Chapter 7 A Bomb About to Explode

Author: Day Torres
Scott leaned on his desk and exhaled all the air he'd been holding in, suddenly realizing his heart was racing like a thoroughbred.

"I hate her," he growled through clenched teeth—but a moment later, a smug smile crept across his face. His revenge was already in motion.

From that day on, Alexia's promotion became her personal hell. The executives hated her, and her own team of analysts despised her for taking over their former supervisor's job.

Day by day, Alexia sank deeper into a pit of frustration. She'd come to this company with a clear goal, but it was quickly becoming a nightmare. Her coworkers constantly belittled her, excluded her, and treated her with open hostility.

Reporting anything to Human Resources was pointless. It felt like the boss himself was encouraging the behavior. They spoke to her with disrespect and tried to push her around at every turn.

But despite the pressure, Alexia refused to back down. She doubled down on her investigation, determined to find the thief no matter what it took. She was convinced that when the truth came out, Scott would regret having treated her so unfairly.

"Wow… that's a lot of water," Scott muttered a week later, stepping into the elevator and seeing the puddle forming at Alexia's feet.

Someone had activated the sprinklers in her office and completely soaked the place.

"Bastards," she spat, glaring furiously at all the ruined documents and equipment.

Scott just smiled, clearly amused by her misfortune.

"You think this is funny?" she snapped at him.

"Just a harmless prank," he shrugged.

"Do you know how many important documents were destroyed by that 'harmless prank'?" she demanded, locking eyes with him. "You knew this would happen—and you don't care! They're attacking me while I'm trying to do my job! Your executives are making my life miserable, and the analysts won't cooperate because someone spread a rumor that I got this promotion by sleeping with you!"

Scott burst out laughing. That someone had been him, of course—but he wasn't about to admit it.

"Oh, sweetheart… you wish," he hissed smugly.

"Excuse me?!" Alexia roared.

"I said, you wish you got to drive this Ferrari," Scott replied, blatantly glancing down at his zipper without an ounce of shame.

"Ferrari?" she shot back. "With how hard you're overcompensating, what you've really got down there is a Mini Cooper—with two flat tires."

Scott's fist slammed into the emergency stop button, and before Alexia could even scream, his hands gripped her by the waist and hoisted her up against the elevator wall. In a second, he closed the distance between them, pressing his body hard against hers.

She tried to clamp her legs shut, but suspended in the air, with him right between them—it was impossible.

"Say that again," he growled in her ear, gripping her hips tightly as the heat pulsing through his veins turned into a violent erection, pushing right against her panties.

"L-let me go," she stammered, biting down hard on her lower lip.

"Are you sure?" Scott smirked. "Because down here, it feels like you're just as fucking turned on as I am."

Alexia shut her eyes and let out a strangled moan. Whatever was pressed between her legs through their clothes was massive. And it made her skin buzz like she was touching live wires. Scott's mouth crushed against hers in a wild, devouring kiss, and when their tongues met, one of his hands slid under her skirt and yanked it up—fingers digging into her bare ass.

His tongue moved with devastating precision, and Alexia felt like she was being consumed by fire. Her hands tried to shove him away, but ended up roaming his chest instead, feeling the defined muscles beneath his shirt as her own body betrayed her, giving in.

A second later, Scott stepped back and let her go, watching her chest rise and fall as she gasped for air.

"Well, looks like the Mini Cooper still managed to get you going," he said smugly as the elevator began moving again.

"You're an animal!" Alexia growled, blinking back the sting of tears.

"You have no idea," Scott replied with a grin, snapping his fingers at her. "Now back to work. Let's go. You've still got a thief to catch."

Alexia stormed out of the elevator, holding back the urge to murder him. The rest of the day dragged on as she tried to focus on her tasks, cold and drenched, but it was impossible to forget that humiliating moment.

By the time evening rolled around, she had way too much work left to go home. She trudged into the break room on her floor, only for everyone there to immediately get up and leave—as if she were contagious.

"Is it just me, or does Miss Hartley look a little rough today?" Scott joked to one of his executives nearby. "That woman's an ice queen, but today she really looks frozen solid."

"Don't worry, sir," the other man laughed. "I'm sure she's about to warm up real fast."

For some reason, that comment didn't sit right with Scott. He glanced toward Alexia, who was fiddling with the coffee machine—and a strange tension seized his chest.

"What do you mean?" he growled at the man beside him.

But there wasn't time for a reply.

The next second came a small explosion—the sound of the coffee machine's lid slamming into the ceiling—and then a heavy thud as a body hit the floor.

