All Chapters of Nobody Dare Dumps This Curvy Bitch: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

GabbyThe soft blue light from the television danced across the dark living room, casting quiet shadows against the walls. We were curled up under the heavy throw blanket on the couch, my body tucked close against Nathan’s broad, solid frame. My head rested comfortably against his chest, his arm wrapped securely around my shoulders while the steady, rhythmic thrum of his heartbeat settled the lingering fear from earlier that day.I had never known this kind of safety. Growing up, home meant sudden tempers and fear. With Joel, love felt like a constant struggle to prove my worth. But here, in Nathan’s unyielding hold, I didn't have to hide my insecurities or pretend to be unbreakable.Nathan shifted slightly beneath me, his thumb rubbing gentle circles into my arm."I lost both of my parents when I was twenty-two," Nathan said softly, his deep voice heavy with a quiet ache.I lifted my head from his chest, looking up into his sharp profile. In the corporate world, Nathan was seen as an

Gabby I walked back and forth across my bedroom floor, my bare feet silent against the rug, my chest tight with panic. I held my phone tightly in my hand, staring at the wall as my mind raced. Who took this picture? The question wouldn't stop repeating in my head. Was it Joel? Was it Lina? Or was it Titi? Someone had been standing in the shadows of that staircase, watching me tremble as my mother took my money, just waiting for the right moment to ruin my life. Before I could sink any deeper into my scary thoughts, the phone in my hand started buzzing loudly. The screen showed Khloe’s name. I took a deep breath, swiped to answer, and put the phone to my ear. "Hello?" I whispered, my voice shaking. "Gabby! Oh thank God," Khloe’s worried voice came through the phone. "I was trying to give you space, but I just wanted to check on you. How are you doing? Are you feeling any better today?" "No, Khloe... I'm not okay," I choked out, wrapping my free arm around my waist as a c

Gabby My heels clicked steadily against the tiled floor as I walked down the long hallway toward the security office. My heart was beating fast with every step, but my mind was made up. I was going to find out who took that photograph and stop them once and for all. When I pushed open the door to the security room, the head guard looked up from his bright row of TV monitors. "Good afternoon, Ms. Eni. How can I help you today?" he asked, standing up politely from his chair. "Good afternoon," I said, keeping my voice calm and professional. "I need to check the security camera video from the executive stairwell. Specifically from two days back." The guard nodded and started typing into his computer. He frowned, clicking his mouse a few times before turning back to me with a worried look on his face. "I am really sorry, Ms. Eni, but you won't be able to see any video from that area," he said, shaking his head. "The cameras in that stairwell went bad about two days ago. They are broke

JoelI slammed the door to my office shut, the heavy wood vibrating in its frame as the rage inside my chest finally boiled over. I tore off my suit jacket and threw it onto the leather sofa, pacing across the room like a caged animal."I cannot believe this," I spat out, turning around to face Lina, who had followed me inside. "I cannot bloody believe the audacity of that girl! Who does she think she is?!"Lina leaned against the corner of my mahogany desk, pouring herself a glass of water with a hand that was visibly trembling with annoyance. "She is delusional, Joel. That is the only explanation. She stood right there in front of Nathan and talked as if taking on a multi-billionaire client was like ordering lunch at a drive-thru.""She’s an uneducated caterer!" I shouted, running my hand through my hair as I paced back and forth across the plush rug. "She walked into Vanny Holdings pretending to be something grand just because Nathan is parading her around on his arm!"Yet, even as

GabbyThe cab pulled up in front of the Sterling Corporation building, and I stepped out onto the sidewalk.I looked up at the massive glass tower stretching into the sky. It was so big and imposing that standing at the bottom made me feel tiny, but I took a deep breath, pulled my shoulders back, and held my head high. I smoothed down my milky-white dress, gripped my burgundy bag and the gold gift box in my hands, and walked inside with pure confidence.The main lobby was huge and quiet. I walked over to the front desk, and the receptionist greeted me politely. After checking my name on her screen, she directed me toward the executive elevators that led straight to Mr. Sterling’s private floor.I stepped into the elevator and pressed the top button. As the lift started moving up, I looked at my reflection in the shiny glass mirror. I set the gift box down carefully on the small side ledge, pulled out my compact powder, and quickly touched up my face. I adjusted my gold chain, checked
