Claimed By The C.E.O Out of the Ashes
The heavy desk was the only barrier standing between them and the three men blocking the study door.Alexander didn't hesitate. In one smooth motion, he grabbed the thick edge of the desk and shoved it forward with all his strength, slamming it directly into the two lead men. The sudden impact sent them stumbling backward into the narrow hallway, creating a brief, frantic opening."Clara, the window, go!" Alexander growled, grabbing her arm and pulling her toward the back alcove of the study.Clara snatched her father's notebook and the USB drive off the wood, shoving them into her coat pocket alongside the brass sleeve. Her heart was beating so hard it felt like it was going to crack her ribs.Alexander grabbed a heavy brass floor lamp and hurled it through the tall glass window at the back of the room. The glass shattered with a deafening crash, scattering sharp, sparkling shards across the wooden porch outside."Get out! I'm right behind you!" he command
Claimed By The C.E.O The Price of Standing Beside Him
Elena stared at the black sedan rear handle for two full seconds before pulling it open. It was barely eight in the morning, but the humidity was already thick enough to stick her hair to the back of her neck. She dropped into the plush leather seat, expecting to find an empty car or at least a quiet driver.Instead, Julian was sitting right beside her, an iPad resting in his lap, scrolling through market reports as if he hadn't slept at all."You're late by two minutes," he said without looking up.Elena’s jaw tightened. She slammed the door a little harder than necessary. "The elevator in my apartment building was stuck on the third floor. Again. Some of us don't live in penthouses with private lifts, Mr. Vance."Julian finally paused, turning his head slowly toward her. His dark eyes took in her faded jeans, her oversized sweater, and the faint dark circles under her eyes that no amount of cold water had been able to wash away."That'll be fixed by tonight," he said casually, signa
Claimed By The C.E.O Air and Truth
Emergency vehicles lined the street in front of Sterling Tower, their red and blue lights flashing against the surrounding skyscrapers. Security guards surrounded Alexander and Clara as they stepped out of the private side exit, shielding them from a small crowd of late night reporters who had gathered near the perimeter tape.Alexander didn't slow his pace. His hand remained wrapped securely around Clara's waist, guiding her straight toward the back seat of a blacked-out SUV."Get in," he said, his voice flat and commanding.Clara slid onto the leather seat, pulling her coat tight around herself. Alexander climbed in right behind her, shutting the door heavy against the noise of the street. Thomas hopped into the front passenger seat, turning around immediately with a tablet in hand."Sir, police are requesting a statement regarding the sub basement intruder," Thomas reported quickly. "And Vance Holdings' PR team just issued a release claiming Marcus Vance was out of the country toni
Claimed By The C.E.O The Descent
The silence inside the vault was immediate and heavy.When the massive steel door slammed shut, the light vanished completely. Pitch blackness swallowed the small room, thick and heavy, like being buried alive beneath tons of concrete and rock.Clara gasped, her heart jumping straight into her throat. "Alexander?""I'm right here," his voice came out of the darkness, surprisingly calm and steady.A second later, the sharp beam of the flashlight clicked back on, slicing through the gloom. Alexander lowered the beam so it didn't blind her, pointing it toward the solid metal door.Clara rushed past him, her hands slamming against the cold steel surface. She felt around frantically for a handle, a switch, or a release button, anything. But the inner side of the door was completely smooth."There's no handle," she said, her voice shaking as fear began to claw at her chest. "Alexander, there’s no way to open it from the inside!""Step back, Clara," he commanded softly.He stepped up to the

Alexander’s face turned into a wall of cold stone. He grabbed the heavy silver key and the folded note off the desk, sliding them into his pocket with one swift motion."Get your coat," he said, his voice dropping into a harsh, sharp tone. "We're going to Sterling Tower.""I'm coming with you," Clara said instantly. She didn't wait for his permission. She pulled a dark trench coat over her evening dress and followed him out to the private elevator.The drive back to the financial district was spent in total silence. Rain hammered against the windshield of the SUV as the driver ran every red light on the empty avenue. Beside her, Alexander stared straight ahead, his jaw clenched tightly.Ten minutes later, the SUV slammed to a halt inside the underground parking garage of Sterling Tower. Red emergency lights were flashing against the concrete walls, and a loud, pulsing alarm echoed through the massive space.Two armed security guards ran up to the car the moment Alexander stepped out.
Claimed By The C.E.O The Vault
Clara’s heart did a strange flip. She looked from the thick yellow envelope in Thomas’s hands straight to Alexander."A vault?" Clara repeated, her voice cutting through the cool air. "My father was an architect, not a treasure hunter. Why would he build a vault beneath Sterling Global?"Alexander didn't answer her immediately. He took the envelope from Thomas, his knuckles white against the paper. The calm, untouchable persona he had worn all evening cracked for a second, revealing something far darker beneath."Go back inside, Thomas," Alexander ordered, his tone flat. “Make sure no one else sees this report.""Yes, Mr. Sterling," Thomas said, bowing his head quickly before rushing back into the warmth of the ballroom.Once the glass doors clicked shut, Clara turned on Alexander, taking a step closer. "Talk to me. What is going on? What does my father have to do with your building?"Alexander unsealed the envelope and pulled out a stack of old, faded blueprints alongside several bl
