"Don't be naive; you know how dangerous this world is. Hell is paved with good intentions." "I'm full too, just not with good intentions." Albert got out of there in such a hurry that Max had no way of reaching him. Sometimes he couldn't stand Max and everyone else in the world; there were things

Albert "Abby? Abby." He could hear Max's blurry voice calling him as if he were underwater. Albert had his head buried between his legs, having a mild crisis of despair. “Rick and the others are already worried. Are you going to come out of this toilette or not?" Max was still slamming the cabin do
"Look how you talk to me, girl!" Max countered. "It's not because Albert supports you here that I have to put up with you. Fuck you! Do you fill your mouth to call that theater dating, you deluded?

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
