ELLA’S POV

The call ended as soon as it rang. I had never expected him to reach out to me. Ever again.

“Who is it?” Damien asked as he stepped closer to me and I turned around to see him staring at me in worry. I immediately plastered a smile on my face as I shook my head to show him that everything was fine.

“It's probably a scam number. It was unknown and I have no idea who it was.” I lied but he looked at me with a skeptical expression as he approached me with worry all over his face.

“Are you sure? You looked really scared just now. You know you can always talk to me, right?” He said with a reassuring tone and I smiled at him before nodding. He still didn't look convinced but he decided not to push it.

“Do you feel better now? Should I stay longer?” He asked and I immediately shook my head as I held his hand in mine.

“It's okay, you can leave now. I feel better. Thank you for coming to comfort me.” I replied and he let out a sigh as he placed a soft kiss on my head before pulling

    ELLA'S POVFear gripped me like a snake coiled around my neck and I couldn't help but look around in fear. What if the person was watching me right now? Were there cameras in the office?I managed to pick myself off the ground and sat on the chair as I took deep breaths to steady myself. Whoever was sending this was a girl, a girl that was very possessive of Damien.I just have to stay away from Damien, right? Then she'll stop following me. But I also wanted to find out who the person was and I was desperate to know who it was. Maybe we could talk things out and I would explain that I have nothing to do with Damien.My heart was pounding harshly as I wrote a reply to the unknown number.“The only relationship I have with Damien is that of a CEO and secretary.

    BELLA'S POVThe sounds of moans and skin slapping against each other echoed through the room and I stood frozen by the door as tears rolled down my face at the sight of my husband on top of another lady in our matrimonial bed.I couldn't speak, couldn't move, couldn't turn away. They were so into the pleasure that they didn't even notice my presence.“Ethan…” I finally managed to mumble and silence immediately filled the room. Ethan slowly turned to look at me and a groan escaped his lips as soon as he set his eyes on me.“Why are you back so early? You weren't supposed to be home until the next four hours. Are you slacking off at work now?” He reprimanded and I watched in despair as he placed a soft kiss on the girl's lips before pulling away and sitting on the bed.“This is what I get after being nothing but a good wife to you for five years?” I asked calmly as tears rolled down my cheeks and he let out a soft chuckle.He got off the bed, stark naked, as he approached me and then be

What in the world was going on right now? “He might wake up anytime soon, and if I get caught talking to you, we'd both get in trouble, so meet me at the auction event tomorrow; I have a lot to talk to you about.” She said quickly before turning around to leave and I couldn't help but get curious. “Wait, why should I trust you? You're literally my husband's mistress. What if you're trying to get rid of me?” I asked slowly and she let out a sigh before coming close to me and holding my shoulders with a solemn look

    BELLA'S POV“What the hell are you doing?” I yelled, and she quickly placed her hand over my mouth to stop me from shouting.“Calm down! I'm not gonna hurt you. If Ethan finds out you're missing, he's gonna wanna be a good husband and try to find you. If he sees us talking calmly, he would suspect something is going on, but if he sees us like this, he would think we got into a fight. He wouldn't have any reasons to be suspicious, does that make sense?” She replied calmly, and I realized she was right, so I stopped struggling while she took her hand off my mouth.“So, what is it you wanted to tell me?” I asked and she let out a sigh before pulling the mask off. I could tell from her expression that she was troubled and probably afraid.“I was also tricked into being with Ethan, but unlike you, I'm not married to him. However, he owns me for life. My parents' business was on the brink of bankruptcy and my brother nearly died due to a rare disease. Ethan was the only hope we had and he a

Do you know a certain Mabel Miles?” He asked and my brows furrowed in confusion as I looked up at him.“W-why do you ask?” I managed to mumble and his smile immediately faded, causing me to nearly jump in my seat with how scary he looked.He was the most handsome, yet scary man I've ever set my eyes on.“I remember making it clear that only I asked the questions here. You either answer my questions truthfully and nobody gets hurt or…” He suddenly took out a syringe and pressed it close to my neck, making me close my eyes in horror.“Fine, fine. I'll answer all your questions, just get that thing away from me!”“Do you know Mabel Miles?” H

