All Chapters of The Boss Who Hated Me Back: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Lena stared at Victor.For several seconds, she couldn't breathe.The Fireman.The man responsible for the warehouse fire.The man who had destroyed the evidence, separated her from Adrian, and spent years hiding behind other people's secrets.It was Victor.Adrian stepped forward.You?Victor didn't move.Yes.Marcus immediately raised his weapon.Don't.Victor's eyes remained fixed on Adrian.If I wanted you dead, you wouldn't be standing here.Marcus tightened his grip.Then explain the fire.Victor looked toward the old documents scattered across the table.Your fathers discovered what Charles Blackwood was doing. They found the accounts, the names, the payments, everything.Lena swallowed.And the warehouse?Victor's expression hardened.Charles ordered me to burn it.Adrian's jaw tightened.You followed his orders?At first.Victor looked down.Then I realized there were children inside.Lena froze.Children?Victor nodded slowly.Charles had been using the warehouse to hide chi

Lena couldn't move.Her mother was alive.After all these years, after all the tears, after all the nights Lena had spent wondering why she had been abandoned, Rebecca was standing only a few meters away.Alive.Lena's voice barely came out.Mom?Rebecca's eyes filled with tears.I'm sorry.Lena shook her head.No.She took a step forward.You were dead.I know.You let me believe you were dead.Rebecca lowered her weapon.I had no choice.Lena's anger finally broke through her shock.Everyone keeps saying that!No choice.No choice.No choice.But I was the one who had to live with it!Rebecca flinched.Adrian gently touched Lena's arm.Let her explain.Rebecca looked at him.Your father wanted to come back for you.Adrian's expression hardened.Then why didn't he?Because Charles found him.The room became silent.Rebecca continued.Your father escaped the fire, but Charles found him before he could reach you. He was injured badly. Victor helped him disappear.Victor lowered his hea

The old warehouse stood exactly as Lena remembered it.Broken windows.Rusting metal doors.Blackened walls that still carried the scars of the fire.For a moment, Lena couldn't move.Adrian stood beside her.You don't have to do this.Lena looked at him.Yes, I do.He took her hand.Then we do it together.Marcus stayed several meters behind them, watching the surrounding area.No movement.No cars.Nothing.That's what worries me, he said.Lena looked at the warehouse.Charles wants us to think he's waiting inside.Adrian nodded.But he's already planned everything.They entered through the same side door Victor had once used.The smell of smoke seemed to linger despite the years.Lena's chest tightened.I remember this place.Adrian looked at her.What do you remember?A voice.A man's voice.She closed her eyes.He was arguing with my father.What did he say?Lena opened her eyes.He said he couldn't let them take the money.Adrian frowned.Who couldn't?I don't know.Suddenly, Ma

Lena couldn't move.Her father stood in the doorway.The man she had spent years believing was dead was standing in front of her.Alive.Dad?His eyes softened.Lena.She took a shaky step toward him.You were alive.He nodded.I was.Her voice broke.Then why did you leave me?He looked at Rebecca.Because staying with you would have gotten you killed.Lena shook her head.You don't get to decide that for me.Her father lowered his eyes.You're right.For years, I told myself I was protecting you. But the truth is, I was afraid.Afraid of Charles?Afraid of what would happen if Charles discovered you were still alive.Adrian stepped beside Lena.You made everyone believe you were dead.I had to.You manipulated Daniel.I did.Adrian's expression hardened.You used him.Her father looked at him.I gave him orders because Charles had people everywhere. I needed someone inside his organization who could move information without being detected.Daniel wasn't a traitor.He was protecting

Lena stared at the envelope on the table.For the first time in weeks, the house was quiet. No threatening phone calls. No strangers watching from across the street. No secrets waiting to destroy whatever little happiness she had left.Yet the envelope bearing Victor Hale’s name made her uneasy.Adrian stood behind her, resting his hands gently on her shoulders.Are you going to open it?Lena nodded.I need to know what else he wanted to tell us.She carefully opened the envelope and pulled out a folded letter. Inside was a photograph of Victor, her father, Adrian’s father, and two little children standing in front of the old warehouse.Lena smiled faintly.We really did know each other before everything happened.Adrian leaned closer.Apparently, I was following you around even back then.She turned to him, raising an eyebrow.You were?According to this picture, yes.He pointed at the photograph. Little Adrian stood beside Lena, holding her hand while she appeared to be reaching for
