Moans echoed back and forth inside one of the rooms of a five star hotel in Stockholm, Sweden. The young woman could not hold herself back from crying out as a tall, powerfully built man above her moved relentlessly, his muscular body driving into hers.
Their bodies were slick with sweat, the act of two people joining fueled by raw desire.
“Damn it, you’re so tight and incredible, Lexi. You always satisfy me, you always bring me perfectly to my climax,” Austin said, struggling to catch his breath after release.
Alexi turned onto her side, her hand tracing every inch of Austin Stanley’s damp skin, the man who had just made love to her. “You know this is wrong, don’t you, Austin? What we have isn’t right. Why do you trap me in a labyrinth that makes me lose my way?”
“If you’re lost, call only me. I’m the only one you should ever call, Alexi Mauren. Only me, Austin Stanley, can guide you. Do you understand?” Austin leaned in, capturing her thin lips. “Listen to me. As long as I’m by your side, I’ll make sure your world stays safe.”
Alexi wavered. Being entangled in a forbidden relationship with someone she should never have had was something that could never truly last. What if the world discovered their illicit affair? Would it still show her kindness? Or would the world turn its back on her completely?

Chapter: The Complicated Relationship Exists“You’re thinking too much, Lexi.” Camella held her daughter by both shoulders. “We love each other. Darwis just wants to protect us in his own way. Isn’t he better than your father? You haven’t forgotten how your biological father treated us, have you? At least Darwis was never violent with us, never tried to sell you to a brothel.”“Don’t think so narrowly. You’re the one who needs to open your mind and heart to accept this new family.” Camella stroked her daughter’s face, now fully grown. “Do you know how shattered my heart was seeing you like that? Hurt, Lex. I gave birth to you. I’ve been through what you’re going through now. I swear on anything, I will never forgive the man who did this to you.”Camella pulled her daughter into an embrace. “We are safe here. We have protection in this place, Alexi.”Alexi fell silent. She was still not fully satisfied with her mother’s answer, but she tried to understand. Everything Camella said was true. Since her teenage years, her biological

Chapter: Life Inside a Gilded CageThe sharp scent of disinfectant seeped into Alexi’s senses. Her eyes fluttered, then slowly opened. Dimly, she saw a white ceiling overhead. When she shifted her gaze, an IV line hung beside the bed, its tube leading into her hand.“I’m still alive.”“Lexi.”That gentle voice reached her ears. Moments later, a woman with brown hair appeared in front of her.“Mom.”“Oh God. You’re awake. Wait, let me call the doctor.” Camella hurried out of the cubicle to inform the medical staff that her daughter had regained consciousness.Footsteps approached the bed as Alexi gathered the fragments of what had led her here. Her head felt heavy, her entire body ached.Sure enough, the doctor and nurses surrounded her to examine her condition. Alexi remained silent, the throbbing in her head refusing to ease.“What is your name, Miss?” the doctor asked.“Alexi Mauren, twenty-four. Want to ask my blood type too while you’re at it?” Alexi rolled her eyes upward. Her head was pounding, and being asked tr

Chapter: Arron's Other Side“My head hurts so badly.” Alexi groaned as she opened her eyes. The pounding in her head grew stronger. Nausea rose, but she did not have the strength to fully wake herself. In the end, she closed her eyes again. “Damn it. My head feels so heavy.” It came out as a faint murmur.“You’re awake?”That baritone voice froze Alexi in place. Why was there a man’s voice? Where was she?Her eyes flew open. She saw a man sitting on the edge of the bed, shirtless. “Who are you?” She yanked the blanket up to cover her body, the cold air from the room’s air conditioner biting into her skin.She scanned the room, breathing in the scent of air freshener. This was not her room. “Where am I?”Austin raised an eyebrow. “So you don’t remember what happened last night?”“Last night?” Alexi growled. She lifted the edge of the blanket, her eyes widening again as her body went still when she realized she was completely naked. “Damn it, I’ve lost my mind.” The weight of her fatal mistake crashed down on her.

Chapter: An Unforgettable NightChapter 2 An Unforgettable Night“Give me a Scotch whisky!” Going to 69’s Club was Alexi’s choice after leaving Arron’s office, a place that had left her nauseous and dizzy.“Your order, Miss.” A bartender slid over what she had ordered, a large glass filled with crystal-clear ice and a strong alcoholic mix.Alexi gulped down the golden liquid as it burned its way down her throat. She set the glass aside with only a small amount left, ice cubes clinking inside. “This is completely fucked up. Would men die if they stayed faithful?” she muttered to herself.The DJ’s music thundered through the club, deafening, the dance floor roaring with people swaying lightly, carefree and unburdened.She tried to close her eyes, to erase the memory of a few hours earlier in Arron’s office. But the image of that couple seized her mind. “Damn it,” she cursed, failing to chase it away.Her head lowered, blondish-brown hair falling over her made-up face. Her red dress stood in sharp contrast to her pale,

Chapter: Witness to the Betrayal“I’m busy, Lex. I have to take care of the documents for tomorrow morning’s meeting.”“But it’s already late. Doesn’t your body need rest?” Alexi’s hand traced the firm chest of her lover. “I need you too, Arron,” she whined as she sat on his lap, leaning in to kiss his lips.Arron cupped the back of her neck, savoring the intimate kiss. Their closeness grew more intense on the sofa, his hand roaming over Alexi’s smooth back, the beautiful, sexy woman who had been by his side for a year. “Enough. Let me finish this first. Go to sleep, I’ll join you later.”Disappointment crossed Alexi’s face as Arron paused their intimacy, her eyes heavy, caught between anger and hurt. “All right. Don’t take too long, darling. I want you,” she whispered as she slid off his lap.“I want you too. Wait for me.” Arron desperately wanted to spend the night with her, but he could not delay the mountain of work. He let Alexi go to her room.Inside the bedroom, Alexi stood on the balcony wearing a thin, short
