Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 61: The Hunter and the Prey
Serena’s POVThe smile faded from my face almost as quickly as it had appeared.That was enough.More than enough.One minute I was smiling at Killian as though we were simply two people celebrating a hard-earned victory together.The next, I remembered exactly who he was.And who I was.I tightened my grip on my purse and forced my feet to move, reminding myself that every moment I spent letting my guard down around him made it easier to forget why I’d come back into his life in the first place.I needed to put as much distance between us as possible before I did something reckless… like convincing myself that any of this was real.I’d barely taken two steps toward the door when his voice stopped me in my tracks.“Elena… wait.”I turned around just as he bent down to pick something up from the floor.“You dropped this,” he said, holding up the silk scarf that had been wrapped around my neck all day.“Oh.” My hand immediately flew up to touch my now empty neck. I hadn’t even realized
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 60: Endless possibilities
Serena’s POVKillian’s office was dark, lit only by the glow of the city stretching beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. His back was to me as he paced slowly across the floor, a phone pressed to his ear. Italian rolled effortlessly off his tongue, quick and clipped, his voice low enough that I couldn’t make out the words, but the urgency behind them was impossible to miss. Every few steps, one hand disappeared into his hair before dropping back to his side, the restless movement making it obvious he hadn’t stood still for some time now. The soft click of the door made him glance over his shoulder.And the moment our eyes met, something in his face changed.He lifted one finger, silently asking me to wait, before turning back to the call.“Grazie. Parliamo domani.”He ended the call without another word, set his phone on the desk, and just…watched me.For a second he simply stood there.Then he crossed the room, closing the distance between us so quickly I hadn’t even finished slip
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 59: Turning the tide
Serena’s POVBy the time Louisa found me, she had somehow already heard about the board meeting despite the fact that I had only just made it back to my temporary office. She appeared in the doorway without knocking, coffee in one hand, phone in the other, looking like she had sprinted over ten floors purely to satisfy her curiosity.“Tell me it’s true.”I looked up from the reports spread across my desk. “Good day to you too.”“No, absolutely not.” She set the coffee down, her lips parted in surprise. “We can exchange pleasantries after you tell me what happened in that boardroom.”I looked at her. She looked at me. She pointed at me, then toward what I believed was the floor above us, then back at me again, apparently deciding that finger gestures were more efficient than full sentences.“You actually went in there,” she said.“I didn’t exactly have a choice.”“You always have a choice.” She folded her arms. “Elena, I have worked in this company for four years. I have prepared presen
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 58: A seat at the table
Serena’s POVA wave of skeptical murmurs swept through the room almost immediately. Several directors exchanged uneasy glances, while Derek leaned back in his chair with a deep frown settling across his face.“Another way?” he repeated, his tone thick with disbelief. “Pardon me, but what exactly is that supposed to mean? We’re under a federal restriction.”“I agree with you, Derek. We cooperate fully with the federal authorities,” Killian replied, his voice calm enough to steady the room despite the tension. “They’ll have every document they ask for, and we’ll comply with every legal requirement. But cooperation doesn’t mean we have to bring our entire operation to a standstill. Our cargo can still move. It’ll cost us more, but if we reroute strategically, we can keep our contracts alive while the investigation runs its course.”Derek practically exploded in his seat, leaning forward so aggressively his chair scraped against the floor. "This is a completely reckless proposition!” he
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 57: Another way
Serena’s POVThe elevator descended in silence, the numbers above the doors counting down one floor at a time.Beside me, Killian stood with his hands loosely clasped in front of him, staring straight ahead like the stainless-steel doors had suddenly become the most fascinating thing in the building.His tie was perfectly straight.Everything else about him wasn’t.His shoulders were tight enough to snap steel cables, and every few seconds I caught him clenching his jaw before forcing himself to relax it again.We were less than a minute away from the boardroom.I studied him from the corner of my eye.If he walked into that room looking like this, and with no plans, they would smell blood before he even sat down.And if they tore him apart…My plans went down with him.“Killian.”He turned immediately.I stepped slightly into his line of sight and rested my fingers lightly against his sleeve, just above his elbow.Nothing dramatic.Just enough to make him stop thinking about whatever
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 56: The crooked tie
Serena’s POVThe first thing I noticed was that the room felt different.Killian’s office was usually the kind of space that matched him perfectly. Orderly and spotless. The kind of room that made you stand up straighter just by walking into it. But this morning it looked like someone had finally found a crack in all of that and pried it open. The curtains were only halfway drawn, the grey morning light cutting across the floor at an uneven angle. His jacket was thrown over the back of his chair like he had forgotten it existed. His sleeves were rolled to his forearms, his tie was loose, his collar undone, and his hair had clearly been through several rounds of his own hands.He was pacing when I walked in, phone pressed to his ear, completely absorbed. Then he looked up.The moment his eyes found me, he stopped pacing altogether.Something shifted across his face. It was fleeting, gone almost as quickly as it appeared, but I caught it because I’d spent years watching this man who
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 39: You’re safe with me
Serena’s’ POVKillian’s hand slipped into the pocket of his coat still resting on my shoulders and pulled something out. A small velvet box. Then he held it out toward me.“You forgot this the last time you were in my office,” he said evenly.I looked at the box then back at him, hesitantly takin
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 10: Keep your enemies closer
Serena’s POVThe problem with pretending to be someone else was always feeling like you were on death row the moment you had to spend time with the people who actually knew them.I realized this approximately twelve minutes into drinks with Chloe Laurent.“…and then he had the audacity to tell me h
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 8: Fleur Narcotique
Serena’s POVThe first time Killian showed me this building, we’d stood across the street in the freezing November rain while he grinned like he’d personally conquered Manhattan.“We own it,” he had said, laughing breathlessly as taxis splashed dirty water onto the curb beside us. “Jesus, Serena. W
Sweet Revenge, Mr. CEO Chapter 7: The problem of Elena Reyes
Killian’s POV“You strike me as the kind of man who likes winning so much he forgets to ask whether the prize survives you.”The sentence replayed in my head with brutal, mocking clarity.Again.Again.Crack.The yellow tennis ball slammed against the concrete wall, ricocheting back with a vicious
