Chapter: Chapter four~ANGELINA~My attacker never finished me off, nor did he come around. I’d laid on the bare ground for what could be ages, drifting in and out of sleep which was haunted by nightmares. I kept seeing Glenda running after me with her claws. And having Luca baring his teeth at me. All this meant I wasn't safe.I'd thought of simply killing myself, but hadn't gotten around doing it. One, I was too scared, timid to carry that out. Two, suicide was a taboo; I wouldn't want to incur the wrath of the moon goddess.Heaving myself off the ground, I looked around the dark woods. The sounds of crickets and a howl rang it into my ears that I was lonely. I didn't know where to go from here.Without thinking, I just simply began to walk. The half moon lit my path up; the gently swaying plants whispered nothing but words of sympathy to my ears. Inwardly, I nodded even as tears crowded my eyes. I refused to come to terms with my harsh reality.Time stretched on and I continued to walk. Soon, the tears

Chapter: Chapter three~ANGELINA~“What's going on here?” I stepped in. The soft music that had been playing died down as all attention turned to me. Luca frowned as soon as he saw me. His flair pinewood scent rose to my nostrils, bringing with it memories that were filled with bitterness. He was dressed in a white fitting robe that made him appear dangerously handsome.None of that intimidated me. I was more concerned about what was happening here than his hateful gaze.I stared at the priest, hoping he'd give me answers.“Can someone tell me what's happening?” I asked again, my eyes falling on Lucas hand which was still joined to Glenda's.“Glenda?” I turned to her, eager for answers. She looked radiant in a sleek ivory gown. Her hands rested on Luca's arm, her eyes gleaming with triumph. How did they even get to change in those clothes when they’d been at the office only some time ago? This question chimed in my head as beads of tears began to form behind my eyes.For a moment, I couldn’t move. Coul

Chapter: Chapter two~ANGELINA~Evening had fast come and the atmosphere was anything but comfortable. A harsh breeze blew, swaying trees and raising debris in the air.I remained, hunched on the ground, crying. I couldn't believe Luca would treat me that way. Like I was some sort of trash. It was true he'd never liked me too but I had thought his attitude would change as time went on. Obviously, I was wrong. And the fact Luca would see me as the reason for our childlessness just demonstrated how low he thought of me. I didn't know why the moon goddess had decided to punish me this way.My tears kept pouring. Even when my stomach growled out of hunger, I didn't stop. Then, a stinging sensation hit me.At first, I resisted the urge to rub my eyes, but the discomfort grew by the minute till I began a fresh set of tear. Not out of emotional pain, but physical.I stood to leave, but caught sight of a figure several feet away from me. It didn't make sense at first, but soon enough, I realised what it was.From

Chapter: Chapter one~ANGELINA~For a normal person, today was an exciting day.But I was far from being normal. Within me, anxiety and fear exploded—making a disastrous mix. Rather than bask in euphoria as someone celebrating her three year wedding anniversary, I was filled with dread. So much that I almost buckled to the floor while getting out of my car.Exhaling deeply, my breath misted in the chilly air. I grabbed the two bags of goodies I'd gotten earlier this morning and started towards the massive building of Schnitzel Corporations.Walking through the glass doors, all eyes swung to me. All movements halted and then came the chorus:“Good afternoon, Luna.”Despite my anxiety, my cheeks heated up. I held my composure together and replied in a calm voice.Briefly exchanging pleasantries with the receptionist, I asked, “Is the alpha by Amy chance free?”Smiling knowingly, she replied, “Yes, Luna. He is.”“Thank you.” I returned her smile and went straight for the elevator that would lead me to his of

Chapter: Chapter 65Ophelia’s POV The next few days passed in a blur of reports, meetings, and Aaron’s relentless demands. He was back to his usual self: curt, exacting, and impossible to please. Yet, there was something different—a crack in his veneer that revealed itself in fleeting moments. A brush of his hand as he handed me a document, a lingering glance during a meeting, or a subtle softness in his voice when he addressed me directly. But he never overstepped. Aaron Donovan was a man who thrived on control, and it was clear he wasn’t ready to relinquish any part of it—not even his feelings. That morning, I found myself in the middle of a particularly hectic schedule. Aaron had tasked me with organizing a last-minute meeting with international partners while also preparing a detailed analysis of competitor strategies. My desk was a minefield of sticky notes, files, and my half-drunk coffee. “Miss Lewis,” Aaron’s voice called from his office. I sighed, setting down the highlighter I’d been usin

