Was Ordered to Take My Boss Home. At Her Family’s Doorstep—She Introduced Me as Her Boyfriend

Chapter 5

Eleanor had controlled the company’s finances for years.
She had quietly redirected money through overseas accounts.
Alexander had helped her.
But there was one problem.
They needed Victoria removed from the company.
That’s why Richard’s family had pushed Alexander toward her.
Not because they wanted a marriage.
Because they wanted control.
Victoria had unknowingly been standing between them and billions.
She looked devastated.
“I trusted them.”
Richard placed a hand on her shoulder.
“I’m sorry.”
She pulled away.
“I don’t need sympathy.”
Then she looked at me.
“I’m sorry you were dragged into this.”
I shook my head.
“I chose to stay.”
She stared at me.
“Why?”
“Because you asked me to.”
Her eyes filled with tears.
“That isn’t the whole reason.”
“No.”
I stepped closer.
“It’s because I care about you.”
She whispered:
“Daniel.”
Then she hugged me.
It wasn’t part of the act anymore.
