SERAPHINA. 

I wanted nothing in that moment but to bend on my knees and suck their cock until they were moaning my name. 

I had an instant urge to hear them call my name and caress my boobs. Saving me made me find them more attractive. 

Like I needed to repay them with my body.

I could feel my pussy pulsate. 

My head ringing with imaginations. When Adrian touched me again, I did not want him to stop. 

Knox was staring at me too. 

Sebastian's eyes were boring holes into my skin - god, I wanted them. The hunger this time was primal like my body needed them to survive. 

“Phina, come you need to change out of your clothes!” Tracy jumped in and grabbed me, pulling me up and away from them. 

Only then did I become myself and have some control over my mind. What the hell was wrong with me? Why the hell was I thinking about them in sucha manner? 

She helped me with a dress that I was not sure where she got it from. We headed back to the marketing department and all I could think about was the three billionaires. 

My head my throbbing. 

My body was begging for me to go back and bare myself to them in gratitude. What the hell was wrong with me? 

I needed to stop.

I really needed to stop this! 

However, stepping into the office, all eyes were on me. 

“Look at her, whore. She is trying to seduce every man in the office.” 

Whispers flew around. 

I couldn't believe they were blaming me.

“Hey, watch your tongue!” Tracy glared at the girl who had spoken. 

“Mister Lewis is not the kind of man to behave like that. I believe Miss Kale must have seduced him!” 

Whispers went on and on. 

“Look at her, shameless woman!” 

I held Tracy back because she was ready to go and fight for me. However, I was not in the mood. Not right now. 

I just couldn't believe that fellow women like myself were against me. Harsh reality of life. 

The next day, the stares had not reduced but no one was speaking. 

I slumped into my office chair. 

Tracy immediately rolled her chair over to my cubicle, her face pale and full of pure panic. "Seraphina," she whispered frantically, her high-pitched voice shaking. 

"Are you completely okay? Yesterday was... oh my god, it was insane. The entire building is talking about it. Nobody has ever seen the Knox brothers explode like that. Some are saying you bewitched them.” 

"I am fine, Tracy," I muttered, my voice small and trembling as I opened my laptop, trying desperately to look busy. 

“They just... they got there just in time."

"They didn't just get there, Phina," Tracy hissed, leaning in closer. 

"They looked like they wanted to literally murder him. And the way Adrian held you afterward? The rumors are completely out of control. People are saying you must be sleeping with them to get that kind of royal protection."

A sharp wave of shame hit my stomach. Before I could even open my mouth to defend myself, the heavy glass double doors of the office floor were violently kicked open.

*BANG!*

The sound echoed through the entire open-plan office like a sudden gunshot. Everyone jumped in their seats.

A woman marched into the room, her chest heaving with deep, ragged breaths. She looked completely disheveled, her expensive makeup smudged across her face and her hair wildly flying in all directions. 

Her eyes were bloodshot and completely crazed with rage. I recognized her face instantly from the framed pictures that used to sit proudly on Lewis’s desk.

It was Lewis’s wife.

She scanned the rows of cubicles, her hands clenched into tight fists until her knuckles turned entirely white. 

"Where is she?!" she screamed, her voice cracking with a high, dangerous tone that made my blood run cold. 

"Where is the shameless bitch?!"

My breath caught in my throat. I froze in my seat, my muscles locking up in pure terror.

Tracy gasped softly, quickly sliding her chair backward to distance herself.

The woman’s angry gaze swept across the floor until it locked directly onto me. My pale face and wide, terrified eyes gave me away instantly. A dark, ugly sneer twisted her features, and she charged down the narrow aisle straight toward my desk.

"You!" she shrieked, slamming her heavy leather handbag onto my desk partition.

"You are the whore who ruined my entire life! You are the parasite who destroyed my family!"

"Ma'am, please," I choked out, my voice failing me as I pushed myself back against my chair, my hands shaking violently. Every single eye on the floor was glued to us. Dozens of colleagues stood up, watching the public humiliation unfold with greedy excitement.

"Don't you dare 'ma'am' me, you disgusting home-wrecker!" the wife roared, her face turning a deep, angry purple. She pointed a shaking finger directly at my face, her voice booming so loudly it vibrated through the ceiling tiles. 

