Chap 11: The Voice
A deafening boom echoed through the room when Liam desperately tried to push the massive double doors open. They would not budge. Not even a centimeter. His breathing became more strained as he pulled on the handles, his heart pounding further with each failed attempt. "Damn," he swore, stepping back, staring at the stuck doors as if ordering them to be opened. His gaze shot to the windows—his last hope. But a simple tug on the latches showed futility. Locked. Bolted. No escape. A heavy sensation had crept into his chest. This was not some bizarre prank or a top-security measure. He was being kept hostage. His mind went back to the events of the day. The stranger is fainting at the airport. The unusual smile of the receptionist—once, twice. And this. Being held captive in a room in a firm that could have someone abducted and never be seen again. His fists clenched. His gasps were brief and shallow. Panic was rising up his t
Chap 10: Baited Delivery
As Madam Maeve smirked in joy, the sun rolls in and its was now 4 pm when Liam strolled into the delivery office, rolling his shoulders to shake off the lingering tension from his earlier encounter. The moment he stepped inside, a wave of noise crashed over him.“He’s back!” someone shouted dramatically.Liam barely had time to blink before a small mob of coworkers surrounded him, grinning like hyenas.“Bro, we need DETAILS.”“What happened with the Demoness Receptionist?!”“Did she glare at you so hard your soul left your body?”Liam sighed, raising his hands in surrender. “Alright, alright. She was just as terrifying as you all said. At first.”A collective murmur of agreement rippled through the group.“Of course! That’s the Demoness for you!”“Cold, ruthless, and emotionless.”Liam rubbed his chin. “Yeah. but then, out of nowhere, she smiled at me.”Dead silence.The entire office froze. Even the ones who were just half-listening from their desks stopped what they were doing.Then
Chap 9: The Ghost Ceo
Later that day in the Tian Mansion.Lucas' room was eerily silent, broken only by the rhythmic beeping of the monitors connected to Lucas’s unconscious body. The once-powerful heir of the Tianhu Group now lay motionless, his usually sharp features pale and weak. The air was thick with the scent of disinfectants and medicine.Mr Nolan stood by the window, his arms crossed tightly over his chest, his mind heavy with worry. The stillness of the room was only disturbed when his phone vibrated in his pocket.He barely glanced at the caller ID before answering."What is it?" His voice was clipped, impatient.The employee at the other end of the line hesitated before speaking."Sir, we just wanted to inform you that the CEO personally visited the company earlier today… disguised as a delivery person."Mr Nolan froze.His fingers gripped the phone tighter as he slowly turned his head to look at the real Lucas—lying unconscious in bed."Say that again?" His voice lowered dangerously."The CEO
Chap 8: Identity Mishaps
The moment Liam stepped out of the taxi in front of Tianhu Group, he instantly regretted not faking an illness to get out of this.The massive skyscraper loomed over him like some rich person’s middle finger to society, its glass exterior gleaming under the sun. The golden letters spelling "Tianhu Group" practically screamed "If you’re poor, don’t even breathe near us."He let out a low whistle. “Damn. No wonder they’re so picky about deliveries. This place is basically a money-printing machine.”Adjusting the small, metal-sealed package under his arm, he sighed and stepped forward, mentally preparing himself for what was about to be the worst delivery experience of his life.As soon as he walked through the glass doors, he was greeted by sheer luxury—marble floors, towering chandeliers, and a reception desk so polished it could probably blind people.But none of that mattered.Because sitting at the front desk was her.The legendary Demoness Receptionist.She had an aura so cold, Lia
Chap 7: Keep It Hidden
The air in the hospital room was thick with the sterile scent of antiseptic and the quiet hum of medical equipment. Lucas lay motionless on the hospital bed, his chest rising and falling in a slow, almost fragile rhythm. The oxygen mask on his face made him seem even more distant, as though he were already slipping away.Madam Maeve stood beside him, her sharp eyes fixed on the machines that monitored his condition. Her grip tightened on the silk scarf draped over her arm, the fine material crumpling under the pressure of her fingers.The doctor’s words still echoed in her ears."The poison had already reached his heart before we could extract it. His body shut down on its own. Now, all we can do is wait."Wait? Wait?Madam Maeve’s lips curled into a bitter smile. How laughable. The enemies who dared to do this—did they truly believe she would simply sit and wait?Behind her, Miss Charlie stood in silence, sensing the storm brewing in the older woman’s mind. Mr Nolan, her long-time ai
Chap 6: Shocking News
Liam wiped the sweat off his brow as he handed over the package to the shopkeeper. The man gave him a quick nod before sliding a few crisp bills across the counter.“Here. Good work,” the shopkeeper muttered before turning away.Liam pocketed the money without a word and turned to leave, but the moment his feet hit the pavement outside, his mind drifted back to the unconscious stranger at the airport.The way his body just gave out, it didn’t look normal.Liam frowned. He had seen exhaustion before—hell, he lived with it daily—but that man collapsed as if someone had sucked the life out of him.I should just leave it alone.But his body didn’t listen. Before he even realized it, his legs carried him toward a nearby staff member, a young woman in a crisp uniform who had been directing travelers.“Excuse me,” Liam said, his voice rough.The woman blinked at him in surprise. “Yes? Can I help you?”“The guy who collapsed earlier,” he said, trying to sound casual. “What happened to him?”S
