His Conquest. His Enemy. His Addiction.

Chapter 1.Wrong Room?Tori Nathan.“The bills, Tori…" He shook his head, a grim look on his face. “This can't keep up. You need to find a way. She needs a new heart, this palliative care wouldn't last much longer.”I balled my hand into a fist as I recalled the words of Lily's doctor. My sister's heart was failing, and I was drowning in hospital debt, and my salary and side jobs were barely enough to foot them. We struggled to eat as well as pay utility bills. The weight of everything on my shoulders was stifling.“Excuse me. You're in the way.” Someone bumped into my shoulder and I snapped back to reality.I murmured an apology under my breath, but I knew she wasn't going to hear me. The building was blaring with loud music. This wasn't my kind of place, but I was here to see someone. My last resort to help with the bills… Holland, my rich ex-boyfriend.I reached out to him as soon as I left Dr. Shelby's office, and he had given me the address of this club.“There you are…" I heard

Chapter 3.Grateful Heart.Tori Nathan.Very early the next morning, I breathed a sigh of relief that Lily had been stabilized by the hospital, even though one thing still remained."You must have a guardian angel, Tori," Dr. Shelby smiled with tired eyes as he stared at me in his office. "To be honest, I didn't believe that Lily could possibly survive to see this morning. The chief medical director personally called to attend to her case. Whoever your guardian angel is, you need to make sacrifices of thanks to them."I could only smile in response. I was too weak and tired, but I was internally grateful for whatever my boss had done last night."Thank you, Dr. Shelby. For all your efforts so far. I'm really grateful." I thanked him genuinely. Without him, Lily could have actually died, it didn't matter if the chief medical director interceded later on."It's okay, Tori." He smiled warmly, the wrinkles on his face lifting slightly. "She will be under monitoring for the week. If everyt

Chapter 5.The Threat.Tori Nathan.My phone rang beside me and my eyes snapped open immediately. The first thought that sprang to my head was Lily, my sister. I turned around the comfy bed and I almost yelped in shock.Fuck, what had I done? I stared at the man who slept peacefully beside me, his fingers still grabbing on to my inner thighs. My nipples hardened again at the sight of that, and my cheeks flushed with embarrassment.I needed to leave before he woke up. I wouldn't be able to face him if he woke up. Even at work; that is if he didn't outrightly sack me. I knew I would beg him if it came to that, no matter how bad we were treated at work, my salary was enough to get Lily's monthly medications. Not only that, but he would know me to be this kind of person; sleeping around just to make money or thank someone. I slapped a hand over my face in mortification. What had come over me to sleep with my boss? And I even made the first move! I kissed him first. This wasn't like me at

Chapter 7.The Realization.Kaius Ravensworth.“What do you mean you can't find it?” My voice thundered down mercilessly at the incompetence of my staff. My patience was wearing thin in my home which was being upturned by them.“We… I…" The man in front of me was shaking which added to my rage.“You what? Speak or I will make sure you and your family are wiped out from the face of this earth!” My eyes shone in anger, my veins almost bursting out as I clenched my fists even tighter.“You… You were the last person with it, sir.” He said lowly as he bowed, cowering away from my view.The rage I felt was still building up in my chest as I punched the wall over and over again in frustration.“Kai…" I heard my best friend's voice behind me. “We have to find it before the next shareholder's meeting.”“You think I don't know that?” I shouted back at him, but he barely flinched as he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, slipping out one, he lit it.He puffed, before responding. “And

Chapter 9An Investigation.Tori Nathan.A week had passed after I discovered the two flash drives in my purse. One contained the personal details of the Ravensworth corporation staff, starting from the highest-ranking person down to the janitors of the company. I shuddered at the thought of my personal life being known in full by a company I work for. While the other flash drive contained a plot to erase Kaius from the face of the earth.Why would they keep track of their workers' life? I was still contemplating returning the two USB flash drives, but after I found out that Mrs. Eleanor was somehow involved, I knew it would be risky to give her the flash drive.“Tori, you can come in now.” The nurse called me and I smiled at her, sitting on the chair provided.“What do I have to do?” I asked her, a little nervous. My nose wrinkled slightly at the familiar antiseptic smell that came with hospitals.Lily had been admitted to the hospital and was being closely monitored by the doctors.
