The plan

“ And where are you coming from young lady ,her stepmother - Sandra stopped her . “Don’t you dare take another step!on your knees ,now “.

  Serena froze staring at Sandra . She couldn’t understand why she’s ready to punish her .

  “Making a scene at Jake’s place huh?trying to kill someone right ? You even want to break the engagement ? How dare you !

  Then she pulled out a long whip ,her face hard with anger , and brought down on Serena’s back multiple times . Pain shot through Serena but she bit back a scream.

  “He cheated on me “, she yelled back through gritted teeth.

  “ All men have mistresses , the marriage stands! Serena if you call of this wedding I will have no choice but to stop the health treatment of your grand parents. Am not some philanthropist that waste money.”

  At the mention of this ,Serena broke down . Her grandparents is all she had left in the whole world. 

  When she didn’t respond,Sandra thought that she has carved in . “ tomorrow you will crawl back and beg Jake as if your life depends on it and take back what you said about ending the engagement “.

  Her back ached coupled with her head injury reminding her she was trapped . Her grandparents needed treatment and she couldn’t afford to fall out with Sandra at least not yet . 

  “Fine I will apologize “she said grudgingly.

  “Good girl. If you want to get a man you must know how to get him in “Sandra said as she went to her fully convinced that Serena will do as told .

  I can’t remain like this ,powerless and at the mercy of people.if I’m going to go after someone it must be someone higher,way higher than Jake she thought .

  Just then a certain man came to mind and she made her decision. 

  Ignoring the pain in her body,she hailed a cab to Benjamin Blackwood’s place.

  Benjamin Blackwood is the richest man in the city . He is not just Jake’s uncle,but the head of the Blackwood Group ,a top bachelor on every woman’s list .one thing she knows is that Ben and jake hates each other so much and if there’s any one that would help her exert her revenge and free her from this engagement with him .

  Just then a limited -edition car stopped in front of her .Ben stepped out and Serena face lit up . This is her chance . 

  “ mr Blackwood good evening”she said with a seductive voice.

  Her gaze lingered on his crisp suit ,towering frame ,broad shoulders and lean waist . He exuded a magnetic aura ,one that can make any woman weak on her knees.

  Evening what do you want ,Ben said as she stepped into the elevator.

  Seeing he didn’t shout at her , Serena slipped into the elevator with him. When the elevator door opened he strode into the massive living room as if he owns the world.

  She hurriedly keeps up and daring the consequences she wrapped her hands round his waist. “ I think I left something here and I’m here to take it back “she said .

  Ben stiffened “ you drunk ? you think I’m your fiancé? “

  “I’m not confused at all ,I came for you “

  She locked her hands round his waist inhaling his scent ,cedar and whiskey 

  Her face heated up as she whispered “ I left my heart here with you “sliding an arm round her waist he lifted her up .

  Brushing a strand of hair away from her ear he leaned in close ,his dip voice dripping with playful menace . “ oh my , why don’t you show me what you got huh and maybe just maybe I will give you whatever you want “

  Serena’s breath hitched as Ben’s voice sent a shiver down her spine. His deep, commanding tone held both amusement and challenge, daring her to continue what she had started. He was nothing like Jake there was no empty charm or deceit in his eyes. Instead, they gleamed with dangerous curiosity, as if he were debating whether she was worth his time or just another fleeting distraction.

  She swallowed hard, her pulse racing as he held her in his arms, his grip firm yet teasing. Her fingers tightened around the fabric of his expensive suit, feeling the solid strength beneath.

  “I always get what I want,” she murmured, tilting her head slightly, her lips just inches from his.

  Ben chuckled, his breath warm against her skin. “Is that so?” He took a step forward, pressing her against the cool glass of his penthouse window. The city lights sparkled behind him, creating a breathtaking contrast to the dark intensity in his gaze.

  Serena felt her resolve harden. This wasn’t just about seduction it was about revenge. About taking back her power. If Jake had shattered her heart, she would make sure he regretted it in the worst way possible. And what better way to do it than with the one man he despised the most?

  She lifted a hand, tracing the sharp line of Ben’s jaw. “Jake doesn’t deserve the Blackwood name,” she whispered, her voice laced with bitterness. “But you? You’re the real heir. The real power.”

  Ben’s smirk deepened. “Flattery will get you nowhere, darling. But keep talking I’m curious to see where this is going.”

  Serena leaned in, her lips brushing the shell of his ear. “Help me ruin him. Help me destroy everything he cares about.”

  Ben pulled back slightly, studying her with amused intrigue. “You really hate him that much?”

  Her chest tightened. “He ruined me. Now, I want to return the favor.”

  Silence stretched between them. Then, suddenly, Ben tilted her chin up with two fingers, forcing her to meet his gaze.

  “You’re playing a dangerous game, Serena,” he murmured. “But lucky for you… I love danger.”

  Before she could react, he closed the distance, capturing her lips in a slow, searing kiss. It was nothing like Jake’s touch Ben was in complete control, every movement deliberate, calculated. He tasted of whiskey and power, of promises wrapped in sin.

  He kissed like a starving wolf ,cruel and teasing ,savoring her surrender before the kill . 

  He was dangerous,but she couldn’t resist . She held on to him tightly, her legs brushing against his side ,a breathing moan escaped her lips .

  His hands trails up her body ,pushing under her shirt to cup her soft round breast .

  His teasing touch made shudder as she let out a trembling plea “ is this good enough Mr Blackwood?”

  “Got to say you’re pretty good”he smirked.

  No I’m not ,with you it’s just an instinct “break up my engagement with your nephew and I will do anything “

  He froze his hands stilled and the once fiery moment between them ended .he yanked back from her .

  “Will you help me ?”
