The three-hour drive north was roughly as fun as having dental surgery without novocaine. Between the winding mountain roads, the claustrophobic silence of the SUV, and the sheer exhaustion of having screamed at a billionaire's ex-girlfriend before noon, my brain finally threw in the towel. I slumped against the leather seat, let my head loll toward the window, and completely passed out.

    The three-hour drive north was roughly as fun as having dental surgery without novocaine. Between the winding mountain roads, the claustrophobic silence of the SUV, and the sheer exhaustion of having screamed at a billionaire's ex-girlfriend before noon, my brain finally threw in the towel. I slumped against the leather seat, let my head loll toward the window, and completely passed out.When I finally blinked my eyes open, the heavy gray twilight of the mountain estate was pressing against the glass.The SUV was parked in a private gravel lot behind a massive, timber-and-stone luxury lodge that looked like a millionaire’s hunting lodge designed by an architect who hated happiness. Up front, Carter was already gone, likely auditing the resort's front desk security logs with a stopwatch.Cyrus was sitting right beside me in the dim interior, casually flipping through blueprints on his iPad.I shifted, letting out a groggy groan, and realized something felt weirdly... supportive. I reac

    Lana was at her desk, holding a cup of coffee. The second she saw my face, her eyes went wide."Whoa," Lana said, sitting up straight. "What happened to you? You look like you just fought a bear in a beige suit.""Close," I said, flopping into my chair and dropping my head onto my arms with a loud thud. "Yasmin Colt showed up, You know her Lan, you mocked her once."Lana gasped, nearly dropping her coffee. "Mr. Monopoly's ex? The snob with the vocal fry? Oh my god, did she try you?" she asked."She called my outfit unprofessional and treated me like a temp maid," I groaned into my elbows. "So I screamed at her, called her a walking hotel couch, and smashed a two-thousand-dollar crystal juice carafe at her feet."Lana stared at me for three full seconds before letting out a loud, hysterical laugh, clapping her hands together. "Erin You absolute legend Did her designer shoes get ruined?""Yea they got covered in cranberry juice," I said. "The problem is, Crest thinks I did it because

    The morning sunlight coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows flickered and plunged into a heavy, dramatic twilight shadow. The temperature dropped so fast I could practically see my breath, and floating right between Yasmin and me, pulsing in aggressive, dark golden typography, the narrative engine fired up:[MANDATORY SCENE TRIGGERED: The Jealous Outburst]Objective: Perform an aggressive, dramatic act of destruction or disruption to mark your territory in front of Yasmin Colt.Failure Penalty: Immediate Systemic Disruption.I stared at the floating golden text in the air.Perform an aggressive, dramatic act of destruction to mark your territory.The system wanted a catfight. It wanted me to mark my territory over Cyrus like some desperate, jealous female lead marking her claim on her dark romance hero."Oh, you want a dramatic act of destruction?" I muttered under my breath. "I'll give you a fucking dramatic act of destruction."I turned to my left, grabbed a heavy, custom crys

    I marched my ass back to the room and grabbed my phone out of the bag and opened a food delivery app. I scrolled straight past the organic salad places and clicked on the dirtiest, greasiest, most gloriously unhealthy diner five blocks away.Twenty minutes later, the intercom buzzed. I practically sprinted to the foyer, signed for the order, and marched back into the kitchen carrying a giant, greasy brown paper bag that smelled overwhelmingly of fried onions, melted cheddar, and bacon.I flopped down onto one of his high-end leather barstools, pulled out a double bacon cheeseburger, a massive tub of loaded chili-cheese fries, and a large chocolate milkshake, and spread them out across his spotless island.I took a giant, glorious bite of the cheeseburger. Pure, unadulterated bliss.Right on cue, the kitchen door opened and he walked back in, holding a stack of reports. He froze in his tracks the second the thick, heavy scent of diner grease hit his nose.He stared at the island, he s

    Ten minutes later, I was sitting in the back of a black SUV while Carter silently timed traffic lights from the front seat.We took the private elevator straight up to the penthouse. The place hadn't changed at all. It was still the same massive, aggressively dark, ridiculously overpriced glass box designed by someone who clearly hated cozy furniture and warm lighting.Cyrus was standing near the floor-to-ceiling wall, holding a crystal glass of whiskey. He had his suit jacket off, his tie loosened, looking every bit the brooding, dominant male lead waiting to lay down the law. He turned slowly as I stepped off the elevator, his eyes fixing on me with that heavy, possessive intensity."Welcome back, Erin," he said, his voice carrying a quiet, authoritative weight. "You're in my world now. Here, you will abide by my…."The air in the penthouse instantly cratered. The natural light through the windows dimmed into a dramatic twilight shadow. The temperature dropped ten degrees, and float

    A slow, vicious smile spread across my face. I reached into my handbag, pulled out a thick, stapled document from Aura Travel, it was just a list of new destination places for traveling but he didn't need to know that shit. I slapped it right onto the white tablecloth between my steak plate and his water glass. I pulled a red ballpoint pen from my pocket and clicked it loudly.Cyrus stared at the paper, his knife hovering mid-air. "What is that?""This is the official Aura Travel Corporate Dietary, Liability, and Expense Waiver," I announced loudly, tapping the top page with my pen. "You ordered this meal for me without consulting my medical records, client. That creates a massive liability overlap for my agency."Cyrus blinked, his cold facade cracking for a split second. "It's a steak.""It's a rare protein drizzled in an unidentified fungal reduction " I corrected, flipping to page two with an aggressive paper tear sound. "Do you have the origin certificate for these truffles? Are
