Prologue: Veil of Night.

Lie Blu Apartment.Third Person POV.“What would it take to convince you to go out with me tonight?” Aaliyah groaned, watching her best friend, Matilda, type away tirelessly at her computer. Matilda’s long light brown hair was messily piled on top of her head in a bun. “Hellooo?” Aaliyah whined, desperation creeping into her voice.Matilda pushed her round glasses up her straight nose and bit her pink lips in concentration, her brown eyes glued to her MacBook, ignoring Aaliyah’s pleas.“Earth to Mal! Do you hear me?” Aaliyah waved her arms dramatically in front of Matilda’s face, but received no response. She knew if she didn’t intervene, her friend would be glued to that screen all weekend.“I’m sure we can go another day, Aly,” Matilda finally replied, her gaze never leaving the screen. As much as she loved spending time with her best friend, she was too comfortable in her sweatpants and tee to consider getting dressed up tonight.“Wow! A response!” Aaliyah shot back, sitting up str

Chapter 1: Echoes of Regret.

Lie Blu Apartment.Matilda’s POV.Regret has always been inevitable. At some point in our lives, we all face it. Right now, I'm drowning in a heavy tide of it. I press my hands against my head, letting out a raspy cry as my veins throb painfully. It feels as if my skull might shatter, while my conscience angrily scolds me for putting myself through this torment.This is exactly why I didn't want to go out last night.Sunlight streams through the curtains, but it offers no solace—only harsh reminders of my misery. My stomach churns with a burning sensation, and my throat feels drier than the Sahara, begging desperately for water. I moan in agony, curling into a ball as pain radiates from my waist up to my neck.What happened last night? Why can’t I remember anything? Did I black out? How on earth did I even get home?My mind buzzes with a thousand questions, each one amplifying my discomfort. Something must possess me to drink so much; I only ever black out when I overindulge. After wh

Chapter 2: The Gathering Storm.

Willow Incorporated HQ.Third Person POV.Matilda adjusts Chairman Willow’s tie, her fingers smoothing the fabric as she gives him a quick once-over. His grey eyes meet hers with a calm intensity, reflecting his patient demeanour. His silver hair, neatly combed back, has a few rebellious strands she promptly tucks behind his ear.Despite the stern mask he wears, the laugh lines etched into his handsome, aged face hint at a life full of joy. Clad in a tailored black tuxedo that fits perfectly, he radiates authority.Stepping back, Matilda gives him a small, admiring smile. “You’re all set, Chairman Willow.” She raises a thumb, her smile betraying a hint of nervousness.With a deep exhale, Chairman Willow strides into the boardroom, Matilda close behind. The executives and top shareholders rise to greet him. “I’m glad we could all make it to this impromptu meeting,” he announces, settling into his seat.The others follow suit. Matilda positions herself a few steps behind him, feeling the

Chapter 3: Shattered Illusions.

Willow Inc. HQ.Matilda’s POV.With a surge of will, I manage to pull myself up and grab my phone. My hands tremble as I dial the emergency line but quickly end the call. There are too many rumours swirling around for an ambulance to arrive without drawing unwanted attention.Instead, I decided to call Liam, Chairman Willow's personal assistant. If anyone knows what to do, it’s him. He picks up on the first ring, and I silently thank God for that.“Liam… Please help. I—I don’t know what to do.” I sob, my words tumbling out in a frantic rush. “The C-chairman h-he…”“Miss Matilda? Slow down so I can understand you. What’s wrong?” His baritone voice is steady, almost devoid of emotion.I take a few deep breaths, trying to steady my racing heart. A breakdown right now won’t help the Chairman. “It’s Chairman Willow. He was about to leave the meeting room but lost consciousness,” I managed to explain, forcing clarity into my shaky voice.“Stay right there. Don’t call anyone else. I’ll be rig

Chapter 4: The Price of Truth.

