POV: Noah Hart

---

Noah couldn’t sleep.

He’d been staring at his ceiling for two hours, sheets tangled around his legs, body tense and hot like someone had lit a fire under his skin and walked away.

Elias Voss had touched him once. Spoken to him like he knew things Noah had never said out loud. Like he’d seen something underneath.

Something Noah didn’t even know was there.

He kicked the sheets off and sat up, dragging both hands down his face. His body was buzzing. Restless. Agitated.

You’re not reacting to men. You’re reacting to me.

Elias’s voice had been smooth. Cold. Unbothered.

But Noah had seen it—the look in his eyes. The kind of look you give someone right before you break them open.

Noah didn’t want that look. Didn’t want to crave it.

But his body betrayed him every time he remembered it.

Every time he remembered the closeness. The weight of Elias’s gaze. The way he’d spoken that word: belong.

He hated how it made him feel.

Worse, he hated how it turned him on.

---

The next morning, Noah walked into the office early—hair still damp, coffee half-finished, pulse unsteady.

Elias wasn’t in yet. Thank God.

Noah needed space to breathe.

But the minute he sat down, his phone buzzed.

New text: UNKNOWN NUMBER

> “You’re early. Good.”

He didn’t have to ask who it was.

---

Elias arrived ten minutes later. Tailored black suit. Grey tie. Not a hair out of place.

Noah didn’t say good morning.

Elias didn’t look at him.

They moved through meetings like machines—efficient, precise, controlled.

But underneath?

It was a current. Tense and taut and threatening to snap.

---

It snapped at 8:47 p.m., when Elias called him into the private lounge upstairs.

“Help me with this,” Elias said, tugging at his cufflinks, removing his jacket. “We’re done for the day.”

Noah moved toward him without thinking.

He shouldn’t have.

He knew that.

But his hands—traitorous, shaking—reached for Elias’s wrist. Unfastened the silver cuff. Then the next.

Up close, he could smell Elias again. Something expensive and clean, like smoke and salt.

“Why are you helping me?” Elias asked softly.

“You told me to.”

“You could’ve refused.”

“You would’ve hated that.”

Elias’s eyes met his. Sharp. Searching.

“I already hate that you’re afraid to admit it,” he said.

“Admit what?”

“That you want this.”

Noah dropped his gaze. “I don’t know what I want.”

“You know exactly what you want,” Elias said. “You just don’t think you’re allowed to have it.”

Then, silence.

For a heartbeat too long, Elias didn’t move.

And neither did Noah.

Their hands brushed.

Noah’s breath caught.

He looked up.

And Elias—just once—reached out and touched his face. The back of his fingers grazed Noah’s jaw like a question.

“You’re trembling,” Elias said.

Noah’s voice was a whisper. “Because you confuse the hell out of me.”

Elias stepped back. Instantly. Clean break.

“Go home, Mr. Hart.”

And just like that, the moment vanished.

Noah turned, heart racing, body shaking.

But the worst part wasn’t the confusion or the attraction or even the fear.

It was the fact that—

he hadn’t wanted Elias to stop.

    Bonus Chapter Two: ForeverPOV: Split — Elias & NoahNoahThe gala lights sparkled like stars scattered across the ballroom ceiling. Chandeliers glittered, champagne flowed, and laughter rose in elegant waves from the crowd. But for Noah, none of it mattered.Because Elias was across the room, cornered by a small group of investors, and still—still—he was looking at him.Even in a sea of tuxedos and gowns, Elias stood out. His suit was perfectly tailored, black with a subtle sheen, his tie the exact deep navy that Noah had chosen for him. His hair gleamed under the golden light, sharp jawline softened only by the faintest smile he reserved for one person.For Noah.Two years. Two years since they’d stepped out of the fire and into something they had built together. The new firm thrived, their names no longer whispered with scandal but celebrated with respect. Their story had become less about ruin and more about resilience.And yet—Elias still looked at him like he was the only thing

