Gill Webb didn't take my rejection lightly. He summoned me to his office immediately. His voice was soft, unnervingly calm. "Adeline, you shouldn't be so stubborn. Life is full of opportunities."

He leaned back in his leather chair, a faint smirk playing on his lips. "I'm only interested in a certain... aspect of your husband. Why do you care so much?" He chuckled softly. "If you aren't using him yourself, why not let someone else enjoy the view?"

I stared at him, my mind reeling. His words were vile, disgusting.

He continued. "You could give him a little sleeping aid. He won't suspect a thing. He'll wake up feeling refreshed." He promised, "No memory, no trouble."

"Adeline, agree to this, and I'll promote you to VP. A million-dollar salary." My current salary barely covered our mounting debts.

A million dollars. It was an astronomical sum.

"Go home and think about it. Give me an answer by the end of the week." His tone carried a razor-sharp threat.

I panicked, trying to find a way out. How could I escape this? Gill's power was suffocating. I felt powerless.

He was my boss. He had a thousand ways to make my life miserable.
