MasukChapter 3: Claimed in His OfficeThe morning light filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Zach Montgomery’s penthouse, casting shadows across the king-sized bed where Samantha lay tangled in silk sheets. Her body still ached in the most delicious, humiliating ways from the night before. She touched her face absentmindedly, remembering the way he’d marked her, the taste of him lingering.Zach entered the room already dressed in a crisp charcoal suit that hugged his powerful frame, looking every inch the ruthless billionaire. He tossed a garment bag onto the bed. “Get dressed. You start your new job today.”Samantha sat up, clutching the sheet to her bare breasts. “Job?”“My new personal secretary.” His smirk was dangerous. “You’ll handle my schedule, my calls, and anything else I require. And you’ll do it from my office. Consider it part of our… arrangement. No more stripping. No more escorting. You belong in my world now.”“But… I don’t know the first thing about being a sec
Chapter 2: Show Me What’s MineSamantha stood frozen against the cool glass wall of Zach Montgomery’s penthouse, her sheer silk robe barely clinging to her shoulders. The city lights twinkled far below, indifferent to the storm brewing in this room. Her heart hammered against her ribs, a wild rhythm that matched the pulse throbbing between her thighs. She hated how her body betrayed her, how the memory of his hand around her throat in that dark bar still sent heat pooling low in her belly.Zach’s smirk was pure predator as he closed the distance, his tall frame towering over her. He didn’t touch her at first. He simply looked, eyes dragging over every inch like he was already imagining all the ways he’d ruin her. “Strip now,” he commanded, voice low and rough, laced with dark promise. “Slowly. I want to enjoy what I bought.”Samantha’s fingers trembled as they rose to the tie of the robe. “I hate you,” she whispered, but the words lacked venom. They came out breathy, almost a challeng
Chapter 1: Be My Exclusive WhoreSamantha Green’s heels clicked against the rain-slicked pavement. She pulled her thin coat tighter around her body, the fabric doing little to ward off the chill that seeped into her bones. Twenty years old, and her life had already crumbled into nothing. It started with her step-sister’s lie—a fabricated story of theft and betrayal that painted Samantha as the villain. Her father hadn’t even listened. “Get out,” he’d snarled, his face twisted with disgust. Her mother had simply turned away. Within weeks, every job application she submitted hit a wall. Calls went unanswered. Interviews canceled last minute. Small businesses that showed interest suddenly faced threats from her family’s influence and money that could bury anyone who dared help her.So she’d done what she had to to survive and resorted to escorting. It paid the bills, kept a roof over her head in a rundown studio apartment, but every night left another piece of her chipped away. Tonigh
Chapter 4: Eternal WatersThe photographs hit the tabloids like a bomb. Grainy but unmistakable images of Madeline and Kian at the secluded beach kissing passionately in the waves, bodies entwined on the sand, spread across every gossip site and society page within hours. Governor Harrington’s roar shook the mansion walls that same evening. “You ungrateful whore!” He stormed into Madeline’s room, Elijah at his side, both men’s faces twisted with fury.Before Madeline could speak, Elijah backhanded her hard across the face. “You embarrassed me in front of the entire city!” He grabbed her arm, dragging her toward the locked wing of the house. “You’re mine by contract. This ends now.”“Stop! I love Kian!” she screamed, fighting against their hold. “I’ve always loved him. Elijah, please—Father, let me go! I don’t want this life!”Her pleas fell on deaf ears. They locked her in her childhood bedroom, guards posted at the door. Meanwhile, Kian was ambushed outside his apartment. Governor H
Chapter 3: Flames in the ShadowsThe memory of the waterfall burned them. That night had shattered the last fragile walls between them. What had been stolen kisses and aching yearning ignited into a fierce, unstoppable hunger. Kian carried himself differently now—shoulders straighter, eyes bolder whenever they crossed paths in public. Madeline felt it too, a constant, delicious ache, a secret smile she hid behind polite conversation.Two days after the waterfall, the opportunity struck.Madeline had slipped away from a tedious luncheon at the city hall, seeking a quiet moment in the east wing corridor. Footsteps approached fast. Kian’s hand shot out, yanking her into a small, unused storage room lined with shelves of linens and supplies. The door clicked shut behind them.“Kian—” she started, but his mouth was already on hers, devouring, claiming.“I can’t wait anymore,” he growled against her lips, hands sliding under her skirt, gripping her thighs. “Need to feel you now.”Madeline
Chapter 2: Sanctuary of SecretsThe ballroom’s golden light hit the marble floors, but the real tension crackled between two people who pretended the other didn’t exist. Madeline stood gracefully beside Elijah, her fiancé’s hand possessively at the small of her back as he laughed with donors and officials. Her smile never wavered, the perfect governor’s daughter.Across the room, Kian remained at Mayor Langford’s side, posture rigid in his dark suit, eyes scanning the crowd with professional detachment. Their gazes met for a fraction of a second enough for Madeline’s heart to stutter, before she looked away, cheeks burning. 'He can’t get hurt again,' she told herself, fingers tightening around her champagne flute. 'Not because of me.'She avoided him for days after that night. When their paths crossed in the city hall corridors or at political events, she offered only the faintest nod of polite recognition, as if he were any other bodyguard. Kian’s jaw would clench, pain flashing in
