The Boss’s Secret | Episode Six - Fourteen

Episode 6 – The Confrontation

Written By Jed The Creator

Clara couldn’t sleep that night.
Daniel’s paper lay on her table, staring back at her like a silent threat. Emily’s warning echoed in her head.

Two people she trusted with her life—yet one of them was lying.

By morning, Clara made a decision.
If she wanted the truth, she had to hear it from the source.

At lunch break, she walked into her boss’s office.

Mr. Raymond looked up from his desk, his usual calm but intimidating smile spreading across his face.
“Clara. What a pleasant surprise. To what do I owe this visit?”

Clara’s throat felt dry, but she forced the words out.
“Sir… why is my name on a recruitment list?”

For the first time, Raymond’s smile faltered. His pen slipped slightly in his hand before he set it down.
“Where did you hear that?” he asked, his voice low.

Clara hesitated. “Doesn’t matter. I just want to know the truth.”

Raymond leaned back in his chair, studying her carefully.
“You’re a smart woman, Clara. But sometimes, knowing too much can be… dangerous.”

Her heart skipped. “So it’s true?”

He chuckled softly.
“Let’s just say… you’re more valuable than you realize. And very soon, you’ll understand why.”

Before Clara could respond, Raymond’s phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen, then dismissed her with a wave of his hand.
“We’ll talk later. Go back to work.”

Clara left the office, her legs weak, her mind spinning.

Outside, she spotted a familiar figure leaning against a car across the street—
Daniel Scott. Watching her again.

And in that moment, Clara realized something terrifying.

She wasn’t just caught between two sides.
Both of them wanted her.
But for reasons she still didn’t understand.

Episode 7 – Buried Past

Written By Jed The Creator

Clara’s head spun as she walked home that night.
Her boss had confirmed it—she was valuable. But what did that even mean?

By the time she reached her apartment, she was too exhausted to think. She pushed her door open—then froze.

Someone was already inside.

Her living room light flickered, and Daniel stepped out of the shadows, holding a small file in his hand.

“Don’t scream,” he said calmly. “You need to see this.”

Clara’s anger flared.
“How dare you keep breaking into my home! Who do you think you are?”

“I’m the only one trying to save you,” Daniel replied, placing the file on the table. “Read it.”

Clara hesitated, then opened the file.
Her eyes widened in shock.

It was her birth certificate. But the father’s name had been blacked out, replaced with a stamped seal that read CLASSIFIED.

“What… what is this?” Clara stammered.

Daniel’s voice dropped.
“Your past isn’t what you think it is. Raymond knows. That’s why you’re on that list. Clara, you were never just a regular employee.”

Clara shook her head violently.
“No. That’s impossible. My mother never told me anything like this.”

Daniel looked at her with pity.
“She couldn’t. Because the truth is dangerous. And now, it’s coming for you.”

Suddenly, Clara’s phone buzzed.
It was Emily.

Her message read:
“Clara, don’t go home tonight. They’re coming for you.”

Clara’s hands trembled as she lifted her gaze to Daniel.

If Emily was warning her not to go home… then why was Daniel already here, waiting?

Episode 8 – The Break-In

Written By Jed The Creator

Clara’s phone slipped from her hand as she read Emily’s message.
Don’t go home tonight. They’re coming for you.

Her gaze shot to Daniel, who was still standing calmly in her living room.

“Emily warned me not to come home,” Clara said, her voice shaking. “And yet—you’re already here. Why should I believe you’re not one of them?”

Daniel sighed. “Because if I wanted to hurt you, Clara, you wouldn’t still be standing.”

Before she could reply, the sound of glass shattering echoed through her apartment.

Both of them froze.

Clara’s heart pounded as three masked men climbed in through the broken window, dressed in black and moving fast.

“Stay behind me,” Daniel ordered, pulling a small weapon from under his jacket.

The intruders lunged forward. One swung a metal rod at Daniel, but he blocked it with swift precision, striking back and knocking the man to the ground.

Clara screamed as another grabbed her wrist, yanking her toward the door.

“Let her go!” Daniel’s voice roared through the chaos.

In a blur, Daniel tackled the man, forcing him to release Clara. The third intruder pulled a knife, but Daniel disarmed him with brutal efficiency.

Within seconds, all three men were sprawled on the floor—groaning, defeated.

Clara pressed herself against the wall, her chest heaving.
She had just witnessed her mysterious stalker fight like a trained soldier.

Daniel turned to her, breathing hard but steady. His eyes locked on hers.

“Now do you believe me?” he asked.

Before Clara could respond, one of the masked men spat blood and hissed:
“She belongs to Raymond. You can’t hide her forever.”

Clara’s blood turned to ice.

Episode 9 – On the Run

Written By Jed The Creator

Clara’s legs felt like jelly as she stared at the masked men groaning on her apartment floor.
Her safe little world had shattered in an instant.