Chapter: Chapter 64Ophelia’s POV The tension between Aaron and me had reached an unspoken truce, though the dynamics of our relationship were far from simple. Each day in his office was a chess match of emotions and professionalism, neither of us willing to make the first move. Aaron remained as sharp and demanding as ever, yet there were cracks in his icy demeanor—moments that felt too intimate for the boundaries we claimed to maintain. That morning, I was deep in the throes of a particularly frustrating task. Aaron had requested a detailed analysis of prospective mergers, and the data was a labyrinth of numbers and trends. I stared at my screen, rubbing my temples as the words blurred together. “You look like you’re about to throw that laptop out the window.” His voice startled me, and I looked up to see Aaron standing in my doorway, arms crossed, an amused glint in his eye. “Not out the window,” I muttered. “But maybe into the coffee machine.” He stepped into my office, glancing at the jumble o

Chapter: Chapter 63Ophelia’s POV The tension between Aaron and me was becoming unbearable. Each passing day felt like a tightrope walk. We kept our interactions strictly professional, but there was an undercurrent—a simmering attraction neither of us acknowledged. I was drowning myself in work, hoping it would numb the confusing emotions that surfaced whenever Aaron was near. The merger had turned into a whirlwind of meetings, legal reviews, and negotiations. My calendar was packed from dawn till dusk, leaving little room for anything else. But the busier I stayed, the more aware I became of Aaron’s presence. It wasn’t just his commanding tone or his sharp intellect. It was the subtle things: the way his eyes crinkled slightly when he was deep in thought, the quiet moments when I’d catch him watching me, and the rare times when his icy exterior softened. One particularly chaotic morning, I found myself rushing through the office corridors with a stack of documents balanced precariously in my arms.

Chapter: Chapter 62Ophelia’s POV Working closely with Aaron Donovan was beginning to feel like playing a dangerous game. The man had a way of peeling back my defenses without even trying, making me question everything I thought I knew about him—and myself. The day started as most did, with Aaron’s sharp tone barking instructions the moment I stepped into his office. “Miss Lewis, I need the quarterly reports from division heads by noon,” he said without looking up from his laptop. “Of course, Mr. Donovan,” I replied. “And schedule a meeting with the marketing team this afternoon,” he added, his fingers flying over the keyboard. “Understood,” I said, already jotting down notes. His demands weren’t new, but there was a tension in the air that felt different. Over the past few weeks, Aaron’s demeanor toward me had softened in small, almost imperceptible ways. He wasn’t outright kind—he was still the same demanding, no-nonsense boss—but there were moments when his gaze lingered too long or his voice di

Chapter: Chapter 62Ophelia’s POV Working for Aaron Donovan was like trying to navigate a storm in the middle of the ocean—unpredictable, intense, and always teetering on the edge of chaos. Despite the exhaustion that came with the long hours and relentless pace, there was something invigorating about it. I thrived on the challenge, but Aaron… was a force unto himself. One moment, he was cold and calculating, barking orders like a drill sergeant. The next, he’d show glimpses of humanity so fleeting they left me questioning if I’d imagined them. Today was no different. “Miss Lewis,” his deep voice snapped me out of my thoughts as I stepped into his office. “Yes, Mr. Donovan?” “I need the revised merger documents on my desk in twenty minutes,” he said, not bothering to look up from his laptop. “Of course,” I replied, already turning on my heel. “Oh, and Miss Lewis,” he called after me. I paused, glancing over my shoulder. “Double-check the legal clauses this time. I don’t have the patience for amate

Chapter: Chapter 117Elena’s POV The atmosphere in the dimly lit room was thick with tension. Daniel and I had dressed up and arrived at the reserved apartment, anticipating a confrontation. As we walked into the room where Phila had arranged everything, Daniel’s face froze in shock. There, sitting calmly, was Alex.Daniel blinked, disbelief in his eyes. "Alex? What are you doing here?"Alex slowly turned, a smirk playing on his lips. "You told me to come, remember? You texted me."Daniel’s confusion deepened. "No, I didn’t! I never texted you."I couldn’t help but enjoy the unraveling drama. With a sly smile, I crossed my legs and leaned back. "Wow, Daniel, I’m impressed. You’re truly something. But let me clear the air—I did the texting. I needed you both here. After all, birds of the same feather…"Daniel, pale and anxious, stood up and grabbed my arm. "Elena, please, I can explain—"Before he could finish, my hand flew across his face, delivering a stinging slap. "Explain? Explain what, Daniel? The f

