Chapter 11 – The Edge of Surrender

(Sebastian 's POV)

I’d told myself I could wait.

That I could keep my distance until she understood what this life meant — what I meant.

But Ocean had a way of looking at me, like she didn’t know whether to run or pull me closer, and every damn time, I wanted to see which one she’d choose.

Tonight, I stopped caring about the answer.

She was pacing the living room, her bare feet soundless against the polished floor. The city’s lights bled through the glass walls behind her, painting her in a cold, silver glow.

“You can’t just—” she started, but her voice broke off when she saw me move.

I didn’t stop until I was in front of her, until she had to tilt her head back to meet my eyes.

“You think I don’t see it?” I asked, my voice low, almost dangerous.

Her brows knit. “See what?”

My hand came up, brushing a loose strand of hair from her face. “The way you look at me when you think I’m not watching.”

She opened her mouth to protest, but I didn’t

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 142 No One Touches My Blood (Sebastian POV)

    “Lock it down.”Victor didn’t blink when I said it. That was why he was still alive and everyone else who’d failed me wasn’t.“How tight?” he asked, already moving, already issuing silent commands through the mic curled along his jaw.I watched Ocean through the glass wall of the private suite. She was sitting up now, phone in her hand, chin lifted like she was daring the world to test her again. Even pale, even recovering, she radiated defiance.“Tighter than fear,” I said. “Nothing moves without my say.”“Yes, sir.”He turned, barking orders in clipped code. Doors sealed. Elevators frozen. Floors cleared. Cameras rerouted to a private server only I controlled.I felt it then...that low, animal hum under my skin. The thing that woke when Ocean collapsed. The thing that never slept anymore.Mateo stepped up beside me, voice careful. “Sebastian. This is extreme.”I didn’t look at him. “She fain

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 141 Safe Isn’t Silent (Ocean POV)

    “Don’t tell him.”The words slipped out of my mouth before the nurse could finish adjusting the IV line. She froze, eyes flicking from my face to the door as if Sebastian Velez might materialize through the walls simply because his name lived in the air.“Mrs. Velez...” she started gently.“Please,” I said, forcing a smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “Just… don’t tell my husband I fainted because I pushed myself. Tell him it was dehydration. Stress. Anything that doesn’t sound like weakness.”Weakness.That was the word echoing in my skull as the hospital room hummed with quiet machines and artificial calm.I lay there staring at the ceiling, its sterile white surface mocking me with its cleanliness. Safe. Silent. Too silent. The kind of silence that came after chaos, not before peace.Sebastian hated silence.The door opened softly, and my mother stepped in first...Isabel Ramirez, elegance stitched into her bone

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 1140 Father’s War (Sebastian POV)

    “Touch her again and I will end you.”The words left my mouth before anyone in the room could stop them.Silence slammed down like a loaded gun.Every man seated around the obsidian war table froze...security chiefs, intelligence brokers, old allies who’d survived bloodier wars than this one. They’d heard me threaten people before. Hell, they’d watched me destroy empires without blinking.But this?This wasn’t strategy.This was instinct.And they could feel it.Victor Alvarez...former mercenary, current head of my private security...cleared his throat carefully. “Sebastian… we need to slow this down. We don’t even know if Elio personally...”“He ordered it.”My voice was calm. That scared them more than shouting ever could.I stood at the head of the room, palms braced against the table, shoulders tight beneath my tailored jacket. The digital wall be

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 139 What the Heart Never Told (Ocean's POV)

    The world came back to me in fragments.Soft beeping.The sterile scent of hospital sheets.Muted voices outside the door.A weight on my chest that wasn’t physical, but emotional...like my soul was trying to crawl out of my own body.Then warmth.A familiar warmth.I didn’t need to open my eyes to know who it was.Sebastian.His hand was wrapped around mine, firm and desperate, like letting go would kill him. His thumb brushed my knuckles in slow, shaky circles, a touch so tender it almost hurt.“Please… wake up,” he whispered.I opened my eyes.He looked nothing like the man the world feared.His hair was a mess.His shirt wrinkled.His eyes...bloodshot, hollow, terrified...burned straight into my heart.“Seb…” My voice cracked.His head snap

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 138 The Queen’s Reckoning (Ocean's POV)

    The boardroom felt colder than any battlefield.Glass walls. Chrome chairs. Twelve men and women who built empires with their signatures. A long polished table that smelled like old money, arrogance, and the ghosts of deals my father once dominated.I stepped inside with my chin lifted, heart pounding hard enough to bruise bone.They were already watching me.Judging.Calculating.Waiting for me to break.Sebastian wasn’t in the room....this war was mine to fight. He stood outside with Lucien, securing the hall, monitoring Elio’s movements, and preparing for a counterstrike the moment this meeting ended.But for now...for this room...I was alone.Just as my father once was.Only I wasn’t the timid, confused version of myself they expected.I’d bled.I’d been hunted.I’d been betrayed by the last person I called family.And somehow, it had turned me into steel.The chair reserved for the rightful heir was empty at the head of the table. I walked to it without hesitation.A murmur sk

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 137 Contingency Plans (Sebastian's POV)

    The elevator ride to the top floor felt like a countdown.Ocean stood beside me, her knuckles tight around the laptop she refused to let go of.Her eyes were clearer now...no more disbelief, no more shock.Only fire.The woman beside me wasn’t the wounded heir anymore.She was the rightful ruler, rising.And God help the man who tried to take her throne.When the elevator doors opened, our private hallway hummed with heat and shadow. Red emergency lights blinked in quiet rhythm....my security system guiding me to the breach.“Boardroom,” I muttered. “He’s targeting the remote-access node first.”Ocean matched my stride. “Why would he go for the board before the money?”“Because money helps you win battles,” I said. “But controlling the board wins the war.”“And he wants the title,” she whispered. “He wants the seat my father saved for me.”The hurt threaded through her voice, nearly invisible...but I heard it.I always heard it.Without thinking, I reached for her hand. She let me hol
