JasonSeeing Laura kiss another man was so painful for me that I couldn't even explain it, it hurt as much as if I had been hit by a train. They were there right in front of me, kissing and destroying me. I felt so much hatred that I didn't think twice and went after that idiot, really wanting to ki
LauraFrom what happened in the following days, I could see that Jason was trying to stay away from me, he stopped showing up at Nemesis and stopped trying to invest in me like he did before. I was told that he had returned to his main company, which was good news for me as I could now work without
I could hear the board laughing softly, finding my presentation amusing. I smiled at them and played the first video. Where beautiful models paraded the Nemesis brand's new winter collection attractively and charmingly, there was something in the light, the setting, the editing, and the angle at whi
Laura "God in heaven, how arrogant that man is! A complete son of a bitch! How did you manage to stay married to him for so long?" Said Mia, who was one of the designers responsible for the project. A few minutes ago Jason had left the meeting room after turning down our arduous project in such a
"So you did all this to humiliate me and show that you're in charge?" I asked with my head held high. Two weeks had passed since the last time I had seen him, the day I kissed Richard in front of him and then there was that fight, two weeks had passed and I thought Jason was going to forget me and g
Laura I was in disbelief at all the nonsense Jason was saying. A kiss? Did he want me to kiss him to clear the project? Good heavens, Jason was unbelievable! "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you asking me?" I asked, quite surprised by what he just said. I hadn't kissed him in about five years. Ho
LauraI spent the entire weekend working on the project, I barely ate, and I went to sleep at around 4 am to wake up at 6 am, have some coffee, and go back to work, but no matter how much I applied myself and gave my all, I should recognize that the work I was doing had lost its essence. It no longe
"Wow, that sounds interesting. Keep me informed, feed my gossip spirit," he asked, and I laughed. "I'll tell you something later. Now I have to go.""All right then, have a great afternoon with the billionaire," he said. "See you later. Hugs," I said goodbye to him, turning off the cell phone and
Gideon POV I was there in the car, and I still couldn't believe that Lindsay was kissing me. After so long yearning for this moment, and suddenly, with a piece of advice from Jason and a day of practicing that advice, there she was, surrendering to me, kissing me with a passion that consumed me fro
Lindsay's POV I didn't know what to expect when I returned to work knowing that Gideon would be my new boss, but I certainly didn't imagine the day would be a whirlwind of emotions. The idea of working alongside my ex-husband didn't seem easy, but I was determined to show that I am professional, ca
Lindsay POV I was in the women's bathroom, watching my reflection in the mirror as I tried to compose myself to face Gideon once again. Seeing him there at the company had already been a surreal surprise, but finding out that he would be my new boss? It had completely disarmed me. I had even yelled
Laura POV I was lying on the dark blue sofa in my office, feeling every nerve in my body tense as if it were about to snap. Sunlight streamed through the windows, but it couldn't dispel the darkness of the day unfolding. The morning had started with Zoey's dismissal, leaving a bitter taste of betra
Lindsay POV I was boiling with anger. Each step I took in Laura's office seemed to echo my frustration. How could she have done this to me? "What the hell was that? What is Gideon Bathory doing here?" It was true that I was screaming somewhat hysterically, but no one could blame me for anything si
Lindsay's POV Seeing my ex-husband there in front of me, as the new director of Hextec, and not only that, but assigning me to be his assistant, was a shock. My heart almost stopped when I realized that my new boss would be Gideon. He had a look that seemed to apologize, but there was also a deter
"I really feel sorry for this unsettling situation," I commented, not knowing what to think. Laura nodded and then rubbed her face as if trying to shake off that bad feeling. "But enough of that. I have something for you." She handed me a stack of documents with trembling hands. "We have a new dire
Lindsay POV "Mommy, are you going to bring me chocolate when you get off work today?" my boy asked me over the phone. I gave a little laugh, loving to hear his voice on the other end of the line. "Yes, my love. Mommy will bring you a giant chocolate," I replied. "Yay! That way I can save some for
Zoey POV I was having one of those days you wish you could erase from your memory, one of those you'd rather never have lived. It all started with the ugly fight I had with Chad, which ended with him taking Max to the police station. That night, Chad shouldn't have come back home, but he did, and h
