Chapter 88 Chapter 88
Vamica’s POV

“I would quit” I let out, making Knight pause in his steps towards the door. “That is excellent, that means you are admitting to the crime also” One of the board members declared eyes glinting with triumph.

“Who do you think would approve your letter of resignation?” Knight asked, his deep voice just slightly above a whisper and yet, my body broke out in a shudder at his voice.

“That doesn’t matter, we can-”

“Another word from you, Director Chan and I would take away all your shares” Knight growled out, interrupting the board member.

The room fell into silence, everyone tensing up at his unusual show of violence. “I-I can’t keep working here” I let out, moving to side step him to walk out of the board room.

He grabbed at my arm, stopping me. “If this is about the files you went through, I would get to the bottom of it but you stay” He whispered into my ear, causing my nipples to pebble.

“Then I would give my resignation letter personally to the chairman” I declared, meeting his gaze head on.

His eyes glinted with an emotion that faded away before I could find out what it was. He dragged me out of the board room, his steps eating up the distance to the office.

“I am not going in there with you” I stood my ground, my heels digging into the floor of the hallway. “You would, bunny” He lifted me into his arms, slamming the door shut as he stepped into the office.

“Let me go!” I struggled against his hold, not paying any mind to the way my heart beat thundered in my chest.

“Not until you stop trying to leave” He let out calmly, his hands clamping down harder around me. I huffed out, a frown on my face as my glasses fogged up.

“I want to leave, I know the files are not forged” I bit out, pushing at his chest. “Let me confirm that, till then you must avoid my father at all cost” He instructed as he set me onto his desk.

He pushed against the desk, his hands resting on each side of me. “D-do you think he is behind this?” I stuttered out, my eyes going wide.

I swallowed, my gaze falling to the ground. It would have been easy for him to get me locked up while he kills me in there and no one would be the wiser.

My heart skipped a beat at that, my hand shooting to where the organ twisted in pain as if punishing me for acting out.

“Where are your pills?” Knight asked, pushing away from the desk to look through my bag. “Thank you” I mumbled out before I threw the pills into my mouth.

My body went weak briefly before my heart continued to pump blood as if nothing happened. “I know you stay with Ethan” He let out.

I swallowed, watching as his broad back shifted underneath his shirt. “I have the right to stay wherever I want” I responded, my voice shaky.

“Do you?” He asked, his hands wrapping around my waist. “Yes, I do” I replied, hopping down the table.

His eyes narrowed on me as I pushed at his chest. He dropped his hands from my waist, the area feeling cold.

“I wouldn’t grant you the permission to transfer offices” Knight declared, his jaw ticking. I already knew he wouldn’t allow me.

Now that he knows where to find him; I couldn’t escape him anymore. I flipped open my laptop, working on the pending jobs assigned to me.

My phone rang out then, breaking my attention from the screen of my laptop. It was my grandma’s nurse.

“Vamica, your grandma wants to see you” She informed me after we shared greetings. The image of what had happened the last time I had seen her flashed across my mind.

“Are you sure it is safe?’ I questioned; I wouldn’t want her to collapse again. “It is, she has been stabled since then” She let out.

I ended the call after promising I would come there after work. Something occurred to me then before I could continue working.

My grandma’s hospital room had been changed to a VIP ward. There was only one person who could do that.

My gaze swung to him then; his back turned to me as he talked in only God knows what language to the person at the other end.

He did so many things that made me believe he could not have known about the files in the first place. Or was he just pretending?

I focused once more on my laptop, typing away.

Once it was closing hour, I picked up my bag and was about to leave when Knight stopped me with a word.

“Don’t” I swallowed, hating how I knew what he meant without him finishing his sentence. I threw a glance at him before I walked out of the office.

I entered into the elevator hurriedly, fearing he would come after me. I couldn’t afford to slip back into his web of pleasure again.

What my grandma had said about me growing weaker the more I was away from him seemed to be true.

What happened earlier in the office with me been to weak to go look for my pills was sometime that only happened when I was in extreme pain.

“Are you ready?” Ethan asked me, his smile appearing a bit sad as he looked at me. I opened my mouth to reply him, the sound of Knight’s voice when he had basically asked me not to follow Ethan home.

“I would take a cab, I need to visit my grandma in the hospital” I told him, stepping away from him as I waved at him.

“He told you not to follow me home, didn’t he?” He asked, causing my steps to pause. I blinked at his accurate prediction, my inside curdling wit how predictable I was.

“I would see you at home Ethan” I rushed out as I stopped a cab before entering inside it, my emotions a mess.
