Chapter: CHAPTER TEN: A father’s shadowMia stood still for one minute, clutching the form so tightly her fingers throbbed. She might have rehearsed this a thousand times in her head, but now that it was real, her nerves threatened to unravel all resolve. She knew Xiang would not want to hear what she was about to say. He thrived on control, and any deviation from his precisely crafted plans was met with sharp disapproval.Xiang’s voice sliced through the stillness, crisp and focused. “I don’t have all day, Mia. Go on.”Mia’s heart skipped a beat, but she steadied her breath and met his gaze. “I wanted to talk to you about my position as it currently stands.” She stepped forward and put the form on his desk.Xiang picked it up with a quick flick of his wrist and stared at it, frowning. “What is this?”“It’s a form. A new opening—for a personal assistant,” Mia said, trying to keep her voice even. “I got it from a friend of Zac’s.”Xiang did not change his expression, but his voice was colder than before. “And how does this r

Chapter: CHAPTER NINE: Unspoken Truths Zac’s gaze lingered on Mia longer than he intended, a flicker of something real crossing his eyes. Deep down, he recognized the feelings he once had for her—it was undeniable. But acknowledging them, saying it aloud, felt impossible. His ego—and Bella, his fiancée—held him captive.Voicing his true feelings wouldn’t change anything. In fact, it would only complicate the already tangled mess between them.“No, it wasn’t.” Zac finally said, his tone carefully controlled. “I said what I felt at the time.” His jaw tightened. “But what do you expect? I’m just a man.”Mia studied his face, searching for sincerity. The way he looked then… It was as though he was no longer the person she had fallen for at first glance.“Obviously,” Zac continued, his tone shifting, “ things change. I did exactly what any other man would have done in that situation, seeing you in ‘that’ state.”Her brows furrowed, frustration boiling beneath her skin. “So, it meant nothing? All those promises, all those words…

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHT: Under Zac’s control The room suddenly lit up and Mia gasped, breaking the silence. “Zac?” she whispered, her voice trembling.Now fully exposed, Mia fought against his strong grip. Despite her smaller frame, her strength surprised him.“Let me go! You’ve got this all wrong. I swear, I won’t cause any trouble!” she begged, panic clear in her eyes.“This show ends now, Mia Williams,” Zac growled, his tone low and venomous. “Stop resisting.”Mia froze, her wide eyes betraying her growing fear. “How—how do you know my name?”Zac leaned closer, his gaze unflinching. “Mia Williams. Twenty-three years old. High school graduate. Your mother lives in Colony Town, three hours outside New York City. Your father’s currently in Princeton. Last but not the least—your best friend, Samantha, lives just an hour away. Ring a bell?”Mia had always been resourceful, but desperation had blinded her to Zac’s true nature—far more dangerous than she’d ever imagined.To the world, Zac was known as a quiet heir and “grandpa’s boy

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVEN: Crossing boundaries Mia sat in front of her mirror while Samantha sat beside her, watching, as she applied her lightweight lipstick. Then her phone rang. She saw it was her mom’s number, and a smile spread across her face. But the smile quickly vanished as she heard her mom sobbing on the other end.“Mom, what’s wrong?” Mia asked apprehensively.“Mia, I-I got evicted from my apartment!” Her voice cracked, tears spilling through the receiver. “I was robbed last night, and my landlord refused to give me an extension.”Mia gave a sigh, her voice shaking.“What? Mom, calm down. I’ll figure this out. Just give me a few hours, alright?”“Thank you, baby,” her mom said through sobs.Mia hung up, her fingers clenching tightly on her phone as her mind whirled. She needed to act fast, but there was only one person she knew who could supply the cash—and the thought of him made her stomach twist.“What’s going on?” Samantha asked, her head tilting in interest.“I need to pay a visit to Derrick right now,” Mia sai

Chapter: CHAPTER SIX: Shadows beneath the surface Three months earlier, Zac sat in his study, the soft hum of a late evening wrapping the room. His tie hung loose around his neck, and the whiskey in his glass had gone cold. The silence was broken by the soft clink of Angelo’s glass against the edge of the desk. “Let me guess… it’s about her again.” Angelo said, his voice low, carrying a note of amusement. Zac didn’t respond immediately. His eyes remained fixed on the ceiling, tracing faint cracks as though they held the answers he sought. “I told you she wouldn’t show,” Angelo continued, his tone too casual for the weight of the conversation. Zac swirled the amber liquid in his glass, his knuckles tight around the stem. “You said it. Yeah, you were right.” Angelo smirked, leaning back in his chair. “I tried to warn you. You were setting yourself up for disappointment. Did you honestly think she’d come through?” Zac exhaled heavily, frustration simmering just beneath the surface. “It wasn’t supposed to go like that.” He fell

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE: Familiar StrangersMia adjusted her gown slightly, standing before an imposing penthouse. No amount of preparation could steady her nerves—Zac Cornell was just beyond the walls, and she wasn’t sure how to face him. She stood before the gates of Zac Cornell’s estate, her breath catching at the sight of it. It was larger than she’d imagined—a fortress of steel and glass, framed by precisely maintained gardens. The high walls weren’t just physical barriers; they represented the gulf between Zac’s world and hers. Her palms felt sticky as she adjusted her bag, the weight of her mission pressing heavily on her shoulders. The role she was stepping into—that of Tiffany, the assistant cook—had taken weeks of preparation. Yet, now standing on the verge of her mission, buried doubts resurfaced. She had come for answers, but the emotions tangled with them threatened to overwhelm her. The chief of staff greeted her with a professional smile. He was tall, seamlessly dressed in a crisp suit, with an air of quiet
