Chapter 21 Desire

ChristianI carried Bernice back to her room, her body seeming so fragile and light in my arms. The events of the night weighed heavily on my mind as I gently laid her on the bed, carefully arranging the pillows to make her more comfortable.I couldn't shake the guilt and anger that coursed through me - guilt that I hadn't been there to protect her sooner, and anger at the monster who had dared to lay a hand on her.As I pulled the covers over her trembling form, Bernice's eyes fluttered open, her normally vibrant gaze hazy and unfocused. "Christian," she mumbled, her hand reaching out clumsily to grasp mine. "Please... don't leave me."The raw vulnerability in her voice tore at my heart. I sat down on the edge of the bed, my free hand instinctively moving to brush a stray lock of hair from her flushed face. "I'm here, Bernice. I'm not going anywhere," I reassured her softly, my thumb tracing soothing circles on her palm. "You're safe now."But Bernice was insistent, pulling herself u

Chapter 22 Cheating

FedIn my office, the air felt thick, almost suffocating, as I tapped my fingers against the smooth surface of the desk. The glow from the digital clock kept reminding me that I might not have much time left.Christian Miller’s focus on the company's finances was more than an inconvenience. He threatened to unravel everything I had carefully built.This man was a thorn in my side, his impeccable reputation and infuriatingly clean record left me no angle to exploit. He was one step too close to the secrets I had buried deep within Miller Corporation’s financial ledgers. If he dug any deeper, I could lose everything.As these dreadful thoughts circled in my mind, the door to my office clicked shut.It is Melissa. I smiled.This little minx was a welcome distraction. Thus, I indulged her antics. She entered without a word, locked the door behind her, and a sly smile played across her lips.She shed her coat, revealing the revealing outfit beneath—tight, lacy, and black, barely there. Mel

Chapter 23 Bitter Pill

BerniceI woke up with a start, my heart pounding in my chest as the sound of fierce knocking echoed through the room. Disoriented and on edge, I scanned my surroundings, realizing that I was alone. The events of the previous night came rushing back, and I shuddered at the memory of the horror I had endured.Cautiously, I made my way to the door, peering through the peephole. My stomach dropped as I saw Fed's face, twisted with anger and impatience.I considered ignoring him, hoping he would give up and leave, but his incessant pounding and shouting of my name made it clear that he wouldn't be deterred so easily. With a heavy sigh, I opened the door, keeping my body firmly planted in the doorway."What brings you here, Fed?" I asked, my voice was cold and flat.Instead of responding, Fed roughly pushed past me, nearly knocking me off balance as he stormed into my room. I stumbled backward, catching myself on the edge of the dresser."What the hell do you think you're doing?" I demande

Chapter 24 Fever

BerniceThe sunlight filtering through the curtains felt too bright, too harsh for me. Christian stood there, unexpected, like a mirage that I feared would vanish if I blinked."Christian…" My voice sound calm with my feigned composure.He closed the door quietly behind him. His eyes searching mine that made my heart race."Has anyone been here? Fed Miller?" He walked over and sat down beside me on the plush carpet.I nodded slightly.For a few second Christian said nothing. His eyes didn't leave mine."Bernice, I am sorry to leave your alone with him. Are you okay?" His voice was filled with genuine concern. He easily broke the fragile dam I had built around my emotions.I didn't say anything. A sudden lump come to my throat when he looked at that. It's like he is seeing something in me. Something shameful. Something vulnerable.He just pulled me into his embrace, his arms strong around me. "Bernice. It’s okay to be scared," he murmured, his breath warm against my hair. "I want you k

Chapter 25 Triangle

BerniceMy eyelids fluttered open, the harsh fluorescent lights causing me to squint against the jarring brightness. My senses slowly recalibrated. I became aware of the steady beeps and gentle mechanical whirs surrounding my hospital bed. A curved monitor displayed my vitals in soothing pulses of green light.Right. I am in hospital. Charistian sent me here.I shift my head minutely on the scratchy pillow. A plastic tug of an IV line trailed up from the back of my hand to a bag hung bedside. Relief washed over me as I inhaled the air. The feverish heat and lancing pains are gone now.My parched lips parted as I unconsciously swiped my tongue across them. That's when my gaze landed on the side table where a glass of water there. And a note."Drink it. I'll be back soon. -C"I smiled. And I refold it. For some reason I didn't want to throw it away.My disheveled phone sat beside Christian's note. The lock screen alight. I took it and found a barrage of notifications. My chest warmed as

