Chapter: 99: Torturing Mother and Daughter ITorturing Mother And Daughter I Barbara’s wrists were chaffed, and the rope biting into her skin where she was tightly secured to the bedpost. She thrashed around in a futile gesture once she opened her eyes, then paused when she saw Mellisa. Her stepmother lay on the adjacent bed, similarly bound, a similar strip of leather silencing her. Mellisa’s eyes which were usually so sharp and calculating now held a strange look, a mixture of fear and something else... something Barbara couldn’t quite decipher... A low moan escaped Mellisa’s gag which shocked Barbara. Barbara’s body trembled, not just from the cold seeping through the old cabin, but from the sudden, jarring reality of their situation. Dylan had been so quick and efficient. One moment, they were laughing over dinner, the next, the world shifted and she could only remember the sharp and sweet smell of the chloroform that had been placed over her nose, the dizziness she had felt, and now? She was waking up here... Tied like

Chapter: 98: Master's Slut IIMaster's Slut II “No,” he commanded, his voice a low growl. A fistful of my hair was suddenly in his grasp, pulling, pushing me back down to the floor. I landed hard on my knees. He yanked the leash again, and I had no choice but to scurry after him on all fours, a desperate, scrambling crawl, clinging to the last shreds of my pride. The carpet felt rough against my palms and my knees. When we reached the bedroom, he gave another sharp jerk, and I went sprawling forward, barreling onto the bed. “Hands and knees,” he barked. I scrambled, quickly assuming the position, my ass raised, my head bowed. A sharp crack, a searing pain, as his hand slapped hard against my ass. I jumped, a small gasp escaping my lips. “Spread your knees. If you close them at any point during punishment, we start over.” My knees parted, widening the gap, exposing myself further. I braced myself. The first lash fell, a vicious crack against my left butt cheek. I bit down hard on my lip, stifling the cry that

Chapter: 97: Master's Slut IMaster's Slut I I barely registered the sounds that came from the television, a distant drone beneath the insistent stroke of his fingers. Master lay behind me on the couch with his arms tightly wrapped around my waist, caging me as usual. My back pressed against his chest, the thin cotton of my t-shirt and panties doing little to buffer the heat of his skin. He twisted my nipple in a slow and deliberate motion, and my body responded with an involuntary tensing, a ripple that ran from my chest down to my toes. Every so often, his hand would slide lower, dipping beneath the elastic of my panties, his finger tracing a lazy, teasing path across my clit. It had been going on for what felt like an eternity, thirty minutes maybe, or a lifetime. The movie, whatever it was, had long since faded from my awareness. My world had shrunk to the rhythmic pressure... the subtle friction... the growing ache between my legs. He seemed so oblivious to what he was doing, so casual, as if his acti

Chapter: 96: Fucking An Employee IIFucking An Employee II“Look at this, Talia,” he commanded, his voice rough. “This is for you. All for you.” He pressed, slowly, his head of his cock pushing past my wet folds, stretching me open. I cried out again in a mix of pain and pleasure.“Take it, Don,” I pleaded, my hips bucking against him. “Take me.”He plunged, a single, powerful thrust that buried him to the hilt inside me. My body convulsed around him, a tight, wet sheath. The air rushed out of my lungs in a gasp. My nails dug into his back, drawing blood, but I didn’t care. He was inside me, filling me, stretching me to my limit.He began to move, a slow, deliberate rhythm, pulling almost entirely out, then driving back in, each thrust deeper than the last. The desk dug into my ass, but I barely registered it. All I felt was him, inside me, hot and hard and filling every inch.“Oh, God,” I moaned, my voice thick with pleasure. “Yes. That’s it. Harder.”He obeyed, his thrusts growing more frantic. His balls slapped

