On the verge of global domination, THEO, one of the most popular investors, offers OLIVIA a rising fashion star, a deal she can’t reject. Popularity and a massive investment for 70% of her brand. What begins as a partnership, ignites into obsession, and an intimacy they never imagined was possible. But when buried truths come to light about her past, her mother and lies that shaped her. Olivia begins to question everything, including Theo's sudden interest in her and her company. Because the closer they get, the harder it is to tell who's playing who.

Chapter: CHAPTER 14.
The first thing Olivia felt was warmth. A steady, slow burning kind of warmth that wasn’t from the morning sun or the silk sheets wrapped around her body. It was him. Theo’s arm lay heavy over her waist, his chest pressed against her back. His breathing was even, unhurried. Olivia’s lashes fluttered against the pillow, her body humming in recognition of him before her mind even caught up. The memories of last night returned in fragments: the slick slide of water over her skin, his hand guiding the bath gel across her body, the soft pressure of his palm against her breast, the hunger in his touch that triggered all her nerves. Her lips curved against the pillow. For once, she didn’t want to think about what came next. For once, she wanted to just exist in this cocoon with him, her heart tucked against his steady heartbeat, her body feeling as though it belonged to him. A deep voice broke the silence. “Morning.” Olivia turned her head just slightly, her hazel eyes finding his storm-

Chapter: CHAPTER 13.
OLIVIA’S POVImmediately the door slammed shut, my back hit it, the vibration humming through me as Theo’s lips fully claimed mine. I came here for a little teaser, but now… now I’ve had two orgasms and I’m still starving for him.His hand slid up my spine until he found my zipper. My dress fell to the floor, leaving me bare, my panties already abandoned somewhere in the living room. My breasts were out, flushed and aching, and Theo’s gaze raked down my body like fire.He stopped on my chest.One second he was just looking, devouring me with those sharp, dark eyes, and the next his mouth was on me. Hot and demanding. His lips wrapped around my nipple while his hand cupped and kneaded the other. A cry ripped from my throat, sharp and needy. I’d never thought boob play could send me spiraling like this, but…..God! he knew exactly what he was doing. Every flick of his tongue, every tug of his lips, was a direct line to the heat pooling between my legs.Theo had already dragged me through

Chapter: CHAPTER 12
OLIVIA’S POV.I didn’t even give myself time to catch my breath.I just knew bone deep that I needed him again.The moment my eyes met Theo’s, I realised we weren't done yet. The air between us was thick. My body was still humming from the first release. Every nerve was awakened, but it wasn’t enough.His hands were on me again before I could think, sliding down my sides. His mouth claimed mine, harder this time. I sank into him, pulling him closer, my fingers tangled in his shirt, desperate to feel him more.Then his lips left mine and trailed down my towards my neck. The movement of his mouth was slow against my skin, moving from the edge of my jaw to the curve of my neck. I felt my head tip back, baring more of myself to him. His lips moved lower, lower past my collarbone, across the rise of my chest until his tongue brushed over my breasts through the thin fabric of my top. My stomach tightened, and a shaky, loud breath broke free.He didn’t rush. One hand pressed firmly to my hi

Chapter: CHAPTER 11.
The elevator dinged as Olivia stepped into the penthouse, her black silk backless dress hugging her curves. The heels of her stilettos echoed against the polished marble as she stepped into the luxurious space. A dark figure stood in front of the floor to ceiling windows, dressed in a white buttoned shirt tucked into tailored black pants that clung to his tall, lean frame.A bottle of champagne sat chilling in a bucket of ice on the glass coffee table, one flute already out.“Hello,” she said.Theo turned slowly, his eyes sweeping over her.“Hey,” he said, a small smile playing at the corner of his mouth. “You look gorgeous.”“I know,” she replied, her lips curving as she stepped further into the room.“May I?” She pointed at the bottle of champagne.“Please.”She picked up the bottle, popped it open gently, and poured herself a glass. Then, taking a small sip, she looked back at him.“We left the sauna quite abruptly, don’t you think?”“Yeah.” He shifted slightly. “The alarm rang for

Chapter: CHAPTER 10.
Olivia shut the door behind her as she got into her apartment, tossed her keys onto the counter, and dropped her bag on the floor. Her heart was still beating really fast.She stared at her phone for a few seconds before typing.Olivia: You home?Dani: Yeah, what's up?Olivia didn’t even wait for the second message. She turned right back around, grabbed her keys, and got in the car. Ten minutes later, she was knocking on Daniella’s door.The second Dani opened, Olivia blurted out, “We kissed.”Daniella blinked. “Wait, what?!”“We kissed.”Daniella’s mouth fell open. “Theo kissed you?”Olivia nodded.“You kissed him back?”Another nod.“Come inside right now.”They rushed into the living room, Olivia practically bursting with words. She paced a little while Dani flopped onto the couch.“So… start from the beginning, tell me everything.” Daniella said, already grinning.“We went to a spa.”“You went to a spa?!”“It was his idea. He said I needed a break, so we went. I didn’t even think

Chapter: CHAPTER 9.
17 years ago….The sunlight streamed through the kitchen window, painting gold on the countertops and catching specks of flour that danced in the air. The radio played in the background.Taylor stood at the stove, flipping pancakes with one hand and cradling a cup of tea in the other. Her robe was barely tied, and her curls were frizzing wildly.“Baby,” Daniel called from the living room, “you put cinnamon in these, didn’t you? I can smell it.”She grinned without looking. “You got a nose like a hound.”“For cinnamon, I concur.”She heard him walk into the kitchen, barefoot and still shirtless, his arms coming around her waist from behind.“Careful,” she warned. “You might get splashed.”“With love?” he murmured on her neck.“Hot oil, idiot.”He laughed and kissed her cheek, then turned to sneak a pancake off the plate. She slapped his hand with the spatula.“Ow!”“Wait till Olivia’s up. These are for her.”As if on cue, the soft patter of little feet echoed down the hallway.“Mama?”
