Chapter 115:

Julie’s Point of View

I walked out of the office with wide, rapid strides. As soon as I bolted the door behind me, I felt my knees trembling as if I had been walking on a tightrope. I ran toward my room, the breath racing in my chest insanely.

I sat on the edge of the bed and said:

"My God... what has come over me?"

I whispered to myself in bewilderment, the image of me insulting him in his office replaying before my eyes like a terrifying cinematic tape.

How did I dare say that? Had I gone mad? It was as if a demon had possessed my body and spoken those poisoned words on my behalf.

I put my hand over my mouth as I recalled my foolish words:

"I want someone else to delete it!"

Damn me, why do I speak in this perverted way? Why do I turn into a version of him every time I face him? I felt shame searing me, as if a touch of madness had struck my tongue in his office.

Robert’s Point of View

The fires of rage ignited in my veins like boiling fluid; Julie’s words were echoing in my ears like lashes.

Did she really say she couldn’t stand the memory of me? Does she want "Marcus" to wipe my trace from her lips? Ever since Olivia blew her venom into my ear, the flames have been eating my insides.

I felt an overwhelming desire to smash everything my hand could reach and kill that damn Marcus. No one gets near her... she is mine alone.

I rushed out of the office with steps that shook the hallway and headed straight to her room. I opened the door violently and found her sitting on her bed; she bolted upright in terror as soon as she saw my congested face.

I slammed the door shut behind me with one strike and my eyes fixed on her; the red dress enveloped her body perfectly and provocatively.

Axel jumped toward me, but I had no time for him; I pushed him away gently and then said, my jaw muscles tensing:

"What is your relationship with Marcus?"

Her pupils widened and her lower lip trembled as she answered:

"There is nothing!"

I took a threatening step toward her and asked:

"And why was he seen sneaking out of your room late yesterday at dinner time?"

Shock was clear on her features, and she took a step back, muttering:

"Are... are you watching me?"

I roared in a muffled voice:

"Answer!"

She replied with desperate defiance:

"Ask him!"

I approached her further until she was forced to sit on the bed, then I leaned over her with my entire body, trapping her between my arms, and whispered in a deadly tone:

"Answer me, Julie!"

She swallowed hard and said in a shaky voice:

"He likened me to his lover... and thought I was her."

My fires did not cool; instead, I asked sharply:

"And what was he doing in your room?"

She said while trying to escape with her gaze:

"Nothing... he was asking me if I knew her, then he showed me her picture on his phone, and she really looked like me... because she..."

She suddenly went silent, so I tightened my grip on the bed cover beside her and said:

"Because she what?"

She whispered in a voice that could barely be heard:

"Because she is my mother."

I froze in my place, and I felt a sudden coldness invading my body.

"Marcus... and your mother?"

She nodded weakly:

"Yes... that’s why he was in my room."

I asked her while scrutinizing her face accurately, searching for any lie:

"Is there anything else I should know?"

She looked at me in confusion:

"Like what?"

"Did he try to get close to you?"

She answered with sudden firmness:

"No... and if he tries, I know how to handle myself."

I leaned in further until my lips touched the edge of her ear, and my hot breath came out caressing her skin, as I whispered with poisoned satisfaction:

"That is excellent."

I adjusted my posture and regained my outward coldness, saying commandingly:

"Now... follow me to the office."

She followed me silently, and we entered the office. I sat in my chair with dignity, and she asked me while standing at a distance from me:

"What do you need me for?"

I pointed my hand to the narrow space exactly beside me and said in a mysterious tone:
