"The numbers in the graph do not reflect last quarter's dividends. They show some profit when, in reality, there are some losses here in this other spreadsheet." Ben, my assistant, was trying to explain the discrepancies he found out in Hayworth Pipelines' book.

After the last encounter I had with my uncle, I couldn't shake off a nagging feeling in my gut.

He sounded far too desperate to have simply lost a contract. Sure, it was a huge deal, but the company has thousands of other revenues, and it shouldn't have impacted him so much as it did. For him to come out of his hole and threaten Nina, who has nothing to do with our business, it had to be something important.

So I asked Ben to dig for some information and he found it. It was deeply hidden, but my sources managed to uncover the real numbers. My uncle had been embezzling company funds into his personal offshore account for years. It was easy for him to cover it up when profits were booming. But now, with the

    *Warning: Explicit content -CHRIS- Nina was kissing me. This time, she slanted her lips against mine as if her life depended on it. From the moment she stepped into my office looking gorgeous in a tight knee-length light cream dress, I was struck by her beauty. Her long, wavy dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, her big forest green eyes shone with a burning fury, and I wanted nothing more than to take her in my arms. But I restrained myself. Every time we've met recently, I've been the one to initiate the physical touch. This time, I had to be sure that this was what she wanted. And right now, it seemed, she desired it deeply. This kiss was nothing like the one we shared on the rooftop. That kiss was soft, tender, a glimpse into our memories. We were exploring each other, reconnecting to old perceptions. This one was the opposite. It was a blast of sensations, a whirlwind of passion and heat. My palms slipped from her waist to the curve of her

    -NINA- "I'd like to see Mr. Hayworth." I told the receptionist as I approached her desk. When Mark told me about his conversation with the client, I could barely contain my rage. That jerk! How could Chris steal my idea like that? Especially after all that smooth talk about me being an amazing architect, that sweet moment that made me let my guard down. It was all a load of c.rap. That is his M.O. He comes with his honeyed words, charming smile and unbelievable hotness, passing smoothly though my defenses. And then, he attacks. And I fall for it. Every. single. time. It doesn't help that my body has a mind of its own. I have such a strong physical response to him that it makes it almost impossible to restrain myself. But this time, he went too far. I dashed from the Triad office to the AMR Group headquarters. Thankfully, their office was not too far away from ours, and less than half an hour later, I found myself facing a young guy with short black hair that worke

    Looking at my uncle's figure sitting in front of me in the drawing room, I have never felt so small in my entire life. It doesn’t matter how old or how tall I am, deep down I’ll always be that small toddler, crying after spilling his chocolate milk, waiting for his fist to land on my face. He may not hit me anymore, as I got bigger than him. But he sure can still hurt me. And he does it as often as it pleases him. I was stupid to think I could face him. Nobody can go against Sebastian Hayworth. Especially me. "I don't care what you do to me. But please, please, leave Nina out of this. She is a good person and so are her parents. These people live an honest life. They don’t deserve this. They are already struggling with the Vineyard, mostly because the bank loan is overdue," I pleaded, my voice wavering. "I'll do whatever you want." "Stay away from her. From now on, I don't want to see her or even hear her name again. You're never contacting her, or I'll throw

    *Trigger warning: mention of self-harm ________________________________ -CHRIS- Lying down in front of the fireplace with Nina snugged against my chest, I couldn't have been happier. I wish time would stop, and we could stay here forever. I got some extra pillows and blankets, and we spent the night on the floor, as none of us felt like moving. I've been up for a while now, keeping the fire going and watching my beautiful girl sleep. Finally, after having traveled a difficult path, I've found something wonderful in my life. She stirred, making a cute moan and slowly woke up. "Good morning, sleeping beauty. How are you feeling?" I ran the back of my hand over her cheek. Her pale olive skin is softer than silk. She opened up those gorgeous forest-green eyes and smiled softly before answering me. "A little sore. In a good way. How much time do we still have before we have to come back?" I raised my arm and pushed my watch away from my leather
