Sasha's POV

As soon as I stepped into the company, I noticed many people giving me strange looks. Normally, I'm confident in myself, so it's rare for me to be the subject of such scrutiny. But today, there was an uneasy atmosphere that I couldn't quite place.

People around me were avoiding eye contact and whispering.

Taking a dedicated elevator, I headed upstairs. Almost immediately, I spotted Kim, my new assistant, waiting for me.

"Come with me," I instructed Kim after a quick glance.

Kim nodded and followed me into the president's office.

Seated behind my desk, I turned to Kim. "I forgot to inform you earlier. I won't be at home today. That's your desk over there. You'll be working from that cubicle and on call."

After finishing, I looked up at Kim again. "Have you heard what people in the company are saying? You arrived earlier than I did. You might have overheard something."

Kim nodded hesitantly. "There's a rumor going around that you've been favored by Valentino from DragonCorp.

    Sasha’s POVThat woman was fired that very day and left RexCorp immediately.I made sure it served as a warning to others. Because of that gossip girl, no one in the company dared to insinuate that I was being kept by Valentino anymore, and gossip about me ceased entirely.My methods had become clear to everyone.In the restaurant, standing before nearly all the company's employees gathered for a meal, I spoke plainly, "You can speculate all you want about who I associate with and how I secure projects, but while you can eat anything here, spreading baseless rumors is not tolerated. I do not want a particular approach; what is important is outcomes."When it was my turn to speak I told Kim that she should release the gossip girl’s phone call video online.I also captured a video at the same time, observing the impact it had as it was being launched.After the leaked video was posted onNo one dared to associate with her again.Word of my decisive actions spread rapidly throughout the

    Sasha’s POV"Sasha!" A cheerful voice interrupted us. I turned to see Priscilla approaching with Gabriel."Priscilla?" I greeted her warmly, recognizing her from our previous encounters. I realized then that Gabriel must be the man she had mentioned before, the one who cared for her."Do you two know each other?" Gabriel inquired, curious about our connection."Yes, we've met," I replied, acknowledging our acquaintance."Sasha, you look stunning tonight," Priscilla complimented with a smile. "Let's catch up over there."With that, she led me away from Gabriel, taking me to a quieter corner of the club.As we conversed, Priscilla touched on the rumors about me and Valentino. She didn't mock or belittle me; instead, she spoke highly of my discernment and abilities."If you're looking for a benefactor, someone like Valentino at the pinnacle of society is the one to seek out. I envy you," Priscilla sighed wistfully.I listened thoughtfully, knowing all too well the complexities of my rela

    Sasha's POVI stood there, surprised by the turn of things. Gabriel had just said I was his girlfriend, and now Valentino was standing beside me, insisting firmly that I was his wife. The situation was getting out of hand.Gabriel and Valentino locked eyes with one another, their gazes were as intense as they claimed me with authority and confidence. Gabriel's declaration that I could be his wife was especially surprising, considering we had barely known each other for an hour.Valentino's expression changed and I could see very clearly how angry he was with the situation. He had made it known from the start that our relationship was strictly defined by a contract. But here he was, staking his claim in public in a way that suggested something deeper.I was caught between the devil and a handsome man. Both of them seemed to have an agenda for me. It felt like a dream. Gabriel's charisma and dominance were completely different from Valentino's controlled demeanor and business acumen. Bo

    Sasha's POVI was dozing on the sofa, trying to make some sense out of what happened in the evening, suddenly, the sounds of a quarrel between Valentino and Gabriel outside interrupted my deep thinking."Sasha.""Sasha." They spoke loudly in the hallway as if I belonged to them and they had every right to protect me. Gabriel screamed and said he was back while Valentino calmly stated that I belonged to him and he had the receipt.I clenched my fists in anger, wondering how it was even possible for them to come back when I had made it perfectly clear that I wanted them gone. Both appeared not to have the intention to relinquish their stand in asserting their authority over me.“Sasha is my woman. You’d better not have any ideas,” Valentino’s voice filled the air, the edge of a threat present within his tone.Gabe twisted his lip into a sneer, his eyes flashing dangerously. “And Sasha is the woman I picked. Do not consider meddling.”The raw entitlement that they displayed was somethin

    Sasha’s POV"I didn't mean to..." I repeated weakly, my voice barely audible over the storm of emotions raging inside me. His words stung, but they also revealed a raw vulnerability in him that I hadn't seen before.Valentino's expression twisted with frustration and anger, his features hardening into a mask of disdain. The realization that I had failed him, and that my actions had reduced our relationship to this painful exchange, washed over me with bitter clarity."I'm sorry," I choked out, the words heavy with regret and resignation. At that moment, I knew there was no going back to how things were. The fragile threads that had held us together were now frayed beyond repair.He stepped back, his gaze cold and distant as he turned away. The weight of his disappointment hung heavy in the air, a palpable reminder of the rift that had widened between us.As he left, I sank to the floor, the cool tiles offering little comfort against the storm of emotions swirling within me.

