The CEO'S Forgotten Promise
“What are you talking about?”
Alex looked down at his hands, then back up at me. His eyes were full of pain. “My real name isn’t Alex. It’s Scorpion. I’m… I was hired to destroy you, Aurora. To get close, make you trust me, and then… ruin your life. I was supposed to rape you. And then kill you when the time was right.”
The words hit me like a physical blow. I stared at him, my mouth dry, my mind struggling to process what he was saying. The kind, gentle man who talked about books with me, who sent sweet good morning messages ....he was supposed to hurt me? To kill me?
