### Cherry’s POV I knew exactly what I was doing when I told Maurice to send out my pictures online. It wasn’t a careless act; it was calculated. I had foreseen this moment, every reaction, every doubt. No one would believe me if I simply told the truth. Even when I made them look me in the eye, their disbelief would linger, painting me as a lazy fraud impersonating someone else. So, I let them believe what they wanted while ensuring I had a plan in place. As I stepped outside the venue, the cool night air brushed against my skin, offering me a brief moment of solace. But then, there he was. Dylan. The sound of his hurried footsteps reached me before his voice did. "Cherry," he called out, almost breathless. "It’s been years. I’ve been looking for you." I froze mid-step, my heart pounding in a mix of disbelief and irony. Dylan? The man who had once made my life a living hell? Now, standing here, claiming he had been searching for me? It would have been laughable if it wasn’t s

### Cherry's POVI never wanted to do this. Never wanted to agree to his ridiculous terms. Never wanted to be in the same room with him after he humiliated me in front of everyone. The memory was still fresh in my mind—the way he accused me of being fake, siding with his overbearing mother and that conniving Sharon. Their cruel words echoed in my head, fueling the resentment I harbored. It was that humiliation that pushed me into working with his cousin Gabriel. At least Gabriel treated me with respect, offering me a fair deal of five million dollars. But when Dylan saw me outside Gabriel’s office, he didn’t hesitate to confront me, his expression dark and brooding. “Why are you working with Gabriel?” he demanded, his voice a mix of anger and disbelief. “Why not?” I shot back, folding my arms across my chest. “I work with whoever pays me, Dylan. Loyalty isn’t part of my job description.”To my utter shock, he made an offer I couldn’t refuse. Twenty million dollars—fifteen from him

**Cherry's POV**That morning, I felt like a storm trapped inside a calm bottle. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror, ensuring my makeup was flawless. My short black gown hugged my curves elegantly, while my red heels clicked against the marble floor as I descended the stairs. My red bag, the perfect accessory, dangled from my shoulder. I secured my hair into a sleek ponytail, a subtle statement of confidence.Selena’s little voice brought warmth to my busy morning. “Mommy, where are you going?” she asked, her big, curious eyes searching mine. I bent to her level, brushing her cheek with a kiss. “Mommy’s going to work, sweetheart. You take care of yourself, okay? Be good at school, listen to your teacher, and don’t let anyone bully you. If anything happens, ask your teacher to call me immediately, alright?” She nodded eagerly, then added with a shy smile, “Mom, can you please buy me vanilla and chocolate ice cream when you come back?” I chuckled, stroking her hair. “Of cour

**Cherry's POV** I am not someone who looks for trouble, but at this moment, I am furious. My chest burns with indignation as I replay what just happened in my mind. Who does she think she is? The audacity to treat me like a slave, especially in a place where I am paid twenty million dollars, while she barely earns two thousand. And yet, she acts like she owns me—like she controls my life. I shouldn’t be surprised; people like her always overstep. But I can’t help but feel betrayed—not just by her, but by Sarah too. Sharon is a nuisance, always sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong, but Sarah should know better. Instead, she enables Sharon's childish behavior. It all started this morning when Sharon waltzed into my office, her voice dripping with condescension as she instructed me to submit the project department’s evaluation report. I was already annoyed, but I kept my cool and complied. When I arrived at the department, I placed the report neatly on the table. That’s whe

### Cherry's POV If Mira only knew who she was dealing with, she wouldn’t have dared cross me. But she doesn’t, and that makes her reckless—a foolish pawn in a game far beyond her understanding. I listened to her and Sharon’s whispered conversations earlier, keeping my calm, knowing full well that soon, I’d catch them red-handed. Patience was my virtue. I thrived on playing the long game. Yet, tonight, I couldn’t shake the weariness crawling into my bones as I walked through the halls of the Legacy building, deliberately avoiding Dylan. It wasn’t easy avoiding him—how could it be when I worked in his office? He was always there, his presence filling the room even when he didn’t say a word. And today, he decided to corner me. “Cherry,” he said, his deep voice rolling out like a soft command. I paused, clutching my bag tighter as I turned to him. “Yes?” I tried to keep my tone polite, indifferent, but the way his piercing eyes locked on mine made it difficult to maintain my comp