But why was Valentino summoning me there?Before I could ask, he had hung up, leaving me with a chill in my heart.With the weight of our contract pressing on me, I knew I had to go, despite any reluctance.Leaving my office, I called Kim, who was still working, "Kim, please leave work with me and drive me to the Four Points.""Okay," Kim nodded.Soon, I arrived at the Four Points with Kim's help."Do you need me to accompany you inside, Sasha?" Kim asked."No, go home. Thank you.

    Sasha’s POVThere were only three men left in the room. I couldn't kiss Valentino; our relationship was complicated and contractual. The man with the woman was out of the question. That left only Kylian, the handsome guy with the microphone.I glanced at Kylian.He seemed amiable enough.It had to be him!Summoning my courage, I stood up.Beside me, Valentino's lips curled slightly. He had been anticipating my kiss, strangely relieved and almost happy.But just as he waited for me to approach him, I bypassed him and walked over to Kylian instead.Valentino's expression darkened momentarily.Is this woman out of her mind?She chose Kylian over him, right beside her? Did she even realize who Kylian was?As Valentino's cold, intense gaze fixed on me, a chill swept through the room.Approaching Kylian, I asked in a low voice, "Is this alright?""Huh? Are you kidding, Sasha?" Kylian chuckled nervously, recoiling slightly. He knew all too well the deadly glare Valentino was shooting his way

    Valentino’s POV I promised if I found Sasha, I was going to make her my wife. This time for real and no longer would she be a placeholder. “Arrgh,” I screamed as Jared let me in on Sasha being kidnapped by that fool, Dave Martin. I had beaten him to a bulb and had him leave her alone. After all these years, all these moments, he had been lurking, laying siege to Sasha, and I..I foolishly let her leave into harm’s way. Sasha was a beautiful bird and a lot of predators were circling her, trying to take advantage of her. “Get me Dave on the line, Jared,” my voice hurried as I threw my fists in the air. “Dave Partner boss?” Jared questioned. I didn’t know if to smack his face or to laugh this over with but there were no jokes tonight. Only thing on my mind was getting Sasha back, here with me, whole and as my real wife. “Fuck it Jared, I’m talking about Dave Martin, get him on the line now. Didn’t you just tell me he’s the one who’s got Sasha and you're talking some gibberish.”

    Sasha’s POV “Let me go…please..let..me..g…” I had a wood plank on my head and I lost consciousness. It was at this moment I wished I had not run away from Valentino. Problems seemed to follow me each time I was away from him. He was a refuge and a strong fortress for me and this time, more than ever, I hoped he’d found me. I felt a weight over my body as I slowly gained consciousness. Studying the environment, I opened my right eye slowly, as it hurt so much, and my head hurt so much to open even my very own eyes. I was tied up in a chair and I couldn’t tell where exactly I was but it didn’t seem like a warehouse. I could tell this was someone’s house but couldn’t tell who exactly it was. “I am blindfolded so how do I even know where this is,” I uttered under my breath. Maybe I should scream and some passer-by could come to my rescue or call the police and I could get out of here. I didn’t want any of those men who must have brought me here to find me here. They were damn mea

    Sasha’s POV “What was that?” I yelled, my voice shaking with frustration. I couldn’t believe Emilia had let me down like this. She was the only one I had trusted with my secret, the only person who knew exactly where I was. I had begged her not to tell anyone until I was far away, safe in Spain. And now, it felt like everything was crashing down around me. I felt this deep pain in my chest like someone was pressing down on me with the weight of a thousand boulders. Everything I loved had been ripped away from me. My family was gone, my company had been stolen from me, and even Valentino—my Valentino—was no longer by my side. There was nothing left for me here. Nothing. But when I heard Valentino’s voice over the phone, it did something to me. It was like a tiny spark in a room full of darkness. My heart, which had felt so cold and broken, suddenly stirred with the smallest flicker of life. “I can’t do this anymore,” I whispered, talking to no one but myself. “I can’t stay here.