    BELLA'S POV“What's going on here?” I heard Ethan say with a scowl on his face and my heart sank in fear. He walked closer to our side and suddenly grabbed Edward's shirt as he raised his hand to throw a punch.“What? I was just keeping your wife company since you were so busy with your mistress.” Edward replied with a low voice and Ethan's hand froze in the air.“What are you talking about? How did you know that?” He asked in shock as he turned to me with a scowl. “Did you tell him?” He asked, and I quickly shook my head as I tried to explain, but Edward beat me to it.“Why do you have to blame everything on her? You're the one who couldn't keep your tracks clean. I'm sure you know what would happen to you if this gets exposed…” He said with a sly smirk and the veins in Ethan's nearly popped out with how angry he was.Thankfully, the hall was dimly lit and no one noticed the conflict between both of them. The glaring contest was getting terrifying and I knew I had to find a way to st

    BELLA'S POV "Let's just say it involves making someone pay for their actions today," Ethan said cruelly before leaving. Those words kept echoing in my head. How could I sleep knowing that Ethan was going to deal with Edward? I know that Edward can protect himself, but something about Ethan's possessive behavior today was unnerving. I kept checking through the curtains all night to see when Ethan got back, as I couldn't get any rest. I didn't believe for once that Edward was as vile as Ethan claimed. I may be in love, but I'm not that stupid. At past 3:00 in the morning, I saw an all-too-familiar Mustang pull up at the residence, and I knew he was finally back. I rushed back immediately but carefully, laid back down, and closed my eyes while awaiting his presence. I felt his daunting presence even before the door opened. He scanned the room as if checking to see if anything was amiss. Finally, he walked towards the edge of the bed and smoothed my hair down. While looking dow

Before I can say anything, Mabel speaks, her voice smooth and unbothered."Ethan."My breath catches. She said his name. Not mine, but Ethan's name.Not pretending to be someone else.She wants him to know it's her.Ethan doesn't even flinch. He steps further into the room, eyes on me, but his voice is for her."Mabel."The tension is suffocating. I grip the phone tighter, but neither of them acknowledges me. It's like I'm not even here.I feel a pang of jealousy, as his love for her is evident even as she isn't here with us. Even after all these years, I couldn't command his attention the way she did. It doesn't matter what I do or how I do it; he'll never be mine, and he'll never love me."You shouldn't be calling my wife at work," Ethan says. His tone is calm, but I know better.

    DAMIEN'S POVElla's words had me broken at some point. I couldn't believe that she wanted space between both of us just because she was scared about what people would say. I watched as she hurried into her office but before I could go after her, she slammed the door and locked it shut.I ran a hand through my hair as I pressed the elevator button and it started going down again. I had to find a way to clear my mind because it was all jumbled and confused. A cup of coffee would do because I was never good with liquor.The employees greeted me with a smile as I walked past but I didn't even notice them. I tried to put myself in Ella's shoes. Maybe she was right. No one would dare say shit about me because I could easily fire them but her…No one gave a damn because she was just a secretary. She could easily be trampled on and she wouldn't even let me know what she was going through.I headed for the coffee shop, and I let out a sigh of despair. Maybe she was right to ask for some space.

    ELLA'S POVI was bothered by Sylvia's words. Something in me wanted to believe that it was all a joke and that she would never break our friendship over something so trivial. But as I sat in that cafe with no signs of her returning, I knew that she wasn't kidding.She could end our years of friendship just because of Damien. There was something suspicious about Sylvia's obsession with getting her revenge on Damien.As I walked back to the office, I couldn't help but wonder what she meant by that. “There was no better place than by Damien's side.” What did she mean by that? Was she in love with Damien too?I walked into the elevator with my thoughts jumbled over each other as I tried to make meaning of Sylvia's words.She wanted to get revenge on him, yet she wanted to be by his side. What exactly was she trying to gain? And what was she hiding from me?“You seem so lost in your thoughts.” I heard someone say and I glanced up in shock to see Damien staring at me as he leaned against th