Chapter 26 First Domino

BerniceI collapsed onto Cathy's plush couch with a dramatic sigh.Cathy handed me a glass of wine with a sympathetic smile. "Alright, girl, spill. What's happened?"I took a big sip, savoring the rich merlot. "Well. Before that evening party, everything was fine."Cathy cooed. I continued, "I'm feeling a little tired. So I went to my room early. I thought he was just a warmhearted waiter. But it turns out he's some kinda violent psychopath.""Nahh." Cathy shook her head. "Be careful of all solicitous men.""Guess I should've listened to you." I managed a weak smile, squeezing her fingers. "But in the end I didn't let him really hurt me.""Did he come for you, Bernie?" Cathy snorted.I swirled the wine, pondering. "Actually, yes. Cat. He's crafty. If it hadn't been for Christian, he might have been...""Ooh, Christian! Your hot boss and your brother in law." Cathy waggled her eyebrows,"What role did he play in this?""He helped me. A lot. That's all." I said, talking fast.Cathy rolle

Chapter 27 Conspiracy

BerniceMy mind racing as I recalled the devastating downfall of Stephen Corporation in my previous life. The memories were still vivid, etched into my mind like a painful scar.Stephen Corporation, my family's company, had been in fierce competition with Miller Corporation for a government-issued urban renovation project. Stephen Corporation's technical expertise had given us the edge, and we secured the contract. I remember the pride on my father's face when we won. Little did we know, it was the beginning of the end.Construction had barely begun when go

Chapter 28 Rumors

BerniceI closed the door firmly behind me. I'm still thinking about Melissa's words. Her wild accusations echoed. We owed her everything. She deserved everything. Melissa's paranoid thoughts make me feel bad. I took a deep breath. I wouldn't let her get to me. Not after everything she had put me through.My thoughts drifted to EcoBuild, the company that seemed to be yet another piece in the puzzle. Fed, Melissa, the mysterious Benjamin I had yet to meet, and now EcoBuild. They were all connected somehow. I could feel it in my bones. The idea of unraveling this tangled web both thrilled and terrified me. But I knew I had the strength to face whatever challenges lay ahead.Just as I was about to office, my phone buzzed with an incoming call from Fed. I sighed, steeling myself before answering. "Fed?""Get to my office. Now." His voice was sharp, demanding, as usual.I rolled my eyes but made my way through the Fed's office, mentally preparing myself for another round of Fed's self-cent

Chapter 29 Weakness

BerniceI found myself face to face with a strange woman. She probably saw my confusion, immediately adding, "I'm Emma Anderson."In my previous life, I never met Emma. So in my mind, Fed's assistant Emma had always had a bombshell figure and a sharp mind. And she was always by Fed's side as he conducted his illegal business and indulged in his extramarital affairs. I had convinced myself that she was his willing accomplice, gleefully partaking in his misdeeds.But the woman before me now was a far cry from the Emma of my imagination. She was small and unassuming, her shoulders hunched as if trying to make herself invisible. Her face was obscured by large, black glasses, and she wore a faded grey jacket that had seen better days.Emma gave a faint smile, "Thanks, Mrs. Miller." Her voice was soft and timid, lacking any trace of the confidence and bravado I had expected.I quickly regained my composure, offering her a smile. "No worries at all. I'm Bernice, Bernice Miller. I heard your

Chapter 30 Unconventional methods

BerniceAs I walked into the HR department during my lunch break, I spotted Emma sitting alone at her desk, nibbling on a simple egg sandwich. The sight gave me pause - as Fed's former assistant, surely she would have had a decent salary. Yet, her frugal meal and modest attire suggested a life of careful budgeting.Putting on my warmest smile, I approached her desk. "Emma, hi! How have you been? I hope I'm not interrupting your lunch."Emma's head snapped up, her eyes widening in surprise before she quickly schooled her features into a polite expression. "Bernice, what a pleasant surprise! No, no, you're not interrupting at all. Please, have a seat." She gestured to the empty chair beside her desk, her movements a bit stiff and formal."I'm glad I caught you. I actually have a little something for you." I sat down and reached into my bag. I pulled out a carefully wrapped package of homemade cookies, tied with a delicate ribbon. "I heard you had a sweet tooth, so I thought I'd bring yo
