Authoress POV
Meet Cali Rillion, a 22-year-old young woman struggling to make ends meet. After the tragic death of her parents in a fatal car accident, Cali is left with the responsibility of caring for herself and her younger brother.
Cali's parents were wealthy business tycoons-successful and respected. Unfortunately, envy followed their success. Two years ago, they were ambushed by jealous rivals, an attack that resulted in their deaths disguised as a fatal car crash.
At just 20 years old, Cali was forced to grow up fast. She took on the responsibility of caring for herself and her little brother, Edward, after their aunt, Rita, seized all their parents' properties. Left with no other choice, Cali began searching for a job.
Sadly, for years, most employers were more interested in exploiting her than helping her survive.

As for Cali, her life is a complete mess, and she desperately needs $200,000 to solve her problems.
Extract from the story
"Do you really need this job?" he asked.
What is wrong with this billionaire? If I didn't need this job, would I even be here? I thought angrily, hissing inwardly.
I nodded and muttered a quiet yes.
"So, how desperate are you?" he asked, leaning back in his chair as he waited my reply

Chapter: UNDER HIS CONTROL 2CALIHis words lingered in the air long after he spoke them.They weren’t loud. They weren’t dramatic. He didn’t raise his voice or lean in closer. That was what made them unsettling. He said them as if he were stating a fact—something already decided, something I was only just catching up to.For a moment, I couldn’t respond.I stood there, my heart racing, my thoughts scattered like papers knocked off a desk. Everything inside me felt tangled—fear, confusion, anger, something softer I didn’t want to acknowledge. I opened my mouth, then closed it again, unsure of what I was even supposed to say.The room felt smaller now.Not physically, but emotionally. Like the walls had shifted inward while I wasn’t paying attention. I became acutely aware of how close we still were, of how the silence between us carried more weight than any argument could.I broke eye contact first.My gaze dropped to the floor, my fingers curling against the fabric of my dress as if holding onto it could ground

Chapter: UNDER HIS CONTROLCALI I noticed him pulling off his clothes, and for a moment my brain refused to process what my eyes were seeing. It wasn’t dramatic or rushed. That was what unsettled me the most. He moved with the same calm confidence he always carried, as if undressing in front of me was no different from adjusting his cufflinks or straightening a tie.Then I realized he was unbuckling his belt.My breath caught sharply in my throat.My pulse quickened instantly, hammering against my ribs, and a strange mixture of curiosity and fear twisted together in my chest until I couldn’t tell one from the other. I told myself to look away. I told myself to move. But my body didn’t listen. I stayed where I was, frozen, my back pressed lightly against the wall as if I needed something solid to keep me upright.He didn’t look at me.That made it worse.The lack of acknowledgment felt deliberate, like he was reminding me that he controlled the space, the timing, and the rules. That I was reacting while he was

Chapter: THE FIANCEE REVEALBRYAN“What was that for?” she asked.Her voice trembled slightly, barely noticeable, but I caught it. I always did. It wasn’t fear exactly more like shock layered with confusion, the kind that comes when something happens too fast for the heart to keep up with the mind.“To show him that you’re mine,” I replied.My voice out lower than I intended, deliberate, steady. I didn’t soften it. I didn’t joke. I wanted her to hear the certainty in it, to understand that I hadn’t acted on impulse at least not entirely.For a moment, she didn’t respond. She just stared at me, her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t quite find the words. The noise of the hall rushed back in around us voices, laughter, clinking glasses but it all felt distant, muted, like we were standing inside a bubble that hadn’t quite burst yet.Then the weight of the night finally crashed down on me.After what felt like an eternity, I realized I wanted to go home.Not just wanted needed.Nor

Chapter: A KISS MEANT AS A THREATCALIGosh, I was doomed.That was the only thought looping endlessly in my mind as I sat there, stiff and restless, pretending everything was fine when it absolutely wasn’t. I could feel Thomas’s gaze on me heavy, deliberate, unwavering. It wasn’t just a glance or a passing look. It was the kind of stare that followed every movement, every breath, every tiny shift of my posture.I tried to ignore it..I told myself it was just paranoia, that maybe I was imagining things. But deep down, I knew better. I had known Thomas long enough to recognize that look. It was the same look he used to wear when he wanted something when he decided something belonged to him.And right now, that something was me.My chest tightened as I shifted in my seat, suddenly hyper-aware of everything around me. The lights felt too bright. The room felt too crowded. The air felt thick, as if it were pressing down on my lungs. I could barely focus on the meeting unfolding in front of us. Words floated past me, mean

Chapter: RIVALRY AND DESIREThomasI stood before the mirror longer than necessary, adjusting the cuffs of my silver suit with deliberate care. The fabric hugged my body perfectly tailored, expensive, flawless. I had chosen it for a reason. Tonight wasn’t just another corporate gathering or a meaningless public appearance. Smith Bryan was coming.Every detail mattered.I reached for my watch, fastening it slowly around my wrist. The face gleamed under the soft lighting of my room, catching reflections from the chandelier above. Rings followed subtle, tasteful, powerful. Nothing excessive, nothing careless. Everything about me had to speak of control, dominance, refinement.I had no intention of fading into the background.Smith Bryan had always had that infuriating ability to walk into a room and own it without trying. Attention clung to him naturally, as though the world itself bent in his favor. I hated that about him. I had hated it since high school.Back then, it had started as something trivial. Competing

Chapter: ATTENDING A BUSINESS MEETING WITH HIMCALII was so deep in my thoughts that I almost forgot where I was until his voice cut through the silence.Low. Firm. Controlled.“Strip.”For a few seconds, my body went completely numb.It wasn’t shock exactly it was realization. A slow, heavy realization that settled in my chest and made it hard to breathe. That was when it truly hit me. I wasn’t imagining this. I wasn’t exaggerating things in my head.I was really here.This wasn’t empty talk or some cruel bluff meant to scare me. I had agreed to this arrangement with my own mouth, signed it with my own hands, and now I was standing inside the consequences of that decision.I tried to remind myself why I was doing this.For my brother.I repeated the words silently, like a prayer, hoping they would steady me. But they didn’t bring comfort the way I had hoped. Instead, they felt distant too small to fight the fear crawling up my spine.My hands began to tremble before I could stop them.My eyes burned as tears gathered, pushing ag
