Chapter 11

"Follow me," Gloria said, leading me into an office. The room was spacious and well-conditioned, with four neatly arranged desks. Inside, a man and a woman sat talking, their conversation stopping the moment we entered as both turned their attention to me. "This is Elizabane," Gloria announced with a dramatic groan, rolling her eyes. "Sabrina said to let her stay here until her move." I shot her a glare and corrected her. "Elizabeth." "That's what I said. Elizabane." She repeated, her smirk widening. The woman at the desk chuckled, and I bit my lower lip, forcing down my frustration. Gloria was lucky this was my first day. I wasn’t the quiet girl she used to bully anymore. If this had been any other day, I would have wiped that smirk off her face. "This will be your desk." She pointed to the table near the door. Without waiting for more of her nonsense, I pulled out the chair and sat down. "Welcome, Elizabeth. I'm James," the man beside me said, offering his hand. I wa

Chapter 12

I stood frozen in the middle of the restaurant as gasps and murmurs filled the room. My hands began to tremble as I tore my gaze away from James, scanning the space—everyone was staring. A lump formed in my throat, and tears threatened to spill. Reflexively, I dropped my food, wrapping my arms around myself. I cursed my double-D half-cup bra because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t cover everything. The weight of the judgmental stares pressed down on me, making my skin burn with humiliation. I turned to James, silently pleading for his help. His jacket. He hesitated, and I could see him struggling with what to do. "Please..." I was about to ask when a deep, authoritative voice broke through the murmurs. "Everyone close your eyes. Whoever looks at Ms. James a second longer will be fired and arrested." The room stilled. Every head turned toward the source of the command. By the corner stood Richard, his piercing gaze sweeping across the restaurant. Helpless, I looked a

Chapter 13

"Please, Ms. James, I’m sure Gloria didn’t intend to cause you such harm," Sabrina said, her voice soft, pleading. My eyes flicked between the two of them, a tangle of confusion knotting in my stomach. What was I supposed to say? I had no idea Richard had even threatened Gloria in the first place. He had been too busy scolding me to ask about the situation. Does Richard even listen? From the few moments I’d spent with him, I noticed he was always so lost in his own head, so quick to judge and act. "I..." I opened my mouth to speak, but Sabrina interrupted before I could get the words out. "Gloria is also offering to pay for the damages on your shirt," Sabrina said, her gaze fixing on me. She paused, giving me a moment to absorb the information before adding, "I’m not sure if it’s a designer piece, but we’re hoping two thousand dollars will cover the damages." Designer piece, I nearly laughed aloud. If only they knew it was a $10 uniform shirt. I struggled to keep my expressi

Chapter 14

I swallowed hard, drawing in a slow, shaky breath as I stepped further into the house. The moment I reached the front door, a smooth, robotic voice greeted me. "Welcome. Step onto the welcome mat, please." I hesitated for a second before obeying. The instant my feet touched the mat, a soft, warm breeze rose from beneath me, brushing against my skin like an invisible scan. "Scan complete. You may enter." With a quiet hiss, the massive door swung open on its own, revealing a sleek, modern interior. Calling it a smart house would be an understatement—it felt alive. The walls pulsed with subtle blue light strips, reacting to my movement. Every step triggered a gentle hum in the air, like the house itself was watching me. "Proceed down the hall," the AI instructed. I followed the illuminated pathway, my footsteps barely making a sound against the polished black flooring. At the end of the hall, an elevator door slid open as if expecting me. I hesitated before stepping in, my he

Chapter 15

"What!" I exclaimed, my eyes widening in shock. "You’re a stripper, aren’t you? Dance for me," Richard commanded. I shook my head, heat rising to my face. "I am not a stripper! I don’t even know how to dance—I couldn't dance to save my life." Richard didn’t listen. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, expecting me to perform like some showpiece for his entertainment. I stood frozen, my heart pounding, my cheeks burning with anger as I glared at him. The smug amusement on his face as he waited for me to obey only fueled my rage. I hated that smirk—I wanted to wipe it off his face so badly. Why did this feel more degrading than if he had simply asked for sex? "Hurry up, Laura," he said lazily. Laura? Who the hell was Laura? Did he forget my name so soon? "I told you I can’t dance," I said, ignoring the wrong name and trying to hold on to whatever pride I had left. Was this really what he expected me to do for the next two years? Richard rolled his eyes, acting as

