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

  • Taken By My boss   The news

    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 sisterly bond

    I sat there, stunned, as Rachel drifted in and out of consciousness. Her weak breaths filled the silence, each one reminding me how close I had come to losing her. I couldn’t shake the shock of it all—Victoria, gone. Rachel, barely holding on. Then Rachel’s eyes fluttered open again, and she looked at me with a strange, unreadable expression, as though she wanted to say something but didn’t know how. “Emma…” she whispered, her voice barely audible. I leaned in, taking her hand again. “I’m here, Rachel. It’s okay. You’re safe now.” She swallowed, looking away, her fingers tightening around mine. “There’s something… I never told you.” Her voice was trembling, and I could see how much effort it took for her to get the words out. I tilted my head, trying to read her face. “What is it?” I asked gently, not wanting to push but sensing the weight of whatever she was about to say. Rachel took a shaky breath. “Emma, I… I don’t know how to say this. It’s just… I kept it from you for so lon

    I was sitting by Rachel’s bed, holding her hand, lost in a mix of emotions that I couldn’t put into words. Rachel’s confession still weighed heavy on my heart, but right now, all that mattered was that she was here, alive, and safe for the moment, at least. Suddenly, the door burst open, and Harrison rushed in, his face pale, eyes wide with worry as they landed on Rachel. He didn’t even seem to notice me at first; his gaze was locked on her, filled with such intense concern that I felt a strange sense of comfort. He cared about her really cared. “Rachel!” he breathed, his voice raw, almost breaking. He moved quickly to her bedside, dropping into the chair on her other side, reaching out to take her hand. “Are you… are you okay?” Rachel managed a faint smile as she looked up at him. “Harrison… you came.” “Of course, I did. I was so worried when I heard.” His grip on her hand was gentle but firm, like he couldn’t bear the thought of letting go. “I thought I’d lost you,” he murmured,

  • Taken By My boss   Dangerous revelation

    Rachel’s sudden plea pulled me out of my thoughts. She looked up at Harrison, her eyes wide with fear and urgency. “Harrison,” she called out, her voice trembling. “Please… you have to protect Emma and Ethan.” Her words made my heart skip a beat. Protect me and Ethan? I leaned closer, a cold chill creeping over me as I sensed the fear in her voice. Harrison's expression turned serious, and he squeezed her hand. “Rachel, what do you mean? What’s going on?” She took a shaky breath, her gaze darting between us. “Victoria… she was shot, Harrison. Mr. Blackwood did it. She tried to protect me, but she…” Rachel’s voice broke, and her face filled with sorrow. “Victoria gave her life for me, but he’s still out there. Mr. Blackwood is still free.” My stomach twisted. Mr. Blackwood. The name alone sent a chill through me. I had never seen Rachel this afraid, and her fear was starting to sink into me too. “If you don’t do something about it,” Rachel continued, clutching Harrison’s han

  • Taken By My boss   The price of the truth

    Harrison stood at the door, his hand resting on the handle. I could feel the tension in the air, the uncertainty of what was about to happen weighing heavily on him. He turned toward me, his face hard with determination. “I’m going to the police station to see Luca. He’s the only one who might have some answers about Blackwood.” I nodded, trying to hide the worry that was creeping into my chest. I knew this wasn’t going to be easy, and I couldn’t help but feel nervous. But Harrison had to do this. We needed answers. “Be careful, okay?” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “Please don’t do anything rash.” Harrison gave me a small smile, his eyes softening for a moment. “I’ll be fine, Emma. Don’t worry. I just have to make sure Luca talks. If he knows something about Blackwood, I need to hear it.” With that, he turned and walked out the door, his steps steady and sure. I stood by the window, watching him leave, my mind racing with thoughts of what was to come. Would Luca really

  • Taken By My boss   The visitor

    It was a quiet morning in the hospital. The soft beeping of machines filled the air, and Rachel lay in her bed, her eyes closed. The doctors said she was recovering well, but I could see the exhaustion on her face. It had been a long few days since she’d been shot, and even though she was safe now, the trauma still seemed to hang over her. I sat beside her, holding her hand, trying to offer her whatever comfort I could. It felt like the world had changed in the blink of an eye. First, Victoria was dead, and now Rachel was here, recovering from something that could have taken her life. I kept thinking about the warning she gave Harrison and me about Mr. Blackwood. He was still out there, and who knew what he would do next? But I pushed those thoughts aside for now. I needed to focus on Rachel. She stirred slightly, and I squeezed her hand gently. Her eyes fluttered open, and she looked at me with a tired smile. "Good morning," I whispered, trying to cheer her up a little. She smiled

  • Taken By My boss   Their next step

    Harrison sat across from Luca in the dimly lit room of the police station. His mind was still racing from everything that had happened. Victoria was dead, Rachel had been shot, and Mr. Blackwood was still out there somewhere, free and dangerous. It felt like everything was falling apart, but there was a small flicker of hope now. They had evidence of Mr. Blackwood’s wrongdoings. If they could use it correctly, they might finally be able to bring him down. Luca leaned back in his chair, folding his arms. His eyes were sharp, calculating. "We already have evidence of Mr. Blackwood’s mischief," Luca said, his voice calm but firm. "Now we just need to use it properly to bring him down." Harrison looked at him, confused. "How? How do we use it?" Luca didn’t answer right away. He stood up slowly, walking over to the window. The light from outside made his silhouette sharp and defined, and for a moment, Harrison couldn’t help but admire his brother’s composure. He was always in control, al

    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

  • 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
