Heir Of Deception
“Do those boyfriends of yours ever touch you like this?”
I tried to answer, but he flicked my earlobe with his tongue, and my words dissolved into a whimper. He slid his fingers lower, circling me without release, trapping me at the brink.
He pinned my wrists overhead, crushing any thought of resistance. I arched for friction; he pressed me flat with a quiet command that made me feel completely his.
Pulling back, he met my eyes, dark satisfaction gleaming there.
“You’re so wet,” He whispered. “Such a dirty little girl.”
Shame and want tangled in me as he tilted my face up.
“Please…” I gasped.
He bared his teeth and asked, “You want to come so badly, don’t you?”
I nodded, voiceless.
He grazed me once more and then withdrew.
“But you’ve been a bad girl,” he said, tracing my thigh with a cool fingertip. “And bad girls don’t get to come.”

Chapter: Door 345“I want to work in your company. I’m fine with any role as long as I get to work in your company.”“No,” Lucien said immediately.“Why not?” Asher leaned back in his chair. “Scared I’ll steal your girl?”Jordan rubbed his nose.“What the hell, man?”He muttered something under his breath, but the horrible man still wore the same bored expression.“Why should I hire you?” I asked.Asher shrugged.“I’ll be working for you while helping you find your blackmailer anyway. All I’m asking for is an office and unrestricted access to your company for two months. I find your blackmailer and then I leave.”“How can I be sure you'll actually find them?”“You can't.”The answer startled me.“You just have to take a leap of faith.” His brown eyes locked onto mine. “Or you'll never know.”“Are you seriously considering this, Aria?” Lucien asked.I looked between the two men and sighed in defeat. “Do I have any better options?”Lucien's jaw tightened. “No.”“Then we try his way.”Asher grinned. “Sm

Chapter: A Dangerous AllyThe message stared back at me, knocking the air from my lungs. A cold sensation crept down my spine as I scanned the empty hallway. Empty. No doors closing. No footsteps. It was as if I had imagined the whole scenario.I swallowed hard and shoved my phone back into my purse before returning to the table. I was met with two pairs of worried eyes.“Are you sure you’re okay?” Mike asked, studying me carefully.“I’m fine.” I forced a smile, “I thought I saw someone I knew.” I lied through my teeth.Cami didn’t look convinced, but she didn’t press further. Thank goodness. I might just crumble if they keep throwing questions at me.The rest of the lunch passed in a blur. Mike eased the tension with his dramatic tales about his forced proximity with his ‘enemy’—Cami, of course.I laughed at their never-ending banter, or at least tried to, but my mind remained trapped on the message. Whover that was, they had been watching me, and they seemed determined to destroy my life.After lunch, Stella

Chapter: Watchful Eyes“Surprise bitch!”I screamed and the next thing I knew, someone launched himself across the room and nearly tackled me.“Mike!”“Oh my God, you are married!”“I know”“You got married without me!”“You were in Greece!”“You could have waited!”I started laughing, so hard my stomach started hurting.Mike pulled back dramatically. He looked exactly the same, dark curls, suit that looked like it could buy my whole wardrobe, perfectly polished shoes and that impeccable smile. Mike was ridiculously handsome and painfully aware of it. He carried himself with the confidence of a runway king and trust me, his wardrobe was large enough to dress an entire fashion show.I met Mike in college. I had worn the shoe my Dad gifted me for my eighteenth birthday and the dress Victor gifted me to celebrate my first day. Mike had walked up to me wearing the chicest outfit I’d ever seen, he lowered his sunglasses, looked me up and down, then announced, “Bitch, now that’s a fire dress and shoes you got th

Chapter: Emotional BusinessFor a moment, I stared at the message, thinking if I stared enough, it would somehow disappear. The phone vibrated again. UNKNOWN: Are you sure you want to ignore me? I swallowed hard. I had thought their silence meant they had given up. That maybe whoever was behind this had gotten bored and moved on to torment someone else. Apparently not. My fingers hovered over the keyboard, too frozen to type anything. Another message arrived, this time, it was a picture. No, two pictures. The first showed me walking down a runway during a fashion show in Milan last year. The second was of me leaving Valen Group headquarters earlier this week. A cold chill ran down my spine. Someone had been watching me, and if I'm judging by these pictures, they've been doing so for a while now. The phone lit up again. UNKNOWN: What do you think the board would do when they find out that the infamous model known for her scandal with men is none other than their precious heiress? My gri

Chapter: Dangerous AttractionI turned slowly and smiled awkwardly at him.Lucien stood in the doorway in all his 6’4 glory, his jacket hanging over one arm, his hair as impeccable as always, and his eyes fixed entirely on me. We were both staring at each other, neither of us speaking and suddenly the room felt smaller, hotter. I need to get the hell out of here, this man is dangerous. “Hello, Mr Blackwood.”“Mr Blackwood? Really?” He asked raising a brow.I shrugged and said, “I was looking for the study.”He raised an eyebrow, “And somehow ended up in my office?”“Why is your house so big? I’m always getting lost somehow.”One corner of his mouth lifted, glad one of us found this situation amusing. “We need to talk, Aria.”“Stop saying my name like that.” I snapped at him.“Like what?” He asked, smirking. “You know what.” I countered getting frustrated. He chuckled and shook his head. He walked towards me while I took a step back. This continued until I reached the wall, he was so close to me that I coul

Chapter: The Wrong DoorI can’t believe the same man who took me over and over again is my father-in-law.“Hello, Aria” He said, drawling out my name. The way he said my name made me shiver, taking me right back to that night.“Are you okay?” Micah’s voice suddenly brought me out of my delirium, his hands circling my shoulder and my face flared up immediately. Damn this man for having such a hold on me. And damn me for thinking about him right in front of my husband. I shook my head and whispered to him to take me home. I’ll be moving into the Blackwood mansion following the conversation I had with Micah earlier, if only I knew who his father was before agreeing to move in with him; now I’m dreading going to that mansion. Micah told his Dad that we would be heading home first and started escorting me out. I looked back and saw Victor talking to him and he was staring right back at me, that ridiculous smirk still plastered on his lips.The ride to the Blackwood mansion was quiet and the tension was so
