All Chapters of Tempted by my Godlike boss: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

ROSELINE'S POVI wrapped myself up with my hands, tears slowly streaming down my eyes as I kept shaking. The silence coming through the speaker felt unbearable, every second that past felt like a stab in the chest as I waited for something, anything, to tell me Florian was still alive."Florian, are you there?, can you hear me?" Gabriel asked again, his voice strained as he tried the device once more. "Florian, please, answer me."Nothing but static crackled back.Gabriel pulled out his phone quickly, dialing one of the soldiers who had gone in with Florian. The call rang once, twice, three times before finally dropping entirely. The guy didn't pick.My heart sunk in my chest, I tried not to imagine the worst. Maybe it was just a minor issue they were having with communication and nothing more."The network's unstable this deep into the building," Gabriel muttered, trying another number, then another, each attempt met with the same frustrating silence. "I can't reach anyone.""Gabrie

ROSELINE'S POV"Hey," I tapped Florian's shoulder softly. He turned, jolting up in surprise.It seemed he was lost in thoughts."What's wrong?" I asked."Nothing, your mother's just really beautiful," he said, moving away from the photos."She was," I said softly, glancing toward the picture he'd been staring at. "I don't remember her much, honestly. I was really young when she passed."Florian studied me for a moment, something gentle in his gaze. "You never really talk about her.""There's not much to say," I said, forcing a small smile. "I'll be right back, let me get my dad settled in his room."I walked up to where my father had drifted off in his favourite arm chair, he was sleeping so peacefully It almost felt really bad to wake him up.I tapped his shoulder gently."Dad," I said softly. "Let's get you upstairs to bed."He moved slightly, blinking before smiling a little, a tired smile. "Was I asleep long?""A little while," I said, helping him stand carefully, supporting him a

FLORIAN'S POV…I excused myself, Mr Moore nodded, staring at me, a bit confused.My legs moved really fast, going after the strange woman, there was something off about her and I intended to find out what.I wasn't going to leave any stone untouched this time.I saw her standing at the end of the hall but she was talking to someone. He was flanked in a tailored suit. Even from across the room you could see the expensive gold watch on his wrist, his hands wrapped warmly around her shoulders like he was comforting her.I guess they were probably married or dating because the way he looked at her was something entirely different.“I'm sorry for your loss, my boy”Mr Harvey said from behind me, I turned towards him but not fully. My eyes were still on the strange woman like if I looked away she would disappear.“Thank you Sir,”I said.“Do you by any chance know who that is?”I asked.Mr Harvey was a very social man and a prominent business tycoon so if anyone was going to know who she was t

FLORIAN'S POV I bolted upright, chest heaving as cold sweat stocked to my skin, a few heavy beads dripping from my forehead.It was all just a bad dream, I placed my hand on my chest, it was beating really fast.The dream had felt so real.I looked at the note sitting peacefully on my nightstand, the note Mara sent to me with the location and everything.I heard a loud knock on my door and that's when I realised it was morning already, I sluggishly stood up from my bed and walked to the door and opened it.It was one of the maids.“You have a visitor Sir”she said.I arched my brows, I wasn't expecting anyone today and definitely not this early.I nodded for her to leave, the moment the door clicked close.I wore sweat pants and a random shirt.I got down the stairs and my eyes landed on the dark haired woman, she smiled the moment she saw me.I stared at her, surprised.“How did you know I lived here?” I asked."I have my ways," she said.She walked over to my couch, sank into the cu

FLORIAN'S POVI sat in the car a little longer, going through the files page by page, my eyes moving faster now. I was hungry for every little detail hidden inside those papers.The bank records were the clearest part. Large amounts of money, sent out from an account with Adrian's name on it, moved into smaller accounts, then split again into even smaller ones. Like someone trying hard to hide where the money was really going."These transfers," I said, pointing at one page, "they all happened close to the same time.""Yes," Mara said. "One week before the fire. He paid three different men that week. Small amounts at first, then one big payment two days before it happened."I stared at the numbers, my jaw tightening. It was one thing to suspect something, to feel it deep in your gut for years. But it was another thing to see it laid out plainly like this, cold numbers proving what my heart had already known."He planned this so carefully," I muttered."Adrian doesn't do anything ca
