And when my eyes met his, my stomach twisted again.

Braxton stood in the hallway, one hand in his pocket, his eyes sharp and unreadable. The entire office was silent except for my mother’s voice echoing through the walls. She was still shouting, her face red, her hair sticking to her forehead like she’d just come from a fight.

“Who the hell are you?” she demanded, glaring at him like she owned the place.

His expression didn’t change. “I should be asking you the same thing.”

“I’m this bitch’s mother!” she said, slapping her palm against her chest. “The ungrateful daughter who can’t even answer my calls or send money to the woman who gave her life!”

A few people gasped quietly. I could feel everyone’s eyes burning into my back. My heart pounded so hard it hurt.

“Mom, please,” I whispered, my throat tight. “Not here. Let’s go.”

But she ignored me completely. “Oh, now you want to act respectful?” She turned to the small crowd of workers watching from their desks. “She’s been pretending to

    And when my eyes met his, my stomach twisted again.Braxton stood in the hallway, one hand in his pocket, his eyes sharp and unreadable.

    I couldn’t focus on a damn thing all morning.Every time I tried to type another sentence, my mind went straight back to what happened in his office. His voice, his touch, the way his fingers—God. I rubbed my face and groaned quietly, trying to push the thoughts out of my head. I was supposed to be working, not replaying that scene like some kind of pervert.“Snap out of it, Rosie,” I muttered under my breath.I straightened in my seat, cracked my knuckles, and focused on the spreadsheet in front of me. I even made it a whole thirty seconds before the phone rang.I rolled my eyes. I already knew who it was.I picked up the receiver, trying to sound professional. “Yes, sir?”“Come to my office. Now.” His voice was calm, deep, and irritatingly smooth.I bit my tongue before saying what I really wanted to say. Instead, I forced out, “Okay, sir.”The moment I hung up, I slammed the receiver down hard enough to make it thud. “Asshole,” I muttered, pushing my chair back.I stood, brushed d

    I walked into the company lobby already exhausted, clutching my coffee like it was the only reason to keep breathing. Another day of surviving my cocky boss. Another day of pretending his stupid smirk didn’t make my pulse do weird things.The elevator doors were about to close when a large hand stopped them. My stomach dropped before I even looked up.Braxton stepped inside, his tall frame cutting through the air like he owned it. Well… technically, he did.Perfect. Just what I needed.He looked maddeningly calm, all dark suit and quiet confidence. I muttered a curse under my breath.“Good morning, sir,” I managed, sipping my coffee to avoid looking directly at him.The silence stretched. Then his reflection in the mirrored wall shifted closer. I froze when his arm lifted, caging me between his body and the cool metal. His cologne was warm and sharp, and suddenly breathing didn’t feel like something my body remembered how to do.My voice came out lower than I wanted. “What are you do

    Aiden leaned back in his chair, a lazy grin spreading across his face. “So, Rosie… how are you surviving being this bastard’s secretary?”I blinked. “Excuse me?”“Don’t act shy now,” he said, chuckling as he tilted his glass toward Braxton. “Man’s impossible to work with. You deserve a raise just for showing up every day.”I smirked. “You’re not wrong about that.”Braxton shot Aiden a look, his voice calm but sharp. “Careful.”Aiden only laughed harder. “See what I mean? Man’s got the patience of a ticking bomb.”I couldn’t help it, I laughed too. For a moment, it felt good to laugh at Braxton instead of wanting to strangle him. But when I glanced his way, his gaze was already on me, steady and unreadable. My laugh died instantly.He leaned back in his seat, one arm draped casually across the chair, and said, “Are you done?”“Not yet,” I muttered under my breath, earning a snort from Aiden.Aiden waved for the waiter. “Let’s get something to drink before your boss here explodes.”“I’m

    The alarm went off, loud and annoying. I groaned and rolled over before finally dragging myself out of bed. The floor felt cold under my feet as I walked to the bathroom. A hot, steamy shower helped clear my head, and by the time I was rubbing lotion on my skin, I already knew today was going to be hell.After brushing my hair, I started my skincare routine, humming softly to keep my mind off Braxton. Then I opened my wardrobe and stared at the rows of clothes. I needed something that would annoy him, but still keep me from getting fired. My fingers slid across hangers until they stopped on a navy-blue fitted blazer dress that stopped mid-thigh, sharp at the shoulders, and cinched at the waist. Paired with sheer black tights and pointed heels, it was bold enough to piss him off but still professional enough to survive the day. Perfect.I put it on, curled my hair into soft waves, and let it fall. After a little makeup, I checked the clock, it was exactly 9 a.m. Just as I picked up my

    My heart was pounding in my chest, so loud I could hear it echo in my ears. I tried to steady my breath, but it wasn’t working. He was too close. Way too close. I forced myself to lift my chin, even though every nerve in my body screamed at me to step back.“Are you that much of a pervert,” I said, voice low but shaking slightly, “to the point where you even follow me to the bathroom?”His jaw tightened, eyes darkening for a split second before his hand shot out and grabbed my waist. My breath caught as he pulled me flush against his chest, my palms instinctively pressing against him to keep some distance, but he didn’t move an inch.“Braxton—” I tried to speak, but then he leaned down, his breath hot against my ear.“I came to check up on my future wife,” he murmured, voice calm but dangerously close.I froze. My brain went blank for a second. His words sank in, heavy and deliberate.Future wife?His hand slid up my back slightly, just enough to make my knees weaken. Then he lifted m
