Chapter 1

“Hey, dream girl! Your break is over. Time to get back to work.” Ashleigh jolted awake at the sound of a loud voice cutting through the small break room. She groaned, rubbing her tired eyes as the realization set in—her short nap was over, and the next time she’d get real sleep would be late at night, at home. With a sigh, she stood up, wiping the light sheen of sweat off her forehead. Digging into her bag on the couch, she retrieved a comb, pulled off the sanitary hairnet, and quickly ran the comb through her hair before securing it into a tight bun. Grabbing a fresh hairnet from a nearby box, she slipped it on and checked her reflection in the mirror. Satisfied with her neat, light green uniform, she headed out to face the person who had woken her. At the front desk, a middle-aged woman with a stern expression awaited her. “Miss Ashleigh Hartman, once again, you’ve overslept,” Mrs. Smith said, giving her a disapproving look. Ashleigh rushed forward, grabbing her hands. “Ma’am,

chapter 2

Tyra’s grip loosened, the baseball bat clattering to the concrete floor. The lenses of her cronies’ phones swiveled, their recording abruptly halted as a group of men and women filled the doorway. The air in the supply room seemed to thicken. The man at the forefront moved with a quiet authority that amplified the silence. Each measured step echoed, the sound bouncing off the stacked shelves. A palpable chill radiated from him, a subtle tension that made Tyra and her friends instinctively recoil. He stopped before them, his height and broad shoulders casting a shadow. The tailored suit strained slightly across his powerful frame. His face, sharply defined and undeniably handsome, held an expression of glacial displeasure as his gaze fixed on Tyra. "Damn," she thought, a flicker of unwanted attraction momentarily eclipsing her fear. "Who is this?" Her internal distraction was short-lived. He moved past them, his attention now on Ashleigh, bound and slumped against a stack of boxes.

Chapter 3

Adrian Cagliari stood at the apex of the technology industry at 27. He had a keen eye for innovation, setting himself apart from the family business to build his dream company, Tixton, from the ground up. Tixton was now one of Cagliari's major successes, and he was a rising force. Building and maintaining his family's legacy required a firm hand, making him rather firm and disciplined. He oversaw all matters in Italy and America, as well as other branches worldwide. Domineering, assertive, and principled, he ensured a palpable tension among those who worked with him. It was both a burden and a benefit. As he discussed with the investors, his secretary and his personal assistant were outside, mentally preparing to interrupt the meeting. Turner then walked into the spacious office, a phone in his hand. Pausing his call, Adrian raised his eyes to his secretary, who felt a chill run down his spine. "I thought I was clear with my instructions," Adrian bit out, his gaze making Mr. Turner

Chapter 4

"Adrian, if it's okay, I'd like to have dinner with you sometime next week. Your mom told me you're around for the week," Caelia proposed, her eyes holding a hint of eagerness. "Yes, Adrian, I feel you two should have lunch and catch up. It's been a while," Caelia's mother added, glancing at Eleanor for support. Adrian glanced at his mother, who offered a subtle nod of agreement. His gaze then shifted to his uncle, who maintained a neutral expression. "I apologize, Caelia, but I won't be able to join you for lunch. I have a lot of matters to handle this week," Adrian said curtly. Caelia's face flushed with embarrassment, and she bit her lip. "I'll ask my secretary to arrange an appointment for you. Just let him know where you’d like to go," he added, signaling his secretary forward. Caelia looked as if she wanted to refuse, but Adrian gave no room for discussion. He stood up, effectively ending the conversation. Eleanor placed a comforting hand on Caelia's back, offering an encou

Chapter 5

She wondered why Mr. Cagliari wanted to see her. Mr. Turner pressed the button to open the private elevator. "Are you sure? I can take the stairs," she suggested, but he stood firm. As they made their way up, her mind ran in circles, trying to understand why the CEO wanted to see her. She hadn't received any complaints so far and saw no reason for him to want to see her. She would only know once she arrived. Once again, she found herself on the fourth floor of the company, the executive floor. This was the floor housing the offices of the president and the vice president, although she had never met the latter. They walked past the conference room to the end of the hall where a gold plaque on a door read: CEO. "You may go in," Turner gestured, opening the door for her. She stepped inside. The space was vast, furnished exquisitely with Italian pieces. She hadn't imagined a room could be so expansive. Her eyes roamed the opulent space before landing on a seating arrangement near a l