    CARLOS’S POVI told her to leave. The words replayed in my mind with a bitter sting, sharper each time, but I refused to dwell on them. I meant it or at least that’s what I kept telling myself as I leaned back in the leather seat of my car, eyes fixed on the darkened city skyline. The drive home was long and silent, the streets empty save for a few stray headlights. My hands tightened around the steering wheel, knuckles white with the strain. There was a dull ache behind my eyes, exhaustion settling deep into my bones, but it was nothing compared to the hollow pit in my chest that refused to let me breathe right.I shouldn’t have said it, not like that. But what was done was done. Bella had no business knowing about Mabel, let alone getting involved. She’d seen one side of it and thought she understood, but revenge was never that simple. It was blood and ruin, and Bella didn’t belong in that world. I wouldn’t let her. But still, the look in her eyes when she’d left… it was burned into

    BELLA’S POVWhen Carlos told me to leave, the words cut deeper than I expected. They replayed in my mind with every step, a cruel echo that refused to fade. My fingers trembled as I zipped my suitcase, breaths shallow and unsteady. I wasn’t crying, I wouldn’t let myself. But the tightness in my throat betrayed me, the sting behind my eyes a warning I refused to heed. I had to leave. I had to get out before the walls closed in and his voice drowned everything else.The penthouse was eerily quiet without his presence, every shadow stretched long and dark against the marble floors. I moved mechanically, folding clothes with numb fingers, slipping essentials into my bag, avoiding the mirror and the rawness I knew I’d find there. He didn’t even call. Didn’t even try to stop me.A bitter laugh slipped past my lips, hollow and humorless. Of course, he didn’t. Why would he? I was just a complication, another liability in his revenge-soaked world. Whatever connection we’d built was nothing mor

    CARLOS’S POVRevenge isn’t a single strike or a swift blade. It’s a slow, grueling process, peeling back the layers of lies, tearing down the walls brick by brick until there’s nothing left but raw, bleeding truth. Truth is a weapon, and I intended to carve Mabel open with it.Her screams had died down to whimpers hours ago, voice hoarse and cracking, wrists red and raw against the zip ties binding her to the metal chair. The concrete walls of the basement were stained dark in places, the only light a single bulb swaying overhead, casting shadows sharp enough to cut.Mabel’s head lolled forward, blonde hair slick with sweat and sticking to her cheeks, breaths ragged and uneven. I leaned back in the chair across from her, fingers drumming idly against my knee, the silence heavy and suffocating. The smell of damp concrete and copper hung thick in the air, but I barely noticed. My attention was fixed solely on her, the way she flinched at every creak of the floor, pupils blown wide with

    CARLOS’S POVSome say revenge is best served cold. I disagree. Revenge should be slow like poison slipping through veins, unseen and inevitable. It should seep into every crack and shadow, eroding peace and sanity until all that’s left is fear. Fear was the one thing Mabel couldn’t hide. Not anymore.The days bled together in a blur of shadows and whispers, my hours split between digging into Stephen’s empire and unraveling Mabel’s lies one by one. Lucas moved in silence, reports slipping across my desk like clockwork, financial records, surveillance footage, transcripts of hushed conversations behind locked doors.Mabel was good at hiding things. Always had been. But she’d gotten sloppy, comfortable behind Stephen’s walls and guards and the illusion of safety. A foolish mistake that would cost her. I leaned back in the chair, the office dark and quiet but for the soft hum of the city beyond the glass. On the screen, security footage flickered, the entrance of Stephen’s estate, guards

    CARLOS’S POVSome days were harder than others. Today was one of them. The drive back to the penthouse was a blur of headlights and rain-slicked streets, my hands gripping the steering wheel hard enough to strain muscle and bone. Each turn, each stoplight, passed unnoticed as memories clawed to the surface unbidden and relentless.The date glared from the dashboard like an accusation. February 22nd. I didn’t need a reminder. My body already knew, muscles tight and lungs raw, the phantom ache blooming in my chest.Today would have been her birthday. If she’d been born but Mabel made sure that never happened. I shoved the thought down, jaw clenched tight enough to ache. Outside, the city sprawled dark and endless, neon lights bleeding into asphalt rivers. But all I saw was white, the sterile white of hospital walls, the cold metal of surgical tools, the blank lines of the form Mabel had signed without a second thought.Our daughter who could’ve been here was gone. Because Mabel had deci
