Jennifer's POV

My Father Romano Conti......fearless, arrogant, ruthless and no one can ever say no to him.One day decides I have to have me married to one of the top Jewlers Lucas Lombandi...rich handsome 6 foot 4 you name it. He was eye candy alright but cocky as fuck. I'm one of the Bad Boss Bitches (triple B threat) in London. Black soft skin, long luscious hair, a smile that kills not to mention I own my own company .I own Cushion Publicist its a small publishing company but going strong. I started this company as soon as I was freshly out of Uni. Graduated with Honors saved up enough money and opened something for myself. My Mom died when I was 3 because of cancer . Romano never remarried ended up making me and only child.( didn't stop him from whoring around though) I'm 26 and Baby I rule the world...(well that's what I like to think). I never really liked Romano...uptight all the way . As his only heir he claims he wants what's best for me and he believes that lays with Lucas. Yeah he let me live my life , he let me study what I wanted but when duty called he wanted me to be ready to answer. I thought the day was never gonna come but here it is.

Romano doesn't believe a woman can own real Power. He believes our job is to look pretty beside men and spend some cash. Hence the way he looks down on my Company. Yes I was doing well for myself but to him it wasn't good enough. Romanos Childhood friend Christopher former CEO of Lombadis Jewelery had 2 kids Oldest (now CEO) Lucas 29 then the younger daughter of his Tracy .They were friends but we never saw eye to eye, I never liked them. They agreed to get us married last year but I never paid any heat to it. Yes I've gotten to know Lucas all my life but i hated him . He was the definition of A Nepo Baby, spoilt to the Bone. So next week is the wedding and I need to figure a way to tell my boyfriend Jax about this. I met Jax in Uni. He was doing an engineering major and now works for one of the top Companies here "Lazer Tech". He's an amazing boyfriend and I'm hurt that I have to tell him what's about to go down...Wish me luck

*Knocking on Jaxs apartment door *

He answers the door after a sec then he goes. "Hi Baby" whilst he leans for a kiss whilst closing the door behind me pulls away "Heyy" blushing I said. "What do I owe this pleasure" he said pulling me closer to him. "Can't I visit my man without calling in advance?" I asked. "Mami you can do anything you want you know all this is yours " he said in a soft tone whilst whispering close to my face. "You look sexy in this dress...but I would love to see you without it" He whispers in my ear. "Umm Jax I wan...nnnna ummmm tell you some....thiinggg" I say whilst moaning to the way he bites my ear. " I think we talk best when we are naked" he says cheekly in my ear whilst he continues to lick my ear and pulls me close till I feel his hard on . I try to push him away but he pulls me closer and I fall on him on his couch. At this moment I knew what was about to go down. I didn't mind because this man makes me feel things which I'm not ashamed to admit. I straddle him and we kiss hungrily. We'll I've been starving my Man for a week now so I need to feed him. He pushes his tongue in my mouth and I suck on it as the good girl that I am (intense i know). I take my time whilst my hands are pulling his hair. Whilst I'm doing this he has his hands on my ass pinching ,kneeding , squeezing you name it. He moans in my mouth that's when I pull his vest off. Mannnnn this man has a body for days I run my hands over his chest. We'll that's my second most favorite part of his body ( you can guess what's the first). I use my hand to lay him flat on the couch but that doesn't stop him from pulling my skirt up and kneeding more. I run my tongue on his chest from his chin past between the nipples straight to the prize but before I can do any of that there's a loud banging at the door. And this stops us immediately and I could tell my Man's jewels went soft in an instant. I got off of him fast and fixed myself whilst he wore his Vest and attended the door. I was confused as F but what can I do. I heard him great someone and he comes in with this Woman .Who is she i asked myself...