Lie Blu Apartment.Matilda’s POV.The shrill blast of my alarm jolts me from sleep, its invasive beeping echoing through my still-dark apartment. Groggy and disoriented, I swipe at the snooze button, my hand slamming down harder than intended.“Ouch!” I yelp, a sharp pain shooting through my palm. Rubbing the sore spot, I grumble, “Stupid alarm clock,” and squint at the piercing light filtering through the curtains.Just yesterday, the Chairman dropped a bombshell on me—he’s terminally ill. It feels surreal to wake up annoyed at an alarm clock when soon, someone out there might not need one at all.Dragging myself out of bed, a heavy weight settles in my chest. Life’s unpredictability makes me ponder: If I had limited time left, what would I do differently? The warm water of the shower cascades over me, but it can’t wash away the chill of that thought.Have I truly lived a happy life?Sure, I have a decent job, a roof over my head, and just enough savings for the occasional getaway.

Chapter 5: Beneath the Surface.

House Of Willow.Matilda’s POV."I was able to dissuade the shareholders from holding the meeting," Liam reports, standing tall beside Chairman Willow. "I informed them of your absence, and while they agreed to reschedule, their displeasure was evident. The reporters are still staked outside, but they'll have to leave in due time."He exhales deeply, the weight of the moment pressing against him. "Thank you, Liam. Your assistance is invaluable.""It's no problem, sir. The least I can do is perform my job well." His gaze drifts toward me, a flicker of accusation unspoken in his eyes.I bite back a retort, feeling the sting of his accusatory tone. Thankfully, since leaving the office, the anxiety that once swelled within me has dissipated, and my head feels clearer."I understand how this looks and why you'd assume I did my work poorly," I say, my voice steady. I pause, locking eyes with Liam for a second before turning back to Chairman Willow. "But this is not my doing, sir."He turns h

[WARNING] This chapter mentions violence and sexual assault which may be upsetting to some readers. Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you and keep reading ‘My Unlovable Boss’.Willow Inc. HQ.Third Person POV.A black Bentley slows to a stop in front of the company building. Outside, a wall of reporters from prominent media outlets presses forward, cameras flashing in a dizzying blur. They shout over one another, bombarding the car with questions and snapping endless photos, while the security team struggles to hold them back.Inside the car, Alaric sits silently, his gaze narrowing as he watches the spectacle unfold. He’s been photographed in secret before, but never has he been the focal point of such relentless scrutiny. These are the people fueling every lie, he thinks, jaw tightening as he reaches for the door handle, eager to escape the stifling car ride he endures beside his father. Usually, Javier drives him, but his father insists they arrive together to “make an impressio

Chapter 7: In the Eye of the Storm.

Willow Inc. HQ.Alaric’s POV.“We suspected there were moles in the company, so we launched an investigation to root them out along with their employer. I won’t disclose names, but one of them eventually confessed and implicated their partner. It turns out she was promised promotions and protection but ended up with nothing to show for it,” I say, holding the board members’ intent gazes.“And the article?” Mrs. Lionheart’s tone is firm, expectant.“We managed to speak with the reporter.” I gesture to Javier, who promptly plays the recording of our conversation with the journalist.A defensive, tremulous voice fills the room. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Can I go back to work now?”“Sir, trust me. We’re not here to hurt you. Just tell the truth, and we’ll let this slide,” Liam coaxes, his tone as smooth as silk.“So... I’d be off the hook?” The voice wavers, unsure.“Completely. You have my word,” Liam reassures him.There’s a pause, followed by sounds of rummaging, and the

Chapter 8: After the Storm.

Willow Inc. HQ.Third Person."Alaric showed how witty he was today and how thorough he could be with research," Mr. Bunduck praises, his voice tinged with a mixture of surprise and respect."He also demonstrated remarkable patience and tolerance. That alone was a wisdom that should not have been overlooked," Mrs. Cho adds, her tone earnest, as if she wants the others to truly grasp the significance of what Alaric has accomplished.Mrs. Lionheart leans forward, her expression brightening with genuine warmth. "I must admit, it's reassuring to know the company is in such capable hands."Chairman Willow can't help but smile as he glances around the boardroom. “It looks like you're all willing to give my son a chance now.” He feels a flicker of hope swell within him, though uncertainty still nags at the corners of his mind. This isn’t the outcome he had expected, but maybe, just maybe, Alaric is rising to the occasion."We must give credit where credit is due, and right now, he deserves it
