Ocean's POV

The hospital had grown quiet by late afternoon. The hushed whispers of nurses and the distant hum of medical machines gave a false sense of security. I should have felt safe here, with Sebastian’s vigilant presence just outside the door. But unease prickled at the back of my neck like the faintest whisper of danger. Something wasn’t right.

I had been tending to Paul, checking his vitals and smoothing the blankets around his frail form, when a small envelope slid under the door. M

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 155 Debt Collector (Sebastian POV)

    “You owe me.”The man across the table doesn’t even try to hide his irritation.“Funny,” he mutters, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. “I remember it the other way around.”I don’t smile.This isn’t a conversation.It’s a reckoning.“You remember wrong,” I say calmly.The private lounge is dim, isolated, soundproofed. The kind of place where deals are made quietly and debts are collected without witnesses. He chose it thinking it would give him control.He forgets something.I don’t walk into rooms I don’t already own.Mateo stands a few feet behind me, silent but present. Victor is somewhere unseen. Always unseen. That alone should have told him how this would go.“You’re pushing this too far, Sebastian,” he says, leaning back like he still believes he has leverage. “The old agreements don’t apply anymore.”“They do when I say they do.”His jaw tightens.“That’s not how this works.”I tilt my head slightly.“It i

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 154 Lioness Rising (Ocean POV)

    “You think I can’t handle them?”Victor doesn’t answer immediately.He just watches me the way he always does when he’s assessing risk instead of people. Cold. Precise. Measuring every breath, every blink, every shift in posture like I’m not his boss’s wife but a variable he needs to calculate.“I think,” he finally says, voice controlled, “they will not underestimate you again.”I tilt my head slightly.“That wasn’t the question.”His gaze sharpens.“No,” he agrees. “It wasn’t.”Silence stretches between us, thick with something unspoken. Something he doesn’t want to say and I already know.Good.Because I don’t need reassurance.I need honesty.“I don’t want them to underestimate me,” I continue, stepping closer, heels echoing against the polished floor of the private training room Sebastian insisted be built after the last incident. “I want them to fear me.”Victor’s expression does not change.But something in his eyes does

    “Say that again.”Mateo doesn’t move. Doesn’t soften it. Doesn’t try to cushion the blow like most people would when they realize they’re about to hand me something explosive.“She’s a target now,” he repeats, voice steady. “Not just Ocean. The child.”Something in my chest locks.Not fear.Not panic.Something colder.Something lethal.The room goes silent in that way it always does right before something breaks. My office overlooks the entire city, glass walls, controlled light, everything built to project dominance. But right now, it feels too small.Too contained for what’s rising inside me.“Who confirmed it?” I ask, my voice low enough that it almost sounds calm.Victor answers from the side, already stepping forward like he knows this isn’t a conversation. This is escalation.“Intercepted communication from one of the dormant cells,” he says. “Encrypted. Routed through three dead channels. But the intent was clear.”I don’t

    “You knew… didn’t you?”The words leave my mouth before I can soften them, before I can dress them in anything less than accusation.My mother doesn’t flinch.She stands by the floor to ceiling window like she always does when she wants control of a conversation. Back straight. Chin lifted. Hands loosely clasped like she is attending a gala instead of being cornered by her own daughter.City lights spill across her face, turning her into something almost untouchable. Untouchable has always been her favorite armor.“I knew pieces,” Isabel finally says, her voice smooth as silk and twice as dangerous.Pieces.I laugh, but there is no humor in it. Just sharp edges. Just something cracking inside my chest that I can no longer pretend is strength.“Pieces?” I step closer, heels clicking against the marble floor like a countdown. “Our family was destroyed. Dad died believing it was business betrayal. You let me believe that my whole life. And now you are te

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 151 Bleeding Threads (Sebastian POV)

    “You’re telling me they’re still alive?” Victor doesn’t blink.“Yes.” One word. Flat. Certain.Unacceptable.I lean back in my chair slowly, fingers steepled under my chin, eyes locked on the data flickering across the screen in front of us. Financial trails. Ghost accounts. Shell companies that should have died years ago.But they didn’t. They evolved.Like parasites that learned how to survive after the host tried to kill them.“How long?” I ask.Mateo exhales, running a hand through his hair.“Hard to say,” he admits. “They went dark after we dismantled the main network. No noise. No movement. We assumed the remaining cells either scattered or died off.”“Assumptions get people killed,” I murmur.Silence.Not offended.Because they know I’m right.I stand, slow and deliberate, the weight of something heavier than anger settling into my chest.This isn’t just loose ends. This is rot. Deep. Hidden.Waiting.“And now?” I ask.Victor steps closer, tapping the screen.“They’re feeding ag

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 150 If I Fall (Ocean POV)

    “Don’t you dare choke another man in my name.”My voice sliced through the boardroom before the doors even stopped swinging.Sebastian’s hand was still fisted in Marcus Hale’s collar. Marcus’s shoes barely touched the ground. Papers were everywhere. A chair lay tipped over. The air smelled like expensive cologne and violence.Sebastian turned slowly.And God.His eyes.They weren’t calm. They weren’t strategic.They were furious.Not business-furious.Personal.“Ocean,” he breathed, like he didn’t know if he should pull me close or lock me away.Marcus coughed violently. “Your husband has lost his mind—”Sebastian slammed him back against the wall.“Say. Her. Name. Again.”My heart slammed against my ribs.This wasn’t theatrics.This wasn’t intimidation.This was a man on the edge of doing something irreversible.“Sebastian!” I snapped.That did it.He froze.His jaw flexed so hard I thought his teeth would crack. Then, slowly, deliberately, he released Marcus.Marcus collapsed, gaspi