Chapter: 95: Fucking an Employee IFucking An Employee IThe bottle of alcohol sat half-empty on my wide desk. My head throbbed in a dull, insistent drumbeat behind my eyes. The chill of the air conditioning felt like a blessing and a curse at the same time, raising goosebumps on my arms while doing little to cut through my haze. I stared at the blinking cursor on my monitor, the quarterly report mocking me with its blankness. This was not how I pictured my Friday night. This was not how I pictured any night.“Talia? Everything alright in here? The lights are still on.” Don’s voice, a low rumble, cut through the quiet. I hadn’t heard him approach.I flinched, spilling a little of my drink. “Don? What are you still doing here?” My voice sounded thick, slurring slightly. I tried to sit up straighter, but the room decided to tilt.He stepped fully into the office, his shadow falling over my desk. He was a big man, broad shoulders filling the doorway, a solid presence. He usually kept his distance, respectful, almost defer

There was no turning back now...Rylan stood over me, his shadow falling across my face, obscuring the ceiling. The other two men, Jon and a face I still couldn't quite place, watched from the foot of the bed. A tremor ran through me, a mix of fear and something else, something I refused to name.“You ready for this, Connie?” Rylan’s voice, a low rumble, cut through the quiet. His eyes, dark and intense, held mine as if he was challenging me.I swallowed, my throat suddenly dry. “Just… get it over with.” My voice came out a whisper, barely audible. They were here to get their own pound of flesh after what happened today, but why did I feel so... eager?Rylan’s lips curved into a slow, predatory smile. “It’s going to be rough and fast, little girl. Won’t hurt as much if you just relax.” He moved between my spread thighs, his large fr

Chapter: 151IT was Gaddiel’s idea, which meant it didn't come as a subtle suggestion they had agreed on. He announced it at breakfast on a Saturday, three weeks after the hospital. “We should go somewhere,” he spoke up immediately. “All of us. Like a trip?" Amelia looked up from her food and stared at her son. “Where did you have in mind?” “The nature park.” He said it like it was obvious. “With the birds and the walking trails and the place where we had the picnic that one time.” “The one where you dropped your sandwich and blamed Gabriel?” Amelia asked with a small smile tugging at her lips. “I didn’t blame him,” Gaddiel said. “I just said he was nearby.” “I was in the car,” Gabriel corrected his twin. “You were near... by the car.” Gaddiel didn’t even pause. Amelia looked between them, her suspicious heckles rising. “Who else is coming on this trip?” “You,” Gaddiel said. “Me. Gabriel. Hazel.” He paused and lowered his voice. “And Dad.” She put her cup down. This was the fifth time thi

Chapter: 150THE days after were the slow kind. Amelia was in her office when Ryan knocked and leaned against the doorframe the way he always did when he was about to say something she didn’t want to hear.“You need to take the week off,” he said worriedly, his brows drawing together.She didn’t look up from the file she was reviewing. “I’m fine, Ryan. I've already told you that.”“That’s what you always say.” Ryan pointed out.“Because it’s always true.”Ryan came in and sat down across from her. He didn’t say anything else. He just sat there with his arms crossed, watching her with the careful attention of someone who had known her long enough to know exactly how stubborn she could be.She made it three more minutes before she looked up. “What do you want? Why are you still here, Ryan? I'm trying to work!”“Work? You haven't been productive ever since you came to work, and you know it. I'm sorry, I know I may be pushing my boundaries right now, but you need to take some time off from work so you

Chapter: 149THE corridor of the hospital was cold, with pale blue colours that just made Amelia's depression worse. It smelled offensive in the antiseptic kind of way. T strip lights made everything look slightly unreal. Amelia sat in a plastic chair with her back straight and her hands in her lap and her eyes fixed on the set of double doors at the end of the corridor, which had not opened in forty-seven minutes.She was still in the clothes she had been wearing on Chambers Street. She had not looked at them directly. She understood, from the way the paramedic had handed her a small sealed bag of something at the scene, that this was a practical consideration she would have to attend to at some point. She tucked it away, not caring to check what it was.Ryan arrived first, having apparently been called by someone whose identity she would ask about later. He sat beside her and did not immediately speak, which was one of the things she had always valued most about him. He was simply there, which w

