A complicated affair

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-29 02:46:49

As the elevator reached the ground floor, the doors slid open, and we stepped out into the bustling office space.

The contrast between the serene suite and the chaos of the office was jarring, but Harrison's strong presence at my side was reassuring. We walked back into the office, and just as we were about to enter his office, a male worker, sweat beading on his forehead, rushed over.

"Mr. Harrison," he panted, his eyes flickering between us before focusing solely on Harrison. "Sir, Mr. Luca is looking for you. He said it's urgent."

Harrison's grip on my hand tightened almost imperceptibly, his jaw clenching. "Tell him I'll be there in a minute," he said, his voice cold and dismissive. The worker nodded and retreated, his eyes lingering on me before the door swung shut behind him.

"What's going on?" I asked, the worry in my voice unmistakable.

Harrison squeezed my hand reassuringly. "It's nothing you need to worry about," he said, his voice firm. "Just some business. I'll be back so

    As if the day wasn’t challenging enough, I walked out of the office, only to have a car pull up right in front of me. A tall, handsome man with perfectly styled dark hair and sharp blue eyes was inside, watching me with an intense gaze that made me feel like he could see right through me. I tried to ignore him, but he stepped out smoothly, moving with a grace that reminded me of a cat stalking prey. Just then, he opened the backseat door for someone else.Out stepped a teenage boy, smelling of wealth and arrogance. He looked at me with a smug grin. “You’re the new secretary, right?” he asked, and I nodded, feeling suddenly trapped. “Emma, isn’t it?” He said my name slowly, his voice almost mocking, his eyes making me feel like he saw me as some prize to claim.“My dad told me a lot about you, Miss Emma. Heard some good things.” His voice dripped with sarcasm. I forced a polite smile. “Thank you.”“Call me Luis,” he said. He looked like a younger version of Harrison, but something abo

  • Taken By My boss    A step away from the past

    As I pulled away, Rachel's eyes looked into mine, her face showing regret and sadness. "You're stronger than you think," she whispered. "Remember that."Her words hung in the air as I hugged her back, feeling the warmth of her embrace. I took a deep breath, trying to prepare for what was to come. "Thank you," I whispered, my voice heavy with tears. "For everything."Rachel nodded, her eyes filled with unshed tears. "Now go," she urged, gently pushing me toward the door. "Before it's too late."I took a deep breath and stepped into the unknown, the cold evening air a sharp contrast to the warmth of Rachel's hug. The mansion’s lights flickered behind me, and the shadows seemed to move on their own. As I walked to the hidden exit, every creak of the floor felt loud in the silence. I gripped the envelope tightly, the cold cash feeling like a lifeline in my trembling hand.Walking toward the gate, the weight of the mansion’s secrets pressed down on me. Each step felt like a promise of rebe

  • Taken By My boss   Beyond the mansion's Walls

    The cash in my pocket reminded me of the need to put distance between myself and the mansion. I knew Rachel was helping me, but the thought of facing Harrison again filled me with a deep, sharp dread. If I stayed, I'd never truly be free from Mr. Luca's control.With shaking hands, I booked a flight to the UK, hesitating a moment over the “Confirm” button. This was it—I was committing to an unknown future, away from the only home I’d known. Rachel had sent me enough money to start over, and I was determined to make it work.I packed my few things into a small suitcase, feeling both excited and terrified. The UK, a place I’d only seen in movies, was now my escape. I had no idea what waited for me there, but just thinking about leaving kept me going.A notification on my phone showed Rachel had sent another transfer. She'd given me enough not only to disappear but to begin again. A fresh start, far from the mansion and the dangerous games we were caught in. I felt a spark of hope rise i

    Once I reached my hotel room, I fell onto the bed, completely drained. I knew I had to stay alert and set an alarm for early morning, but as soon as my head hit the pillow, sleep took over. It felt like I was sinking into a deep, peaceful darkness—a much-needed break from the day’s craziness.When I woke up, the light seeping through the curtains reminded me that reality was waiting.

    A silence fell between us, then she gasped. “Oh, Emma,” Rachel said, her voice a mix of shock and worry. “You have to be careful. They can’t find out about you.”My thoughts raced as I lay on the hospital bed, trying to grasp the reality of it all. “But, Rachel, I can’t just… get rid of it,” I said, my voice trembling. “It’s Harrison’s baby.”“Emma, listen to me,” Rachel said urgently, cutting through my confusion. “You don’t know what they can do. They’ll use the baby to control you. You have to think of what’s best for you.”But all I could think about was the tiny life growing inside me, a part of Harrison that no one could take away. “I can’t,” I said firmly. “I won’t.”Rachel’s voice softened. “I understand,” she said. “But please, be careful. They’re always watching. If they find out, they’ll come for you.”I nodded, tears running down my cheeks as I whispered, “Thank you, Rachel.”After I hung up, her warning sank in like a weight pressing on me.

