Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal) Chapter 128. Ghost Protocol Ocean's POV
The city lights outside the safehouse flickered like distant fireflies, indifferent to the storm raging inside me.I sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, Sebastian’s phone clutched in my trembling hands. His entire life, it seemed, was hidden behind encrypted messages, secret operations, and unspoken truths. And now, Marcus had made it impossible to pretend otherwise.Every alert, every image, every shadow he’d ever chased… it all pointed to one thing: I was part of a war I didn’t even know existed.I scrolled through the screenshots from the security feed—the angles, the timestamps, the notes Sebastian had left in his personal log. His obsession, once suffocating and protective, now felt like a double-edged sword. Protecting me had always meant keeping me in the dark, shielding me from a truth I might not survive knowing.Yet now, I had it all laid bare before me.And it scared me.“Why didn’t you tell me?” The words escaped me before I could even stop them.I knew he wouldn’t an
Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal) Chapter 127. The Enemy Within (Sebastian POV)
The email burned in my screen like a curse.Subject: “To destroy Devereux… start with Ocean.”Attachment: Live security feed—her.Ocean, asleep on the couch in the next room, the glow of the city kissing her skin through the glass windows. Her chest rising and falling, oblivious. Peaceful. Unaware that someone was watching.And not just me.The camera angle wasn’t mine. It was external. Unauthorized. Hidden.A live feed meant a breach.Again.“Security,” I snapped into the intercom. My voice was cold steel. “Trace the signal feeding into my private system. Now.”“Yes, sir,” came the immediate reply, but I could already hear the panic. The team knew what this meant—someone inside had bypassed our highest encryption.I turned back to the monitor. My pulse was steady, but my jaw was tight enough to crack. The footage flickered slightly. Ocean stirred in her sleep, adjusting her position.And then the feed glitched—A shadow crossed the frame.“Don’t you dare,” I muttered under my breath,
Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal) chapter 126 The Enemy Within
Sebastian POV They say betrayal hits hardest when it comes from the ones who said they’d never bleed you.I’d built empires, erased rivals, rewritten stock markets—But betrayal?That always felt personal.And today… it was.The private conference room at Velez Devereux Global was sterile—glass, steel, precision lighting. The kind of place where fortunes were decided with a flick of a pen.Now, it would witness something else.“Bring him in,” I said.Two security agents dragged Rafael Montoya inside, wrists restrained, face pale but defiant. His eyes darted across the room until they landed on me.Then he tried a smile.Always the lawyer. Always pretending composure.“Sebastian,” he said smoothly, though his voice cracked. “This is unnecessary. We can talk—”I slammed the file on the table.The sound echoed.Hard.Final.“Talk?” I said. “You sold proprietary data to Marcus Hale. You compromised our security protocols. You jeopardized my—” I caught myself. “—our company.”His smile f
Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal) Chapter 125 Rush Of Revelation
(Ocean POV)Morning came too early.I didn’t sleep—not because of exhaustion, but because the rush of revelation kept my mind wired. Betrayal had a particular flavor: metallic, cold, sharp on the tongue. And I could taste it in every sip of coffee I took as I reviewed the files again.The traitor wasn’t an outsider.It was someone in our circle.Someone Sebastian trusted enough to sit three seats away during every board meeting.I stared at the encrypted message I had decrypted hours ago.Rafael Montoya.Chief Legal Advisor. Loyal to Velez for seven years. Until, apparently, Marcus offered a deal sweeter than loyalty.I closed the laptop. My pulse was steady. My hands didn’t shake.This wasn’t rage.It was clarity.My father once said, “There’s no need to shout when you’re holding the detonator.”I understood now.I texted Sebastian's assistant to schedule a 5 consultation” that afternoon.Code for: a controlled confrontation.By noon, I was in Sebastian’s private office—floor-to-ceil
Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal) Chapter 124 The Art of War
(Ocean's POV)Power doesn’t always roar.Sometimes, it whispers through the sound of heels against marble floors, the calm tone of a woman who no longer needs to raise her voice to be heard.That’s me now—Ocean Ramirez-Velez, the daughter of a man whose name once made tycoons flinch and competitors stutter. For so long, I ran away from his shadow, thinking I was escaping his legacy. But today, I realized—I was only meant to rebuild it.I stood in the boardroom of the new headquarters, sunlight slicing through the glass walls, landing on the blueprint spread before me. The scent of fresh ink and black coffee filled the air. Around me sat men who used to think I was just Sebastian's beautiful distraction.Now they take notes when I speak.“Gentlemen,” I said, adjusting the tablet on the table, “the key to taking down Veyron isn’t brute force—it’s patience. We let them think they’ve won. Then we pull the rug from under their empire.”Silence. Eyes flicked toward Sebastian, waiting for hi
Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal) Chapter 123 Beginning Of Something Unstoppable
Chapter 91 – Awakening Fire (Ocean POV)The storm broke at night.By the time we reached Dock 7, the sky had turned the color of bruised steel. The waves hit the pier in rhythmic fury, echoing the pulse hammering in my chest.Marcus Hale was the kind of ghost that refused to stay buried — and I was done running from ghosts.Sebastian parked the car a few blocks away. His jaw was locked, his eyes burning with quiet rage as he watched me check my comms device and tuck a small blade into my boot.“I still don’t like this,” he said, voice clipped. “He knows how to bait you.”I looked at him — really looked at him. The control, the precision, the need to keep me safe even if it meant caging me. It wasn’t arrogance. It was fear — the kind born from loving too deeply.“I need to do this, Sebastian” I said softly. “For my father. For me. For us.”That last word caught him off guard. His eyes softened for a moment, before he stepped closer, his hand finding the back of my neck — gentle but fi