Chapter: 148THEY were on Chambers Street when it happened.It was a Saturday afternoon and they had come back to the gallery district because Ifeanyi had been told by a colleague about a bookshop two doors down from the gallery that specialized in architectural texts, and he wanted to find a specific out-of-print title. Then, Amelia had said she would come because she needed a Saturday that did not involve spreadsheets and the bookshop was supposedly excellent.It was excellent. She spent forty minutes in it and left with three books she hadn't planned to buy, which she considered a mark of quality.They were walking back toward the car park on the broad tree-lined pavement, Amelia with her books under one arm and Ifeanyi explaining something about the relationship between post-war housing design and community deterioration, which she was genuinely following despite everything, when she saw him.It was the rigid pose that caught her attention first... the way he was standing on the opposite pavem

Chapter: 147FRIDAY was unremarkable. That was the thing Amelia would think about afterward. Of how completely ordinary it had been.She had woken at six-fifteen, made breakfast for the boys, sent Hazel off with her project materials, sat through a morning of back-to-back calls about the resort expansion, eaten lunch at her desk, and left the office at four-thirty because Ryan had told her she was starting to look like someone who lived there, and that was not a compliment.Ifeanyi had texted her at noon: *Free tonight? There is an architecture exhibit at the gallery on Chambers Street. Opens at six. Come with me, it will be good.*She had replied: *I have to sort the boys first. Seven-thirty?**Seven-thirty works.*She went home, fed the boys, helped Gabriel with a particularly contentious maths problem that turned out, once they worked through it, to be less contentious than he had believed, and read with Gaddiel for twenty minutes before Hazel came to take over the bedtime routine."You are goi

Chapter: 146CHARLES had stopped answering the door which was a knew thing to his friends that new him very well. Charles had always been a man who moved towards people and always made himself the center of attraction in whatever room he entered because he understood instinctively that presence was money, and he had spent his whole life cashing it. But right now, he drowned in self hatred. With all the money he had made, he never thought of getting his own place, instead of crashing at his friend's. Who knew this would happen.Charles phone rang on the nightstand and he went to switch it off as usual, until he saw the caller ID and his hands hovered around the phone for a few seconds. He debated on picking the call from his estranged brother, but later agreed."What are you calling me for? To mock?" Charles voice was harsh. He had not spoken to his brother in years, and the only time he deemed it necessary to call was when he had been publicly humiliated."Not quite." His brother's voice was low.

You Broke My Heart, Now Watch Me Rise
ELENA Brooks has spent her life holding her fragile family together, working tirelessly as a junior clerk at Lunaris Tech Innovations while her abusive, cheating husband, Marcus, drifts further into alcohol and recklessness. For seven years, she endured, hoping her sacrifices would keep her son safe and her family intact.
But one careless night shatters the illusion of peace. When she catches Marcus with someone she once trusted, Elena realizes the life she has been clinging to is built on lies. Determined to reclaim her strength and her dignity, she walks away, filing for divorce and taking custody of her son.
Enter Eamon, the enigmatic and dangerously alluring CEO of Lunaris Tech. A man shrouded in mystery, whose presence is as commanding as it is intoxicating. The day Elena accidentally witnesses a moment she can’t explain, she realizes there is far more to him than the world sees.
As Elena rebuilds herself, she discovers a strength she never knew existed. With Eamon by her side, she begins to rise— not just from betrayal, but toward a life of power, courage, and something far more unexpected: love.
But revenge is a fire that cannot be contained. And when past betrayals collide with dangerous secrets, Elena will find herself walking a path she never imagined— where her heart, her son, and her very life are all on the line.
Will rising from the ashes be enough, or will the shadows of the past consume her before she can truly claim her freedom?

