Chapter 81: Nasty Whispers

MiaDespite the board's warning, I refused to let the scandal define me.I couldn’t let their threats ruin everything I had built. The very next morning, I walked into the office, held my chin high, and immersed myself in my work. I was determined to remind everyone in this building exactly why I was chosen for this project in the first place. I spent hours reviewing the blueprints, tightening the launch schedule, and moving from meeting to meeting with absolute focus.My professionalism didn't go unnoticed. By mid-afternoon, several senior staff members were openly praising my dedication, pulling me aside to thank me for keeping the team steady during the chaos.Slowly, the atmosphere began to change. The nasty whispers in the hallways started fading into the background, replaced by actual talk about the project's success.For the first time in days, a sense of relief washed over me. I finally felt like I was taking back control of my life.But the peace didn't last long.During lunc

Chapter 82: Subdued

MiaAfter work, I drove over to Jim's school to pick him up.The moment he spotted my car, he sprinted across the sidewalk, his heavy backpack bouncing against his shoulders. He threw the back door open and climbed inside, his face flushed with excitement."Mom! Guess what?" Jim shouted, grinning from ear to ear as he buckled his seatbelt.I laughed, looking at him in the rearview mirror as I pulled out of the parking lot. "What happened, sweetie?""Damon called me earlier!" Jim excitedly told me, bouncing in his seat. "He said if his work allows it, he's going to come to my big class presentation next week! He said he wouldn't miss it for the world!"A sudden, sharp knot formed in my stomach, but seeing the bright, unfiltered joy in my son's eyes made me smile despite myself."That's wonderful, Jim," I murmured softly, swallowing the heavy lump in my throat.Even though my heart was still confused and guarded, hearing how happy Damon made my son brought a warm, bittersweet ache to my

Chapter 83: Board's Utimatum

MiaFollowing the board's ultimatum, the company hosted a high-profile corporate gala.The entire event was designed to project absolute unity and protect the company's fragile reputation. But the board had made one strict, non-negotiable demand: I couldn't go with Damon.Instead, they insisted I attend as Adrian’s partner.I agreed. I didn't have a choice. The stakes were too high, and the project's entire future was hanging by a thread. I couldn't let my personal feelings ruin everything we had worked so hard to build.When we arrived at the grand ballroom, the atmosphere was suffocatingly grand. Crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceilings, and soft jazz music floated through the air, masking the dangerous corporate politics playing out beneath the surface.Surprisingly, the tension between Adrian and me was actually okay.We weren't fighting, and he wasn't making bitter comments about Damon. We kept things strictly professional, moving smoothly through the crowd, shaking hands,

Chapter 84: Built On Lies

MiaWhen my eyes slowly opened, the first thing I saw was a blinding expanse of morning light.I was lying on a cloud-like bed dressed in crisp white sheets. I blinked rapidly, my head pounding with a severe, throbbing ache right behind my temples. My mouth felt dry, like sandpaper.I pushed myself up onto my elbows, looking around the room, and my heart instantly leaped straight into my throat.This wasn't my bedroom. The room was vast, minimalist, and modern. Huge, stunning floor-to-ceiling windows lined the entire outer wall, offering a breathtaking, dizzying view of the city skyline stretching out below. Polished concrete, sleek dark wood, and minimalist furniture gave the space a high-tech solitude.Panic surged through my veins like ice water. I scrambled backward on the bed, pulling the duvet tightly up to my chest.*Where am I? What happened last night?*Before the panic could consume me, the heavy frosted glass door of the master bedroom slid open.Damon walked in.He had d

Chapter 85: Dark Past

Damon I sat on the bed, staring at my hands as the suffocating silence settled around us.For years, I had kept the darkest parts of my life locked away behind iron doors, buried so deep that even I tried to pretend they didn't exist. I had built a ruthless, unyielding armor around myself to survive. But looking at Mia—seeing the shock and vulnerability in her eyes after everything she had just been through—I knew the time for hiding was over.If I wanted her trust, if I wanted her to understand the war we were fighting, she needed to know the whole truth.I took a slow, heavy breath, feeling the cold weight in my chest."Everyone on the outside looked at my family and saw a fairytale," I started, my voice dangerously low, stripped of all emotion. "They saw my father, a powerful man who lost his wife, remarrying a graceful, sophisticated woman to give his young son a proper mother. On the surface, Mara and I were supposed to have this warm, harmonious relationship. The media loved i

Chapter 86: Unprofessional?

