A shameless proposal

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-07 19:06:02
It was an ordinary afternoon, with Rachel and me sitting in the living room, sharing stories and laughs. I hadn’t thought much about Victoria since the engagement party. I hoped she would stay away and let us enjoy some peace. But just as I was starting to feel relaxed, there was a sharp knock at the door.

I looked at Rachel, surprised. “Are you expecting anyone?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.

“No,” I said, feeling a little uneasy. I stood up and went to open the door.

And there she was—Victoria. She was dressed up as if she was going somewhere fancy, her hair perfectly styled, and her lipstick a bold red. She looked at me with a smug expression, not a hint of shame in her eyes.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm.

“Can I come in?” she asked, ignoring my question and stepping inside before I could answer.

Rachel was still on the couch, her eyebrows knitting together in confusion. “Victoria? What are you doing here?”

Victoria ignored Rachel, her eyes

  • Taken By My boss   a new chapter begins

    The next morning, I woke up to find Harrison already up and getting dressed. I could tell it was going to be one of those busy days, but for some reason, I didn’t mind. I was still feeling a little nervous about all the changes in my life being engaged, having a family, and now being part of Harrison’s world. But there was also excitement. I knew that this new chapter was going to be full of new experiences, and I couldn’t wait to see where it would take us. “Good morning, Emma,” Harrison said with a soft smile, his voice still low from sleep. He was sitting at the edge of the bed, pulling on his shoes. “Good morning,” I replied, sitting up and stretching. “What are you up to today?” “I’ve got a meeting at the office,” he said, glancing at me. “But I was thinking… I’d love if you came with me.” I raised an eyebrow. “To the office? Why?” Harrison chuckled softly. “I want to introduce you to some of the people I work with. I think it’s time you met the team. Plus, it’ll be nice for

  • Taken By My boss   The unthinkable

    I thought everything was finally falling into place. After the meeting at Harrison's office, I felt like I was beginning to understand my place in his world. Things felt calm, normal, and even happy. I was with Harrison, we had Ethan, and for the first time in a long time, I felt like I could be truly happy. But life has a way of throwing curveballs when you least expect it. And this time, it hit me harder than anything before. It was a quiet afternoon, and Harrison had just left to take care of some business. Ethan was taking his nap, and I was sitting in the living room, flipping through a magazine, when my phone rang. The number on the screen was unfamiliar, but something about it made my stomach twist in warning. I hesitated before answering, feeling a sense of unease creeping up on me. “Hello?” I said, my voice steady despite the nervous feeling inside. “Is this Emma?” A deep voice, gruff and cold, answered. It made me shiver. “Yes, this is Emma,” I replied, my heart starting

  • Taken By My boss   The threatening call

    The room was quiet, but the air felt heavy. I was still trying to calm down from the shock of hearing that Rachel had been kidnapped. Harrison had just finished his phone call with the police, and I was trying to pull myself together. The thought of Rachel in danger was enough to make my heart race, but with Harrison by my side, I tried to believe that everything would be okay. I sat on the couch, still trembling, and tried to steady my breath. Harrison walked around the room, making arrangements, and I could see the determination in his eyes. He wasn’t going to stop until Rachel was safe. I could tell by the way he moved, by the way he spoke, that he was doing everything in his power to make sure nothing happened to her. But even as I tried to gather my strength, there was one thought that kept nagging at the back of my mind. The phone call. The first call had been bad enough, but now, there was a new fear growing inside me. What if I had made a mistake by telling Harrison and the

