Chapter 1: The Party

Tara's phone beeped with a text message while she was waiting for a cab in front of the university building. She pulled it out of her bag and glanced at the screen. It was a text from her best friend and roommate, Emily.“Hey Babe! There’s this huge party at Crystal waters Hotel tonight. They're inviting some important business moguls. You HAVE to come. It's going to be epic – think rooftop views, gourmet food, live music… You can't say no, it's the perfect way to celebrate your final project submission! See you at 8pm? xx”Tara sighed, her fingers hovering over the screen. It was so like Emily to always plan extravagant outings and parties, but Tara hated parties – the noise, the loud music, the crowds. It was just so overwhelming.But saying no to Emily was another matter entirely, totally out of question.She stood there, torn and contemplating her response. She wondered how Emily always manage to do this? The countless times Emily had dragged her out for “fun” and how, despite her

Chapter 2: The Morning After

"Where am I?"Tara awoke the next morning, a few minutes after 4 AM, feeling tired and achy, with a discomfort between her legs. Her head was still pounding from the night before. She glanced around the dark room, trying to recall where she was. She was scared and stunned to see a man beside her. A wave of horror crashed over her.She glanced around the room, her eyes falling on the rumpled sheets beside her. There was no sign of the man she vaguely remembered, just the lingering scent of cologne. Tara's stomach churned with nausea and dread. She needed to get out of here.She stood in fear to see the bed stained with blood. Tears rushed down her face as the reality of what happened began to dawn on her. Was this a set up by her best friend? For a stranger to sleep with her and take away her virginity? No it can't be. She bit her lips as her heart shattered into a million pieces.She decided it'll be less embarrassing if she just dressed up and slipped out quietly while he was still a

Chapter 3: The Betrayal

Tara's POVI tried calling Aiden, but he wasn't picking up my calls and he blocked me on all social media platforms. I decided to go to his apartment. I would explain things better. I'm sure he would understand.I got to his building, and rode the elevator to his floor after confirming with the security guard that Aiden was indeed in.I immediately unlocked the door with his spare key that I had and stepped inside. Something felt off. There were two pairs of shoes neatly arranged on the entrance mat, a sign that he wasn't alone in the apartment.Further into his parlour, clothes were scattered on the floor as though with each step, garments flew from their bodies, landing in haphazard piles on the floor. A blouse that looks like Emily's, was tossed carelessly over the couch, and next to it, Aiden's shirt crumpled on the floor. An unfinished bottle of wine was placed alongside two glasses on the table, one of Which still held a portion of wine and the other a lipstick stain. My heart f

Chapter 4: A New Beginning

Five years later, Tara stepped into her new apartment, tenderly holding her daughter's hand, while Emma's nanny, Maya, followed closely behind."Maya, please take the bags to my room. I'll handle sorting the clothes," Tara instructed quietly as she strode to the balcony, looking down at the bustling city of New York. "Mommy, look at all these big buildings!" Emma's sweet voice rang out as she looked out.Tara smiled, ruffling Emma's hair. "Yes, sweetie. This is our home now.”She can still remember the doctor's words just a few weeks after she left New York and when she started constantly feeling nauseous. It was like yesterday."Congratulations, Miss Hayes. The tests show that you're pregnant."She had built a life for herself and Emma in Garden City, but now they were back. The job transfer was a fresh start, an opportunity she couldn't pass up.----"You are being transferred to the main branch of the company in New York," Marvin said, his expression grim, when he called her into

Chapter 5: Change of event

"I'm Walter Reynolds. Mr. Malcolm has entrusted me with the responsibility of acquainting you with the office and providing an overview of your duties.”His smile brightened up the room, revealing impeccably white teeth. His suit was casually slung over his shoulder with his left hand, while his right hand was casually slipped into his pocket.“We're happy to have you among us," he greeted warmly, bringing out his hand for a handshake, which she accepted. "I appreciate your assistance, Mr. Reynolds," she expressed with a grateful smile."Call me Walter," he insisted, flashing his captivating smile. "Please, follow me.”-------After two long hours of conversation, walking, and meeting department heads, she finally returned to her office. Just as she settled into her seat, preparing to massage her aching feet, the landline began to ring."Come to my office immediately," the commanding voice boomed before she could even utter a word.Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, she stood

Chapter 6: office tension

Landon leaned towards her, his fingers lightly brushed against her skin as he gently wiped away a sauce spot that stained her chin as she devoured the peppered chicken. His gaze softened for a fleeting moment as he reached for a napkin and wiped his hand on it.Tara felt a shiver run down her spine at the intimate touch, her cheeks flushing with warmth as she held Landon's gaze. She wanted more, her mind filled with fantasies.She wanted his lips on hers in a passionate kiss, wanted to feel the sensation of his tongue tracing delicate patterns, slowly, along her neck.He leaned back on his seat and cleared his throat before speaking, "You should finish your meal and get back to work, Miss Hayes. I believe you have quite a lot to do today.” Tara nervously adjusted her blouse as she lowered her head. She was embarrassed and lost her appetite."I'll finish this up later in my office. I haven't had much of an appetite lately, Mr. Malcolm," she explained quietly.He observed her for a mom

Chapter 7 : Office menace

"Do you know what time it is, Miss Hayes?" He said, ignoring her greetings.“I'm so sorry, Mr Malcolm. I had to sort those documents and I worked until late so I overslept.” Tara blurted out, shaking her head as her words tumbled over each other in her haste to explain.“This should be the last time, miss Hayes. Punctuality is very important in this company.” Landon commanded, his gaze icy Tara nodded, feeling a lump grow in her throat."And where are the documents I asked you to file yesterday?" Landon continued, the anger in his voice rising.Tara's heart sank even further as she realized something. "I… I…”“I don't have the time to waste!”“I'm… I… I forgot them at home. I'll go get them right away."Landon ran a hand through his hair in frustration. "Miss Hayes, we have deadlines to meet. Your forgetfulness is going to affect the entire company's productivity. And for a personal assistant, you do a lot of forgetting"Tara hung her head, feeling ashamed of her carelessness. "I'll