Chapter: Chapter 116Elena’s POV I walked into the house, feeling a sense of exhaustion wash over me. I had been running on adrenaline for weeks, and it was finally catching up with me. I decided to take a nap, hoping to clear my head and recharge.As I lay in bed, I couldn't shake off the feeling of doubt that had been lingering in my mind. What was Daniel hiding? And why was he being so secretive?But for now, I pushed those thoughts aside and focused on rest. I slept for a few hours, waking up feeling slightly better.When I walked into the living room, Daniel was sitting on the couch, watching TV. He smiled when he saw me, and I forced a smile back."Hey, how was your day?" he asked, patting the couch next to him.I sat down, trying to act normal. "It was fine. Just tired."Daniel put his arm around me, pulling me close. "You've been working too hard. You need to take it easy."I nodded, feeling a sense of unease. I didn't want to be close to him right now, not when I had so many doubts. But I didn't

I want you to keep an eye on Daniel's moves, and see if you can find out what he's up to."Phila's eyes widened, intrigued. "You mean, spy on him?"I nodded. "Exactly. I'm about to make a big decision, and I need to be sure of what I'm doing. If Daniel's hiding something, I need to know."Phila grinned mischievously. "I'm on it. I'll dig up everything I can find."I smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "Thanks, Phila. I knew I could count on you."Phila nodded. "Don't worry, Elena. We'll get to the bottom of this. And if Daniel's hiding something, we'll expose him."I nodded, determination coursing through my veins. "Let's do it."Phila pulled out her phone and started typing away. "I'll start by hacking into his phone records, see if he's been in contact with anyone suspicious."I raised an eyebrow. "You can do that?"Phila winked. "I have my ways. Leave it to me, Elena. I'll uncover everything."I smiled and h

Chapter: Chapter 114Elena’s POV The next morning, I walked into the office, still thinking about Daniel's proposal. Phila noticed the look on my face and asked, "Hey, what's up? You look deep in thought."I sat down at my desk and filled her in on Daniel's suggestion. "He wants us to merge our properties and make him the sole owner," I said, watching for her reaction.Phila's expression turned thoughtful. "That's a big decision," she said. "What do you think about it?"I shrugged. "I don't know. That's why I'm asking for your opinion."Phila leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers together. "If I were to advise you, I'd say keep your property to yourself."I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"Phila's expression turned serious. "You can't trust anybody, Elena. Especially when it comes to something you've worked hard for. You know what Uncle Smith tried to do to you. What if Daniel...?"I held up a hand, stopping her. "Daniel would never do that to me. He loves me."Phila's expression softened. "I know he

"After that, I'll be changing the locks and taking possession of my property."Mrs. Caroline's eyes welled up with tears, while Mr. Smith's face turned red with rage. But I just smiled, feeling a sense of triumph."I'm done here," I said, turning to leave. "Enjoy your last night in my apartment."Phila followed me out, closing the door behind us. "You were amazing in there," she said, grinning.I smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. "Thanks, Phila. I couldn't have done it without you."As we walked away from the house, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. I had taken back what was mine, and I had done it with style."Let's go celebrate," Phila said, linking her arm through mine.I nodded, smiling. "Definitely.

We were greeted by Mr. Johnson, who looked nervous and anxious."Good morning, ladies," he said, trying to force a smile.I smiled sweetly, enjoying the power dynamic. "Good morning, Mr. Johnson. Thank you for meeting us here today."We walked into the bank manager's office, where all the necessary documents were laid out on the table. Mr. Johnson hesitated, looking at the papers as if he was about to sign away his soul."Is everything in order?" the bank manager asked, looking at Mr. Johnson expectantly.Mr. Johnson nodded, his hand trembling as he signed the documents. Phila and I exchanged a triumphant glance, knowing that this was the final step in our plan."Thank you, Mr. Johnson," I said, taking the signed documents from him. "You've been a great help."Mr. Johnson looked like he was about to cry, but I just smiled and patted him on the back. "Don't worry, Mr. Johnson. You'll be rewarded for