    Valentino's POV I grab Emilia’s phone and frantically try to call Sasha, but I can’t get through. Frustrated, I look at Emilia coldly and ask, "Do you know where she is? What do you know about her?" "I... I don’t know," Emilia says, frowning. "Sasha is being super careful this time. She didn’t tell me where she’s staying. She said you might come looking for her through me, so she didn’t want to risk it because she thinks I can't keep a secret." Emilia pouts, looking all upset. "But it's late. Maybe she's already asleep, so not picking up isn’t that weird." Jared turns to me. "What about tomorrow?" I frown, thinking it over for a second. "Track her number. Find out where Sasha is," I say, determined. "Alright, I’ll get someone to track her phone and find her," Jared replies, nodding. Emilia just watches us, looking a little confused. She pouts again, like she’s thinking something over, but doesn’t say anything after a while. Finally, she shrugs. "You guys do your thing. I’m

    Valentino's POV Sasha disappeared, and for two days, I, Valentino, searched for her, but I couldn’t find her anywhere.Jared was looking everywhere too. He tried all kinds of things, but it felt like someone was always getting in the way. Many surveillance cameras had been hacked, and some videos were missing, so he couldn’t find Sasha directly.I was left with no choice but to use the simplest method: sending a lot of people to ask about Sasha’s whereabouts.All over the city, people were taking photos of Sasha, trying to find out where she was.But no one knew where she had gone.It was like she had vanished completely.I was losing my mind. I couldn’t believe Sasha had disappeared from my life, and I just couldn’t accept it.“It’s time for you to eat, sir,” one of the maids said, sounding worried about me. I had lost a lot of weight in just two days. “Even if you don’t eat, your wife might not show up. You should have a good meal. I don’t think she would want to see you like this.

    Sasha's POV I looked at Gabriel like he was an idiot. "If I went to be a cook with this kind of skill, I'd probably get myself killed..."Seriously, who doesn’t know how to make hot pot? It’s just tossing everything into a pot to cook. When I was studying abroad and craved hot pot, I used to make it in my dorm all the time."Really? It all looks so delicious. You seem pretty talented. How could you get yourself killed? If anyone dares to mess with you, I'll take care of them first," Gabriel said, grabbing his chopsticks to sneak a taste.Once I finished setting the table, I told him, "Sit down and eat.""Alright," he replied.But just as Gabriel was about to sit, the doorbell rang."Who is it?" I asked, looking at him."I'll go check. Maybe it's some big star!" Gabriel joked as he ran to the door, chatting briefly with whoever was outside.From the sound of it, it seemed like more than one person had shown up. A little curious, I peeked out and saw a familiar face.Why is he here?I

    Sasha's POV The maid stopped me as I was leaving and asked, "Where are you going, ma'am?"It seemed like she was confused about why I was leaving. Everyone always thought my husband and I were close, so this sudden departure must've seemed strange. Maybe they thought Sandra had some evil plan to push me out.The maids didn’t trust Sandra. They knew she wasn’t a good person, and it seemed like they wanted me to stay.I smiled at the maid and said, "I'm leaving. I'll see you later."I tried to walk out with my head held high, pretending everything was okay. But inside, I was breaking. I was sad, hurt, and didn’t want to leave at all.As I walked out, I could feel Sandra’s eyes on me. I knew she was smiling, satisfied with herself. With me gone, she probably thought she could hide better and make Valentino forget about me.The maids were glaring at Sandra, clearly not happy with her. But she didn’t care. She knew she would be the lady of the house soon and could treat them however she l

    Valentino's POV I came back home, but I couldn’t sleep all night.Early the next morning, my phone rang. It was my grandfather telling me to come back to the old house.“I got it. I’ll be there soon,” I replied before hanging up.After changing into a fresh set of clothes, I went to Sasha’s room. She drank too much last night and stayed up late, so she was still fast asleep. Her sleeping posture was a bit messy, almost childlike, but she looked so cute.I tucked her in before heading downstairs.“My wife is still sleeping. When she wakes up, make sure to prepare some breakfast and soup to help with the hangover. If she’s not feeling well, call a doctor to check on her. I’m heading out.”“Yes, sir.”I drove off, leaving the maids to continue their work. I overheard them talking about yesterday and how drunk my wife had gotten.But one thing was clear—they knew I cared about her. They’d make sure she was well taken care of.I pulled up in front of the old house in my car. As I stepped
