His Silent Possession
"Is he fucking you?"
Selene whipped her head toward him, furious. "How can you even ask me that? We are business partners, Cassian!"
Cassian slammed the brakes in front of the estate, turning to her with dangerous eyes.
"Good. Because let’s be very clear, El. We’re still legally married, and you still carry my name. If you humiliate me, or drag my family through a scandal with that man, I will bury your business so deep you’ll never find your way out. You will have absolutely nothing left but me."
One leaked paparazzi photo almost ruined everything... but the real danger is happening behind closed doors.
When gossip blogs publish pictures of Selene Vale on a late-night "date" with billionaire artist Daniel Sterling, her possessive husband Cassian uses their strict divorce contract to drag her into an emergency meeting.
He wants her trapped and forced to beg for his protection.
Instead, Selene turns the tables in the boardroom, turning a tabloid nightmare into a viral marketing masterclass for her agency.
Now, caught between two powerful men:
Cassian; who is losing his mind with jealousy, threatening to ruin her career if she steps out of line.
Daniel; who is playing a dangerous game under the boardroom table, sending a large bouquet of red roses to her office, and promising her an escape from her luxurious cage.
The press thinks they’re a united couple, but behind closed doors, Selene's marriage is a total war zone... and Daniel is making it impossible for her to stay grounded.

Chapter: Remember Selene“Where are you coming from, Selene?”She kept her voice steady even though her heart had already started beating faster. “Work.”“You dont work this late.”“I do when i have a big event coming up.”He set the glass down and walked toward her slowly. His eyes moved over her face first, then down to the heels she was still holding. Without asking, he took them from her hand and dropped them on the floor beside her feet. The silence that followed felt longer than it should have, and she could feel the weight of his stare even before he spoke again.“You didn’t answer any of my calls tonight.”“I was busy.”“Busy with who?”She forced herself to meet his eyes. “A client.”Cassian’s jaw tightened. “Who were you out with, Selene?”She stayed quiet for a moment and he noticed. The silence stretched again between them until she finally answered, choosing her words carefully because she already knew how this would sound to him.“Daniel. He asked me to look at one last piece for the exhibition

Chapter: The LineThe Silence that followed was suffocating with what she had just done.Daniel looked down at the phone on the table, then slowly brought his eyes back up to hers. He stopped smiling and the way he looked at her made her whole body go tense."Didn't take you for a rebel, Selene.""I'm just tired, I don't want to deal with a lecture right now.""You're sure about that?" he asked quietly. "Because once he realizes you're ignoring him, it's not going to be a fun conversation.""I know."Daniel leaned back against the cushions, watching her silently for a moment before he spoke. "You're really not going to call him back?"Selene sighed softly. “No Daniel, I won’t.”Suddenly, she reached for her coat on the chair, needing to break the silence before it got uncomfortable. Then she stood up from the couch, gathering her purse and phone off the table. As she turned toward the door, her heel got caught in the rug, causing her to slip and stumble forward. Daniel was off the couch instantly. He

Chapter: HerSelene was halfway to her car when her phone buzzed in her purse.She sighed and pulled it out, expecting another media alert or an update from her team. Instead, it was a text from Daniel.If you’re free, come by the studio. I want to show you something.A second text followed immediately after: Don’t use the front entrance. There are some reporters parked across the street. Pull into the alley off 4th, park behind the loading truck in front of the black bungalow, and knock on the door twice. Selene stood by her car for a second, looking at the screen. She knew she should go straight home. She knew Cassian was expecting her, and running around after hours wasn't exactly smart.She got into her car, started the engine, and put the address into the GPS anyway.Ten minutes later, she pulled into the narrow, dimly lit alley behind his building. She turned off the headlights, parked behind the truck, and stepped out. Walking up to the door, she knocked twice.The lock clicked, and the do

Chapter: Her WorldThe black sedan stopped outside the building, and before the driver could even get out, Cassian had already opened the door himself. He crossed the lobby, acknowledging the security guard with a curt nod before stepping into the elevator.12.The doors slid shut, and a few seconds later, they opened again.The reception area was busy. Phones ringing almost nonstop while two employees hurried past carrying presentation boards, and neatly labeled boxes.The receptionist looked up. "Good afternoon, Mr. Vale.""Good afternoon."She started to rise from her chair. "I'll let Mrs. Selene know you're here.""There's no need."She nodded and sat back down as Cassian continued walking into an office carrying on around him. Someone rolled a clothing rack toward one of the meeting rooms, while another employee balanced three coffee cups while trying not to drop a folder tucked beneath one arm."...the interview backdrop should stay near the entrance.""No, the lighting won't work there.""We'll t

Chapter: The Distance Between UsThe executive conference room was already occupied when Cassian walked in, conversations dying the moment he stepped through the door."Good morning, Mr. Vale."He nodded, acknowledging them before taking his usual seat at the head of the table. An assistant placed a tablet beside him while another handed him the morning reports.Cassian flipped open the first file. "Let's begin."The meeting moved quickly. Finance gave their weekly update, operations followed, and legal came next. Cassian listened without interrupting, only asking questions when something needed clarification, and once he got an answer, he moved on.By the time the final report ended, nearly forty minutes had passed. A man seated near the end of the table looked down at his notes before speaking. "One last update regarding the Sterling launch."Cassian looked up. "Go ahead.""Our project coordinator at Vellum sent in this morning's report. The preparations are still on schedule, and there haven’t been any delays sinc

Reaching for it with sleepy eyes, she expected another message from Hannah, but her screen was flooded with news alerts instead, one after another.VALE COUPLE PRESENTS UNITED FRONT AFTER RUMORED DATE NIGHTCASSIAN VALE AND WIFE SHUT DOWN DIVORCE RUMORSDANIEL STERLING'S GALLERY LAUNCH MOVES FORWARD DESPITE ONLINE SPECULATIONSelene rubbed her forehead before opening the first article. The lead photo wasn't from the restaurant, but from yesterday morning: Cassian's arm wrapped tightly around her waist as they walked into Vale Meridian, surrounded by flashing cameras. The headline painted them as a united couple standing strong against false rumors, while further down the page sat the photos of her at the restaurant with Daniel, who was labeled "the unexpected third party in Manhattan's most talked-about marriage."Selene sighed tiredly and dropped the phone back onto the bed.
