The Billionaire Ex I Cheated On

"Tell me, Miss Robin, when was the last time you disappointed someone who trusted you?" The question hung in the air like a loaded weapon. My hands trembled beneath the mahogany table as I stared into the cold, green eyes of the CEO. He wasn't just my interviewer. He was Leonard Conti—the man I had destroyed four years ago. "I... I believe everyone makes mistakes," I whispered, my voice barely audible in the silent boardroom. He leaned back, a cruel smile playing on his lips. "Mistakes? Is that what you call finding your girlfriend half-naked with your best friend on prom night?" The other interviewers gasped, shifting uncomfortably, but Leonard didn't break eye contact. He was enjoying this. He held my resume like it was a piece of trash he couldn't wait to discard. I needed this job to save my family from bankruptcy, and he knew it. He knew he held my entire future in his hands, just like I once held his heart before I crushed it. "Here is my offer," he said, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper that sent shivers down my spine. "You can walk out that door now and never come back. Or you can stay, work for me, and face my wrath." I looked at the man who used to look at me with love, now looking at me with pure hatred. I had no choice. "I'll stay," I said. "Good," Leonard replied, his eyes darkening. "Then let the nightmare begin."
