Molly’s POV

The lawyer looked familiar, but I couldn't place where I had seen him before. I was relieved when Gianni intervened before he could extend his hand for a shake.

From Gianni's conversation with his secretary, I gathered that he was busy but stayed until he was summoned.

Being left alone with Charlie, the divorce lawyer, made me uneasy, but since I was in Gianni's office, I felt secure.

"Molly, Molly, I handled Christopher's divorce," he said as soon as Gianni reluctantly left.

My heart skipped a beat. Christopher was my former producer, and it saddened me that his wife had believed the false news.

"It shouldn't have come to that. The news was false," I clarified, but he just smirked.

"It doesn't matter. You are still very stunning." I didn't appreciate the way he looked at me, so I steered the conversation back to the divorce documents.

I really need this job, but Don doesn’t seem willing to compromise.I should have known better. Don was ruthless, and begging would never make him show mercy, but it was all I could do.“Please, just give me another chance.” His gaze was piercing, his expression frosty. My words didn’t seem to affect him.“You know what I hate, and you did exactly that. The moment you start lying, you lose your credibility. I can’t continue working with you.”His calm words shattered me. I had been loyal, working for him wholeheartedly, and just one lie and he was letting me go?Tears welled up, but they didn’t move him.“If you had told the truth, I would have just changed your office. But you chose to lie to me.”I don’t know why I lied, knowing that many staff had been fired for the same. I should have c

    Molly’s POVAfter spending the day at Gianni’s office, I realized a few things from his interaction with Marie. The first thing that struck me was his statement,“You know what I hate and did exactly that. The moment you begin to lie, you lose your accreditation. I can’t work with you anymore.”This made me realize that every question Gianni avoided answering was likely because he didn't want to lie to me.However, it also made me feel like he was withholding information because he thought I wouldn't like the answer.Various worst-case scenarios started playing in my mind, but I tried to push them aside.Why did I even care about what he did with his life? He had promised to help me, and that should be enough.When we arrived at Roger’s school, I noticed a change in his mood. I wondered if something had upset him, but as soon as I stepped out of the car to greet him, he frowned and brushed past me.“Roger, is everything alright?"

    Molly’s POV“What if I have a tiny bit of information about Don Black? Will you still go alone?”Gianni turned to face her and, as if contemplating something, responded casually. “Let’s talk in my office.”The excitement in her eyes was infectious, but as she stared at me, her gaze turned dark.It seemed to me that Gianni was surrounded by strange people, but as he reached the door, what he said caused me to freeze.“Agatha, Nicole would be my secretary, but you shall be Molly’s secretary.”“What?” It wasn’t Agatha but rather Nicole who exclaimed in shock. I was just as confused, not knowing what job I was going to do that would require a secretary.“Gianni…” I was about to say, but he had already left. I guess I had bruised his ego by refusing to attend whatever dinner both women wanted to go to.I didn’t see Gianni again after that, but he sent me a text message: ‘Your corporate email has been activated. I will send some documents, and Agatha can help with them. If you don’t underst

    Molly’s POV Gianni did not explain matters to me. When I mentioned his wife, I expected him to tell me the reason why he couldn’t go with her when I knew he had been with her throughout the weekend.Being labeled a home wrecker before was not something I was proud of, so I thought it best to protect myself by keeping a distance from married men, though I never saw a ring on Gianni’s finger. All he said was for me to accompany him to a dinner as if I was an escort, so I refused.If he had mentioned it was work-related, then I would have thought about it or even considered it, but I guess it was too late to take the offer because a replacement was right in front of him.“Agatha, you will escort me to dinner tonight. All expenses will be taken care of.”I saw the way Agatha beamed at Gianni’s request as if it was the best thing that ever happened to her. Yes, sir, I will work faster," Agatha exclaimed, about to leave when a female voice interrupted her."Why should she accompany you w

    Giovanni’s POVAs I was about to take off on my private jet, my phone rang. Expecting it to be Hank with a possible emergency involving Roger, I answered the call.“Gio, I heard Don Black is having dinner at Haze restaurant tonight.”The news piqued my interest, even though I didn’t know the man’s identity I was searching for. I had a hunch that certain characteristics might give him away, so I decided to take the bait.Also, the fact that he had eyes on Molly made her the perfect candidate to go with.“Great. I hope he doesn’t disguise himself.”“I hope so too,” Hank replied before I ended the call. Upon reaching the office, I was eager to check on Molly. I hadn’t informed her before leaving because I didn’t want to ruin her sleep but she hadn’t called during my absence.I secretly hoped she would have reached out to me or inquired about the missing maids, but that didn’t happen. I assumed Jace must have provided her with satisfactory answers, but I expected her to be waiting for me

    Molly’s POVIt was very strange how the atmosphere around the mansion changed the moment Gianna walked in.The maids walked on eggshells, as if they hadn't been mocking me earlier, but Gianni was not alone.He was accompanied by a tall man dressed in black. With Gianni in all white, there was a stark contrast between the two men.“Molly, meet Hank, my best friend,” Gianna said. I was stunned, perhaps because Hank was dressed casually in a leather jacket.I never met any of Gianni’s family members when we dated and also not his best friend but I was glad to meet someone close to him now.However, Hank’s gaze was piercing, as if he were peering into my soul. It reminded me of the intense gaze Gianni would give me when he was upset.Upon seeing Hank, Roger rushed to embrace him, making me yearn for a similar bond with him.Roger seemed to connect better with his father's best friend than even with his father.“How are you, big boy?” Hank asked as he lifted Roger into his arms.

    “Boss, Roger is making things difficult for her, scaring her with his pets and the maids...""What did the maids do?" I was furious at this point. Roger may be different, but the maids are my employees and should not be causing trouble."They believe she can't handle her job and is using Roger to get your attention.""Did they mistreat her in any way?"Jace hesitated for a moment before hurriedly responding, "I have to go. I think Roger is causing trouble again."I didn't stop him, knowing he needed to be there for Molly, and turned to Hank. "Please drive. I want to check the surveillance cameras at home."Despite his love for expensive cars, it was a mistake to ask Hank, as he was already behind the wheel."Who is causing problems?" he inquired as he accelerated. I watched the surveillance cameras closely as I updated him."Roger has taken a dislike to Molly.""That's understandable, but he will outgrow it soon. None of us can force him to like her."His response was not encouraging,

All his partners have worked with him through his bodyguards.“I want a strategy to take him down. Wesley isn’t a problem.”“But if he’s partnering, then he’s going to use Molly’s money to pay for some things, right?” Hank asked. I wasn’t ready for this.There was already a lot of things going on with my clubs and loaning organizations, but then an idea came to mind.“What about I take back Molly’s money from him bit by bit?”Hank smiled, but there wa

    Giovanni’s POV“I don’t have all day, Eleonor.” I was running out of patience when I saw her wasting time at the door.As she entered the office, I quickly warned her. “Don’t ever dress like this to my office again.”She knew perfectly well that her services weren’t needed in my office and should have dressed more appropriately but rather, she looked confused and asked me, “But Don, you never complained before.”I decided to clarify, “Point of correction, don’t come to my office unless summoned.”It was better that way because I didn’t invite her. I knew she might be wondering why I suddenly began giving her rules, but the reason was that Molly was starting work, and I didn’t want her to get any ideas.Until she recovered everything Wesley stole from her, she needed peace of mind to focus on her work.“Okay, I’m sorry, but you haven’t been answering my calls, so I came to check. I have some new girls, and as usual, we wear masks, so you won’t know them, and they won’t know you. Your s

Knocking on Roger’s door, I received no response, so I cautiously opened it, only to be met with a wave of fear that gripped my heart.“It’s not a joke, Roger,” I pleaded, feeling vulnerable and at his mercy as I quickly shut the door.“Come in,” his voice called from inside, but as I entered, something suddenly covered my face, causing me to scream in terror. Thankfully, Jace swiftly came to my rescue, removing the spider that had startled me.My heart raced uncontrollably. “Thank you, Jace.”“It’s no problem, ma’am. I’m here to help.”I glanced around at Roger’s chaotic collection of pets, feeling queasy. I hurried to the bathroom, emptying the contents of my stomach. I hadn’t eaten since breakfast, and the boy had frightened me to the core.This wasn’t the first time, but without Gianni, the house felt menacing, bringing back memories of what Roger had done to me on my first night.“Ma'am, would you like

    Molly’s POVI was still reeling from witnessing Gianni's actions earlier. Initially, I was afraid he might end up in jail, but the way the cops looked at him made me wonder why people were so afraid of him.Then there was Wesley, using my money to hire spies. I felt like the few months Gianni stated to get back my assets was too long.As he picked up the intercom, his expression changed, and I wondered what his secretary had told him.“Tell her to wait there,” he instructed, indicating it was a woman. There was always a mysterious air about him when it came to women, including his wife, that he never shared with me.Dropping the intercom, he locked eyes with me. “My bodyguard, Jace, will accompany you to Roger’s school and stay with you until I return.”I felt a sense of relief at the prospect of some time alone but couldn’t shake my curiosity about the woman waiting for him.“Okay, so when can I expect you back?” I asked, unintentionally giving the impression that there was something
