FAZER LOGINAlex Morgan had stopped believing in love. Born gay in a world that rarely showed him kindness, Alex spent years chasing relationships that ended in disappointment. The last heartbreak—his painful breakup with Chris John—left him emotionally shattered and determined never to open his heart again. But fate had other plans. One night, while Alex sat alone in his office at Reed Holdings, quietly crying after another lonely day, the last person he expected suddenly walked through the door—Jamie Reed, the mysterious and untouchable CEO of the company. Jamie was powerful, cold, and impossibly wealthy—a man rumored to have ice in his veins and zero interest in romance. Yet instead of leaving, Jamie lifted Alex’s chin, studied his tear-stained face… and kissed him. That single kiss ignited a secret neither of them could ignore. Their hidden relationship soon grows intense, passionate, and dangerously addictive. Jamie refuses to stay away from Alex, visiting him night after night until rumors begin spreading through the office and beyond. Powerful people begin watching. Just as Alex decides to run away before becoming the center of a scandal that could destroy Jamie’s reputation, Jamie makes a shocking request. He begs Alex to let him claim him—completely. Within hours, they sign a marriage certificate. But marrying a billionaire is not a fairy tale. Alex suddenly finds himself surrounded by enemies—jealous lovers from Jamie’s past, ambitious business rivals, manipulative friends, and dangerous secrets buried deep within Jamie’s empire. As threats grow darker and betrayals surface, Alex must decide if their love is strong enough to survive the storm. Because in Light City, power comes with a price. And loving Jamie Reed might cost Alex everything.
Ver maisNobody spoke for several seconds after Miranda’s warning.The tension in the lobby felt suffocating.Alex stared at his mother like if he blinked too long she might disappear again.Alive.After all these years—Alive.Miranda looked older than he remembered.More tired.Like survival itself had worn pieces of her down slowly over time.But her eyes—They were exactly the same.And somehow that hurt most.Jamie remained slightly in front of Alex instinctively.Protective even now.Miranda noticed immediately.A faint sadness crossed her face.“You really do love him.”Jamie’s expression didn’t change.“That’s not your concern.”Alex finally found his voice.“You left me.”The words came out rougher than intended.Miranda flinched visibly.“I know.”“No,” Alex snapped quietly.“You don’t.”Silence.Painful silence.Security discreetly moved further back, sensing this was no longer their conversation.Miranda swallowed slowly.“The night of the warehouse fire, Adrian realized I stole th
Three nights after Jamie’s reinstatement—Elijah finally revealed the location of the second archive.A private estate hidden along the northern coast.Old.Isolated.And once owned jointly by the Vale and Reed families decades earlier.Alex stood inside Jamie’s office while Elijah spread old blueprints across the desk.“You kept this hidden the entire time?” Alex asked quietly.Elijah remained calm.“Because if Orpheus learned I still had access to it, we would all already be dead.”Comforting.Jamie studied the blueprints carefully.“There’s an underground server room here,” he murmured.Elijah nodded once.“The remaining files should still exist unless Adrian already reached them.”Jamie’s expression hardened slightly.“Then we move before he does.”Alex crossed his arms.“You’re still recovering.”Jamie barely glanced at him.“I’m fine.”“You literally still have stitches.”“I’ve had worse.”Alex looked toward Elijah.“Does he always respond like this?”Elijah sighed tiredly.“Unf
The media exploded within minutes of the board vote.“Jamie Reed Reinstated as CEO.”“Reed Holdings Scandal Collapses.”“Victor Hale Removed From Internal Operations.”Every business network replayed footage of Jamie leaving the boardroom beside Elijah.Cold.Untouched.Victorious.But what truly caught public attention—Was Alex.Because this time Jamie didn’t hide him.Not once.Photographers swarmed outside Reed Holdings headquarters as security escorted them toward the waiting cars.Questions flew aggressively from every direction.“Mr. Reed, are the engagement rumors true?”“Were the allegations against you fabricated?”“What’s your relationship to the Vale family?”Jamie ignored every question smoothly.Until one reporter shouted—“Is Alex Vale connected to Project Orpheus?”Everything stopped for half a second.Alex felt it instantly.The shift.The danger.Jamie’s expression became terrifyingly calm.Security immediately moved forward.But Jamie raised one hand slightly.Stopp
Jamie recovered slowly over the next week.Slow enough to frustrate everyone around him.Especially the doctors.Especially Alex.“Stop trying to walk,” Alex snapped one morning after catching Jamie halfway out of bed again.Jamie looked entirely unrepentant.“I’m bored.”“You were shot twice.”“I survived.”“That’s not the point.”Jamie leaned back against the pillows reluctantly while Alex adjusted the bandages near his side carefully.The safehouse remained quiet around them.Protected.Hidden.For the first time in weeks—No gunfire.No alarms.No blood on marble floors.Just silence.Jamie watched Alex fuss over him quietly.Then something unreadable softened in his expression.“What?” Alex asked suspiciously.Jamie’s gaze lingered on him.“You’ve started acting like this is permanent.”Alex frowned.“Acting like what is permanent?”“This.”Jamie gestured weakly between them.The room suddenly felt warmer.Dangerously warmer.Alex looked away briefly.“You almost died.”Jamie’s v
The car ride across the city was really quiet. Not in a way but it was like there was something in the air that neither Alex nor Jamie wanted to talk about.Outside the window Light City was all lit up like a sky full of stars. There were neon signs everywhere. Traffic lights blinking all over the
The next morning.Alex woke up slowly. It took a moment for him to realize he was awake.He lay still under the gray blankets of his bed. He stared up at the ceiling.Fragments of memory floated through his thoughts. They were like scattered pieces of a dream.The night before felt unreal.It felt
Alex was frozen in place for seconds.The office around him felt far away like he was in a different world or something.The desk lamp was still shining on the papers while the city lights were still sparkling through the glass wall and the air conditioner was still humming above.None of this felt
The office had never been this quiet before.At night the entire twenty-second floor of Light City Corporate Tower usually slept in darkness.The steady hum of computers was replaced by the murmur of traffic far below. But tonight one small corner office still glowed with a pale white light.Alex C
