LOGINChloe Miller never meant to fall for him. It was supposed to be a temporary home. A simple job and nothing more. But Harvey Fletcher is everything Chloe should stay away from—billionaire CEO, devoted father, and her father’s closest friend. Living under the same roof and working at his side, desire becomes impossible to ignore. Every glance lingers too long. Every touch threatens ruin. And every night, they cross the same lines they swore they would never. What begins as restraint turns into stolen kisses, whispered confessions, and an affair that can't be contained. Some secrets are meant to stay hidden. But the most dangerous ones live in the same house… and sleep in the same bed.

Yet the closer they got to his office, the more she feared he would. He didn't say it often, but she knew Harvey trusted her more than his own daughter. And that knowledge made it only worse.She could have stopped the party, but she didn't. Because somewhere along the line, she'd told herself it would be harmless. “Close the door behind you.”Harvey's voice was low and strained.Chloe obeyed, pushing the door shut with a soft click. When she turned, she froze at the sight of him.Harvey had his back to her, shrugging out of his shirt. Her breath caught. But then he turned, and her heart dropped to her stomach.There was a thick bandage wrapped around his side. It was stained through with blood that Chloe wondered how his shirt had remained clean.“You’re hurt,” she whispered, rushing forward
Chloe dashed up the stairs as fast as her little feet could carry her. Her heart raced as she swerved through the crowd of people.Down in the living room, the music continued to play, loud and careless, with no one controlling it.The hallway was quiet. They had restricted the party to just the swimming pool and the four corners of the rooms downstairs.Regardless, there were a few couples lurking around the hallways with their tongues buried in each other's mouths.“Rachel!” Chloe called, her voice sharp and loud.She didn't get a response. But on getting close to her room, Chloe found its door slightly open. “Must run in the family,” she whispered and pushed it open.Rachel stood at the edge of the bed. She was alive, but shaken. A guy stood in front of her; it was her boyfriend. But something about how close he was standing to her felt different. His hand was on her wrist, his grip visibly tightening as Rachel tried to wriggle herself free.“Let go of me,” Rachel snapped again.“
Chloe spent the rest of the day getting to know Harvey’s staff and attending meetings by his side. It was exhausting, a life moving faster than anything she was familiar with. The constant pleasantries, the polite smiles, the kind words and the constant lustful stare she got from a member of the company board. By the time they got home, she was exhausted and only wanted to fall onto her bed and surrender to the sweet embrace of sleep. She stepped into the house first, slipping off her heels at the door. Her body ached in places she had never thought possible, and this was only her first day. Harvey walked in shortly after her, his phone pressed to his ear. He had been on the call since they left the office, but only now dropped it when Rachel's voice came from the living room. “No business calls, Dad!” He let out a breath and tucked his phone back in his pocket. Rachel appeared a second later, beaming with contagious brightness, as always. She wrapped her arms around Harvey,
Chloe stood in front of the door to Harvey's office. Her palms were sweating, and her toes curled inside her shoes.For the fourth time since she got there, she raised a hard to knock on the door, and this time she did. The knock was soft, but loud enough to announce her presence.The secretary's desk outside his office was empty. Misfiled documents were littered across the surface of the table, and an untouched cup of coffee sat there, forgotten beside them.“Come in,” she heard his voice from inside the office.She stepped in, took a few steps forward until she stood across from him, the table being the only barrier between them.Harvey didn't look up to her. He was head buried in work, his table in more mess than that which belonged to his secretary. He lifted papers carefully from the table, eyes scanning for something surely important, and when he couldn't find it, he tossed the documents back on his table and slumped into his chair.Chloe watched as he took a moment to gather hi
