(Damian’s POV)

My chronic insomnia ensured I didn't catch a wink of sleep for the rest of the night. By the time the sun began to rise between the Chicago skyscrapers, I was already up, taking a freezing shower to wash away the exhaustion and dressing in a fresh, tailored suit. I passed through the kitchen before locking myself in my office and found Judith organizing the first tasks of the day.

Judith had worked for my family for ten years; she knew me better than most and understood I wasn't

  • Forced To Marry: Claimed By The Obsessed Billionaire    CHAPTER 14: Wax and Warm Water

    (Damian’s POV)I walked over to the iron mount on the wall and pulled down a long, red candle. Bringing my lighter to the wick, I watched the flame spark to life and begin to melt the top layer of wax, turning it into a thick, glossy, smoking liquid. I walked back over to Helen. She was still standing there, trembling, wearing nothing but her light pink lingerie, her buttocks and thighs bearing the crimson marks of my spanking."Lie on your back on the rug. Now," I commanded, my voice cold and leaving no room for argument.Helen stared up at me, her green eyes wide with terror, but she obeyed slowly, lowering herself onto the floor. Her skin, an almost feverish shade of white, contrasted dramatically with the dark leather of the room. I tilted the burning candle over her body, letting the first drop of hot red wax fall directly onto the curve of her hip.Helen jerked violently, arching her back. A sharp shriek ripped from her throat, followed by a breathless whimper of pain."It’s bur

  • Forced To Marry: Claimed By The Obsessed Billionaire   CHAPTER 13: The Taste of Dominance

    (Damian’s POV)I locked the heavy wooden door of the red room from the outside. The sharp click of the deadbolt echoed like a death sentence inside the suffocating, dark-leather-lined space. Helen remained frozen near the entrance. Her chin was held high, her jaw clenched, her face locked in a mask of false bravery. But the heavy heaving of her voluptuous chest and the subtle tremor in her shoulders betrayed the raw panic trying to consume her from the inside out.I approached her without rushing, letting my massive silhouette engulf her entirely, trapping her against the wall."What are you going to do to me?" she asked. Her voice tried to come out steady, but it cracked at the very end, her green eyes locked onto mine."I am going to discipline you, Helen," I replied, my voice raspy and low, barely a growl against her face. "The first lesson you are going to learn today is that this body belongs to me. The only person who has the right to touch you, to hurt you, or to do anything to

"I want to leave a clear directive for everyone in this penthouse. Helen is the mistress of this house now, and she is to be treated with the utmost respect. Find out what foods she likes, ensure she has everything she needs, and above all, treat her well. I won't tolerate anyone failing her."Judith nodded with an understanding look, knowing this was my way of providing, even if I didn't know how to express it in words. I

  • Forced To Marry: Claimed By The Obsessed Billionaire   CHAPTER 11: Punishment on the Desk

    (Damian’s POV)My patience wore entirely thin. I grabbed Susan by the arm with extreme force, hauling her body off the floor without a shred of gentleness. Grabbing a tissue from the desk, I quickly wiped down the mahogany surface and tossed the paper into the trash. I turned my attention back to the redhead. Wrapping my hand firmly around her throat, I pinned her upright against the desk while using my other hand to squeeze her breast with brutal force.Susan let out a loud groan of mixed pain and arousal, but I wasn't there to be gentle. I didn't make love; I fucked hard, discharging my aggression and rage. I slammed her body facedown onto the mahogany desk, forcing her to bend over. With a swift, brutal jerk, I shoved my hands beneath her red dress, gripped the sides of her panties, and ripped the thin fabric apart without an ounce of mercy.I lifted one of Susan’s legs, propping her foot onto the desk to fully expose her intimacy. Her lips were thin and tight. I slid my middle fin

  • Forced To Marry: Claimed By The Obsessed Billionaire   CHAPTER 10: The Master of the Pack

    (Damian’s POV)The silence inside the high-rise Chicago penthouse was almost absolute. I glanced at the gold watch on my wrist: it was past one in the morning. The farce of a marriage to the Rossi bloodline had finally been sealed at the altar, and the substitute bride was exactly where she belonged—confined and under my roof. Helen was young, untouched, and possessed an insolence that irritated me as much as it turned me on, but I had established the rules. A three-day truce would be more than enough time for her voluptuous body to process the heavy weight of my name.I walked into my office, loosening the knot of my dark tie. I sat behind the heavy mahogany desk, surrounded by financial reports and screens monitoring the operations of Vance Global Holdings and the movements of our syndicate. My chronic insomnia would offer me no respite tonight. I needed to organize the transition and corporate merger paperwork before dawn.The soft sound of the office door opening without warning m

    CHAPTER 9: The Ownership of Pain (Helen’s POV)The rhythmic, steady beeps of a heart monitor were the first sounds that dragged me back to reality. I opened my eyes slowly, but the harsh white light from the ceiling made my head throb with brutal violence. Letting out a low groan, I brought my hand to my forehead, feeling a thick layer of gauze wrapped around it. I tried to sit up in the adjustable hospital bed, but a massive, heavy hand pressed down on my shoulder, forcing me back against the sheets."Stay down," Damian Vance’s deep, cold voice echoed from beside me.I turned my head and found him sitting in an armchair, his arms crossed and those same gélid blue eyes locked onto me. The sheer panic from the memory of the accident hit me like lightning."What... what happened?" My voice came out weak, scratching against my throat."Do you have a death wish, Helen?" he asked, his tone calm but laced with a dangerous, contained fury. "You were sideswiped by a car while running through