Mia Hearing Damon’s childhood torment broke my heart into a million painful pieces.I sat there on the edge of the cloud-like bed, staring at him through a blinding thick blur of tears. My chest ached with an intense, pain, so heavy it felt like a physical weight pressing down on my ribs. I pictured a tiny, terrified seven-year-old boy, trapped in a pitch-black, airtight utility closet, beating his small knuckles raw against the door while the woman who was supposed to protect him waited for him to suffocate.A wave of overwhelming, crushing guilt washed over me, making it hard to breathe.How could I have ever doubted him? How could I have let Mara and Athena’s subtle, venomous lies get inside my head? I had allowed myself to be manipulated by the very monsters who had spent his entire life trying to ruin him. I had let them make me believe he was the villain, when all along he was just a survivor fighting every single day to stay afloat in a sea of snakes.Every sharp word I had

Financial Records Part 11

Mia The ride to the company headquarters was filled with tense silence.By the time I pushed open the glass front doors of the building, a white-hot anger was burning through my veins. I didn't hide my face, and I certainly didn't sneak in through the basement. I held my head high, my heels clicking sharply against the polished floor as I marched through the main lobby.The atmosphere inside was instantly heavy.The moment I walked past the front reception desk, the quiet hushed whispers started. Coworkers stopped mid-sentence, turning their heads to stare at me. I caught snippets of their venomous murmurs as I passed the cubicles—*“She just disappeared in the middle of the gala,” “So unprofessional,” “they said she left because she couldn't handle the board's pressure,” “I heard she was stumbling around drunk before she ran off.”*My fists clenched so tightly at my sides that my nails bit into my palms.*Unprofessional? Drunk?* They had no idea I had been drugged. They had no idea

Paranoia

Damon I stared out the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, watching the early morning fog roll over the city skyline.The corporate storm brewing at headquarters was growing more vicious by the hour. The board was breathing down our necks, Mara was lurking in the shadows spinning her poisonous lies. But looking at Mia—seeing the exhaustion in her eyes and the pale strain on her face—I knew they couldn't stay trapped in this fortress any longer.They needed air. They needed safety.Without giving the board or Mara a single second to track our movements, I packed a few bags, ushered Mia and Jim into the back of my heavily tinted SUV, and drove us far away from the city.My private lake house was hidden deep within a dense pine forest, perched right on the edge of a crystal-clear, mirror-like lake. It was a place known to nobody in the world—a sanctuary I had bought years ago under a shell company, disconnected from the dark history of my family home.The moment I killed the eng

Chapter 88: Playing Both Sides

Adrian I paced back and forth across the polished floor of my private office, my breath coming in short, ragged hitches.My chest felt suffocatingly tight. Sweat was slicking the back of my neck, and no matter how many times I adjusted my silk tie, I felt like I was choking.Everything was spiraling out of control.My hands were shaking as I ran them through my hair, gripping the strands tight enough to feel the sharp sting. This wasn't how it was supposed to go. I was supposed to be the one making the moves, calculating the steps, pulling the strings behind the scenes to get Mia away from Damon. Instead, I was being dragged into a nightmare I never agreed to.I remembered the look on Mia’s face when she confronted me earlier in my office—the disgust in her eyes, the cold certainty in her voice when she told me she had been drugged and almost hauled away like cargo into an unmarked car. She looked at me like I was a monster. A pathetic, incompetent fool.And the worst part? She was

Chapter 89: The File

MiaWhen we came back, I showed Damon the file that was kept on my office table.Damon also showed me what was on his phone. After the alarming security breach alert earlier, Damon’s private security team had swept his penthouse top to bottom. No one had breached the perimeter interior, but someone had physically jammed an unauthorized decryption key into the outer electronic lock of the private elevator service bay—a clear message that our enemies were closing in, trying to rattle us.I sat at the wide, dark dining table, my hands tightly wrapped around a warm mug of tea that had long since gone cold.On the polished surface in front of me lay the small, plain brown package that had been delivered to my office desk earlier that afternoon. Beside it sat the sleek, ice-cold metal flash drive with those chilling white letters printed across its surface:*“Property of the Late CEO — Financial Records Part 1.”*Damon walked into the dining area, his dark shirt unbuttoned at the collar,
