Betrayed by My Ex, Claimed by His Boss Chapter 20 — Not for Sale
I snapped the golden locks of my suitcase shut. The sharp click echoed in the quiet bedroom. Last night, Lucian had been painfully well-behaved. We shared the same sprawling mattress, yet he kept a flawless, gentlemanly distance. His deliberate restraint only made things worse for me. The memory of that demanding ride and the lingering heat of his hands on my waist kept my mind racing late into the night. Even as I slept, the scent of cedarwood and the steady rhythm of his breathing seemed to pull at my senses. I smoothed down the lapels of my charcoal blazer, ready to leave this estate behind. A sharp knock broke the morning silence. I opened the door to find Hawthorne standing in the hallway, his posture incredibly stiff. "Miss Evelyn," the butler said, his tone perfectly measured. "The cars will be ready for your departure in forty minutes. Before then, Mr. Edward Blackwood requests ten minutes of your time in the East Wing study.
Betrayed by My Ex, Claimed by His Boss Chapter 19 — A Demanding Ride
The scent of fresh hay and oiled leather filled the air of the Blackwood stables. The stable master, a nervous-looking man named Davies, immediately led out a beautiful, docile white mare. He offered the reins with a polite smile, clearly assuming that a woman who spent her life in Manhattan boardrooms would need the gentlest ride available. I politely declined. My attention had already drifted to the back of the stables, where a heavy wooden stall rattled under the force of a massive, restless animal. I walked over. Inside was a purebred black stallion. He was towering, his coat gleaming like obsidian in the dim light, and he was currently stomping his hooves, snorting aggressively at anyone who walked past. I stopped right at the edge of his enclosure. The stallion turned his massive head toward me, letting out a sharp, warning breath. I held my ground. Slowly, I reached my hand over the wooden gate. "

I met her gaze. My fingers tapped the edge of the leather box twice. The quiet sound echoed in the silent library. "He is fiercely territorial," I agreed smoothly, taking a slow sip of my coffee. "Which makes me wonder why you are standing in his private library. Excuse me, and you are?" The polite smile on her face fractured. She lifted her chin, her posture stiffening slightly as she recovered her aristocratic poise. "I'm Isabella Montclair. Our mothers are practically sisters," she said, her voice laced with an effortless superiority. "I've been coming to this estate since I was in grade school. I know my way around." "Then you should also know he doesn't appreciate uninvited guests in his place," I replied calmly, setting the coffee cup down. Isabella’s eyes narrowed for a fraction of a second, but she quickly masked it with a soft sigh. "Victoria sent me to find you. She has tea waiting on the terrace, and we thought you might f
Betrayed by My Ex, Claimed by His Boss Chapter 17 — Out of Place
Morning sunlight spilled through the narrow gap in the heavy blackout curtains, casting a single, bright line across the dark carpets of the bedroom. I woke up slowly, my mind drifting out of a surprisingly deep sleep. The air was warm. In fact, it was almost too warm. I shifted slightly, my cheek resting against something solid and steadily rising and falling. My fingers were curled effortlessly against a plane of bare, warm skin. I blinked the sleep from my eyes and slowly looked up. I had completely crossed the center line of the king-sized bed. I was practically plastered against Lucian’s side, my hand resting flat over his heart. Lucian was already awake. He was lying on his side, his head propped up on one hand. He was watching me with dark, clear eyes and a slow, amused smirk playing on his lips. "I see you take your own advice, Evelyn," Lucian murmured, his morning voice rough and impossibly low. "You really do seize unguarde
Betrayed by My Ex, Claimed by His Boss Chapter 16 — Close Enough
Lucian closed the heavy oak doors, shutting out the rest of the world and the oppressive weight of his family’s estate. He reached up, pulling his tie loose with a slow, deliberate tug. His dark eyes shifted to the center of the room, landing on the single king-sized bed before sliding back to me. "Don't worry," Lucian said, his voice laced with a dry, knowing amusement. "You can trust my integrity, Evelyn. I'm a gentleman." "I’ll hold you to that," I replied smoothly. I left him in the bedroom and stepped into the massive walk-in closet to change. It was a sleek, dimly lit space lined with dark wood, glass, and rows of bespoke suits. I set my things down and reached for the back of my dress, my fingers searching for the minuscule hidden clasp at the nape of my neck. After a minute of fruitless fumbling, my arms started to ache. The intricate design of the gown made it entirely impossible to unhook witho
Betrayed by My Ex, Claimed by His Boss Chapter 15 — The Evaluation
The vaulted ceiling swallowed the light from the crystal chandelier, casting long shadows across the heavy mahogany table. There was no background music here. The only permitted sound was the precise, terrifyingly polite clink of heavy silver against bone china. Every movement from the waitstaff was spectral. Every sip of wine was calculated. It was a room designed to make outsiders hyper-ventilate, acutely aware that they were sitting among people who could buy and sell small countries before dessert. I cut a small piece of my duck confit, eating it with absolute composure. Alexander, apparently unwilling to let his earlier humiliation go unpunished, broke the heavy silence. He set his wine glass down, leaning back slightly in his chair. "I have to admit, Evelyn," Alexander said, his voice carrying easily down the table. "It must be quite a culture shock, transitioning from the tech world to a table like this. Technology is fascinating, of co