    The Glass GuillotineThe boardroom of Lombardi International was a cathedral of cold glass and sharp edges sixty floors above the London fog. The air smelled of expensive espresso and the scent of high end servers. Jennifer walked in, the red dress a defiant splash of color against the grey suits of the directors.Lucas sat at the head of the table, as a King of this domain. He didn't look at her as she took her seat. He was focused on a tablet, his face a mask of granite. Beside him, Romano Conti looked unsettled, his eyes darting toward the double doors as if expecting the FBI to burst in at any second."The board is in session" the Chairman announced. "Mrs. Lombardi, we are eager to hear the vision for Cushion Publicist under the new regime."Jennifer stood. Her hand was steady as she walked to the podium. She felt the weight of the USB drive in her clutch the silver bullet. She then looked at Lucas. He finally raised his eyes, and for a heartbeat, the memory of the office

    Jennifer POV I made my way for the door to leave the office to get ready for the meeting. But before I could reach the door. He pulled me towards him and crashed me to the wall. "I told you , I'm not a hero but..." Lucas said, his eyes dropping to my lips. His thumb traced the curve of my mouth, pulling slightly on my bottom lip. The look in his eyes was full of hunger. "I'm a man who saw something he wanted and decided he would have it, regardless of the cost." He leaned down, his face inches from mine, his gaze dark and heavy with a desire he was no longer trying to hide. "You think you're a prisoner, Jennifer? You have no idea how much power you actually have over me in this room." He stayed there, hovering on the edge of a kiss, his hand tightening in my hair. He was waiting for me to break, but the way he was looking at me told me he was the one truly on the edge. "We have a meeting in an hour" I reminded him...my breath hitching as his nose brushed against mine. "The

    The Lions Den The voice was a low growl from the doorway. I spun around, my heart nearly stopping. Lucas was standing there, sweat-slicked from his workout, a towel draped around his neck. He looked less like a businessman and more like a threat. "I... I was looking for a pen," I lied, my voice cracking. Lucas walked toward me, his eyes shifting from my face to the glowing screen behind me. He saw the folder. He saw the progress bar. "You found the file," he said softly, his voice devoid of the anger I expected. Instead, there was a strange, haunting sadness. "I told you, Jennifer. I don't do things in small measures." "You’ve been stalking me for years?" I hissed, backing away until I hit the desk. "This isn't business. This is an obsession." "It’s a protection," he countered, stepping into my space. He reached out and touched the screen, closing the folder with a single click. "I knew your father was sinking. I knew he was going to sell you to the highest bidder to cover

    The Silent BreakfastJennifer’s POVThe following morning, the tension in the mansion was a physical weight, thick enough to clog my lungs. I walked into the dining room to find a sight I hadn't prepared for...... my father, Romano Conti, sitting at the breakfast table as if he’d never left. He was deep in conversation with Lucas, their heads bowed over a series of spreadsheets that looked suspiciously like the final merger tallies."Ah, Jennifer," Romano said, looking up with a sharp, predatory smile. "There she is. The woman of the hour."I took my seat across from Lucas, the memory of our encounter on the balcony the night before flashing through my mind like a fever dream. Lucas didn't look at me. He was meticulously cutting a piece of dry toast, his movements so precise they were clinical."You look pale, Jennifer," Romano noted, his eyes narrowing. "Marriage doesn't seem to be providing the 'glow' your mother always spoke of.""Maybe that's because this marriage feels more lik

    The Glitch in the MatrixJennifer's POVThe moment I heard Lucas's car pull down the gravel driveway, I opened my eyes. The "hangover" was real, but the memory loss? That was a masterpiece of a lie.I waited until the house settled into its usual, oppressive silence before I moved. I didn't head for the creative team's meeting. Instead, I grabbed the tablet Tracy had left hidden behind the vent in the library.My fingers were shaking as I typed in the bypass code. *Master?* I thought, a bitter smirk touching my lips. *He has no idea.*I had remembered every second of that kiss. I remembered the way his hands felt, the way his heartbeat had hammered against my chest. But more importantly, I remembered what I had seen over his shoulder while he was distracted by me."Come on, Tracy, pick up," I whispered, the tablet's screen flickering to life.A few seconds later, Tracy’s face appeared in a small window, her eyes hidden behind blue light glasses. "You're late. Lucas just called the s

    ​Jennifer’s POV​The green juice was doing nothing for the jackhammer in my skull, but my mind was sharper than it had been in days.
