BURNING FOR DADDY The Price of Silence
Damien's POV The conference hall was already full when I arrived.Executives sat in neat rows, investors filled the front section, and senior staff crowded the back. Every seat in the room was occupied with people who believed they were about to witness a victory. Zachary had built the entire atmosphere around confidence, and the illusion that what was about to be unveiled belonged to him.I sat at the center table with Isabella beside me.She said nothing, but I could feel her tension. It wasn’t loud or obvious, but it was there in the way she kept her hands folded too tightly.And in the way her gaze stayed fixed on the stage longer than necessary, I could tell she's as worried as I am. Or rather still, she was hiding something from me. The lights dimmed, and the presentation began.I didn’t move, or blink.I watched the screen come alive with every detail of a project I had personally overseen from its earliest framework. Every structure, every model, every visual alignment ap
BURNING FOR DADDY The betrayal
Isabella's POV The conference hall felt heavier than usual, and I could barely focus on the voices around the table as the meeting dragged on. Papers were being shuffled, reports were being read, and strategies were being discussed, but none of it was registering properly in my head.My eyes kept drifting to Damien.He sat at the head of the table, sharp, composed, and dangerously calm in a way that always made everyone else adjust their behavior without even realizing it. But today was different. There was something strained in his expression, something subtle but visible enough for me to notice if I paid attention.I did not want to care, I kept telling myself I did not. But every time he spoke, there was a tightness in his voice that made it impossible to ignore.It reminded me of something I did not want to think about.It reminded me that whatever I was doing, it was slowly starting to leave marks on him too. And that alone should have made me feel satisfied.Instead, it made
BURNING FOR DADDY The Leak
Damien’s POVThe shrill sound of my phone vibrating against the bedside table dragged me out of sleep violently.I groaned irritably and reached for it without opening my eyes properly. The moment I saw my assistant’s name flashing across the screen at barely six in the morning, irritation settled in my chest immediately.Nobody called me this early unless something had gone terribly wrong.“What is it?” I answered coldly.“Sir… there’s a problem.” He stammered, and my eyes snapped open instantly.“What kind of problem?” I asked sharply.There was hesitation on the other end, and I hated it immediately.“Zachary Corporation just launched the new project into the market.” He revealed, and for a second, my mind went blank.“What?” I asked slowly.“The project, sir. The same one your team has been working on for the last seven months, they launched it this morning.” He explained, and I sat upright immediately.“That’s impossible,” I growled.“I thought so too, sir, but the entire market
BURNING FOR DADDY Dangerous Lines
Isabella’s POVThe air in the room turned stiff the moment Damien walked in. Cole froze beside me, and for a second, my own heartbeat stopped alongside his. Damien’s sharp eyes moved from Cole to me slowly, and the tension in the office thickened immediately.“What is he doing here with you?” Damien asked coldly.I folded my arms across my chest and forced myself to remain calm despite the panic threatening to rise inside me.“He came to see his girlfriend,” I answered casually.Damien’s jaw tightened slightly, but his expression remained unreadable.Cole glanced at me before suddenly stepping closer. My breath caught when he wrapped an arm around my waist possessively.“Exactly! I was just leaving anyway,” Cole said with a smile that looked more provoking than genuine.I tried not to react as his fingers brushed lightly against my waist.“Don’t forget everything we talked about,” Cole whispered into my ear deliberately loud enough for Damien to hear, then he stepped away from me and
BURNING FOR DADDY The Warning
Isabella’s POVDamien dropped me off at the entrance of the company without saying much, but his hand lingered on my thigh for a second longer than necessary before he finally let go.“Don’t miss me too much,” he whispered against my ear and I scoffed, adjusting myself as I stepped out of the car.“Try not to get distracted running a company,” I muttered back and slammed the door shut before walking away without looking back.I could feel his eyes on me the entire time until the car finally drove off. And even after it disappeared from view, the heat of his touch still lingered on my skin like a reminder I could not wash off.I forced myself to walk into the building with steady steps, pretending nothing had happened. My face stayed composed, my expression neutral, but my body betrayed me in ways I could not control. My pulse was still uneven, my thoughts scattered, and no matter how hard I tried, my mind kept circling back to him.After I returned from seeing Cole, the rest of the
BURNING FOR DADDY The complication
Cole's POVMy body trembled beneath the jacket I wore as I waited for the arrival of Isabella. Ever since the incident with the DNA test results, I've been out of sight to avoid any suspicion. And the fact that I had to kill two different human being is still haunting my freaking mind till now. But it was the only option I had and I would have been exposed if I had not taken that drastic step. My phone chimed, and a notification popped up on my phone. It was from a familiar person, so I clicked on the message to check on its content. Whatever you do… make sure Isabella loses interest in the Moretti group. Everything is ours, but she's beginning to show interest, and I don't like that… I might kill her if she persists~ BOSSThe message read, and I quickly deleted it, I can't have anyone, especially my mother, know I'm working with another person to bring Damien down. I brushed my fingers through my hair, feeling a bit frustrated at how everything was going. But I really just need t
BURNING FOR DADDY The Evidence
Isabella's POV My first day at Hartley Media went considerably well. I was prepared for everything they could throw at me, and I managed to impress them. If only the thoughts of Damian wouldn't pop up in my head every five minutes. I was still left aching in need from just his fingers earlier. And

Isabella's POVMom must have given him my number thinking he only wanted to get closer. The message was short, authoritative. The smugness that came with knowing I had no choice but to do what he wanted. He had leverage over me and I had nothing on him. For now I couldn't do anything but comply.An

Isabella's POV"Tell me what you want." I tried to sound calm, unnerving, but the crack in my voice betrayed me.Cole's smile was relaxed, as if he already knew he'd eventually have his way."It's quite easy actually," he said, leaning back on his chair. "I just need you to keep hooking up with Dam

Isabella’s POV I arrived home as late as I could, making sure to avoid seeing Damien. But I was wrong. They were both waiting for me in the sitting room. “You are back! Why did you go out without your driver? Why must you always do silly and crazy stuff like this all the time?” My mother scolded