Chapter 16

I woke up to a pounding headache, my head spinning as I tried to adjust my eyes to the light. My vision blurred slightly before clearing, revealing the incredibly handsome man sitting beside me. His piercing black eyes locked onto mine, watching me closely. "Where am I?" My voice came out hoarse. "Who are you?" His eyes narrowed slightly, worry flickering across his features. For a moment, my mind felt foggy, blank spaces where my memories should have been. Then, as I sat up, glancing down at myself—the silky lingerie still clinging to my body, the soft cushions of the couch beneath me—it all came rushing back. Falling from the pole, Richard’s cruel joke. "Monster!" The word shot out of my mouth the moment everything clicked. "How do you even sleep at night knowing you threaten innocent people just to get what you want?" I snapped, sitting upright. He blinked, looking genuinely confused. "Is everything okay?" His voice was laced with amusement, as if I was the one acting cra

Chapter 17

My heart raced as I watched him pause for a moment, his grip tightening around the phone. "Why are you calling her?" His voice was sharp, demanding. "I told you to call me first, didn’t I?" He ran a hand through his hair, his jaw clenching. "Is Elizabeth the one paying you, or am I?" I frowned. Was he still talking to his father? I stayed still, watching as he nodded, muttered something under his breath, then exhaled heavily before turning to me. His movements were slow, almost reluctant, as he stretched the phone toward me. "It's Vivian," he said. Then, the next words left his mouth, and my entire world tilted. "Your sister is awake." It felt like ice-cold water had been poured over me. My breath caught, my chest tightening as the words sank in. My vision blurred, but this time, it wasn’t from fear—it was from the overwhelming rush of relief that flooded my entire body. Tears slipped down my cheeks before I could stop them. "Really?" My voice came out shaky as I grabb

Chapter 18

"What!" I rolled my eyes as if I hadn't just been caught. "Why are you glaring at me?" Richard asked,and I shifted my gaze to the window. "I am not," I spat, folding my arms across my chest and Richard smirked. The car was silent for a moment before he spoke again. "I hope you have resigned, as I instructed?" I turned to him, frowning. "What?" "S. Tech. I hope you've turned in your resignation," Richard repeated, watching me closely. I sighed. So he knew I was genuinely working, yet he kept accusing me of… "Not yet," I admitted. Truthfully, I was considering it. Between Gloria’s presence, William’s persistent calls, and the drama Richard could stir up, I wasn’t sure if staying was worth it. "I expect you to do that first thing tomorrow morning," Richard commanded. I rolled my eyes. "What if I don’t?" Testing the waters again. Richard turned to me, his gaze sharp, but he said nothing. Instead, he shot me a glare before looking back at the road. "Do you have any idea

I narrowed my eyes at her. How was that any of her business? Instead of replying, I decided to change the topic. "What do you mean he helps everybody?" I asked, noticing how her eyes lit up immediately. "You know exactly what I mean—the way he helped your sister, the way he helps everyone suffering from lung-related problems," she explained, and my brows furrowed. I didn't need to say another word for her to continue; she clearly enjoyed talking about it. "That was the reason he acquired this hospital when it was on the verge of bankruptcy—to help people," she said, admiration dripping from her voice. It made me laugh. She obviously had no idea what kind of person Richard was. "Richard didn't help my sister," I spat. I didn’t want him getting credit for something I had to work for. "He gave me a loan, which I am working tirelessly to pay back." A part of me also didn’t want her to see him as some hero. "Oh! That explains it," she sighed. "Explains what?" I asked. "Why

Chapter 20

I decided to call. The worst that could happen was her telling me to write a formal resignation letter—or so I thought. "Hello?" Beatrice's voice was sharp, cutting through the line. I swallowed hard. "Good morning, ma'am. My name is Elizabeth, the new hire from yesterday," I stammered. Even without seeing her, I could imagine the stern expression settling on her face as she responded, "I know who this is. What do you want?" I exhaled slowly, struggling to phrase my words properly. "I... I'm calling to inform you that due to unforeseen circumstances, I may have to resign." Silence. A long, uncomfortable pause stretched between us before Beatrice finally spoke. "What are these unforeseen circumstances, if I may ask?" I hadn’t expected her to question me. My mind scrambled for a response. "Personal reasons, ma’am," I murmured. "I hope this has nothing to do with yesterday's accident. Gloria told me she apologized and has compensated for it," Beatrice said, her tone shift
