BLINDED BY SEDUCTION Chapter 16: Dreamy Dinner
ElaraThe black car came just after seven amI was still in my robe, hair tied in a loose bun, coffee growing cold beside a half-eaten slice of toast. My kitchen smelled faintly of vanilla and burnt bread which was a sign that I was, at best, pretending to have my life together.When the doorbell rang, I almost ignored it. I wasn’t expecting anyone. Then I saw the prado car through the window and a man in a suit standing at my gate like he’d stepped out of a movie.He held a white box and a letter. “From Mr. Pierce,” he said simply, handing them over.“Mr. Pierce?” I repeated, pretending not to know.“Yes, ma’am. He said to deliver it personally.”The handwriting on the envelope was bold and unmistakable.When I opened the box, the air seemed to thin around me. Inside was a dress midnight blue silk that shimmered when it caught the light, soft enough to slip through my fingers like water. The neckline was daring, the slit too high to be innocent, and the shape unmistakably made for me
BLINDED BY SEDUCTION Chapter Fifteen – Chloe’s Suspicion
Chloe’s POVLandon had been distracted for days.I first noticed it the morning he skipped breakfast, sitting on the balcony instead, staring at his phone. His coffee went cold beside him. He didn’t even touch it.“Everything okay?” I asked, wrapping my robe tighter.He blinked, almost surprised to see me there. “Yeah. Just tired.”“From what? You’ve done nothing but meetings and charity dinners.”He gave a small laugh but didn’t look up. “You sound jealous.”“I sound observant.” I moved closer, peeking at his phone. He turned it away too quickly.“Don’t start, Chloe.”“Start what?”He sighed and stood up. “You’re impossible sometimes.”He left without another word. But I saw the name on his phone before he flipped it over. Elena Marks.The same woman from the gala.I tried not to think about it at first. Women came and went around Landon like perfume, they were here one night, and forgotten the next. But something about this one was different. He didn’t just want her. He was bothered
BLINDED BY SEDUCTION Chapter fourteen: Temptation
ElenaThe message came that morning from Dante inviting me for lunch.I read it twice, smiling. My plan was working beautifully.I took my time getting ready. The black silk dress I chose wasn’t flashy, but it did just the trick of highlighting my curves. My hair fell in soft waves, and I painted my lips a calm shade of red. The kind of red that said I’m not trying to seduce you, but I could.By the time I arrived, his assistant was already waiting. She looked startled, almost flustered. “Mr. Pierce is expecting you,” she said, leading me through the glass doors.His office sat high above the city, a stretch of steel and sunlight. Floor-to-ceiling windows showed the skyline, but the man standing near them made the view look dull.“Miss Marks,” he said, turning. “You’re punctual. I like that.”“I figured it was safer not to keep you waiting,” I said, stepping closer.“You say that like I’m dangerous.”“Shouldn’t I?”He smiled faintly and gestured toward a table set up near the window.
BLINDED BY SEDUCTION Chapter thirteen: everydamn time
DanteI saw them before they saw me.Landon’s hand was on her arm.I stepped outside just as she pulled away from him. Her expression didn’t change, but her body was stiff, alert. She looked calm, but I could see the effort in it.“Goodnight, Landon,” she said, and slid into the backseat of a waiting car.The door shut, the engine started, and she was gone before my son could even think about stopping her again.He stood there by the curb, shoulders tense, staring at the empty road like he’d just seen a ghost.I waited a few seconds before walking over. “You want to explain what that was?”Landon turned, startled. “Dad. I didn’t see you there.”“Clearly.” I folded my arms. “Who is she?”“Elena,” he said quickly. “Elena Marks.”“I know her name,” I said. “That’s not what I asked.”He hesitated. “I… don’t know. She reminds me of someone.”“Reminds you?”He ran a hand through his hair. “You’ll think I’m crazy.”“That’s not new,” I said.He ignored me. “She reminds me of Elara.”That name
BLINDED BY SEDUCTION Chapter Twelve – The Phantom Girl
The next morning, my phone wouldn’t stop buzzing.Lucia’s name flashed on the screen.“Tell me you didn’t sleep with him,” she said as soon as I answered.“Good morning to you too.”“I saw the pictures. You’re all over the society pages. Dante Pierce couldn’t take his eyes off you.”I smiled faintly, scrolling through the articles. Who is the mysterious woman with the billionaire? “That’s good,” I said. “It means it’s working.”Lucia sighed. “You’re playing a dangerous game, darling. That man eats people for breakfast.”“So do I,” I said, ending the call.By noon, I had another text — this time from an unknown number.Unknown: Elena? It’s Landon. Hope you don’t mind me getting your number from the guest list.I stared at the screen for a long moment, my lips curving into a slow smile.Me: You seem persistent.Landon: You seem familiar.Me: We already covered that.Landon: Dinner tonight? Just two old souls who maybe met in another life.I didn’t answer. I wanted him restless.That nig
BLINDED BY SEDUCTION Chapter Eleven – A Dangerous Game Begins
Dante didn’t look away even after I tried to break eye contact. He was studying me, not in a rude way, but like he was trying to remember something and couldn’t let it go.“You have a strange effect on people,” he said finally.“People?” I asked. “Or men?”“Same thing, sometimes,” he replied, his lips curving slightly.I laughed under my breath. “That depends on who you ask.”“I’m asking you.”“Then yes,” I said. “Sometimes they are the same.”He tilted his head, amused. “You’re confident.”“I have to be,” I said. “It’s the only way to survive in a room full of sharks.”He chuckled quietly. “You don’t look like prey.”“I’m not.”“Good,” he said. “Because I don’t hunt for sport.”“Then what do you hunt for?” I asked, raising a brow.“Truth,” he said. “And people who lie well.”“That sounds like work,” I said, smiling. “You’re at a party, Mr. Pierce. Try to have some fun.”He leaned in just a little. “I am.”The air between us changed then. His nearness was warm, steady. He wasn’t touch
