All Chapters of Tempted by my Godlike boss: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Roseline's POV…I watched the ambulance drive off into the darkness. The flickering lights going on and off behind it.I closed my eyes slowly as the tear drop rolled down my cheek. Florian had a panic attack and fainted. Maybe it was due to past childhood trauma, he didn't like fire, he was afraid of it.I noticed the way his eyes always flickered whenever he's close to the gas, the way beads of sweat rest around his head, and the way his hands shake. Despite being a chef, he still can't hide his phobia for fire. I always try to ignore it, but then I can't."Roseline, come on, we need to follow the ambulance," Gabriel said, his voice pulling me out of my thoughts. His car was already parked close by, the engine still running."Right," I said, quickly wiping the tears from my face and hurrying toward the car.We drove in silence for most of the way, the weight of everything that had just happened felt heavy on both of us.My mind kept replaying the moment Florian collapsed, the way hi

FLORIAN'S POVI played the call recording for the umpteenth time, listening to the voice, deep and husky. It was the person that called me a few days ago, telling me he didn't like that I was looking for answers.I'd already sent it to a friend who worked in investigating and reviewing encrypted files, including audio files, hoping they could clean it up very well enough to identify something useful or find out who was the voice in the recording, but the results hadn't come back yet. In the meantime, I couldn't sit around waiting for it. Not when Roseline's safety was now clearly at risk too.Fredrik Lance. That was the name Leo had given me, the young man in the photograph who'd once been close to my parents' restaurant, the same person Marcus had pointed his picture at the hospital. If anyone could shed light on who might be behind all of this, it had to be him.I finally tracked down his workplace, a small maintenance office attached to the hospital where Marcus had been staying. I

FLORIAN'S POV"Your father is a twin," he said.I paused at the spot, my body not responding immediately, my head still spinning at the information Marcus just revealed.Gabriel nodded for him to go on.He continued. "Your grandfather, my father, had fortunes. He owned mansions and houses around the world. He left it all for his children. So me and my brother had a fortune, but he left the greater part for your father, and an island he owned, he left it all for your father because he was older and obviously my father loved him more. His twin brother refused to accept that. He said our father's will was wrong. After our father died, the will was hidden from us, so we had to search for it and find it."Marcus paused for a while to catch his breath."His twin became his rival and enemy. They fought for years until it started becoming really intense. He is responsible for the death of your parents. My brother killed his twin.""Wait," I said, my mind struggling to keep up. "You're saying

ROSELINE'S POV"Florian, you can't go," I said immediately, standing up quickly, panic gripping my chest. "This is clearly a trap.""She's right," Gabriel said, stepping closer. "Whoever's behind this wants you alone, no protection, no backup. That's exactly how they'll get to you.""I don't have a choice," Florian said, his voice tight with desperation. "They have Marcus. If I don't go, they'll kill him.""And if you do go, they might kill you both," I argued, my hands trembling as fear moved through my body. "Florian, please, think about this. We need a plan, not just walking blindly into whatever they've set up."He ran his hands through his hair, clearly torn between the urgency to save his uncle and the reality of the danger waiting for him. "What am I supposed to do then? Just sit here while they hurt him?""We call the police, quietly, without alerting whoever's watching," Gabriel said. "We figure out exactly where this location is first, gather information before rushing in

FLORIAN'S POVThe gunshot sounded again, this time closer, and soon it sounded like the record store was surrounded.Adrian stared at me, his eyes burning with rage."Where is Marcus?" I asked."I don't have him," he said, his voice almost a whisper, but I could still hear it clearly."You're going to regret this," he said before leaving, slipping quickly through a hidden door behind the shelves before I could stop him.His armed men stayed to fight, and soon the men Gabriel called flooded the place, gunfire erupting all around me. I ducked behind the counter quickly, my heart pounding wildly as bullets shattered glass display cases nearby, records and vinyl covers scattering across the floor in the chaos."Florian, get down!" one of Gabriel's men shouted, pulling me further behind cover as the fight intensified.I watched as trained soldiers exchanged fire with Adrian's men, the sound deafening in the small space, smoke and dust filling the air. It felt like it lasted forever, though
