Chapter: CHAINS OF GLASSCarson didn’t move away after his words. He lingered, his forehead almost touching hers, his breath steady while hers came in sharp, uneven pulls.“You hide your brother,” he murmured, his thumb dragging lazily across the curve of her jaw. “Why? What is he to you beyond blood?”Her throat tightened. She shook her head, but his hand slid lower, fingers curling gently around her neck, holding her in place without force. The gesture wasn’t choking yet it held power, making her pulse flutter wildly against his palm.“Carson…” Her voice was raw, pleading. “Don’t.”His eyes darkened, the storm gathering. “You think you can keep him untouched by this world. By me. But you’ve already led him into the lion’s den.”Her chest ached, panic and guilt flooding her veins. “He’s innocent. He doesn’t belong here.”Carson’s grip shifted, his hand sliding down to her collarbone, his fingertips brushing the neckline of her gown. The fabric whispered under his touch, and heat shivered through her despite

Chapter: VELVET LEASHESThe dress wasn’t hers. Nothing in this gilded life belonged to her.Justina stared at herself in the mirror, fingers trembling as she smoothed the silk over her hips. Deep crimson, cut low enough to tease, slit high enough to tempt. Carson had left it on her bed without a note, without explanation. As if her body were his to dress, his to display.Her pulse quickened. She should’ve refused. She should’ve burned it. But the moment she slid the fabric over her skin, she knew she’d lost that small rebellion.The knock came. Two sharp raps.“Open,” Carson’s voice commanded through the door.She swallowed and obeyed.He stood in a tuxedo that looked like it had been sewn onto his frame, black and severe, his tie perfectly knotted. But his eyes those storm-gray eyes darkened the instant they landed on her.“Good girl,” he murmured.Heat flared through her, infuriating and undeniable.Her chin lifted. “I didn’t wear it for you.”Carson’s mouth curved, slow and lethal. He stepped closer, his

Chapter: A GAME OF FIREThe contract hung in the air, invisible yet suffocating.Justina lay awake long after Carson had left her room the night before, staring at the ceiling, her skin still tingling where his hands had held her. Every word he’d spoken looped in her head his threats, his promises, his kiss that had tasted like both punishment and salvation.She told herself she hated him. And she did. But her body… her body was a traitor, already anticipating the next time he would touch her.By morning, she had decided on one thing, she would not let him see her break.The penthouse smelled of roasted coffee and something sweet when she entered the sunlit kitchen. The city stretched out beyond the glass walls, the light painting everything in gold. Nathaniel was at the counter, spooning cereal into his mouth, while Carson stood at the stove.Yes, Carson. Cooking.He turned a pancake with fluid precision, his sleeves rolled up, revealing the corded strength of his forearms. The billionaire CEO, the man who’

Chapter: TERMS OF SURRENDER The laughter outside the door faded, leaving Justina’s heart hammering in its wake. She had never felt so caught between worlds,the predator’s lair and the echo of a child’s innocence.Carson had told her to stay.So of course, she slipped to the door.Her palm pressed to the wood, every muscle in her body poised like a thief’s. The muffled voices came clearer now Carson’s low baritone and the boy’s higher, unguarded tone. There was no menace in it. Only warmth.“You’ll have schoolwork in the morning,” Carson said. His voice… softer, unarmored. She’d never heard him like that.“But you promised chess tonight,” the boy protested, laughing as though he wasn’t afraid of this man who terrified entire boardrooms.Chess. Promises. Laughter.The billionaire devil was raising a child like he was nothing more than a man.Justina pressed harder to the door, torn between disbelief and a pang she didn’t want to name.“Tomorrow,” Carson said firmly, though not unkindly. Then the sound of footsteps,

Chapter: THE BILLIONAIRE’S TRAPThe silk bonds remained.Hours had passed and she couldn’t tell how many but Carson hadn’t left her side. He sat in a leather armchair across from the bed now, his posture immaculate, one leg crossed over the other, a glass of amber liquid in his hand.He looked like a king surveying a captured queen.And Justina hated how regal he seemed, how untouchable. Every inch of him screamed command the precise cut of his navy suit, the way the city skyline bent around his silhouette, the steady calm in his eyes as though time bent to his will.Her wrists ached, her pride burned, but her voice was steady when she spoke. “So this is who you are. A man who ties women to his bed to feel powerful.”Carson swirled the liquid in his glass, the ice clinking. “Power isn’t something I feel, sweetheart. It’s something I am.”She laughed bitterly. “No. Power is an illusion. The right scandal, the right headline, and men like you fall like dominoes.”He tilted his head, studying her as if she were a chess

Chapter: SILKS AND SHADOWSThe first thing Justina Ashes noticed wasn’t the sheets or the view of the city, glittering like diamonds beneath the penthouse windows, it was the silk.Smooth, cold, and cutting gently into the delicate skin of her wrists where they were tied above her head. The headboard was carved from dark wood, polished to a gleam, and the ties looped tight enough to make her pulse thrum in her fingertips. She tested them once foolishly, instinctively and they only cinched tighter.Her breath caught. The second thing she noticed was him.Carson Wills.He sat across the room like a dark king at his throne, one ankle crossed over the other knee, a glass of whiskey turning lazy circles in his hand. His tailored shirt was unbuttoned at the throat, cuffs rolled back, exposing strong forearms marked by veins. His gaze was the most dangerous thing in the room piercing ice-blue eyes locked on her like she was prey, like he’d been waiting for this moment all his life.The billionaire. The ruthless CEO wh