### Sharon's POV My name is Sharon, and I know exactly what I did. Am I regretting it? Not a single bit. She deserves every ounce of this. How dare she waltz into *our* company, parading herself like some untouchable celebrity? Cherry. That name alone feels like poison on my tongue. She’s come here to flaunt herself, to undermine everything I’ve worked for, and worst of all, to destroy the marriage I’m this close to having with Dylan. But no. Dylan barely even looks at me anymore. His once-warm eyes, the ones that used to light up whenever I entered the room, are now fixed on her. He can’t stop talking about her—*Cherry this, Cherry that.* Every time he mentions her charity work, it feels like a slap in the face. I’m losing him, I can feel it. I clench my fists so tightly that my nails dig into my palms. If I can’t get her out of Dylan’s life, I’ll get her out of this company. And if I can’t get her out of this company, then I’ll make sure her reputation is so thoroughly destroy

cherry's POV I walked into the office with Dylan by my side, my heels clicking against the polished marble floor. The air was heavy, charged with tension I could almost taste. My heart raced, but my face remained calm, composed—a mask I’d perfected over the years. Inside, I was already piecing together the threads of the confrontation I knew was waiting for me. Dylan whispered, “Are you ready for this?” His voice was steady, reassuring. I nodded, flashing him a small, confident smile. “I’ve been ready for this since the moment it started.” As we stepped into the boardroom, the murmur of voices fell silent. Sharon and Mira were huddled together at the far end, their expressions shifting between smugness and unease. I could hear them whispering about my supposed "failure." They didn’t even bother to lower their voices, but I pretended not to hear. I moved to an empty chair and sat, crossing my legs gracefully, while Dylan stood protectively behind me. The assistant of one of the maj

**Cherry's POV** I had been listening to Mira and Sharon's plot unfold like a badly directed movie. Did she honestly think I wouldn’t catch on? With wolf hearing like mine, their whispering was practically a public broadcast. Sharon's snide comments and Mira's venomous words only confirmed what I had suspected for weeks now—these women were scheming behind my back. But I wasn’t the naive Cherry they used to know. I had anticipated every move. The moment I overheard them hatching their plan, I discreetly planted my phone in the office to record. And when Dylan fired Mira, it was like watching karma arrive on a silver platter. During the meeting, Sharon kept shooting daggers at me with her eyes. Her lips curled into a sneer, her nails tapping on the table in agitation, but I didn’t flinch. I simply straightened my blazer and smiled faintly, as if daring her to say something. I wanted her to stew in her fury—it was a well-deserved punishment. Once the meeting ended, I made my

**Cherry's POV** No matter what Sharon and Mira did or said, I told myself it wouldn’t get to me. Their words were just empty threats, a desperate attempt to console themselves after their first mission to ruin me had failed. When I overheard them plotting revenge, I’ll admit, a part of me wanted to confront them right there and then. I wanted to ask them what kind of twisted satisfaction they got from meddling in my life. But I didn’t. Instead, I forced myself to think rationally. If they were trying to get a rise out of me, I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction. After a long day at work, I went home, hoping for some peace and quiet. The next morning, I was having breakfast with my daughter, enjoying the rare moment of calm, when her innocent little voice shattered my composure. “Mommy,” she said, her small hands toying with her fork. Her big, curious eyes looked up at me with a question that made my stomach tighten. “When will I get a daddy?” The words hit me like a punch to

### Selena's POV “Yes, Mom,” I mumbled, dragging my feet across the room as I reached for my schoolbag. When she said I should dress up for school, I knew she meant the extra lessons she had enrolled me in—lessons she insisted were necessary for me to excel academically. But my mind wasn’t in those lessons. Instead, I was fixated on the pictures someone had posted online. My chest tightened as I thought about how they were trying to ruin my mom’s reputation. Someone out there hated her so much they couldn’t stop until she was broken. I couldn’t let that happen. I love my mom more than anything. She had already sacrificed so much for me, and now I wanted to protect her. But how could I? I’m just a ten-year-old girl. Nobody would take me seriously, not even the police. They’d brush me off, calling my words “childish talk.” Then it hit me—Mr. Dylan. The moment his name popped into my mind, I had a plan. I raised my hand hesitantly during the lesson. “Madam, I don’t feel
