Chapter 95 caught in it

The faint hum of the city outside barely registered as Ocean opened her eyes. The safehouse was quiet—eerily quiet—and the sterile white walls made her feel smaller, more fragile, than she had ever remembered. Her body ached in places she didn’t even know could ache, every muscle screaming from hours of fear and being forcibly restrained. She blinked, adjusting to the dim light filtering through the thin curtains, and realized with a jolt that she was breathing freely, untouched for the first time in what felt like forever.

And yet, the relief didn’t come. Not fully.

She could still feel the phantom grip of the rival CEO’s men on her arms, the sound of the van’s tires on wet asphalt, the shadow of hands she never wanted touching her again. Her throat tightened, a lump forming as memories replayed in her mind, vivid and cruel. This is supposed to be safe, she thought, but even in this haven, her chest felt like it was caged.

A soft knock at the door startled her. “Ocean?” It was Pa

  • 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

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 136 The Thief in the Bloodline (Sebastian's POV)

    The war-room lights didn’t flicker by accident.They pulsed very rapid, coded, a security alert coming from a system I built myself.A system no one should be able to breach.A system that protected only two things:My empire.And Ocean’s inheritance.My jaw locked so tightly I felt the tension crawl up my neck.“Someone’s inside my offshore servers,” I said, my voice slow, low, deadly. “No...inside yours, Ocean. Your father’s dormant accounts.”Ocean whipped toward me, eyes wide. “What? How...”Lucien stepped closer, expression unreadable. “Then the traitor isn’t just after you. They’re trying to cripple her before she even stands.”Ocean’s confusion dissolved into fury that's beautiful, sharp, righteous fury. “Who the hell has access to my father’s files except us?”“Someone who was waiting,” I muttered, pacing toward the security console. “Someone who knew exactly when you would rediscover your legacy. Someone who anticipated your move.”Ocean inhaled sharply. “Marcus.”“No,” Lucie

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 134 The Heir Returns (Ocean POV)

    For a moment, no one moved.The man in the elevator stood perfectly still, hands in his pockets like he owned the place. Like he belonged here. Like he had the right to stand across from Sebastian Velez and tilt his head with a smirk that carried ten years of buried fury.I felt Sebastian go rigid beside me.Not afraid.Not startled.But… shaken.In a way I’d never seen.“Sebastian,” I whispered.His jaw clenched. “Stay behind me.”“No.” My voice came out steady. “I’m not letting you face this alone.”The man stepped forward, slow, casual, dripping with taunt and confidence.He was tall—Sebastian-tall. Broad shoulders. Familiar bone structure. A face carved with sharp precision… but with colder eyes, lighter hair, and a different darkness.Like Sebastian’s reflection, but twisted.Sharpened.Harder.His gaze flicked to me, lingered, then returned to Sebastian.“I heard you replaced me,” the man said, voice smooth as expensive whiskey and twice as dangerous. “Upgraded, even.”“Lucien,”

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   The Shadow Inside the Walls(Ocean's POV)

    The security monitor froze mid-glitch, the shadow on the feed stretched like a silhouette carved from darkness itself. For a moment, I thought the room had turned cold—then I realized it was my blood. Every instinct in my body went tense.“Sebastian,” I whispered.He was already moving. His chair scraped against the marble, his eyes narrowing as he replayed the footage frame by frame. “They’re inside,” he said, voice low, almost too calm. “Inside my building.”No. Not his building.Our battleground.The war room’s lights dimmed as Sebastian activated the lockdown sequence. Metal shutters slid over the glass walls, sealing us in with a hiss that felt both protective and terrifying.My heart hammered, but not with fear—more like adrenaline laced with fury. Whoever stepped into our perimeter didn’t just trespass. They declared war.The monitor glitched again, then finally resolved into a clear frame.A figure in a hood. Tall. Precise steps. Moving like someone who knew the layout.Too we
