Rediscovering Odette Chapter Fifteen
The city seemed eerily quiet as Odette rode back to her apartment, her thoughts heavy with the events of the evening. Daisy’s betrayal, Anton’s unrelenting control over the situation, and the lingering question of who else might be involved all swirled in her mind. She barely noticed the familiar sights of Manhattan passing by, the glow of the city failing to comfort her as it once had.When she stepped into her apartment, Amerie was waiting, her face a mixture of curiosity and concern.“Well?” Amerie asked, crossing her arms. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”Odette sighed, dropping her bag onto the floor and sinking onto the couch. “Daisy’s gone. Anton confronted her. She admitted to everything.”Amerie’s eyebrows shot up. “What do you mean, ‘gone’? Like, gone gone?”“Not like that,” Odette replied quickly, shaking her head. “She’s been… let’s just say Anton gave her a strong incentive to leave the city. Permanently.”“Wow.” Amerie sat down beside her. “And you? Are you okay?”“I

Odette stared at her phone, her breath catching in her throat. The anonymous text glared back at her, its cryptic warning igniting a storm of unease. Her fingers hovered over the screen as she debated whether to show the message to Anton. After all, wasn’t he the one always insisting that she was in danger?But another part of her hesitated. What if Anton wasn’t the only one watching her? What if this was a warning from someone inside Claude’s firm?As the evening deepened, Odette decided to let it rest for now. She tucked her phone into her bag and drove home, her mind buzzing with questions.The next morning, Odette entered the office with an air of determination. Daisy was gone, but the threat wasn’t. And if there was another mole in the firm, she needed to figure out who it was before they caused any more damage.She approached Doug’s desk, her usual smile in place despite the anxiety churning inside her. “Morning, Doug. Got a minute?”Doug looked up, his face betraying a flicker

Odette sat in her car, parked a block from Anton’s hotel, her hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles were white. The anonymous text played on a loop in her mind, each word a fresh warning that her involvement in this tangled web wasn’t just dangerous—it was personal.Taking a deep breath, she exited the car and walked toward the entrance. The doorman gave her a polite nod, holding the door open as she entered the opulent lobby. The grandeur of the Rosier Group’s presence in New York City was undeniable, but tonight it felt oppressive.The elevator ride to Anton’s suite seemed to stretch forever, and by the time she reached his floor, her nerves were frayed. She knocked on his door, her heart pounding.It opened almost immediately, revealing Anton in a crisp white shirt, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His silver-grey eyes darkened the moment he saw her expression.“You got another text,” he said, stepping aside to let her in.Odette nodded, brushing past him an

Odette stood outside Anton’s suite, her heart pounding. The stakes were higher than ever, but as she lifted her hand to knock, she couldn’t deny the pull she felt toward him—an undeniable current of emotions she couldn’t untangle.Before she could knock, the door opened. Anton stood there, his usual calm demeanor replaced with an edge of tension. His silver-grey eyes met hers, softening slightly as he stepped aside to let her in.“You got here fast,” he said, closing the door behind her.“You didn’t give me much of a choice,” she replied, her voice clipped.Anton ran a hand through his white-blond hair, a rare sign of frustration. “We have to figure out who’s behind this, Odette. It’s not just about the project anymore. They’re targeting us—both of us.”Odette dropped her bag onto the couch, crossing her arms. “I get that, Anton. But what are we supposed to do? Sit around and wait for them to make the next move?”“No,” Anton said, stepping closer. “We take control. We’ve already got D

The morning light filtered through the curtains of Anton’s suite, casting soft rays across the room. Odette stirred, her head nestled against Anton’s chest. For a brief, fleeting moment, she felt a peace she hadn’t known in years.But reality was quick to return. The mess they were entangled in wasn’t going away. Neither were the threats or unanswered questions.Anton shifted beneath her, his arm tightening slightly around her waist. “You’re awake,” he said, his voice husky with sleep.Odette tilted her head to look at him. “Barely.”A small, rare smile tugged at his lips. “You could stay here a little longer.”She sighed, sitting up despite his protests. “We can’t. Not with everything going on.”Anton sat up as well, his expression sobering. “You’re right. We have work to do.”Odette slid off the couch, smoothing her shirt and trying to ignore the warmth still lingering from their closeness. “What’s the next step?”“We confront Doug today,” Anton said, standing and stretching. “Brend

The clock ticked past midnight, but Odette couldn’t sleep. She lay in bed, staring at the faint glow of the city lights through her window, her mind racing with everything Doug had revealed. The Sokolovs had infiltrated her workplace, and now they were using Doug as a pawn to sabotage Anton’s empire—and by extension, her career.A sudden vibration from her phone broke the silence, jolting her upright. She grabbed it, her breath catching when she saw the message.Come to the office now. It’s urgent.It was from Doug.Her stomach twisted with unease, but she didn’t hesitate. She quickly dressed and grabbed her keys, ignoring Amerie’s half-asleep inquiry from the other room.The office was eerily quiet when she arrived. The usual hum of the city outside seemed muted, the shadows in the building longer and darker than usual. Odette made her way to the design department, her heels clicking against the polished floor.When she reached Doug’s desk, it was empty.“Doug?” she called softly, he

