Nicola’s POV

I walked into my office, looking forward to seeing my wife after a long and draining meeting that didn’t want to end.

I was met with a sight that made my stomach twist into knots. Riley and Noah were sitting on the couch, and Riley was laughing.

Her laughter was like music to my ears, but it was the fact that Noah was the one making her laugh that didn't sit well with me.

As I cleared my throat to announce my presence, Riley's laughter came to an abrupt end.

She turned to face me, a hint of a smile still playing on her lips. Noah, on the other hand, looked like he had been caught red-handed, his eyes darting back and forth between Riley and me.

I glared at him, huffing a groan.

Mr King drove fast as though we were in a tracker race. I wanted to tell him to slow down but somehow the thought about having him inside of me filled my head making me crave for him more. As we we pulled up the mansion, he didn’t waste time in getting out and walked to to my side helping me out. My eyes bored into his as he took my hands the electric shock running down my spine. "Thank you," I said, smiling up at him. He smiled back, his eyes crinkling at the corners. As we marched into the house taking in the greetings of his worker his grip on me became much more firm. I gulped on lump as finally reached the parlor. "I've been waiting all night to do this," he said, his voice low and husky. Before I could respond, he took me in his arms, claiming my lips in a passionate kiss. I was cut off guard but it didn’t tak

    Riley’s POVMr. King excused himself to talk to a business acquaintance. After today’s confession, I’ve been unreasonably clingy, almost like he wasn’t real and would disappear if I let him go.I let him go, allowing him to enjoy his night and celebrate his achievement, he deserved as much, and I used that as an opportunity to slip away unnoticed.The room was crowded and noisy, and I felt a sudden need for some fresh air, feeling a little bit too much suffocated.I made sure Mr. King didn’t have his attention on me, or he wouldn’t let me leave; that I was so sure of.I finally reached the French doors leading out to the poolside and slipped outside, closing the doors behind me.I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding as the cold night air brushed on my skin.I walked to the garden, relishing the sensation.I hear hush tunes as I approach the garden.I noticed two figures standing in the shadows, near the pool house. They were arguing in hushed tones, but I could tell it was a

    Riley’s POVAfter I registered what was happening, I pulled back, trying so hard to compose myself and not give in to his comfort.I needed to leave, or else I wouldn’t be able to control myself or my emotions. I didn’t want him to know how much effect it had on me seeing him kissing Monica.I tried to walk past Mr. King, who was still standing in front of my office door, his arms crossed over his chest. But he didn't budge."Excuse me," I said, trying to sound calm, but my voice trembled.My eyes were stinging with tears; I bit on my bottom lip, trying so hard not to break down, but he was making it impossible.He didn’t want to move out of my way, and that annoyed me.His gaze was blocked, more intense, and filled with so much guilt. "We should talk, Riley. What you saw wasn’t as it is, c’mon Riley, you—“I shook my head. "There's nothing to talk about. You should go back to Monica. After all, you two were enjoying each other’s company, and don’t worry about me. I think who you shou

I broke into sobs, feeling like my heart was shattering into a million pieces.Why had I trusted him? Why had I thought he was different? They were all the same, men who only cared about themselves and their desires.I felt so stupid, so naive.He used me for his own game. I should have listened to Giovanni; I shouldn’t have let Mr. King Ma’s deceptive ways get to me.After all, I wasn’t in his league; it was always Mo

    Nicolas’s POVNoah and I were in the office discussing work-related important stuff when Ryder walked in.My brows furrowed knowing I didn’t call for him, which must mean an emergency; he may have found something.“What is it, Ryder?” I asked.“It’s Giovanni,” he responds instantly.“What did the motherfucker do now?” Noah growls.He cleared his throat. "We've received intel that he's been working closely with your father, Mr. King."I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Go on."He proceeds, his expression getting darker. "It seems that your father has been secretly building a case against you, Mr. King. They're working together to take away your property and business interests.
