Sebastian's POV

It was a dangerous game. My obsession wasn’t just growing—it was evolving. I didn’t only want her body, though every brush of her skin against mine set fire to my blood. I wanted her surrender. Her trust. Her acknowledgment that she was mine, whether she wanted it or not.

But beneath that hunger, a darker fear clawed at me.

What if I scared her away?

I wasn’t gentle. I wasn’t tender. My version of love—if I could call it that—was possessive, consuming, violent in its int

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 185 Defining The Narrative (Ocean POV)

    “The world doesn't care about the truth of how we survived, Sebastian... they only care about the aesthetic of our victory.”I stood in front of the vanity, adjusting a diamond earring that caught the sharp morning light. Through the reflection, I watched Sebastian leaning against the doorframe of the dressing room. He looked like a man trapped between two worlds... his dark suit was tailored to perfection, yet his hand was resting habitually near the small of his back, where he usually kept his piece. The war was over, but the muscle memory remained. We were preparing for the global press conference at the Volkov...Velez headquarters, the moment where we would officially pivot from shadow players to public icons.“The aesthetic of our victory is currently being managed by three different PR firms and a legal team that costs more than a small country’s GDP,” Sebastian said, his voice dropping into that low, possessive rumble. He moved toward me, his reflection growing larger and more

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 184 The Future Is Double (Sebastian POV)

    “You’re telling me that after fifteen years of controlling global variables, I’ve missed the most important detail of my own bloodline, Ocean?”I dropped to one knee on the Persian rug of our bedroom, my hands still gripping her ankles. The silk of her dress pooled around her feet like a silver tide. I didn’t look up immediately because the weight of her question was currently reconfiguring every tactical priority in my head. The North Basin project, the board’s dissent, the lingering shadow of Marcus Hale... they all suddenly felt like background noise in a frequency I was no longer tuned to.“I’m telling you that Dr. Riva confirmed two heartbeats this morning, Sebastian... and if you keep gripping my ankles like that, I’m going to need a specialist for circulation, not just a midwife.”I released her instantly, my palms flat against the floor as I stood up. I looked at her, searching her face for the punchline, for the strategic irony she used to deflect tension. But there was nothi

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 183 Building Forward (Ocean POV)

    “You’re looking at the blueprints of the old Ramirez shipyard as if you intend to resurrect the dead, Ocean... and the board members are already sweating through their tailored suits.”I didn't turn away from the floor...to...ceiling glass window of the executive suite. The reflection of my mother, Isabel, was sharp against the backdrop of the city skyline. She was elegant, composed, and currently holding a glass of chilled water as if it were a weapon of war. I adjusted the drape of my silk blazer over my growing bump, feeling the familiar, grounding weight of the future kicking against my ribs.“Resurrection is a messy word, Mother,” I said, my voice steady, carrying the resonance of a woman who had stopped asking for permission months ago. “I prefer the term reclamation. My father didn't just build ships there. He built a gateway for international trade that bypasses the syndicate...controlled ports in the south. Reopening it isn't just about nostalgia. It’s about ensuring that the

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 182 The Silence Of Victory (Sebastian POV)

    “You’re staring at the wall as if you’re waiting for it to bleed, Sebastian... and frankly, it’s creeping out the house staff.”Ocean’s voice sliced through the heavy, stagnant air of the study. I didn't look up from the monitors. The screens were a monotonous grid of green checkmarks... security feeds showing nothing but empty perimeters, bank ledgers showing static balances, and the internal servers of Volkov...Velez running at a chillingly perfect efficiency. There were no alerts. No incoming threats. No encrypted pings from Mateo about a breach in the harbor. Marcus Hale was in a cell. The Syndicate was a memory.“The silence is too loud, Ocean,” I said, finally turning my chair. I rubbed my thumb over the edge of my jaw, feeling the slight stubble I hadn't bothered to shave. “Everything is exactly where it should be. The transition to the new legal framework is complete. Victor reported zero movement from the remaining splinter cells in the last forty...eight hours. It’s unnatura

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 181 We’re Still Standing (Ocean POV)

    “You’re telling me Marcus Hale is still breathing because you want the optics of a courtroom, or because you’ve lost your edge, Sebastian?”I didn't turn around to look at him as I spoke. I stayed rooted in front of the floor to ceiling glass in the master suite... a window that overlooked the sprawling, fog...choked valley of Sintra. The silence in the room was heavy, a physical pressure against my eardrums that felt far more violent than the roar of the storm we had just survived. The internal audit had been the final move to sanitize our world, but Marcus Hale’s betrayal was a poison that didn't care about clean ledgers. He had weaponized our past to freeze the Ramirez legacy, and my blood was boiling with a cold, calculated heat.“He’s breathing because a dead whistleblower creates a martyr, and we need a villain,” Sebastian’s voice came from the doorway, low and vibrationally steady. “If he dies tonight, the Attorney General assumes the Halloway files are real. If he lives to see

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 180 The Final Audit (Sebastian POV)

    “The ink is dry on every divestment, Ocean... if the regulators want to dig, they’ll only find a cemetery of clean books.”I stood in the center of the command hub at the Sintra estate, the glow from twenty high definition monitors reflecting off the glass surface of the boardroom table. Mateo was leaning against the far wall, his arms crossed, looking like he hadn't slept since the Ministry trial ended. On the screens, the final algorithms were finishing their sweep of Volkov...Velez assets. We were purging the shadows. Every shell company, every off...shore ledger, and every tactical slush fund was being dissolved or converted into transparent, taxable capital. It was a lobotomy of the empire I had spent a decade building, and yet, watching the red lines turn to green felt like shedding a lead suit.Ocean walked into the room, her silhouette sharp against the morning light. She didn't look like a woman who had just spent hours setting boundaries for our marriage. She looked like the

    (Sebastian's POV)My fists clenched, nails biting into my palms. “You son of a bitch,” I growled to the night. --- Back inside, I tore through my phone, dialing one number after another.

    Sebastian’s POV The silence hit me first. When Ocean stormed out of my hospital room, she didn’t slam the door. She didn’t curse, didn’t throw something at me like I half-expected. She just… left. And somehow, that was worse. I sat there

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 67 Captors

    Back at the hospital, is Sebastian. At that exact moment—I could almost feel it—the hospital doors slid open again, and Sebastian stepped out into the night. His jaw would be tight, his eyes hunting for me. And then he’d see them. The papers. Scattered on the floor like fragments of my trust.

    ( Ocean's POV) “Then why hide it?” Tears blurred my vision, hot and relentless. “Why couldn’t you trust me with the truth if what you feel is as real as you claim?” He flinched at that. For once, Sebastian wasn’t the untouchable CEO, the man who owned every room he walked into. He was just a man