Odette sat in Anton’s penthouse, the manila folder still in her lap. Her fingers idly traced the edge of the papers as Anton paced the length of the room. The usually unflappable man looked anything but composed.“You’re not safe at your apartment anymore,” Anton said, his voice taut with suppressed emotion. “I can’t believe they’d escalate like this.”Odette felt her chest tighten. “You think the Sokolovs left that folder?”Anton stopped pacing and faced her, his silver-gray eyes dark with frustration. “They’re sending a message, Odette. They’re warning me. But now, you’re in the crossfire, and that’s something I can’t allow.”“You can’t allow?” she snapped, standing up. The folder slipped from her lap and spilled onto the coffee table, photos fanning out like a sinister deck of cards. “Anton, I didn’t ask to be in this ‘crossfire’! You dragged me into it!”His jaw tightened. “You think I wanted this? You think I haven’t been trying to keep you out of it since the moment I walked bac

The morning after their night together, Odette lay in bed, the warmth of Anton’s embrace still lingering on her skin. She had never felt more conflicted in her life. His promises, the raw honesty in his eyes—it all felt so real. But the doubt still gnawed at her. He was hiding something, and deep down, she feared it wasn’t just about his past. She sat up, smoothing her messy hair, and glanced at the clock. It was already past ten, and she was late for work. Her phone buzzed on the nightstand, a message from Doug, who had been quiet lately after the office incident. She frowned, wondering if there was more to his silence than he was letting on. Still, she wasn’t in the mood to dwell on it right now. She glanced over at the chair where Anton had left his clothes—his suit jacket hung carelessly over the back, the dark fabric a stark contrast to the soft morning light filtering through the window. She had to admit, everything about him—the way he held her, the way he spoke, the way he