    "Damn it!" Scott roared in frustration. "I told you this would happen—but you never listen!" Daniel snapped. "You can't be stubborn your whole life! Alexia Hartley is a nobody—with nothing. She was just a means to an end! All you had to do was take her to that fucking interview!" Scott slammed his papers onto the table and buried his face in his hands. It was a disaster—but the real questions weighing on him weren't the ones Daniel thought. "When will Gerber's decision come in?" Scott asked. "In a couple of days—by Thursday at the latest," Daniel replied. "But forget it. That man was already resentful after what you said at your house. You know what's coming. I need to start preparing everything—schedule a board meeting, figure out who runs the company while you're gone." Daniel stormed out, leaving Scott staring out the window. He'd faced bigger enemies—but he couldn't believe that a single man, a stupid immigration decision, could stand in his way. "I know why you did wha

    "…Harder, please," she begged, and he growled in delight. "Correct answer," he whispered before flipping her around and positioning her from behind. He grabbed her hips and drove into her again, matching the perfect rhythm their bodies had found. Alexia arched her back to give him more, to feel him deeper—and that only made Scott thrust harder until she could barely stand. He drove her back and forth against the Jacuzzi wall, making her scream as every movement shook her body. The pace was frenetic, wild, and, caught in her own frenzy, he slid a thumb between her cheeks and teased her ass. Just as she felt the first contractions of an orgasm rising, he bit her earlobe and cupped her breasts. "I hope you're a little lady when it matters," he whispered, parting her cheeks and pushing in from behind. Alexia lifted her head and screamed as his hot thrusts consumed her just as she climaxed. His movements deepened and intensified, and Alexia dug her nails into the pool's edge as wa

    She was trembling. Trembling in his arms—and not from the cold—and Scott couldn't explain why that thrilled him so much. "It's not hard, Alexia. Do you want to be here or not? Do you want me to kiss you… or not?" he whispered. "You're not going to stop at a kiss," she whispered, and Scott grinned. "Of course not. I'm no Prince Charming, baby. I'm the Big Bad Wolf—especially when it comes to 'eating you better,'" he murmured against her lips. Alexia swallowed. It really was a tough decision for her. She had only ever been with one man—and he had betrayed her in the worst possible way. A thousand doubts clouded her mind, making her feel suddenly small. "I don't know if I'm any good at this…" she murmured, and Scott frowned, intrigued. It was strange to see her so insecure. "I can teach you," he whispered against her skin. "And I bet this won't be over in TikTok time." Alexia smiled. She knew she could leave, but the truth was she didn't want to. It was just sex, nothing mor

  • Bride of the Billionaire Beast   Chapter 47 You Don't Want That

    Alexia looked him in the eyes, and Scott shivered at the emptiness he saw in them. He couldn't explain this strange need to see her safe and happy. He took her hand and gestured for her to follow him. "Okay, what I'm about to show you is top secret," he said. "No one—absolutely no one—knows about this but me. Not even Beast." "Seriously?" Alexia murmured, skeptical. "You'll see why." They entered the game room, and Scott locked the door behind them. He pressed a button on the back of the TV cabinet, and Alexia watched as the panel slid aside to reveal a narrow, dark passageway. "You do have a dungeon! I knew it!" Alexia exclaimed. "Even better." Scott went in first, and small motion-sensor lights lit up as they walked. They went down a spiral staircase—maybe six meters deep—and Alexia was stunned by the soft blue light glowing from the middle of what looked like… a cave? "You have a cave under your house?" she asked, amazed. The cave walls looked like a honeycomb, ful

  • Bride of the Billionaire Beast   Chapter 46 A Cancelled Appointment

    Alexandra Kingsley had died on the 26th of April, the day before her honeymoon. A year and three months later, as that man hit her in the head and kidnapped her, her last thought was whether she was really destined to die. It felt like life just wasn't on her side. And now it wasn't Albert and Claudia trying to kill her, but thieves and kidnappers tied to Scott. While Garrick drugged her and she fought back, she couldn't help but wonder if maybe it'd be better to just die already. But her survival instinct was stronger. Thankfully, somehow all those dark thoughts faded a little whenever he was near. Alexia could feel Scott's arms around her, holding her, though she couldn't tell if she was awake or dreaming. Another day passed before Alexia could finally sit up on her own and look at him. "Thanks for saving me," she murmured, and he stroked her cheek. "Forgive me for putting you in danger," he replied. "You didn't do it, he did…" Alexia grimaced and hugged herself. "I want

    The detective looked puzzled but shook his head. "No, it's fine. You can go." "You seem disappointed, Detective," Scott hissed. "No, just confused. Someone killed Garrick and beat Gunther Phelps nearly to death. That means there's someone else involved…" "Or maybe your timeline is off. Maybe Gunther killed Garrick in self-defense—he was beaten to a pulp," Scott shot back. "Either way, that's your problem now. Please leave. I'd prefer not to have cops around while I wait for updates on my wife." The detective nodded. Truth was, there wasn't much more he could do, so he left. Once everyone was gone—including Daniel—Scott looked at his grandfather. As soon as Mr. Gerard had arrived at the hospital, he'd dragged Scott into the nearest bathroom. "Come with me." He locked the door and handed Scott a small bottle that looked like shampoo. "Jack said you fired a weapon. Is that true?" Scott nodded. "He told me to have you wash your hands up to your elbows with this and hold it fo
