Claimed by the rival CEO
Camila Stones has spent her entire life trying to earn the love of the powerful family that adopted her. Beautiful, talented, and devoted to the family business, she believes her upcoming marriage to billionaire heir Alex Laurent will finally secure her place in the world.
She couldn’t be more wrong.
On the night of their lavish yacht engagement party, Camila walks in on Alex tangled in the arms of the one person she trusted most—her sister, Vivian. Humiliated before the city’s elite and abandoned by the family that should have defended her, Camila walks away from everything she has ever known.
But fate has other plans.
In her darkest moment, she finds unexpected comfort in the arms of Aaron Vale, the ruthless billionaire CEO whose name strikes fear throughout the business world. Their encounter is supposed to be a one-time mistake, a night of passion born from heartbreak.
Instead, it becomes the beginning of something neither of them can control.
When Camila accepts a position at Vale Corporation, she discovers that Aaron is not only her new boss but also the man she can’t forget. As desire ignites between them, secrets from the past begin to surface, exposing dangerous betrayals, corporate conspiracies, and a shocking truth about Camila’s identity that could destroy everything.
With jealous enemies plotting her downfall, a family built on lies, and a billionaire determined to claim her heart, Camila must decide whether to keep running from love or risk everything for the one man willing to burn the world for her.
In a world of wealth, power, betrayal, and irresistible temptation, can love survive the truth?

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE: God, he’s so big.Camilla’s POV His words wrapped around me like a dark promise. Let me make you forget.I answered him with another kiss, desperate and unfiltered, savoring the way his mouth claimed mine. My fingers dug into his shoulders as his hand roamed down my side, gripping my hip through the bunched satin. Heat pooled low in my belly, spreading like wildfire.I should stop. The thought flickered through my mind. I wasn’t the type of woman who threw her at a stranger in her yacht suite while her engagement ring was still on her finger. But I was so damn tired of being the woman everyone expected me to be—the perfect daughter, the graceful fiancée, the safe.Tonight, I didn’t want to be her anymore.He kissed me deeper, his tongue stroking mine in a rhythm that made my toes curl. His hand slid up my thigh, pushing the dress higher until the cool air met my skin. When his fingers brushed the edge of my lace panties, I gasped into his mouth. He didn’t rush. He teased, tracing the fabric with l

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR: Let me make you forget.Aaron’s POV“Tell me to leave,” I said, my voice lower and rougher than I intended.Camila’s breath hitched. Her dark eyes were wide, still glistening with the tears she’d shed on the upper deck, but something else had overtaken the pain. She didn’t push me away. Instead, her fingers curled tighter into my jacket, silently pulling me closer.That was all the permission I needed.I crashed my mouth down on hers, hard and demanding, backing her against the suite door. The hallway was quiet, the chaos from the main deck a distant hum. She tasted like whiskey and salt from her tears, and beneath that, something sweet and addictive. My hand gripped her waist, sliding down to her hip as I pressed my body into hers.What the hell are you doing, Aaron? I thought to myself.I had come to this yacht tonight for one reason only—to watch my rivals make a spectacle of themselves. Laurent Holdings was getting too bold, and the Stones family was the perfect weak link I planned to exploit.I hadn’t c

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE: Who are you?Camilla’s POV The cameras went crazy. Light exploded across the deck like lightning strikes, dozens of shutters clicking in rapid succession. Reporters shouted over each other, their voices blending into an incoherent roar. I stood frozen on the stage, the microphone still in my hand, my words hanging in the air like smoke. Because I just caught him having sex with my sister. Then I saw my mother. Eleanor Stones collapsed as if someone had cut her strings. One moment she was standing rigid beside my father, the next she was on the floor, one hand pressed to her chest, her perfect blonde hair coming loose from its pins. "Eleanor!" Someone screamed. Guests rushed toward her. I watched it happen like I was underwater—slow, distant, unreal. My father's eyes found mine across the crowd. The look in his eyes made my stomach drop. Red. Furious. Not concerned about me. Not heartbroken for me. Furious—because I had done exactly what my mother warned me not to do. I had embarrassed

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO: I’m calling off this engagement.Camilla’s pov I ran blindly through the narrow corridor, my dress tangling around my legs, the beautiful fabric now feeling like chains. My heels clicked sharply against the polished floor. Tears burned in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. Not yet. Not here. “Camila! Wait!” Alex’s voice echoed behind me. Heavy footsteps pounded closer. Before I could reach the stairs leading back to the main deck, his hand closed around my wrist, yanking me to a stop. “Let me go!” I hissed, twisting violently in his grip. “Don’t you ever touch me again, you crazy bastard!” His grip loosened, but he didn’t let go. I stared at him in disbelief. “Out of all the women in the world,” I spat, voice cracking, “why my sister? On our engagement night? On my yacht?” Alex exhaled sharply, glancing over his shoulder as if worried someone might hear. No apology. No shame. Just annoyance flickering across his handsome features. “Camila, you’re overreacting.” I stared at him, dumbfounded. The words

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE: My fiancé is having sex with my sister on our engagement night.Camila’s pov My fiancé is having sex with my sister on our engagement night. The thought echoed through my mind, but it still didn't feel real.Just hours earlier, I had believed today would be the happiest day of my life. The day I, Camila Stones, the quiet, adopted daughter who never quite fit into the gilded frame of her own family, would finally secure her place and be engaged to Alex Laurent, the heir to Laurent Holdings.I stood in front of the full-length mirror in the yacht’s luxurious master suite, the one I had designed myself with soft champagne silk walls, warm walnut accents, and lighting that made everything feel like a dream. The dress hugged my curves like it had been poured over me—ivory satin that caught the light with every breath, delicate lace tracing my shoulders and plunging just enough to feel elegant rather than exposed. My dark hair was swept up in soft waves, diamonds sparkling at my throat. I looked like the perfect bride-to-be.But inside, my stomach twis