Daniel grabbed her hand firmly.
“We can’t stay here. More will come.”

Clara yanked her hand back. “No—I can’t just disappear! I have a job, a life—”

Daniel’s voice cut sharp. “You have no life anymore, Clara. Not the one you knew. You saw it yourself—Raymond sent people to take you. If you stay, you’re dead.”

Tears stung her eyes.
Everything in her screamed to run, yet part of her still doubted him.

Then her phone buzzed again. Another message from Emily:

“Clara, don’t trust Daniel. Meet me instead. I can keep you safe.”

Clara’s heart twisted.
Emily or Daniel. Best friend or stranger.

Before she could decide, the sound of sirens pierced the night. Someone had reported the break-in.

Daniel’s jaw tightened. He pulled her close.
“If the police take you, they’ll hand you back to Raymond. He has influence everywhere. If you want the truth and your freedom, you come with me. Now.”

Clara looked into his fierce blue eyes, then at the broken glass and masked intruders.

For the first time in her life, she realized her choice could mean life or death.

And in a trembling voice, she whispered—
“Fine. I’ll go with you.”

Daniel’s grip tightened around her hand as they slipped into the darkness, leaving her old life behind.

But as Clara glanced back one last time at her apartment, a chilling thought hit her.

If Emily was right about Daniel… she had just walked straight into the arms of the enemy.

Episode 10 – Secrets in the Dark

Written By Jed The Creator

The night air was cold as Daniel led Clara down a deserted street. His grip on her hand was strong, steady, like he’d been preparing for this moment all along.

They moved fast, slipping into a black SUV parked in the shadows. Daniel started the engine, his jaw tight.

Clara sat stiffly in the passenger seat, her mind spinning.
She had just abandoned everything—her job, her apartment, her best friend’s warning—all to trust a man she barely knew.

After an hour of silent driving, they stopped at a remote cabin tucked deep inside the woods. Daniel turned off the headlights and finally spoke.

“You’re safe here. For now.”

Clara folded her arms. “Safe? You’ve dragged me to the middle of nowhere with no explanation. If you don’t start talking, I’m leaving.”

Daniel looked at her, his eyes burning with intensity.
“Fine. You want the truth? Then listen carefully. Raymond isn’t just your boss—he’s connected to an underground network. They target people with… special backgrounds. People like you.”

Clara’s heart hammered.
“Special backgrounds? What are you talking about? I’m just a normal woman who works in a call center!”

Daniel shook his head.
“No. You’re not normal, Clara. Your past was erased for a reason. Your father—”

He stopped suddenly, his jaw clenching as though he’d said too much.

Clara leaned forward, her voice trembling.
“My father what? Tell me!”

Before Daniel could answer, the cabin’s window shattered with a deafening crack.

Gunshots ripped through the silence.

Daniel pulled Clara down to the floor, shielding her with his body.
“They’ve found us,” he growled.

Clara’s blood froze.
Whoever was after her wasn’t stopping.

Episode 11 – Fire in the Cabin

Written By Jed The Creator

Bullets tore through the wooden walls, splinters flying everywhere. Clara pressed her hands over her ears, her heart racing so fast she thought it would burst.

Daniel moved like a soldier. In one swift motion, he dragged her behind the overturned table.
“Stay down. Don’t move.”

He pulled a weapon from under his jacket and fired back through the shattered window. Shouts erupted outside.

Clara’s whole body shook.
She wasn’t supposed to be here—she was supposed to be safe at home, drinking tea after work. Yet here she was, lying on the floor of a cabin while strangers tried to kill her.

A shadow loomed by the back door.
Clara’s eyes widened. “Daniel—behind you!”

He spun, firing just in time. The masked man dropped, his weapon clattering to the ground.

“Move!” Daniel barked, grabbing Clara’s wrist and pulling her toward a trapdoor she hadn’t noticed before. He kicked it open, revealing a narrow underground tunnel.

“Get in!”

Clara hesitated. “What if this is another trap? What if—”

“Clara!” Daniel snapped, his eyes fierce. “Do you want to die here?”

She swallowed hard and slid into the darkness of the tunnel. Daniel followed, sealing the hatch behind them.

They crawled through the narrow passage, the sound of gunfire fading above. Clara’s breaths came in ragged gasps.

At last, they emerged in the forest, the night air biting their skin. Smoke rose in the distance—the cabin burning to the ground.

Clara stumbled, tears streaming down her face.
“This is insane… this is insane! Who are these people? Why me?”

Daniel gripped her shoulders firmly, forcing her to look at him.
“Because of who your father was, Clara. And if you don’t trust me, you’ll never survive long enough to find out.”

Clara’s breath caught.
Her father again. Always her father.

But before she could respond, a phone buzzed in Daniel’s pocket. He frowned, pulling it out—
The caller ID flashed one name.

