RHEA’s POV

“Good day,” I murmured, my body pressed tightly against the car door. If it were to be opened by mistake, I would definitely be rolling on the ground.

The drive was silent for a while. It was so suffocating.

“I’m sorry about yesterday, I didn’t mean to hurt you,” Rowan’s calm voice said.

I turned to look at him properly, sure I’d misheard.

He reached over and took my hand, tugging me gently closer. “I don’t like lies, little mouse. But that’s no excuse for what I did.” He undid my co

  • Obsessed With My Father’s Boss    Her Little Performance

    Rhea’s POV“Little mouse, are you okay?” Rowan asked behind me, his breath brushing my ear. Every ugly detail of my day was right there, crawling up my throat, begging to spill out. I swallowed it back down.“Nothing. Just tired from work.” I kept my tone light and headed for the closet.He followed anyway. Of course he did.“You know I could move you to my office,” he said, leaning against the doorframe. “You wouldn’t have to deal with any of this.”I turned giving him my best unimpressed look. “I want to actually learn something, Mr. Rowan. And we both know I’d get nothing done if I worked with you.”“Yeah, right.” His hands landed on my waist, pulling me back against him. “I’d be the one getting nothing done.”I laughed and pushed him off, retreating toward the bathroom before he could see how easily he still got to me.By the time I climbed into bed that night, curled against his chest with his fingers combing slowly through my hair, I still hadn’t told him anything.“You know yo

  • Obsessed With My Father’s Boss    If They Want War

    Rhea’s POV“Oh, you’re here!”That annoying voice I never wanted to hear again cut through the air. Lyra and I turned in unison, hands folding at the sound of it.“Come on, aren’t you guys happy to see me?” Mia flipped her hair excitedly. She’d changed, put on some weight in the right places, and the body-hugging gown she wore left nothing to the imagination. Good for her.“What are you doing here?” Lyra asked before I could.Mia smirked. “I heard my besties were applying, so why not? It wouldn’t be fun without me. The more the merrier.”“Mia Bennett.” A voice called from the hallway.She smiled. “See you later, besties.”She walked off, hips swaying side to side. My fists clenched so hard my nails bit into my palms.“That bitch doesn’t give up, does she?” Lyra muttered.I unclenched my fists and shook my head. “Well, it’s two against one now.” I wouldn’t let her get under my skin again.The interview went well, and we were posted to our departments. Of course the universe, playing

  • Obsessed With My Father’s Boss    Making A Statement

    Rhea’s POV“I love you.”Three words, and just like that, sleep was off the table.I lay there rerunning them until the ceiling started to blur, then gave up and paced the room instead, already halfway into a fantasy where morning brought some grand confession. I actually reached for my phone to call Lyra before I caught myself. Nobody wants a two a.m. call that starts with “so my husband might have said something.”I watched him for any sign he meant it, some follow-up, some clue. Nothing came. The night gave up on me faster than I gave up on it, and when I woke the next morning, I was tucked in alone, the duvet pulled snug around me, as if someone had actually taken a moment to arrange it.Heat crept up my neck. I’d passed out on the couch. He’d carried me to bed.I was up in seconds, into the bathroom, a rushed splash of water on my face, and out the door before I could second-guess the outfit I hadn’t even changed. My steps slowed once his door came into view, and I made a show of

  • Obsessed With My Father’s Boss    All I needed was patience

    Rhea’s POVHe didn’t come after me.That was the part that stuck. Not the sleepless night, not the silence on the other side of the wall, but the fact that come morning, he was smiling as if none of it had happened. He even made breakfast, which was new. In all this time, he’d never once made me breakfast.I sat across the table and watched him play house with someone else, right in front of me, and still find a spare second to lean over and peck my cheek like it cost him nothing. Like it meant nothing. Maybe it didn’t.Rowan stayed home for days after that, wrapped up in Vee, and I existed somewhere at the edge of the picture. I told myself she’d get bored and leave eventually, and I would still be standing there when she did. That was the lie I fed myself to get through each day.I called Lyra so many times my thumb ached from redialing. Nothing. When I finally showed up at her door, she wouldn’t even open it all the way.“Go back to your dear husband,” was all she gave me.The day

  • Obsessed With My Father’s Boss    Watching Him Choose Her

    Rhea’s POV“Lyra, wait!” I called, but she didn’t even glance back. She marched straight toward them like a woman on a mission from God.“Excuse me.” Lyra stopped in front of the couple. Rowan didn’t turn.“Excuse me, Mr. Langston.” Closer this time. That got him.The making-out couple finally noticed they had an audience.“Good evening, Miss. Do you know he’s married?” Lyra asked.My mouth fell open. That had to be the weirdest opening line in the history of confrontations.Even in the dim light, I could see the disgust curling across the woman’s face.“Lang, who is this bitch?” she said sweetly, hand still draped on Rowan’s neck, eyes crawling over Lyra like she’d found something on the bottom of her shoe.Lang. Really. I stood frozen, useless as a houseplant.“I’m the type of bitch who doesn’t mess with someone else’s husband,” Lyra said, stepping forward.For a second I thought she was actually going to swing. I knew Lyra, she had zero chill on a good day. But instead she turned t

  • Obsessed With My Father’s Boss    Charade

    Rhea’s POV“You are just one of them.”The words kept ringing in my head, even as we landed at the airport, even through the solo drive back home. I couldn’t shake them off. I had thought I was special, at least to some point. Even my whole charade had been for nothing.All the plans I’d made, to walk into the airport, talk to a few reporters, make the headlines again, ended in nothing. I’d had to cover my face with glasses and a mask and run straight into the car. My cute outfit, wasted.I sat alone in my room, eyes fixed on the moving clock, somehow wanting to believe it was all fake, that Mia was just doing everything she could to drive a wedge between us.I held onto that thought when I fell asleep, and I woke up still holding it. But this time Mia had flooded my inbox with more pictures, captioned: good morning, Mrs. Langston.She was mocking me.I woke up day after day waiting for him. No appearance. And Mia kept the pictures coming, tears rolling down my cheeks. Thankfully, I d

    Rhea’s POV I woke up feeling like someone had used my head for drumming practice all night.My eyes opened slowly, and the first thing I felt was pain sitting right behind them.

  • Obsessed With My Father’s Boss    Watching My Mr Rowan

    Rhea’s POVWatching Mr. Rowan from my bedroom window never got old. He moved like he owned the world, his broad shoulders perfectly fitted in that red shirt, the faint curl of cigar smoke marking his presence. My father walked beside him, talking quietly, but I wasn’t listening. My gaze was locked,
