The Night Before I Knew Him
I let a stranger destroy me in a hotel room.
Two days later, I walked into my internship and found him sitting behind the CEO's desk.
Now I fetch coffee for the man who made me moan, and he acts like I’m the one who crossed a line.
***
It started with a dare. It ended with the one man she should never want.

She thought she’d never see him again.
Until she walks into her first day at work—
And finds out he’s her new boss.
The CEO.
Now June has to work under the man she shared one reckless night with. Hermes Grande is powerful, cold, and completely off-limits. But the tension between them won’t go away.
The closer they get, the harder it becomes to keep her heart and their secrets safe.

Chapter: Take me with you♡ Leila ♡“Are you going to keep holding that gun like that?”Cain’s voice drifts lazily behind me as he peels open another candy wrapper.I glance over my shoulder, biting my lip in frustration.It’s been days.Days since I started training so I could defend myself and my unborn child.Days of pretending I’m ready to pull the trigger on the bastard who murdered Tobias.In my head, I’m fearless.In reality? My hands still shake.I can’t even pull the trigger on paper targets, no matter how hard I imagine it’s him standing there.Hell, I can’t even hold the damn gun right.Cain refuses to load it anymore ever since that one time I almost shot him by mistake.He tried giving me a toy gun after that. I almost threw it at his head.So now we’ve settled for an empty barrel.“I’m trying here, Cain,” I mutter, teeth clenched. “This wasn’t my life, remember?”He steps closer, unbothered.Annoying as always.And yet… we’ve somehow learned to tolerate each other.Mostly because we share a sacre

Chapter: Pull your shirt♡Leila♡My eyes flutter open slowly as the door creaks.I mumble something incoherent, my head heavy, hearing footsteps approach.“Ma’am.”Mia’s voice comes softly at my side.I turn my face the other way, still dizzy, and then—“Tobias…” I whisper weakly as a familiar face leans closer.Then my eyes drift downward.The tattoos.It isn’t Tobias.It’s Cain.“Cain…” I correct quickly, turning my face away again.“Mia, leave us,” Cain’s voice comes out rough behind me.“But Master—” Mia tries politely, but he cuts her off.“Go. Prepare a bath for her.”Mia bows and leaves.The door shuts.I stay facing the wall, refusing to turn back.What was I even supposed to say to him? I literally stabbed him… and then fainted at the sight of blood. But it was his fault. It was literally—“Tobias, right?” Cain says after a moment. “You still miss him. No wonder you almost killed me back in that room.”I turn sharply.“I didn’t try to kill you. It was a mistake.”He laughs lightly, and I catch the di

Chapter: The UrgeCain’s POV. "Get out of the way!" I didn’t shout it.I barked it.The door burst open under my shoulder and every man outside the common room moved on instinct alone as I stormed through with Leila in my arms.She was too light.Her head lolled against my chest, her hair brushing my jaw, and for the second time in months, something cold and unfamiliar twisted in my gut.Fuck.Mia rushed after me, pale, trembling.“Master—should I call 911?”“No.”One word. Final.I didn’t slow my stride. I turned my head sharply to Pedro behind me.“Call Freddie.”Pedro hesitated. “Freddie? Boss—he’s about to go to—he’s on—”I stopped walking.Slowly, I turned.“I don’t fucking care,” I said quietly. “Call him. Now. I’ll handle things till he comes. He should be fast.”Pedro swallowed and nodded immediately.I moved again, straight to my quarters. My room. Mia rushed ahead to open the door before I reached it.Inside, I laid Leila on the bed.Carefully.Too carefully for a man like me.Only then did

Chapter: I was a maniacCain’s POVHer slap was still burning on my cheek.Not physically, but emotionally.It felt like a warning shot straight to my soul.Like she’d been sent to caution me for daring to jinx my own twin’s fate— for lying to her, for dragging her into my world, and pretending that I had any real control over what was unfolding.Her bravery was insane.She slapped me in front of my men. My soldiers.My crew.Even, in front of the housekeeper.No one had touched me like that in years and lived to breathe about it, and instead of snapping her neck.Instead of lashing out and asserting my authority as the kingpin of this city…I felt something else. Something far more dangerous.I was amused. And aroused.Wrong fucking time.What the fuck was wrong with me?I shouldn’t be aroused.That was twisted. That was wrong.It was crossing a line I didn’t even know I was standing near, but my body didn’t care about logic.My eyes betrayed me.They dropped to her chest while she was furious, trembling, l

Chapter: You're aroused♡Leila♡My heart tried to leap straight out of my chest as the silence dragged on for what felt like dreadful minutes.I didn’t dare turn around.I didn’t dare move.I didn’t even dare breathe properly.The tension in the room was nerve-wracking, thick enough to choke on.Cain still hadn’t moved his head.His face was frozen in the position my hand had left it in.Then I realized his eyes were shut.That terrified me more than if he’d been screaming.It was as if he was standing there, calmly deciding what he was going to do to me.My breath hitched painfully in my throat.A hiccup escaped my lips before I could stop it.What have I done?The thought spread through me like wildfire, hot and merciless.Suddenly, a hiss came from behind me.It sounded like the same man who had just released my wrist.“How dare—” he growled, his hand reaching out toward mine.“DON’T.”Cain’s voice cracked through the room like a gunshot.His hand lifted slowly into the air.“TOUCH HER.”Another hiccup to