    Bonus Chapter One: The First NightPOV: Split — Elias & NoahNoahHe told himself it was just another late night at the office.The spreadsheets glowed on his laptop, endless numbers blurring together until they felt like static. Outside, the city pulsed against the glass walls—headlights streaming like veins of light, skyscrapers lit up like sentinels, the hum of ambition never sleeping. Inside, though, the silence was heavy. Too heavy.Noah’s fingers hovered over the keyboard, but his pulse was racing for a different reason. Because Elias was still here.The CEO sat at the far end of the room, half-shadowed by the desk lamp. Jacket discarded, tie loosened, sleeves rolled up in a way that exposed sharp forearms and veins that caught the faint light. His hair was mussed like he’d run his hands through it a hundred times, but his posture—straight, contained, elegant—never cracked.It made Noah’s chest ache.“Why are you still here, Mr. Reyes?” Elias’s voice was low, a rasp that felt li

  • His Cold CEO   Epilogue: Two Years Later

    Epilogue: Two Years Later POV: Noah Location: Paris The café was quiet. Tucked away on a cobblestone side street in the Marais, it smelled like strong coffee and freshly baked brioche. Rain misted against the window. The morning was slow, warm. Human. Noah sat with his laptop open, a cappuccino in one hand and Elias’s scarf looped loosely around his neck. Across from him, a young couple debated over branding fonts for a new wellness app. They didn’t know who he was. Which was exactly how he liked it sometimes. Because even empires needed quiet corners. They were in Paris for a month. Elias had a string of meetings at the EMEA Innovation Forum, but Noah had turned down three speaking offers just to take a breath. They hadn’t stopped since the launch of the Blackthorn-Reyes Group. In two years, it had gone global — media, tech, ethics consulting, luxury investment. And it hadn’t collapsed. They hadn’t collapsed. If anything, they’d grown sharper. Softer. Stronger. His phon

  • His Cold CEO   The Rise

    Chapter Fifty – The Rise POV: Split — Noah & Elias Noah The press conference wasn’t held in a boardroom or ballroom. It was on the rooftop of their new headquarters. Glass. Steel. Sky. A panoramic view of the city they’d both bled for, now under their feet. Noah adjusted his collar in the reflective glass wall. Behind him, the media team adjusted sound levels. Drones buzzed overhead. The new logo shimmered on the screen behind the podium: Blackthorn-Reyes Group Built from the ashes. He felt it before he saw him—Elias’s hand settling against his lower back. “You look like power,” Elias murmured. Noah smirked. “That’s because I am.” They stood side by side as the cameras went live. Elias There were hundreds of them. Journalists. Investors. Influencers. Industry gatekeepers who’d once whispered about scandal, now leaning forward to hear the next chapter. Elias took the mic first. “I built Thorne & Vale with my own hands. But empires built alone are brittle.” He turned

  • His Cold CEO   The Reckoning

    Chapter Forty-Nine – The Reckoning POV: Noah The gala was everything Julian Marsh loved—opulence, optics, and control. Crystal chandeliers glittered overhead like a ceiling of diamonds. Velvet drapes in imperial blue cascaded from twenty-foot windows. A string quartet played something elegant and forgettable in the corner. Every inch of the ballroom was curated to perfection, like a stage set for the grandest of lies. And in the center of it all stood Julian himself. Tailored tuxedo. Wine glass in hand. Smile sharp enough to bleed. Noah stepped into the room like he was walking into enemy territory. Black suit. Blood-red tie. The color of battle. He spotted Elias by the bar, unmoving, eyes locked on him. There was tension in the set of his shoulders—like he wasn’t sure if Noah was about to win a war or walk into a trap. Noah didn’t blink. Didn’t break. It was both. He crossed the marble floor slowly, each step deliberate, like he was being watched—and he was. Conversatio

  • His Cold CEO   Julians final move

    Chapter Forty-Eight: Julian’s Final Move POV: Elias It hit him mid-meeting. A chime. A buzz. A dozen vibrating phones. All at once. The CFO’s face went pale as she looked down at her screen. Then the room fell into a hush so thick it felt padded. Elias felt it before he saw it. The blood draining from the room. The eyes. Then Marcus, legal counsel, slid his phone across the table toward Elias. HEADLINE: THE CEO WHO LET HIS BROTHER TAKE THE FALL Below that: a grainy photo from fifteen years ago. Elias, barely twenty-two. And Julian, handcuffed, shoved into the back of a patrol car. Fraud. Insider trading. Corporate cover-up. Except it had been Julian’s scheme. Julian’s signature. Julian’s mess. Elias had done what he always did — protected the company. Protected their name. But the headline made it look like he had walked free while Julian took the blame. Like he’d fed his own brother to the wolves. Elias didn’t remember how the meeting ended. All he knew
