Kylie’s POV.As Logan left my office, I watched him go, feeling satisfied and determined. The door closed behind him, and I turned my attention to the window. From there, I could see Flora being thrown out of the building by security. Her face was a twisted mask of fury and despair, her shouts echoing through the courtyard.“Prepare yourself, Anne! I won’t leave you easy!” Flora screamed, her voice dripping with venom. “I’ll find out who you really are, you and Logan both!”I couldn’t help but smile at her rage. “Poor Flora,” I thought, a smirk playing on my lips. “She’s scrambling in vain, like a moth to a flame. She doesn’t realize this battle was lost before it began.”I moved away from the window and sat back down in my chair, feeling the power of my position. “She still doesn’t know about the relationship between Anne and Graham,” I mused, tapping my fingers on the desk. “Once she finds out her precious man is already drooling over me, she’ll be in for the shock of her life.”
Kylie’s POV.I crouched in the shadows, my heart racing with anticipation. The moment I had been waiting for was about to unfold. Flora burst into Graham’s office, her face a mask of concern and confusion. “Graham!” she gasped, her chest heaving.Graham, unexpecting her visit, looked shocked to see her. “Flora, what are you doing here at this hour?”Flora, falling short of breath, said, “We need to get you to the hospital. Your secretary called and said you were very sick. What’s going on?”Graham’s eyes widened. “Flora, what are you talking about? I’m perfectly fine. Why would you think I’m sick?”Flora’s brow furrowed as she struggled to catch her breath. “Your secretary called me,” she insisted. “She said you needed to be taken to the hospital immediately.”Graham shook his head, a bewildered smile spreading across his face. “Flora, I think you’ve been pranked. I’m fine, see?” He spread his arms, showcasing his health.Flora, still uncertain, approached him and placed a hand
Kylie’s POV.I dialed Graham to finish our fallen-through dinner date, ready to ruin him further. I wouldn’t rest until Flora was utterly devastated. Simply taking Graham wasn’t enough; I needed to dismantle her world piece by piece. A smirk curled my lips as I waited for him to answer, having ignored his calls and texts for days. Now was the time to lure him back, to ensnare him even more tightly in my web.Graham answered on the first ring, his voice eager and desperate. “Anne! Finally, you called. Why have you been ignoring me? Did I do something wrong?”I bit back a laugh, keeping my tone sweet. “You didn’t reply to me after I left your office that day. The day you wanted to kiss me so badly.”His voice wavered, guilt creeping in. “I’m so sorry. Flora showed up right after you left and caused a scene. Please, forgive me.”I could picture him, torn between his guilt and his desire. “Who do you love more, Graham? Me or Flora?”There was a brief pause. I imagined his internal
Graham’s POV.My head pounded like a drum, my vision swimming in and out of focus as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. Someone was shaking me, their voice a distant, angry roar. I struggled to open my eyes, feeling like I was surfacing from a deep, dark ocean.“Graham! Wake up, you bastard!” Flora’s voice pierced through the fog in my mind, sharp and shrill. I blinked, my vision gradually clearing. Flora’s face came into view, twisted with fury.“What the hell…” I muttered, my throat dry and scratchy. I tried to sit up, the room spinning around me. “Where am I?”“You’re in a hotel room, you idiot!” Flora screamed, her face red with rage. “What have you done? Who were you with?”I ignored her for a moment, trying to piece together my fragmented memories. I looked down at myself, realizing I was nude. A wave of panic washed over me. “Anne… I was with Anne,” I thought, but the details were hazy. I couldn’t remember anything after we entered the room.Flora’s tirade continued
Kylie POV“It’s not what I want. But it’s what I have to do.”Those were the last words spoken by Graham. The last words he uttered to me before I bade him goodbye and left him behind in that seedy restaurant. Words that I had not expected to hear from him. Words that could set me back by weeks, if not months, in my quest for vengeance. Words that demanded an immediate change of plans. A course correction. A change of tack. I opened the door and went back to lie down on my bed.He came in quietly and locked the door silently. His probing eyes scanned my body from head to toe, searching for answers he could not find, looking for clues he could not spot. In the end, he did what he was best at. Sat down by my side and touched my forehead.“Are you sick?” Logan’s tone conveyed a genuine feeling of concern and worry, bewilderment and affection. “Anne, what’s going on?”“Nothing. Why?” I replied meekly and avoided making eye contact with him.“Why? Because you have not
Kylie POV“Ms. Anne, your 10 AM appointment is here,” the female employee managing the front desk informed me over the phone. “Mrs. Olivia Wilson has just arrived.”I was in my office—the corner office allotted to me by virtue of my designation as the General Manager of Logan’s pharmaceutical company, Novalife. The client I was scheduled to meet, the person who would bring me one step closer to my objective, had arrived for a meeting. She was none other than Olivia Smith Wilson, Graham’s mother.My ex-mother-in-law.She was now standing outside my door, waiting for an opportunity to meet me. I had been hiding from her since the day I survived Graham’s attempts to kill me. Now she was about to see my face for the first time.“Mrs. Wilson, Hi!” I stepped out of my office to greet her in person, breaching protocol. “Welcome to Novalife. Please come in.”Olivia was startled when she saw my face and heard my voice. As I had anticipated, she stood frozen in disbelief.
Logan’s POV.I stand by the window in my office, looking out over the city skyline. The sun is setting, casting long shadows across the streets below. There's important business to discuss with Ethan Wilson, Graham's father, and a long-time business partner. We need to finalize the details of a new partnership that could significantly benefit both our packs. I know I need to act swiftly and decisively.I call my driver and head to Ethan's office. As the car winds through the busy streets, my mind is calm, thinking about the productive meeting ahead. This deal could be a game-changer for both of our businesses. Ethan and I have had a solid working relationship for years, and I trust his business acumen.Upon arriving at the office, the receptionist greets me warmly. "Good evening, Mr. Logan. How can I assist you today?""I have some urgent business to discuss with Mr. Ethan Wilson," I reply, my tone firm yet polite."Of course, sir," she says, nodding. "One moment, please."She ma
Kylie’s POV.Flora’s audacity is infuriating. How dare she try to undermine everything I have built? I learned about her scheme to import cheap drugs from Thailand, rebrand them, and sell them at exorbitant prices. This was more than just unethical; it was criminal.My phone buzzes, and I see it’s my trusted beta, Mark. "Luna," he begins, his voice serious, "I've found out why Flora is so desperate.""Go on," I urge him, already feeling the anger simmering just below the surface."It turns out Flora’s company was on the verge of being acquired by our company. To prevent this, she resorted to these fraudulent tactics. She purchased those cheap drugs from Thailand, replaced the bottles with her company's labels, and sold them at high prices to keep her business afloat. Not only that, but she also wanted to snatch away one of our major clients through deception."I grip the edge of my desk, my knuckles turning white. "I guessed so!"Mark nods, his expression grim. "Yes, Luna. She’s
