His Cold CEO The Spiral
Chapter Forty-One: The Spiral POV: Noah The world felt too quiet. Not peaceful. Not still. Just… muted. Like someone had turned the volume down on life and Noah was trapped inside a vacuum. The city still buzzed outside the penthouse windows—cars, lights, headlines flashing across buildings—but none of it reached him. He stood barefoot in the bathroom, toothbrush in hand but motionless, staring at the mirror. The man reflected back didn’t look like the boy from the press conference anymore. He looked… hollow. Hollow, and a little haunted. The bruises on his collarbone were healing, but Elias’s bite was still faintly visible—proof of passion and pain. A reminder that even in chaos, Elias loved him like a storm: reckless, relentless, real. But love didn’t cancel out the headlines. “Noah Bell: The Gold-Digging Nobody Who Took Down a CEO.” “Ex-Prostitute or Strategic Partner? Inside the Scandal.” “What Does This Say About Elias Thorne’s Mental Fitness?” And beneath every sens
His Cold CEO Yours, Even in Ruin
Chapter Forty: Yours, Even in Ruin POV: Elias Elias was staring at the same financial report for the third time in an hour, but the numbers blurred and twisted, meaningless. That wasn’t like him. He could usually pull focus through a nuclear war, much less a market dip. But this? This wasn’t a report problem. It was a Noah problem. A his Noah is cracking and there’s nothing he can do about it problem. He pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling slowly. The penthouse was too quiet, the city humming in the distance like static under his skin. Noah had gone to his studio earlier that morning and hadn’t returned. Not even a text. It was the silences that haunted Elias. The quiet between their conversations. The way Noah looked at him lately—tender, but distant, like he was rehearsing a goodbye in his head. No. Fuck no. He stood abruptly and strode to the elevator, punching in the code that took him to Noah’s private studio three floors down. The lights were off. Canvas leaned ag
His Cold CEO The Reckoning
Chapter 39: The Reckoning POV: Noah The storm didn’t pass. It gathered. It changed shape. And then it came back with teeth. The headlines weren’t kind—again. “Elias Verno’s Empire in Freefall” “Power Couple Implodes Thorne & Vale” “Noah Reyes: Lover, Liability, Liar?” Noah turned the screen off. He didn’t throw the phone this time. Just set it on the counter and walked to the window. The skyline stared back at him like it was disappointed. “You shouldn’t read the news,” Elias said, stepping into the kitchen in just slacks and an open button-down. “I should know what they’re saying.” “They don’t matter.” “They do, Elias.” Noah’s voice cracked like a worn rope. “I was the distraction they needed. And now I’m the one they’re crucifying.” Elias reached for him, but Noah stepped back. “I need to go.” “Go where?” “Anywhere that doesn’t smell like PR spin and ash.” Noah took the subway. No driver. No penthouse car. No tinted windows. Just sweat and metal and the blur o
His Cold CEO The Fall Before the Rise
Chapter 38: The Fall Before the Rise Elias Elias Thorne Blackthorn had made peace with ruin. What he hadn’t prepared for—was this kind of ruin. The boardroom was a tomb of power. Chrome, glass, silence. The same room where he'd once closed billion-dollar mergers now bristled with tension thick enough to choke on. Around the long obsidian table, thirty-two partners sat in silence. The last press inquiry had just gone live. At the far end, seated like a ghost in tailored linen, Julian Marsh was smiling. “You always did love being a spectacle,” Julian said lightly, tapping a finger on the NDA Elias had once forced him to sign. “Sleeping with your assistant. Promoting him. Paying for his housing. What were you thinking? You gave me everything I needed to blow you wide open.” Elias said nothing. He didn’t flinch. Not even when Noah’s name started flashing across the projector—twisted headlines, anonymous sources, speculation about their months-long affair. A woman in HR spoke up. “
His Cold CEO Ruin me Slowly
Chapter Thirty-Seven: Ruin Me Slowly POV: Noah There was something dangerous about the way Elias stared at him. Not like a man in love. Not even like a man in lust. But like a man on the edge—of obsession, of violence, of a truth so brutal it couldn’t be spoken in daylight. “You’ve been pushing me all week,” Elias said, voice low, dragging Noah back into the moment. “You want me to snap, don’t you?” Noah’s breath hitched. He stood still in Elias’s office, the blinds drawn, the city lights casting fractured shadows across the floor. “I want the truth.” Elias crossed the space between them, slow and deliberate. His suit jacket was gone. His tie hung loose, the top two buttons undone. Every step he took felt like a countdown. “I don’t do soft,” he said. “I don’t do gentle. And I warned you, Noah. I’m not the man who walks away.” “You think I don’t know that?” Noah snapped. “You think I haven’t been waiting for you to break?” That did it. Elias surged forward, backing Noah ag
His Cold CEO Blood in the Water
Chapter Thirty-Six: Blood in the Water POV: Elias It started with a whisper. Then came the flood. An anonymous leak. A board memo. A recording Elias never consented to. By noon, his name was splattered across headlines in a language reserved for wolves: unfit, compromised, lovesick tyrant. By two o’clock, four board members had requested an emergency vote of no confidence. By three, his father was calling. He didn’t answer. He stared out over the city from the top floor of Verno Holdings, the skyline glittering like broken glass. Behind him, the world crumbled. Phones rang. Legal scrambled. PR spun. Elias just stood still. For once. The predator in him had gone silent. Until the door opened, and Noah walked in. No suit. No armor. Just soft cotton, fierce eyes, and the only truth Elias had left. “They’re going to try and take everything,” Elias said without turning. “The company. My legacy. You.” Noah shut the door behind him. “Let them try.” Elias finally faced him. “You
