Surviving As A Genius On Borrowed Time Novel

Eu fui linchada na internet pelas minhas próprias funcionárias que eram mães. Elas começaram a espalhar que a creche gratuita da empresa, feita especialmente para os filhos delas, era na verdade uma "prisão de crianças", um truque cruel para forçar horas extras. O que elas não sabiam era que aquela creche foi o meu projeto mais caro e mais amado: eu importei equipamentos de ponta, contratei professores de fora do país, montei uma estrutura em que cada criança custava, em média, oito mil reais por mês. Ainda assim, a internet inteira caiu matando em cima de mim, me chamando de palhaça, de hipócrita, de capitalista nojenta. Foi aí que eu perdi a paciência e soltei um comunicado interno para todos os funcionários: [Para atender ao desejo de autonomia das famílias na criação dos filhos, a empresa decidiu encerrar o serviço de creche gratuita. A partir de hoje, será substituído por um auxílio‑creche: funcionários que se encaixarem nos critérios receberão 200 reais por mês.] Bastou o aviso ser enviado para o caos começar. As mesmas mães que me xingavam estão agora em massa na porta da minha sala, implorando para eu não fechar a creche.

I thought I’d left Alexander behind ..the lies, the control, the heartbreak. I was done. I wanted a fresh start. A life without him. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Alexander is no longer just a memory… he’s a sleeping partner in the company I just started working for. And the moment he discovers I’m the CEO’s Personal Assistant, he wakes. Claims his territory. Interferes. Disrupts. Demands. Now I’m caught between two powerful men—one, my ex-husband, possessive and relentless; the other, my boss, charming, protective, and dangerously irresistible. Two men. One heart. And no rules to keep me safe. But amidst all the chaos, one man wouldn’t back down -and another was determined to prove I was off-limits.

"What are you doing?" Alpha Albrecht's voice was low, almost a growl. "I… I'm doing what you want," I replied, my voice trembling. "I'm not resisting." He stepped closer, his eyes narrowing. "Why the sudden change, Catriona? You've never been this… obedient." I met his gaze, my heart throbbing aggressively. His eyes scanned my body, lingering on the bruises and marks. His hand reached out, fingers brushing against a particularly dark bruise on my arm. I flinched but held my ground. "You're different," he muttered, more to himself than to me. "Yes, Alpha," I whispered, lowering my gaze. He tilted my chin up, forcing me to look at him. He studied me for a long moment, his expression stern. Finally, he nodded. "Get dressed!" "Huh?" I blinked, surprised by his command. If I remember correctly, he actually forced his way into me on this day.

My wife, Charlene Everett, and I used to work in the same hospital. I was known for being a kind doctor as well as a passionate teacher, while she was known for being a smart, fiery, and protective professional. All was well for the both of us until Charlene started caring about a clumsy trainee doctor called Zachary Wordsworth. I underestimated their relationship until the day he made a grave medical error, and she threw me to the wolves to protect him from his own mistakes. Indeed, Zachary cut a patient's womb out of her body mistakenly. The patient committed suicide not long after finding out. To avoid him being disciplined by the hospital, Charlene had the nurse in charge modify the records to have me as the surgery’s lead doctor. The patient’s family thought I was the one at fault and sued me. Everyone cursed me for being an unqualified doctor. Netizens made a huge ruckus online and started pressuring the hospital director to fire me. Helpless and in pain, I confronted Charlene, but she casually said, “Zach can’t handle the responsibility of failing the surgery. You’re more experienced, so you’ll be able to weather this storm.” When I later stumbled upon Charlene tangled up with Zachary, I could only let out a bitter laugh. I thus decided it was time for me to stop being kind.
