“Tessa, what are you doing? That’s my dog!”I tried to run over and save Dot, but several of the women grabbed me and held me down.“Your dog?” one of them sneered. “Like you’ve ever even been to this villa before. You like that dog so much? Then I’ll make sure you get to watch her die.”That was when I truly panicked.I didn't care what happened between me and Eugene at that moment.But Dot was innocent. She had done nothing wrong. She couldn’t get hurt because of this.I screamed for help. “Somebody help! Mrs. Wilson! Let me go! Leave Dot alone!”Tessa kicked Dot hard. “Still keeping up the act? Fine. I’m going to beat this dog to death today. What are you going to do about it?”She raised the stick again, clearly about to go for one last blow, when Mrs. Wilson came hurrying over.“Oh no, miss, you can’t hit that dog!”Mrs. Wilson snatched the stick out of Tessa’s hand,

The second Tessa saw who was at the door, she let go of me. Then she shot the two women beside her a look, and one of them immediately shoved a rag into my mouth.“Drag her downstairs and keep her behind that door for now.”“And remember, if anyone says a word in front of Mr. Gibson, you know what happens.”They all nodded quickly.“We won’t say anything.”“No one else was here today except us.”I struggled with everything I had, but there were too many of them. Before I could even get a good look at the man who had just come in, they dragged me behind the door.They tied me to the stair railing, and Tessa slapped me hard across the face.“If you make a sound, I’ll kill you.”Then they left, and the back door swung shut.It wasn’t fully closed, though. I could still see part of what was happening outside.Tessa instantly switched back to her usual sweet, innocent act and ran straight into the man’s arms, looping her arms around his neck.“Honey, weren’t you overseas? Why di

Chapter 6

Seeing that he still looked unhappy, a few of the coworkers who knew how to read the room quickly jumped in to defend Tessa.“Mr. Gibson, you have no idea how out of line that crazy woman was. Things have already gotten this big online, and she still had the nerve to come work at Gibson Corporation. She was obviously trying to get under Tessa’s skin.”“Exactly. Tessa was nice enough to help her sort out her files and personally bring them over, and she repaid her by spilling coffee all over that limited-edition bag you gave her. Even then, Tessa didn’t lose her temper. She’s already been more than kind.”The more they talked, the more worked up they got. From where I sat tied up behind the door, I listened to them turn the truth completely upside down.I couldn’t just sit there and wait for whatever came next.Tessa thought her boyfriend really was Eugene Gibson, and she clearly believed he could cover up anything. Who knew what she might try to do to me?Then I suddenly remember

Chapter 7

He kept calling out, sounding more and more confused. I wanted desperately to answer him, but I could not make a sound.I started stomping as hard as I could, trying to get his attention.Leo looked around. “Did you hear that?”Tessa forced a laugh. “No. You’re probably just tired. I didn’t hear anything. Maybe we should head back.”“Maybe.”And just like that, Leo hung up.I refused to give up and called him again.Leo wasn’t a stupid man. Otherwise, Eugene would never have kept him so close.Sure enough, the second time he picked up, he realized something was off.“Hello? Are you in trouble?“If you are, press any button three times.”Relief hit me so hard I almost cried. I quickly pressed a button three times.The second he heard it, Leo shot to his feet. “You guys go ahead and eat. My friend’s wife might be in trouble. I need to go find my friend.”He shoved back his chair and strode off, ignoring Tessa when she tried to stop him.But halfway there, he suddenly stoppe

Chapter 8

Leo came running toward me, and by the time Tessa tried to stop him, it was already too late.He threw the door open and found me there, gagged and tied to the stair railing.“Anna?”He spun around, furious. “What the hell is this? I’m asking you, what the hell is going on? Didn’t you tell me no one else was here?”Tessa burst into tears on the spot. “You know her? Honey, you know Anna? I didn’t know that. She kept insulting me and making things hard for me, so I just...”She reached for Leo’s arm, but he shoved her aside.What she didn’t know was that Leo was even more scared than she was.Was he going to kill me to silence me once and for all? He knew Eugene too well to ever dare.But how was he supposed to explain this to Eugene now?After a brief pause, Leo snapped and slapped Tessa hard across the face. “I’ll deal with you later!”Then he turned back to me. “Anna, you’re hurt. I’m taking you to the hospital.”He untied my legs, but he left the rope on my wrists and the

Chapter 9

Over the next few days, while I was recovering, I deliberately leaked information to Tessa that I was married but seeing another man on the side.Just like I expected, she had been following me for days.At first, I had wanted nothing more than to shove proof of my marriage in her face and make her see who I really was.But I had changed my mind.Wasn’t she good at manipulating people online? Then I was going to make her pay for it the same way. And I wasn’t breaking my promise to Leo either. I was going to force her to make the first move.The next evening, I left the mall and went to meet Eugene. Sure enough, a black Mercedes followed me all the way to a private club.I deliberately went into the restroom first. Tessa followed me in and she was already livestreaming. After I met up with Eugene, I pulled up her stream on a burner account and watched everything unfold in real time.Hiding in the restroom, she lowered her voice and said to the camera, “Guys, I ran into that cra