    The air around me felt heavy, almost suffocating. My mind was in a whirlwind of confusion and fear after the phone call with the kidnappers. My heart raced as I clutched the phone in my hand, unable to make sense of it all. They had threatened me again, their voice harsh and unforgiving. I couldn’t comprehend how they knew I had called the police. How did they know? Harrison was standing nearby, his brow furrowed in concern as he paced back and forth, talking to someone on the phone. His deep voice was steady, trying to comfort me, but the weight of the situation pressed down on me. How had this all gone so wrong? “Emma, are you alright?” Harrison asked softly, his voice full of concern. He stepped closer and put his hand gently on my shoulder. I barely registered his touch as my mind swirled with thoughts of Rachel. How could she be in danger because of me? I had to do something. I had to find her. “I don’t know what to do,” I whispered, feeling the tears well up in my eyes. “What

    Rachel’s body ached from the ropes that bound her to the chair, but the fire in her chest burned brighter than the pain. Victoria stood before her, cold and unfeeling as always, but Rachel wasn’t going to let her sister’s icy demeanor hold her back this time. "Do you think I don’t know what you’ve been doing?" Rachel’s voice was rough, but steady. She refused to let the fear take hold. "You’ve always been our father’s favorite. You’ve always had everything handed to you, while I was left to suffer. I wasn’t his first choice, I wasn’t his second hell, I wasn’t even a second thought. You were. Always you. He didn’t care about me, not when I needed him most. He never cared about me." Victoria didn’t flinch, but Rachel saw the subtle tightening of her sister's jaw. That was enough. Rachel wasn’t backing down now. "You think you’ve got the upper hand now, don’t you?" Rachel continued, her voice rising with each word. "You think you’re in control, but all you’ve done is hurt everyone arou

    Victoria sat alone in the darkened room, her mind racing with the choices that had led her here. Everything she’d done, every decision, had been calculated. She knew what she was doing. She had to. If she didn't, everything would fall apart, and she couldn't let that happen. Not now. She couldn’t ignore the fact that Rachel was a loose end someone who knew too much. But, as much as Victoria wanted to see her suffer, she wasn’t prepared to see her dead. Not yet. Rachel’s existence had its purpose, even if that purpose was tied to a much darker plan. Victoria knew the power of secrets all too well, and she had her own to protect. The door creaked open, and Victoria’s mind snapped back to the present. Mr. Blackwood, a figure from her past, stepped into the room. His presence was unsettling, like a shadow that threatened to swallow everything around it. He had been hiding for a long time, but Victoria had always known where he was. She had a way of keeping tabs on everyone, especially th

    The moment Mr. Blackwood walked out, Victoria exhaled a breath she didn’t realize she’d been holding. Her eyes locked onto her sister, who still sat there, tied to the chair, her expression a mix of fear and disbelief. Victoria crossed the room slowly, her heart still racing from the tense encounter with Blackwood. She couldn’t afford to show any weakness, not now, not when everything was teetering on the edge. Without saying a word, she moved to Rachel’s side and began untangling the ropes that bound her wrists. The cool, detached side of Victoria had taken control again, pushing aside any remnants of the inner turmoil that had tried to surface. Rachel didn’t speak at first, staring at her sister in stunned silence. She’d expected death. She’d expected the worst. But here was Victoria, standing before her, freeing her from the ropes. “What are you doing?” Rachel whispered, disbelief in her voice. “You’re letting me go? After everything?” Victoria didn’t respond right away. She fo

    The news of Victoria’s death hit me like a punch to the gut, but there was no time to process it. Rachel had been found, half-dead on a dark road, barely clinging to life. Now, she was here in the hospital, and I could hardly breathe as I waited for the doctors to tell me if she’d pull through. When I arrived, they were already working on her. I paced outside the emergency room, my heart racing, helpless as I imagined Rachel alone, bleeding, struggling. I couldn’t shake the image of her, staggering along some empty road, searching desperately for someone to help her. And then, thank God, that man had seen her. He must have been horrified Rachel, dragging herself along the road, her hand bleeding, her body slumped from exhaustion and pain. I imagined him pulling over in shock, getting out of his car, reaching for her as she collapsed in his arms. He’d managed to get her here in time, but it was too close. I couldn’t stop wondering how she’d survived how she’d made it that far with e

  • 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

    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