"Look at her! Look at this saintly girl! On paper, she is a married woman! She has a husband at home, but she comes to this corporate office just to wag her tail and flirt with every powerful man she sees!"

A collective gasp rippled through the entire office floor.

"Wait, she is married?" someone whispered loudly from the back.

"But she told Tracy she was single yesterday!" another voice chimed in, full of deep malice.

The gossip was spreading like a wildfire, completely shredding my pride into tiny pieces. The lie I had told Tracy to protect Victor's secret life was now blowing up directly in my face in the worst way possible.

"My husband worked so hard for this company for years!" Lewis’s wife continued to scream, tears finally spilling down her smudged cheeks 

"He was a good manager! But you... you lonely, desperate slut, you couldn't keep your legs closed! You tempted him! You led him on because your own husband obviously doesn't want to touch you! And when my Lewis finally took the bait, you ran to the new billionaire owners to play the innocent victim!"

"That is not true!" I cried out, my voice breaking as the tears finally spilled over my own eyelids. 

The humiliation was a physical torture now. 

"He tried to force himself on me! He locked the door!"

"Lies!" the woman thundered, stepping even closer, her hot breath hitting my face. 

"That is enough."

The deep, rumbling command didn't just cut through the noise, it completely froze the entire room. 

The sheer authority in that voice was so heavy that even Lewis’s furious wife stopped mid-sentence, her mouth hanging wide open as she turned her head toward the executive hallway.

The double mahogany doors had opened, and the three Knox brothers walked out onto the open floor.

The atmosphere in the room instantly tightened, turning so cold it felt like ice was forming on the windows. They moved like three large, protective shadows, their steps perfectly synchronized as they walked down the aisle. 

Adrian led the way, his massive, broad shoulders tightly stretching his dark tailored suit, his jawline locked in a hard, brutal expression. Julian walked to his left, his playful smirk completely gone, his dark eyes burning with a wild, dangerous fire that made the star tattoo beneath his left eye look like a badge of war. Sebastian followed closely, his expression entirely calm, but the raw, primitive hunger to protect me was rolling off his large frame in heavy waves.

They looked like three untouchable gods entering a battlefield, completely unbothered by the corporate rules they were about to destroy.

Adrian stepped directly between me and Lewis’s wife, his towering figure completely blocking her from my sight. 

"Who gave you permission to enter our building and scream at our personal secretary?" Adrian asked, his voice deadly quiet, yet it carried to every single corner of the silent floor. 

He flashed his silver teeth in a dark, cold smile that held absolutely no warmth.

Lewis’s wife swallowed hard, her previous wild confidence suddenly faltering under his terrifying gaze. "Mr. Knox... you don't understand. This woman... she is a married fraud. She led my husband on…”

"Your husband is a rapist," Julian interrupted harshly, stepping forward until he was right in the woman's face. His large frame completely intimidated her, making her take a step backward. 

"We caught him with our own eyes trying to force himself on a defenseless woman in our copy room. If we hadn't broken that door down, he would have ruined her. We beat him because he deserved it, and we threw him in a cell because that is exactly where trash belongs."

"But she's a married woman!" the wife cried out desperately, trying to find any weapon to save her pride. 

"She has been lying to everyone! She flirts with men…”

"Your husband is also married yet he shameless threw himself at her ," Sebastian chimed. 

He stepped up beside Adrian, his dark eyes scanning the whispering crowd of employees, instantly making everyone look down at their desks in pure terror. 

"Seraphina is under the direct, personal protection of the Knox empire. Her private life does not concern this company. What does concern us is the safety and dignity of our staff."

Sebastian looked back at the trembling woman, his eyes turning cold as stone. 

"You have exactly two minutes to gather your things and exit this building before we have security drag you out in handcuffs just like your husband. And if you ever speak her name again, or spread a single rumor about her reputation, we will personally use our entire billionaire wealth to ensure your family never sees a single penny in this city again. Do you understand?"

She looked at Adrian’s locked jaw, Julian’s burning glare, and Sebastian’s cold stare. Realizing she was entirely powerless against the three giants, she let out a bitter sob, snatched her broken purse from my desk, and bolted out toward the elevators. 

The room remained completely quiet. Nobody dared to breathe.

Then they all turned to me and at the same time. 

“You, secretary, come to the office!” It was an order, not a suggestion. 

My legs shook and I could already feel my pants soak even more.
