    Chapter 30: Ruling The Lion's Den STELLA I walked into my father’s office after wrestling with the question of whether he even deserved my time. I knew the answer, yet I pushed myself to see him. Rhys had tried to talk me out of it after I told him about Marcus's invitation but I insisted. I wanted to see him and listen to the lies he'd tell again. Every step down the corridor to his office felt heavier than the last. Heads turned. Conversations dipped into whispers. I caught fragments of my name floating through the air like smoke. His secretary looked up as I passed, eyes wide, lips parting as if she wanted to stop me. She didn’t. Good. Because nothing would have stopped me. My fingers curled around the handle. The metal felt cold… almost warning. I pushed the door open. He came into view, dropp

    Chapter 29: The Underlying Desire: Revenge, Lust, Meaning. STELLA I lost my mind again—for the same man I'd stayed away from, for two good months. It looked like it was simple but God knew it was the hardest thing for me. Even as I had stayed away, to protect my sanity and face, I had spent each day digging up a thousand and one reasons not to give him attention. At the guesthouse, I hadn't told him when Sophia came banging on the door, asking what was between us. She was his girlfriend but I'd smirked at her that day. “Nothing. What kind of girlfriend would suspect her boyfriend is cheating?" I hated her. But I hated him even more, for the things he kept away from me. Right as soon as I returned from the gym yesterday, I headed for a shower but before the water ran, my phone rang. I carefully stepped out of the bat

    Chapter 28 :A Sucker For You RHYS The next day was a bright Saturday. I hadn't slept all night, I stayed up. She wouldn't leave my mind, even as I tried to stroll around my house. My mind was crowded with thoughts— but I had hope. Somehow, I had realized I couldn't take forever to make amends. She still had me in mind. I watched her jog out of the guesthouse in yoga pants and a sports bra. She was probably headed to the gym. I didn't think twice before dashing out of my compound in a gym wear and headed to the same gym down the street. It was an estate gym, obviously filled with many celebrities, politicians and people of high class who loved like normals among those of their kind. My stomach twisted at the thought of her being exposed to those kind of people. At a freaking gym. I jogged into the gym, few minutes after she jogged in. In my fiv

    Chapter 27: Reassurance And Distance RHYSTomorrow was going to make it two good months since Stella gave me even the tiniest form of attention and funny enough, she didn't seem to care either. Guilt had gotten the best of me. A whole lot had been on my table since my last call with Shawn, my Father's late friend, one of the members of the board of committees at the A.D Group of Businesses. I hated how she ignored me like I meant nothing. Just so I could at least get a chance to talk to her, I'd gone to see Cassian a couple of times in the last month. I'd walked into the academy, without solid reasons and every one of those times, she saw me. She either turned away or pretended like I didn't exist at all. I walked into the A.D headquarters, my driver had dropped me off. I'd just returned to duty, two months ago. Reporters, paparazzi, and the press flashed their cameras at me, the air filled with shut

    Chapter 26 RHYS Two weeks and a day. That was how long it'd been since Stella and I last talked. The morning I dropped her off at the academy. She no longer allowed me to give her morning or evening rides, or respond to chats, or even give me attention. She avoided me in every manner. I begged Sophia to get lost but she insisted on staying, for reasons I couldn't fight against. “We have a deal, remember?" Sophia flashed her eyes at me. My chest tightened, she was right. I couldn't breach it. A deal. "Yes, but—” "There are no buts, Rhys” She cut me. "Canada is not so different from London.” I moved closer to the railings on the rooftop, allowing the breeze blow through my armless top. “Then, I'm no longer interested in the company. Do whatever you want with it!" I flung my hands in the air, my tone already giving up on the argument.

    Chapter 25: Twisted Connections. STELLA Before I could react, he stroked my pussy with his fingers. My eyes rolled backwards in pleasure, as I bit down every moan. He touched my pebbled nipples, smiling with his drowsy eyes. For. The. Love. Of. God. Do it already. Ple— “How many can you take for me, Blaze?" His rustily deep voice owned every part of me already. I dripped wet for this man who was taking too long. "Ple—please, Rhys” My eyes almost watered. My body requested for his fingers deep inside of me. His gaze questioned me, like he wanted me to ask. I pushed embarrassment away and begged for it, shutting my eyes. I gave in. "Please, finger me. Pl—” I hadn't finished begging before he thrust two fingers inside of me. He didn't let me beg before he gave in. His fingers filled my pussy, thick and