Rediscovering Odette Final Chapter
Anton had spent months proving himself.Months of waiting.Of constantly showing up.Of continually choosing her, over and over again.And Odette had spent those same months resisting.Not because she didn’t love him.But because loving him had never been the problem.Trusting him was and she is so scared of giving out her heart again. But trust—real trust—wasn’t won overnight.It was built, brick by brick, moment by moment.And Anton?Anton had laid the foundation, patiently and relentlessly.Until finally—Odette let herself believe it.Believe him.Believe everything he has been trying to prove. And for the first time since this all began—she let herself want him again, this time with no doubts. Really, truly, want him.Not as a ghost from her past.Not as a memory she tried to bury.But as a man who had fought for her.And won.A man whom she has given her heart to. The first time they went out in public together, the world noticed.Odette hadn’t wanted a spectacle, but she di
Rediscovering Odette Chapter One Hundred-and-Sixteen
Odette had spent months convincing herself she could live without Anton.That she was better off without him.That she had moved on.But every time she saw him, every time he showed up and didn’t push, every time he just… waited—Her resolve cracked.And tonight, it finally broke.It had been a long day.Her body ached, exhaustion pressing against her limbs like a weight she couldn’t shake.She had spent the afternoon organizing the nursery—folding tiny clothes, arranging baby books, trying to ignore the growing sense of anticipation and fear inside her.She wasn’t ready.Not for motherhood.Not for Anton.Not for any of it.But time didn’t care if she was ready.Time kept moving, pulling her forward whether she liked it or not.And now, as she stepped out of the building, the cool night air brushing against her skin, she felt so unbearably lost.Then she saw him.Anton stood near the curb, his presence as steady as ever.He didn’t say anything.Didn’t move toward her.He just waited.
Rediscovering Odette Chapter One Hundred-and-Fifteen
Odette was tired.Not physically—her body had adjusted to the pregnancy, the nausea had faded, and for the first time in weeks, she felt stable.No, this exhaustion ran deeper.It was the kind that weighed in her chest every time she saw him.Every time Anton appeared—silent, steady, unshaken—standing just close enough to remind her that he was still there.That he wasn’t leaving.Not this time.And she hated it.Hated that he made it so damn hard to push him away.Hated that he was doing everything right.And most of all—she hated that it was working.It started with small things.Little gestures that she didn’t notice at first.Or rather—refused to notice.Anton always kept his distance.But when she went to the grocery store, he was there—pretending to be occupied by something else.When she went to the doctor, he never followed her inside.But every time she stepped out of the clinic, she felt his presence.Like he was watching, waiting.Like he was protecting her.Like he was sti
Rediscovering Odette Chapter One Hundred-and-Fourteen
Odette stared at Anton, her heart hammering violently in her chest.I’m leaving it all behind.The words still echoed in her mind, pressing against the walls of her carefully built defenses.He was saying everything she had once wanted to hear.Everything she had once prayed for.But now?Now, it felt like too little, too late.Anton watched her, waiting.Giving her space.Giving her a choice.Odette inhaled sharply, forcing herself to steady.And then—She turned away.Her voice was quiet but firm.“You can’t just say things like that and expect me to believe you.”A muscle in Anton’s jaw tightened. “I’m not expecting you to believe me.”She looked back at him, eyes narrowing. “Then what are you expecting?”He held her gaze. “To prove it to you.”Odette clenched her fists.She hated that he was calm.She hated that he knew she wouldn’t walk away—not yet.Because she had questions.Because she still wanted answers.Because—**despite everything—**she still wanted him.And that was what
Rediscovering Odette Chapter One Hundred-and-Thirteen
Anton hadn’t spoken to Annika in weeks.Not because he didn’t trust her—but because he knew what she would say.He had been watching Odette.Keeping his distance.Waiting for the moment she would come to him.But she never did.And when Annika finally reached out, her voice was sharp with frustration.“You’re an idiot.”Anton pinched the bridge of his nose. “Annika—”“No. Listen to me,” she snapped. “I’ve kept my mouth shut long enough.”Anton exhaled slowly. “I don’t have time for this.”“You don’t have time?” Annika let out a bitter laugh. “You’ve had months. And you’re wasting all of them.”Anton didn’t respond.Because he already knew where this conversation was going.He could feel it.The shift.The weight of something inevitable.And then—Annika spoke the words that shattered him.“She’s pregnant.”Silence.The kind that suffocates.The kind that crushes.Anton’s grip tightened around the phone.His breath was slow. Controlled.But inside—inside, everything was collapsing.“Say
Rediscovering Odette Chapter One Hundred-and-Twelve
Odette had felt it the moment she stepped outside her apartment.The weight of eyes on her.A presence lingering just out of reach.At first, she had convinced herself it was paranoia. A trick of her mind.But as the days passed, it became harder to ignore.Anton was watching her.She felt it in the way certain shadows lingered longer than they should.In the subtle hum of something just beneath the surface.In the way her instincts—so finely tuned from months of survival—refused to let her dismiss it.And yet… he never approached her.Never confronted her.He just… watched.As if waiting for something.As if waiting for her.She first noticed it at the bookstore.A small, quiet shop tucked between a bakery and a florist. She had been running errands, determined to settle into her new normal.She was reaching for a book when a shift in the air made her glance toward the entrance.Anton stood outside, across the street.His hands were in his coat pockets, his sharp gaze unreadable.He
Rediscovering Odette Chapter One Hundred-and-Eleven
Odette’s breath caught in her throat.Anton stood across the café, his broad frame unmistakable even from a distance. He was mid-conversation with someone, but the second their eyes met, the world tilted.She knew this feeling.The sharp pull in her chest, the way the air seemed to thin around her, the sudden weight of everything unsaid pressing down on her shoulders.Anton’s expression was unreadable.But his storm-gray eyes—they saw her.Not just physically.He saw her.For a moment, neither of them moved.Odette’s fingers tightened around the strap of her purse. Every rational thought screamed at her to walk away.She could do it.She could turn around, push open the door, and pretend this never happened.But her legs wouldn’t move.Not yet.Anton’s posture shifted, his weight moving slightly forward.A hesitation.A decision.Then, before she could react, he started toward her.Odette’s pulse spiked.Her heart slammed against her ribs, and suddenly, she wasn’t ready.Not for this.
Rediscovering Odette Chapter One Hundred-and-Ten
Odette ran her fingers along the edge of the ultrasound photo, tracing the faint outline of the tiny life growing inside her.It had been a week since the scare.A week since she heard the heartbeat.A week since she had finally stopped lying to herself.She was going to be a mother.And for the first time since she found out, she let herself feel it.It was terrifying.But it was also… undeniable.She wasn’t sure when the fear started turning into something else—something quieter, something warmer.But it had.And that was enough.At least for now.She pressed the ultrasound photo between the pages of her notebook, closing it carefully before pushing it aside.Amerie walked in just as she finished, holding two cups of coffee. “Alright, I caved and smuggled this in. If they catch us, we were framed.”Odette snorted, taking the cup with a grateful nod.Amerie settled into the chair beside her. “How are you feeling?”Odette exhaled, wrapping her fingers around the cup. “Better.”It wasn
Rediscovering Odette Chapter One Hundred-and-Nine
Odette wasn’t sure when she started holding her breath.Maybe it was when the dizziness hit, sharp and sudden, making the walls of her hospital room blur.Maybe it was when she pressed a hand to her stomach, her heartbeat thundering beneath her palm.Or maybe it was when the pain started—not unbearable, but deep and sharp enough to make her panic.She sucked in a slow breath, forcing herself to stay still.This was nothing.It had to be nothing.She was fine.She repeated the thought over and over, but her body didn’t believe it.The pressure in her lower abdomen twisted, sending another dull ache through her.Odette clenched the sheets, her pulse hammering.No.Not this.Her fingers shook as she reached for her phone, nearly dropping it before managing to press Amerie’s contact.It barely rang before her best friend answered.“What’s wrong?”Odette tried to swallow the lump in her throat. “I—” She broke off, inhaling shakily. “I need you to come.”Amerie’s voice immediately sharpened