  • Taken By My boss   The mask falls

    It had been over two years since I gave birth to Ethan, and our life was quiet until one afternoon when everything changed. I was watching TV with Ethan playing by my feet when Rachel's face appeared on the screen. She was standing next to Mr. Luca at a gala for the mansion's charity, looking completely transformed. Her smile was wide, but her eyes were different, almost... content.I froze, unable to process her glamorous appearance. This wasn’t the Rachel I remembered. I had always hoped she’d found a way out, a fresh start. But here she was, smiling and leaning against Luca’s side like she belonged there. She seemed happy, not at all like someone being forced.I grabbed my phone, desperate to call her, to understand why she was back in that life. But as I dialed, I got a message saying her number was no longer in service. My heart sank. She was truly out of my life, swallowed by the very world she had promised to help me escape.Just as I thought about packing to leave, there was a

    The sound of her heels clicking away was like nails in a coffin, the final nail in the coffin of our friendship. I was alone, in the dark, with Adrianne looming over me. I knew that I couldn't trust Rachel anymore. The only thing I had was the hope that she hadn't completely turned, that there was some semblance of the person I knew left in her.Adrianne remained silent as Rachel spoke, her eyes never leaving my face. Her expression was unreadable, a mask of indifference. I wondered if she was enjoying the show, or if she was just biding her time, waiting for her moment to strike.Once Rachel's cold laughter had faded into the background, she leaned down, her breath hot against my ear. "You're pathetic," she murmured. "Begging for the life of that little mistake you call a son.""He isn't a mistake, I yelled back, my voice cracking with rage. "He's innocent!"Adrianne's eyes narrowed, a smirk playing on her lips as she took a step closer to me. "Innocent?" she echoed. "That little bas

    The wall didn't give easily. It was as if it had been sealed shut for years, resisting my every effort. I grunted with the strain, my muscles burning as I pushed and pulled, desperation lending me strength. But it wouldn't move. I felt the panic rising in my chest, threatening to suffocate me.But I couldn't give up. I couldn't let them win. With a deep breath, I tried again, my fingers slipping into the crack. It was a futile effort, but the alternative was unthinkable. The wall was unyielding, a silent sentinel to my despair. But it wouldn't move.As the hours dragged on, the pain in my wrists and back grew unbearable. The room's chill seeped into my bones, making me shiver despite my fear-induced adrenaline. My thoughts kept drifting to Ethan, wondering where he was, if he was safe. I had to keep fighting, for him.With a heavy sigh, I slumped to the floor, my body aching from the struggle.

  • Taken By My boss   A day to remember

    The day had finally arrived. The morning sun poured through the windows, casting a warm golden glow over the house. Harrison stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the collar of his suit. His hands were steady, but his heart raced with excitement. Today was the day he would marry Emma, the woman who had brought light back into his life after so much darkness.He could hardly believe it. After everything they had gone through, after the pain, the uncertainty, and the fear, they had come this far. Now, they were about to start a new chapter together, one filled with love, happiness, and hope.Harrison looked at his reflection one last time, straightening his tie before walking out of the room. Downstairs, he could hear the soft murmur of voices. Rachel and Ethan were already there, helping with the final preparations. Emma was getting ready, and Harrison couldn’t wait to see her, to see the woman he would call his wife.He walked into the living room where Rachel and Ethan were waiting

  • Taken By My boss   Good news

    Harrison slowly opened his eyes, feeling the soft warmth of the bed around him. But as he turned to his side, he noticed something was missing. Emma wasn’t there. His heart skipped a beat. Where could she be? He rubbed his eyes and sat up, glancing around the room. She wasn’t on the other side of the bed, and the house felt unusually quiet. His mind raced as he pushed the covers off and got out of bed. Maybe she was in the sitting room or downstairs. He quickly walked out of the room, his steps light, as he looked for her. As he made his way down the hallway, he could hear voices coming from the sitting room. It sounded like Emma, Rachel, and Ethan. Harrison’s heart lifted a little at the sound of their voices. He smiled to himself, glad they were all together. It meant everything was okay. When he reached the sitting room, he stopped in the doorway. There, sitting together on the couch, were Emma, Rachel, Ethan, and the maid who had been helping with Ethan. They were all talking an

  • Taken By My boss   A new dawn

    Morning light crept into the room, soft and warm. Emma slowly opened her eyes, feeling the weight of Harrison’s arm around her. He was still sleeping, his breathing slow and steady. She smiled, her heart full of warmth. She had never felt this peaceful before. His presence beside her made everything feel right. But she didn’t want to wake him. He needed his rest. Carefully, she slid out of the bed, being as quiet as possible. The cold air of the room made her shiver slightly, but the memory of last night kept her warm. She tiptoed out of the room and into the sitting room, not wanting to disturb him further. Once she reached the sitting room, Emma let out a sigh of relief. It felt like her own space, a place where she could just think and breathe. She reached for the remote and switched on the TV, hoping for some distraction. The soft buzz of the screen came to life, but she didn’t expect what came next. The news anchor’s voice echoed through the room. “Breaking news: Mr. Blackwood

