Ruthless Temptation
Emma Scott has always had it all—wealth, beauty, and power. As the privileged daughter of a business tycoon, she ruled her university years with confidence, arrogance, and an undeniable presence. But beneath her sharp tongue and ruthless attitude was an obsession she never dared to name—Killian Thomas, the one man who never bowed to her.
Killian, a hardworking scholarship student from a middle-class background, despised Emma for the torment she put him through. She was cruel, entitled, and always seemed to have a target on his back. But when one heated argument after class turns into something far more physical, their hatred transforms into an addiction neither of them can resist.
What starts as secret, no-strings-attached encounters after lectures spirals into something far more dangerous. They become study partners, but their breaks are filled with untamed passion. One night, they get locked inside the library and spend the entire night indulging in their darkest desires. Their obsession only grows stronger.
Upon graduation, Killian is offered a job at Emma’s father’s company, the very place where Emma works. Their sinful rendezvous continue in secret—stolen moments in offices, forbidden trysts during business trips. They think they’re careful, but when Emma’s father catches them in a compromising position overseas, their affair is exposed.
Faced with an ultimatum, Emma refuses to back down. She confesses that her bullying was always a twisted way of masking her love for Killian. She threatens to leave everything behind if her father dares to fire him.
Forced to confront their true feelings, Emma and Killian finally make their relationship official. But even after marriage, their hunger for each other remains insatiable—whether at home, at work, or in places they should never be.
Their passion is reckless. Their love is ruthless. And their temptation?

Chapter: Marriage Doesn’t Change Them Killian’s POV If anyone thought marriage would tame us, they clearly didn’t know us at all. Two weeks into being husband and wife, and we were worse than ever—reckless, impatient, insatiable. It was like the ring on her finger had given us permission to abandon every last shred of self-control. Emma was still the same firestorm—sharp-tongued, effortlessly elegant, and impossible to ignore. Especially when she strutted into the office wearing those pencil skirts that hugged her hips like they were sculpted for sin, heels clicking like a warning. And I? I was still the man who couldn’t stop wanting her. “Your wife is on the warpath,” Zoe, one of the assistants, whispered as she passed my desk. I smirked. “Noted.” Emma stormed into the executive wing like a queen her eyes sharp, lips painted deep red, and her walk laced with purpose. She didn’t spare me a glance, but I sa

Chapter: The Wedding Night Emma’s POV The moment the last guest left, and the door to the honeymoon suite closed behind us, the silence felt like a soft exhale—like the entire world had finally fallen away, leaving just us. I turned slowly, the weight of the wedding gown suddenly more noticeable now that the adrenaline had faded. Killian was watching me with that look—that smoldering, soul-piercing gaze that had made me fall so hard for him. He walked toward me slowly, his tux jacket already draped over a nearby chair, bow tie loosened, shirt slightly unbuttoned. Every step he took made my pulse race harder. “We’re finally here,” I whispered, my voice trembling with anticipation. Killian stopped in front of me, brushing a strand of hair from my cheek. “We made it.” There was a reverence in his touch. Like he couldn’t believe I was his. Like we hadn’t just stood in front of hundreds of people hours ago and vowe

Chapter: Fighting the Backlash Killian’s POV The backlash was immediate. The media didn’t just take the bait—they devoured it. News cycles dissected every word, every look, every photo Emma and I had taken together since graduation. Old classmates came out of nowhere, offering embellished stories for a taste of attention. “Sleeping her way to the top,” they called her. “Social-climbing scholarship boy,” they labeled me. It was disgusting. Dehumanizing. But the worst part wasn’t what they said about me. I’d grown used to people underestimating me. No—what gutted me was watching them try to rip her apart. Emma, who had fought twice as hard to prove she was more than just her last name. Emma, who never took the easy way out. She didn’t cry. She didn’t crack. But I saw it in her eyes at night—when her makeup was wiped off and her voice was quiet—that it hurt. So I made a vo

Chapter: A Scandal Breaks Emma’s POV The news broke like a slap across the face. I was sitting at my desk, sipping coffee and reviewing a merger proposal when my assistant burst in, breathless, tablet in hand. “You need to see this.” My stomach dropped before I even looked. I could feel it—something cold and invasive creeping over my skin. There it was. “Heiress Emma Weston Slept Her Way to the Top? Leaked Emails Reveal University Hookups with Now-Husband Killian Thomas.” Attached to the headline were screenshots of emails—some old, flirty exchanges Killian and I had shared using university addresses, mixed with speculation and anonymous quotes from supposed classmates. I clicked one. “It was an open secret. She used to bully him in class. Then suddenly, they were always disappearing together. We all knew something was going on.” No source. No context. No truth.

Chapter: Wedding Chaos & Parental Resistance Emma’s POV The wedding was three weeks away. Three weeks of flower arrangements, seating charts, dress fittings, and chaos. But none of it compared to the storm brewing in my father’s eyes every time Killian walked into the room. “I still don’t understand,” he muttered over scotch one evening, swirling the amber liquid like it held answers. “Why him, Emma? Of all the men in your world…” “My world,” I repeated coldly. “Funny how you’re so quick to define it—like I had no part in building it myself.” “You know what I mean.” “No,” I said, leaning forward, eyes locked. “I don’t. So say it. Say what you really mean, Dad.” He clenched his jaw. “He’s not one of us. He never will be.” I smiled—sharp, unyielding. “Then maybe that’s the best thing about him.” Killian’s POV I wasn’t supposed to hear it. But I did.

Chapter: A Romantic Proposal Emma’s POV The invitation came in a box black velvet, with gold script and a rose tucked beside it. “Tonight. Dress warm. Be mine.” No location. No time. Just… faith. And after everything we’d been through, I didn’t hesitate. By 6:00 PM, a car pulled up outside my penthouse. The driver handed me a scarf and a knowing smile, then whisked me away from the glass towers and blaring horns of the city. Where we were going didn’t matter. I knew who I’d find at the end of the road. Killian. Killian’s POV I stood at the center of the rooftop garden I’d rented for the night candles lit, fairy lights twinkling above the snowy terrace. Strings of golden lights flickered along the wrought-iron railing, casting a warm glow over the city skyline below. She was everything. The fire I never knew I needed. The storm I’d gladly walk into,
