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 94 Cross Fire

    Ocean’s POVThe warehouse air was damp and stale, smelling faintly of rust and old oil. Ocean hugged her knees against her chest, her wrists raw where the zip-ties had cut into them. The men who had snatched her were ghosts now—slipping in and out without speaking, leaving her alone with nothing but the echo of dripping water and the scrape of rats in the corners.She had counted the hours by the slivers of light under the door. Five times it had brightened and dimmed. Five times she had whispered Paul’s name under her breath like a prayer.She thought of Sebastian—not the CEO, not the power player—but the man who once knelt beside her hospital chair and brushed her hair back, promising, “I’m not going to let you go through this alone.” That memory hurt worse than the cold concrete beneath her.Footsteps approached. A man in a leather jacket stepped inside, his face masked by shadow. “Your boyfriend thinks he runs the city,” he

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 93 Shadows To Follow

    Sebastian’s POVThe elevator doors slid open on the top floor of Veyron Industries, spilling Sebastian into a corridor lined with glass walls and the quiet hum of ambition. The skyline beyond the windows was a jagged heartbeat of neon and smog, but today it felt like a cage. The company’s empire—his empire—looked as pristine as ever, but Sebastian knew the cracks weren’t in the building. They were in him.The boardroom’s polished table was already occupied by a handful of directors whispering in clipped tones. A rival conglomerate had been circling like vultures since the scandal with Isla’s family name leaked. The whispers weren’t just about market shares; they were about loyalty, about whether their once-impenetrable CEO could still hold the line.Sebastian set his leather folder on the table and forced a calm nod. “Let’s get started.”Mara, his chief of operations, cleared her throat. “They’re offering a hostile buy-in on the Eastern branch, Sebastian. If we don’t counter by next

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 92 Breached My Fortress

    Behind us, tires screeched—Rico’s SUV slammed through a side gate, headlights blazing. Lucas leaned out the window, firing warning shots into the air. The gunmen scattered like rats.We dove into the SUV’s backseat. Rico floored it, fishtailing onto the main road as the rain turned into a downpour that swallowed the city’s neon glow.An hour later, inside an anonymous condo overlooking Makati’s skyline, the room buzzed with low voices and the beeping of medical equipment. Lucas disinfected my shoulder while Rico reinforced the door. Ocean sat wrapped in a blanket on the sofa, wet hair clinging to her cheeks. She looked at me like she wanted to both hit me and hold me.> Ocean: “You could’ve died.”Sebastian: “Better me than you.”Ocean “That’s not a choice I asked you to make.”Sebastian: “It’s the only one I’ll ever make.”Her lips parted, but no words came. Instead, a tear slipped down her cheek—silent, devastating.I reached out, brushing it away with my good hand. The closeness wa

  • Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal)   Chapter 91 embarrassing moment

    Sebastian s POV The city lights streaked past in molten ribbons as I gunned the accelerator, the wail of a distant siren blending with the thundering in my chest. Ocean’s recorded voice still echoed in my ears: Don’t give up on me. As if there was a universe where I ever could. The GPS coordinates pulsed on the stolen phone—an abandoned rail yard on the edge of Manila’s port district. Every instinct screamed trap, but hesitation wasn’t an option. I dialed Damien again on speaker. > Sebastian: “Shadow me, but hang back five blocks. No headlights. If they see you, she’s dead.” Damien: “Copy. Rico’s already rerouting drones. Sebastian… don’t let anger cloud you.” Sebastian: “Anger’s the only thing keeping me upright right now.” The rain started again, spattering the windshield like warning shots. The yard was a skeleton of rusted freight cars and twisted tracks, lit only by flickering floodlamps. My headlights cut through the mist, revealing graffiti-scarred walls and pud