Chapter: 97: The Back DoorThe Back DoorTHE Finchley wing was quieter than Elena's old office. She had not expected that. She had expected it to feel like a demotion rendered in architecture, smaller, dimmer, further from everything that mattered. Instead it was a decent-sized room with one good window that faced east, which meant morning light, and walls that were far enough from any open plan area that the background noise of other people working was reduced to a pleasant hum rather than an intrusion.She unpacked immediately and placed her things to decorate her new office. Plant on the windowsill. Documents in the drawer. Laptop open and logged in. The signed copy of Kemi's petition confirmation on the left side of the desk where she put things she needed to see.Michelle had deposited her here with the efficiency of someone completing a task and had left without ceremony.

Chapter: 96: The MoveThe MoveTHIS was the second time this week that this was happening. Elena getting shut out from Eamon's office when Michelle butted in. This time, she could barely hold the feeling that was curling up in her chest. Bright and hot jealousy, especially with how short Michelle had worn her dress today. Elena walked down the corridor away from Eamon's office and told herself she was not thinking about what was happening inside it.But she was thinking about it...She took the elevator to her floor and sat at her desk and opened her laptop and stared at the screen for some seconds before closing it again. The image of Michelle leaning across the conference table, the practiced warmth of her body language, the way she had looked at Eamon with the particular attention of a woman who had decided something and was in the process of executing it, was sitting in Elena's chest in a way that she could not fully comprehend, but she knew it.Jealousy.She admitted that it was present, inconvenient,

Michelle followed his movement with her eyes while Elena stood where she was, which happened to be in the general vicinity of the door, which Michelle had closed behind her without asking."I wanted to update you personally on the press situation this morning," Michelle said, directing herself entirely toward Eamon. "I have been liaising with the communications team since seven and I think we have effectively contained the narrative.""I appreciate that," Eamon said. He sat behind his desk. "What approach did communications take?""We released a brief statement clarifying that Ms. Brooks's appointment was based entirely on documented merit and predated any personal relationship," Michelle said smoothly.

Chapter: 94: MichelleMichelleTHE presentation went well.Elena delivered it with the focused clarity of someone who had been preparing it for weeks and had refused to let a morning of press vans and uninvited office visitors reduce it to something smaller than it was. The senior stakeholders in the room were attentive. Two of them asked follow-up questions that indicated genuine engagement. One of them, a woman in her sixties who Elena had seen at board-adjacent events but never spoken to directly, caught her eye at the end and nodded once like she was satisfied with the presentation.Elena walked back to her office, sat down, and allowed herself thirty seconds of feeling good about it. Then she opened the access log again. The name was still there.There were seven visits to her file with no comments and no changes. The person was just reading through.She thought about what someone would do with that kind of reading. If you wanted to undermine a presentation rather than steal it, you would not copy it.

She pulled up to Evan's school with four minutes to spare, which was not ideal but was survivable, and Evan had his bag on his lap and his serious face on, which he wore on days when he had decided that efficiency was the priority."Do you have your lunch," she asked him as she shuffled around for his bag."Yes.""And your reading book?""Yes.""And you remembered that Samuel's mum is picking you up today because I have—""The big presentation thing, yes."

Chapter: 92: The Morning AfterThe Morning AfterELENA became aware of three things in quick succession. The first was that she was warm in a way that had nothing to do with blankets. The second was that her left arm was pinned beneath approximately six feet of a sleeping billionaire and had been for some time. The third was that the light coming through the curtains showed that the morning was past early, but not yet late and she was going to be late for work.She tried to extract her arm carefully but it didn't budge."You are awake," Eamon groaned softly, without opening his eyes."My arm is asleep," she said gently, still trying."Your arm can sleep a little longer.""Eamon I have work."He opened one eye. "You were in the hospital eleven days ago.""And now I am not," she said. "I have a presentation at nine and a department meeting at eleven and I am already—" She checked the clock and gasped.
