VERITY

Adrian's face contorted with fury.

His fingers tangled savagely into my hair, yanking my face forward, tilting my chin up so abruptly that my lips parted to draw breath.

"You want to play that game?" he growled. "Fine. I'll remind you exactly what you are!"

With that, he drove inside.

The intrusion was immediate, ruthless, and consuming.

The sheer girth stretched my jaw to an agonizing limit, the blunt head driving deep into the sensitive hollow of my throat before my body could even brac

  • His Dark Asset (R18)   CH.73

    VERITYI didn't know how long I knelt on the cold concrete.The students emptied out, leaving me shivering in the dirt. My scraped palms throbbed, stinging with grit and dried blood.I had absolutely nothing left. My scholarship was gone.My reputation was completely incinerated and the man I threw my entire soul at had abandoned me.I dragged myself up on shaking legs and started walking.I wandered the Manhattan streets for hours, completely numb.The sky bruised into a deep, dusky violet, and the streetlights flickered on, casting long, distorted shadows on the pavement.My frozen fingers found the hard plastic of the card sitting deep in my pocket… the one Adrian gave it to me.A wild, hysterical laugh bubbled up my throat.Fine. If I was going to be the ruined, gold-digging whore everyone thought I was, I might as well play the part to perfection.I found myself in the Meatpacking District, standing in front of a sprawling, exclusive lounge marked by heavy velvet ropes.The massi

  • His Dark Asset (R18)   CH.72

    VERITYThe walk from the administration building to the front gates felt like a funeral procession.Word had spread fast. Dozens of students clustered on the stone steps and lined the walkways, watching me keenly.They didn't even try hiding their jeers or the glowing phone screens glaring in my direction, recording my public execution for the internet."Hey Monroe, if I slip you a hundred bucks, do I get the billionaire experience tonight?" A guy stepped right into my path, shoving his phone in my face to snap a picture."Come on, give us a discount! We know your legs are always open!" His friends erupted into crude laughter, whistling as they pulled him back."Gold-digging whore!" a girl shouted from the front row, dramatically covering her nose and mouth. "Don't stand too close, guys! God knows how many married men she's been through.""Seriously, keep your distance!" another girl laughed, stepping back in mock horror. "I bet she's crawling with diseases after passing herself arou

    VERITYMy hands shook violently as I scrambled to gather my scattered notes from the dirty linoleum.The cruel laughter of my classmates echoed down the corridor, ringing in my ears like a siren.I reached for a crumpled case brief, but a black boot stepped directly on the paper, pinning it to the floor."Miss Monroe."I tilted my head up to find two campus security guards standing over me, their expressions completely devoid of sympathy."Dean Carson wants to see you in the administration building right now." The taller guard didn't offer a hand to help me up.He stepped back, leaving a muddy footprint right over my constitutional law notes.A cold knot of dread formed in my stomach.I quickly picked up my books and scrambled to my feet, clutching my bag to my chest.I didn't say a word as I followed them down the hall, keeping my eyes fixed straight ahead while the whispers and phone flashes followed me the entire way.The administration building was quiet, smelling of old paper and

    VERITYI woke up to a blinding headache hammering behind my eyes the next day, making the morning light slicing through the floor-to-ceiling windows painful.My mouth tasted like cheap wine, ash, and bitter regret.I pushed myself up into a sitting position, my entire body throbbing with a dull ache.The crushing reality of my situation crashed back, stealing all the oxygen from my lungs.Adrian had a wife. A family. He used me, broke me down to my rawest nerves, and then abandoned me to rot in this gilded cage while he went back to his untouchable empire.I pulled my knees to my chest, burying my face in my hands as a violent shiver racked my spine.I refused to just sit here and die.I refused to let Adrian Sutherland turn me into a pathetic, waiting mistress entirely dependent on his credit cards.My law degree was the only thing I had left. It was my only real way out.I could bury myself in my classes, graduate early, and transfer to a completely different city.I would run so fa

  • His Dark Asset (R18)   CH.69

    VERITYI lasted maybe twelve minutes before cracking the first bottle.I raised the glass to my lips, paused, and stared at my dark reflection in the dead TV screen.We watched each other for a long time without blinking.Then my lips curved upward in a hollow smile.Sometime around the bottom of the second bottle, I started talking to the empty room.It wasn’t a speech, just a series of muttered half-thoughts trailing off into the quiet before they could fully form.“You know what’s really funny?” I slurred, tracing the rim of my glass. “I never even liked white wine. But you left me with nothing else, so here I am, choking it down like a good little trophy wife.”I took another heavy swallow.“You could have fired me in person. A text message. A Post-It on the fridge. Anything.” A harsh, ugly bark of a laugh tore out of my throat, startling me.“God, I'm pathetic. Just a stray you got bored of. Not even worth a fresh NDA, just a wire transfer and a pat on the head.”Then the tears s

  • His Dark Asset (R18)   CH.68

    VERITY“You can’t keep me in here!” My shout bounced around the marble foyer.The two guards stationed by the front doors didn't flinch. Carter, the guy who introduced himself when Mikhail shoved me inside, stared straight ahead with dead eyes. The other guy never spoke at all.“Tell Adrian I want a word with him.” My voice scraped raw. “Tell him this isn't a negotiation. This is—”I trailed off, realizing this was pointless.I spun away and marched straight to the wet bar.My hands shook horribly, making the crystal decanter clatter hard on the glass rim.Blind anger took over and I whipped the tumbler straight at the wall.The glass shattered into a thousand glittering pieces, raining all over the white marble and the gray rug.Neither guard even blinked.Desperate for any voice but my own, I grabbed the remote and jabbed at the screen. There, enormous, was my face.My brain refused to make sense of it. The photo had been cropped so close that only my throat remained, ringed with da