Emily.

Episode 12 – The Call

Written By Jed The Creator

Clara froze when she saw the name glowing on Daniel’s phone.
Emily.

Her best friend.
The one who had been warning her all along.

Daniel’s jaw tightened as he stared at the screen. Then, without hesitation, he answered.
“What do you want?”

Clara’s mouth dropped. “You know her?”

Daniel raised a hand to silence her, his voice sharp.
“Speak, Emily.”

On the other end, Emily’s voice trembled.
“Daniel… you can’t keep running with her. They’ll track you both. You’re putting her in more danger.”

Clara’s heart pounded. “Emily?!” she shouted, trying to grab the phone. “What are you talking about? Why are you calling him?”

But Daniel held the phone out of her reach. His eyes never left her face as he listened.

Emily’s voice cracked through the line again.
“Clara doesn’t know the truth yet. If she finds out too soon, it’ll destroy her. Keep her away from Raymond at all costs.”

Daniel’s hand clenched into a fist. “You think I don’t know that? But the attacks are escalating. Someone’s leaking our moves.”

Clara’s head spun. Our moves? What did that even mean?

Emily’s tone softened.
“Daniel… if you really care about her, you’ll bring her to me. I’m the only one she’ll trust.”

Daniel’s eyes flickered, unreadable, before he ended the call abruptly.

Clara grabbed his arm, her voice trembling with anger.
“You’ve been working with Emily this whole time? Both of you have been lying to me?”

Daniel’s gaze locked onto hers, cold and sharp.
“You don’t understand, Clara. This is bigger than friendship. Bigger than trust. And if you want to survive, you’ll have to accept that not everyone can tell you the truth.”

Clara’s breath caught. For the first time, she wondered if she could trust anyone at all.

💎 THE BOSS’S SECRET

Episode 13 – The Betrayal

Written By Jed The Creator

Clara’s mind was in chaos. The call. Emily’s voice. The lies.

That night, when Daniel finally fell asleep on the couch, Clara made a decision. She couldn’t sit back anymore. She needed answers—straight from Emily.

Quietly, she slipped Daniel’s spare phone into her pocket. She had memorized Emily’s number from the screen earlier. Her heart pounded as she stepped outside and dialed.

The line rang twice before Emily’s shaky voice answered.
“Clara? Is that you?”

“Yes, it’s me,” Clara snapped. “How dare you? You’re supposed to be my best friend. Why are you calling Daniel? Why are you warning him behind my back?”

Emily sighed, her tone heavy with guilt.
“Clara… you don’t understand. I was trying to protect you.”

“Protect me? By lying to me? By sneaking behind me with him?” Clara’s voice cracked. “What kind of friend does that?”

Silence. Then Emily whispered,
“Because Daniel isn’t who you think he is. And neither is Raymond.”

Clara froze. “What do you mean?”

“You were never supposed to meet him. Your father—” Emily’s words cut short. Suddenly, Clara heard loud footsteps in the background, followed by muffled voices.

“Emily? Emily!” Clara cried into the phone.

But the line went dead.

Her hands shook as she stared at the phone. Just then, a shadow fell across the porch.

Daniel was standing there, his expression unreadable.
“You shouldn’t have made that call, Clara.”

Her stomach dropped. His tone wasn’t angry—it was dangerous.

For the first time, Clara realized the man she was falling for… might be the same man who could destroy her.

Episode 14 – The Vanishing

Written By Jed The Creator

Clara’s chest tightened as Daniel’s eyes bore into hers. She quickly hid the phone behind her back, but his slight smirk told her he already knew.

“You don’t trust me,” Daniel said softly, almost too calm. “And now you’ve dragged yourself into something you don’t understand.”

Clara swallowed hard. “Then explain! What’s happening? Why is Emily involved in this?”

But before Daniel could answer, his own phone buzzed. He frowned and checked it—only to stiffen.

Clara caught a glimpse of the message.
“Emily is gone. Taken.”

Her heart skipped. “What do you mean taken?!” she cried.

Daniel’s jaw clenched. He pocketed the phone and stepped closer to her. “This is exactly why I told you not to interfere. Now they have her.”

“They? Who are they?!” Clara demanded, her voice shaking.

Daniel’s eyes darkened. “The same people who killed your father.”

Clara staggered back, her breath hitching. “My… my father? You told me he died in an accident—”

Daniel cut her off sharply. “That’s the lie you were raised to believe. The truth is far bloodier.”

Clara’s head spun. Emily kidnapped. Her father murdered. Daniel hiding secrets. Nothing made sense anymore.

Tears burned her eyes as she whispered, “Then tell me who he really was.”

Daniel’s lips pressed into a thin line. After a long silence, he leaned close to her ear and said one chilling word—

“The Boss.”

Clara froze. Her world collapsed in an instant.

Her father… was the very man everyone feared.