  • Taken By My boss   His desires

    The door clicked shut softly behind us as Harrison and I entered our room. The house was quiet, but the thought of everything that had happened still hung in the air. The past days had been a whirlwind of emotions, but now, in this moment, there was just the two of us. I walked towards the bed, my heart racing as I thought about everything we had been through. But before I could sit down, I felt Harrison’s presence behind me. I turned slowly, meeting his gaze, and my breath caught in my throat. His eyes were dark, filled with something I couldn’t quite read. He didn’t say anything at first, but I could feel the tension building between us. Without warning, he stepped forward, his hands reaching for me. My heart raced as he gently pulled me into his arms. The warmth of his body surrounded me, and for a moment, I let myself relax, feeling the safety and comfort he always gave me. But then, the moment shifted. Harrison’s hands moved to my waist, his touch firmer now, sending a ripple o

  • Taken By My boss   At home at last

    The moment we stepped through the door, a sense of relief washed over me. We were finally home. It felt like a lifetime since I had last walked through this threshold, but there was something different about this time. It wasn’t just the physical space—it was the change in the air, the way everything seemed just a little bit lighter, a little less heavy. It wasn’t perfect, not by any means, but it was a step in the right direction. I didn’t even have time to fully take in the warmth of the house before my feet were moving toward Ethan’s room. My heart had been heavy with worry ever since I’d heard about the accident. It was like I couldn’t breathe until I knew he was okay. I pushed open the door quietly, my eyes immediately searching for my son. Ethan lay in his crib, surrounded by the soft glow of the nightlight, the rhythmic rise and fall of his chest telling me that he was peacefully asleep. Relief filled me, but it was bittersweet. I stepped closer, careful not to disturb him. T

  • Taken By My boss   The apology

    The atmosphere in the hospital room was heavy, filled with unspoken words and lingering tension. The sterile smell of antiseptic mixed with the soft beeping of machines, the only sound breaking the silence. Rachel sat in the hospital bed, her eyes fixed on the door as she waited. She wasn’t sure what to expect from Luca, especially after everything he had done. But deep down, she hoped that, at the very least, he had changed. Luca stood by the door, his hands clenched tightly by his sides. His face was weary, eyes downcast, as if he was afraid to look anyone in the eye. He had been through so much, but nothing felt as heavy as what he had done to Rachel. He had hurt her, destroyed her family’s trust, and pushed her to the edge. The weight of his actions had followed him every day since, and now he had come to this moment to face the consequences. Harrison stood beside Luca, his presence offering quiet support. He hadn’t said much on the drive over, but Harrison knew this was importan

  • Taken By My boss   A new chapter

    the morning sun filled the room with a soft glow. Harrison looked at his brother, Luca. They had done something huge together, something that took all their strength. After everything they’d been through, he didn’t want to keep holding on to their old fights. “Luca,” Harrison said quietly, “I think it’s time we put all this behind us. There’s no point in fighting anymore. We’re brothers. We should stick together.” Before Harrison could say more, Luca spoke up. His voice was low, and there was a sadness in his eyes. “No, Harrison. I need to say something first. I’m sorry.” Harrison was surprised, so he stayed quiet, listening. “I’m sorry for all the pain I caused you, Emma, and Rachel,” Luca continued, looking down. “I let my hunger for power control me. I thought I was doing it for us, for the family, but it was just my pride. I was wrong.” Harrison could see Luca’s regret. This was the apology he had waited for, but now that it was here, it felt strange. He felt a mix of rel

  • Taken By My boss   The evidence released

    Back at Harrison’s apartment, the atmosphere was thick with tension. Harrison moved quietly, his mind still reeling from everything they’d gone through. He and Luca hadn’t spoken much on the way over; both were too lost in their own thoughts, each weighed down by the magnitude of what they were about to do. They were about to open a drive that held the only real chance they had to stop Mr. Blackwood—one of the most dangerous men they’d ever crossed paths with. Harrison took a deep breath, trying to steady himself as he plugged the USB drive into his laptop. His hands were trembling slightly. The weight of what they were about to witness filled him with a mix of dread and resolve. He knew they needed this evidence, but he couldn’t ignore the fact that whatever was on this drive had cost lives—especially the life of Rachel’s sister, a wound that still hadn’t healed. Luca sat beside him, watching Harrison with a calm and focused expression. But Harrison knew his brother well enough to s

    The drive to the hospital was tense and silent. Harrison focused on the road, replaying his approach to Rachel in his mind. He knew she’d be furious seeing Luca, but he also knew they needed her help. Beside him, Luca looked calm, but Harrison sensed his brother’s mind working just as intensely, planning his next steps. When they reached the hospital, Harrison paused outside Rachel’s door, taking a steadying breath. He wasn’t sure how Rachel would react, especially with Luca here. But there was no choice—they needed that USB drive, and time was running out. Pushing open the door quietly, he found Rachel asleep, her breathing soft and steady. The sight of her lying there, still and peaceful, stirred a wave of guilt in Harrison. She’d already sacrificed so much for them. Emma, who had been sitting quietly by Rachel’s bedside, looked up as they entered. She quickly moved over to Rachel and gently shook her shoulder. “Rachel, wake up,” Emma whispered, glancing warily at Luca. Rachel st