Chapter 6

Ashleigh's defiance burned in her eyes as she met his gaze. "Whatever I want to know about my parents, I can find out myself." He chuckled, a low, knowing sound. "My dear…" He reached out, running his fingers through her hair, toying with a lock before letting it slip through his fingers. "Be my guest. Try all you want. But understand this—your search will be over before it even begins. Your Aunt Smith knows this well. Your case is far from simple." His amusement contrasted starkly with the warning laced in his voice. Her fiery gaze tugged at something deep within him, he liked this little act of defiance, even as he saw the fear beneath her bravado. "I am the only one who can guarantee your safety. You can only walk naively through this world for so long, Ashleigh, but they are out there, lurking in the shadows, waiting. The moment you step out of your shell, your head will be in your hands. But don’t take my word for it—find out for yourself how long you can survive." He waved d

Chapter 7

Ashleigh!” The shriek jolted Ashleigh out of her seat. Heart hammering, she turned to see James doubled over, laughing his head off. She swatted him repeatedly, trying to steady her breathing. “You idiot! You scared me half to death!” “Okay, okay! I’m sorry!” he wheezed between chuckles, raising his hands in surrender when her hits grew stronger. Finally, when she relented, he plopped into the chair she had just dusted. “You disappeared after that call from the secretary, so I came looking for you.” Ashleigh sighed, resuming her task of wiping down the desk with a damp rag. “Sorry, James. I just have a lot on my mind right now.” “Why? What was the meeting about?” He leaned forward, eyes glinting with curiosity. “You left with that hot secretary and didn’t give us the tea after!” Ashleigh stilled, then spun to face him. “Wait… James!” she exclaimed, narrowing her eyes. James scratched the back of his head sheepishly. “What? He looks fine, but he always seems out of it whenever

Chapter 8

The next day at a private law firm, Adrian Cagliari stood in a private lounge provided to him by his lawyer. The room was moderately sized and tastefully furnished. A floor-to-ceiling window stretched across one wall, offering a clear view of the entrance gate. From his vantage point, Adrian could see who was arriving and leaving, yet the tinted glass ensured no one outside could see in. Dressed in a sharp blue suit paired with a black shirt, his hair slicked back with gel, Adrian exuded an intimidating aura. He stood by the window, sipping his coffee slowly, his eyes fixed on the activity below. "Boss, I just spoke with the driver you sent. He said Miss Ashleigh refused the ride and insisted on making her own way here," Turner reported. Adrian glanced at his watch and frowned. She was already an hour late. Punctuality was one of Adrian’s strictest principles. In his world, everything had its time, and deviations led to inefficiency. He despised lateness, viewing it as a waste of

Chapter 9

Adrian leaned back in his chair, his sharp gaze settling on Ashleigh. "I feel we should discuss the living arrangements. After you left the office with your aunt yesterday, I made some arrangements." Ashleigh's eyes narrowed as she studied him, already bracing for something she wouldn't like. "Aunt, I’ve arranged for a penthouse for you. It’s not far from where we’ll be staying, so Ashleigh can visit whenever she pleases." Ashleigh frowned, glancing at her aunt, who seemed pleased but hesitant. "Adrian, this really isn’t necessary. I should be the one giving you both a gift, not the other way around," Mrs. Smith protested gently. Adrian remained firm. "Aunt, this is a trivial gesture compared to what you’ve given me. More importantly, I want the assurance that you’re safe and comfortable. It’s non-negotiable." Mrs. Smith exhaled softly, realizing she wasn’t going to win this argument. "Alright. Thank you, Adrian." Ashleigh, however, stiffened at his words. "I do not wish to stay

Chapter 10

According to Mr Cagliari, she should have to look the part of a CEO's wife in every aspect, that meant not taking any of her thrift or store bought clothes. They were also taken for a spa session where there had all services offered to them as VVIP's of the place, Ashleigh had a much needed facial and hair treatment and she looked more appealing. Her face now had a dewy look, her round eyes were more prominent due to the lash treatments, her coffee- brown hair now looked more healthier and grew rapidly than before making it thick, with the curls framing her face. The man in question was not around, she was informed by the butler that he is on a business trip and any information will be passed on by him. "He claimed to be annoyed me but still did this much for I and my aunt when he is not supposed to be bothered....... Business trip my foot" she thought to herself as she listened to Mr. Atkinson. The changes, no matter how subtle she was, still showed and caught the attention of t