Chapter: How dare you?♡Leila♡My fingers traced the cold marble walls as I walked slowly down the hallway, my eyes lifting to take in the towering paintings and gold-rimmed decorations.This place was insane.After eating, I’d planned to go look for Cain and demand answers. Actual answers. The kind he kept dodging like a professional liar. But the moment I stepped out of the bedroom, I got distracted by how unreal everything looked.The ceiling alone could’ve housed my entire apartment.If June were here, she’d be losing her mind. She had a thing for home décor. Would’ve taken a hundred pictures already, zooming in on every vase and chandelier.Thinking about June made my chest tighten.After the call with Lia—after lying through my teeth that I was fine and that I’d be back soon—I’d texted June that I went on a little vacation.A vacation.The word almost made me laugh.More like I’d been kidnapped into the unknown. Dropped into a world I didn’t understand… a world I now, disturbingly enough, wanted to un

Revenge Wife: Hubby, I Know Your Secret
"I can't fall in love with you, Lucas," I whisper, my hands sliding down to the ache pressing against his grey sweatpants.
His breath catches, lips parting, veins rising along his forearms as he responds to my touch.
"Why? Is it because of your husband?" His voice is husky, hands pinning mine to his straining cock "Come with me, Eleanor. I’ll treat you better than he ever did."
My chest heaves as we hold each other’s gaze. I swallow hard, my mind racing.
Should I abandon my revenge and go with the man I shared a night of reckless passion with?

Chapter: T-shirt Thief Lucas's POVThe sound of the door clicking shut dragged me out of bed.Finally. That took her long enough.I’d been awake for at least twenty minutes, staring at the window and wondering why the hell the rent girl was still here. Usually, they were gone before I even opened my eyes — quiet, discreet, professional. This one? Not so much.I thought about shaking her awake, telling her to get dressed and get out, but… I didn’t.Something about her face stopped me.Weird. I never lingered or cared.With a groan, I sat up and rolled my shoulders, the stiffness cracking through my neck. I turned, scanning the bedstand for the envelope I’d set aside last night — crisp cash, no strings, the usual. It was still there untouched."She didn’t take the money?" I muttered, rubbing a hand over my jaw. "What kind of rent girl forgets her damn paycheck?"I sighed again, rolling my eyes to the ceiling. "Great. Maybe she wants a reason to come back. Not happening."Grabbing my phone, I hit the call butt

Chapter: I'll make them pay slowly Eleanor's POVMy nose twitched at the strange scent of… lavender? No—something musky.When I opened my eyes, my panties were resting right on my face.I groaned, swiping them away as I push myself upright, my arms stretching over my head. My skull throbbed like it’s been used as a drum in some wild ritual. I squinted toward the nightstand, searching for my phone.God, I feel wrecked. My tongue's dry, my head’s heavy, and my soul feels… bruised.Then it hits me—why I drank in the first place.James. Rachel. Sophie.My husband. My best friend. My daughter.The knife twisted again, clean and cruel.I pressed my palms to my face, trying to block the wave, to stop myself from crying again. I can’t—not now.But then— I heard movement. I froze, slowly lower my hands, and there I see someone beside me. A broad, muscled back, tanned skin. A tattoo trailing from his shoulder down to his ribs.The sheets barely cover his hips, his breathing deep and even.My throat went dry. My lips parted but

Chapter: What's your safe word?Eleanor's POVThe music pounded through the walls like thunder. The bass, the lights, the smell of smoke and perfume — all scream loud but not louder than my thoughts. it wasn’t supposed to be here. I wasn’t supposed to be this."Hey, beautiful, dance with me," a voice slurred near my ear.I turned, sharp, gripping the man’s wrist before I even realized what I was doing. His smirk faltered. "Let go," he hissed."Don’t you ever touch me," I said, squeezing harder. My voice shook, not from fear — from fury. Every cell in my body burned with it. I wanted to hurt someone. I wanted someone to feel what I was feeling.Hands grabbed me from behind. Two, maybe three. The man stumbled back, cursing, as security rushed in."Ma’am, you need to calm down.""Take your hands off me!" I yelled, jerking free, my voice breaking. But they didn’t listen. They never do.They dragged me out through the back door, where the sound of the club fell away into the cold Las Vegas night.The door slammed shut. S

Chapter: Surprise Eleanor’s POV "I'll kill you!""How dare you fuck my sister hours after putting a ring on my finger!" "Because I love Janet, not you, Jane! I only did that to get your inheritance!"......"Mrs. Harper, Ma'am…" The telenovela dialogue blared through my earbuds, my favorite moment interrupted by a familiar, cautious voice.I yanked out my earbuds and squinted at the limousine window. Gabriel, my driver, hovered politely at the door, his posture perfect, his expression careful."Yes, Gabriel. What is it?" I said, annoyed that my drama-filled escape had been interrupted."We've arrived, ma'am" he said softly."Oh," a soft sigh left my lips, realizing, just then, my phone rang. I glanced at my phone and saw Sophia’s name lighting up the screen. A small, sheepish smile tugged at my lips — I had tricked everyone into thinking I wouldn’t make it to the city for Rachel’s birthday, happening in just a few hours. Somehow, I knew this call was coming."Hello, sweetheart," I said as I swi
