Athena Moretti was the brilliant mind behind NexusTech, but to the world, she was just a nobody. When her fiancé, Marcus Vance, publicly humiliates her, steals her revolutionary cybersecurity code, and hands her empire to another woman, Athena is left with nothing but a burning thirst for revenge. Enter Lucien Laurent. Ruthless, brilliant, and the most feared venture capitalist in the country, Lucien is old money incarnate. He offers Athena an untouchable legal team, unlimited resources, and a state-of-the-art lab to rebuild her software and crush Marcus. But his help comes with a dangerous price. To destroy Marcus from the inside out, Athena must sign a one-year contract to play a part she never prepared for: Lucien’s fiancée. The catch? Lucien is Marcus’s estranged, older step-brother. Living under Lucien’s roof, the lines between corporate warfare and bared desires begin to blur. Every stolen glance is a sin; every touch is an electric violation of their professional rules. Athena convinces herself that she is just using his power to get her life back. Until a dark secret from the past unravels, revealing that the man protecting her from the devil might actually be the one who ruined her family first. Can Athena successfully play a game where the heart is the ultimate liability, or will she realize too late that her silent partner is the most dangerous enemy of all?

In Bed With The Billionaire Boss Chapter 6: The Safe Distance
ATHENA POVThe investigator’s words hung in the air, vibrating through the small speaker of my phone. It belongs to Lucien Laurent.My thumb froze over the screen. I ended the call without saying another word, the sudden silence inside the moving car becoming infinitely louder than the static of the line. My hand was still resting inside Lucien’s grip. His palm felt warm. Too warm.Slowly, carefully, I pulled my fingers away from his touch. I slid my hand back to my lap, my knuckles white as I clenched my dress.Lucien noticed immediately. His hand remained open on the leather seat for a second before he smoothly retracted it, resting his forearm on the middle console. He didn't look away from me. "Who was that?"I kept my gaze fixed on the tinted window, watching the blur of the city lights outside. My heart was pounding against my ribs, a slow, heavy thud. "Just a telemarketer," I lied, my voice tight. "Wrong number."A long pause followed. I could feel his eyes on the side of my fa

ATHENA POVThe private conference room at the Imperial Plaza was packed with foreign tech investors. At the center of the mahogany table, Marcus stood confidently, adjusting his tie as a presentation slide projected behind him. Aegis: The Future of Global Data Security."With this architecture," Marcus announced, gesturing smoothly to the screen, "we guarantee zero latency and absolute immunity to external breaches. The European sector is ours for the taking."Chloe Harrington sat near the front, smiling like a proud queen. The investors were nodding, pens hovering over their multi-million dollar contracts.Then, the heavy double doors opened.The room went dead silent. Marcus stopped mid-sentence, his jaw dropping slightly.Lucien walked in first, his posture dominant, his tailored black suit commanding immediate authority. But the real shockwave hit the room when they saw who was attached to his arm. I walked in right beside him, wearing a sleek, silk sapphire dress that screamed ol

ATHENA POVThe workspace Lucien provided inside his penthouse looked more like a premium tech lab than a home office. Three massive, curved monitors glowed in the dim room, casting a cool blue light over my face. It was 2:14 AM. My fingers flew across the mechanical keyboard, tapping out a sequence of code designed to locate a specific backdoor vulnerability in Marcus’s infrastructure.I rubbed my eyes, checking my code against the terminal. Almost there.The heavy glass door behind me slid open with a soft hiss. I didn't turn around, assuming it was the automated ventilation system adjusting itself."You're shifting the memory allocation too slowly," a deep voice murmured.I startled, my hand jerking on the mouse. I spun my chair around to find Lucien standing right behind me. He had discarded his suit jacket. His white dress shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, exposing his lean forearms. He held a crystal glass containing two fingers of amber whi

ATHENA POV"Your fiancée," I repeated. The word tasted heavy and entirely foreign on my tongue. I stared at Lucien, looking for any sign of a joke on his face. There was none. His expression remained as stone-cold as the glass walls surrounding us."A temporary arrangement," Lucien clarified calmly, leaning forward and resting his elbows on the desk. "My step-brother has spent the last year convincing our family circle and the tech industry that he is the golden boy. He thinks securing the Harrington merger makes him untouchable. If I show up to the corporate family dinners with you—the woman who actually built his product—it compromises his narrative. It creates a crack in his armor."I looked down at the contract between us. My fingers traced the edge of the crisp white paper. "And you think Marcus will just let that happen?""Marcus is insecure," Lucien said, his dark eyes tracking my movement. "He always has been. Seeing you with me will make him reckless. A reckless man makes mis
