Chapter Thirty Five

Aria’s Pov

Darkness. Static. A voice that wasn’t mine:

“Asset-Alpha Omega initialized.”

I woke to orchards of numbers and words scrolling behind my eyelids. My chest felt like my own heart was a stranger.

I tried to sit up, but my limbs moved wrong, like someone else’s muscles were on loan to my body. A spike of vertigo. A dull throb in the back of my skull.

I pressed a trembling hand to my head. A scanner’s hum vibrated through the wall beneath me.

“The system,” it whispered. Cold. Mechanical. Not mine.

The last thing I remembered was Julian’s face, tight with panic. Then monitors rattling. Then…gone.

I forced my eyes open.

White panels. Changing lights. Cold geometric shadows.

A figure informed me: “Initialization scan complete. Core personality imprint stable.” The voice was clipped, clinical. An Initiative tech.

I blinked at a reflection in the metal wall. My eyes. My lips. But I didn’t recognize her.

Asset-Alpha status: 100%. Emotional inhibitor: 60%. Subrout

  • In Lust with my Sexy Boss   The Shattered Truth

    Chapter HundredAria’s POVThe single word lodged itself in my chest like a blade.Yes.I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe. My vision blurred, tears burning at the corners of my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. If I let them fall, it would mean I was breaking and I couldn’t afford to break in front of him.My lips parted, but no sound came out at first. Finally, I managed a whisper. “You… you knew?”Julian’s jaw tightened, his eyes haunted, guilt carved deep into the lines of his face. He took a step toward me, hand outstretched like he could soothe this storm he’d created. “Aria, listen to me”“Don’t.” My voice was sharp, cutting, fueled by panic and rage. I pressed my back harder against the wall, needing distance, needing space, needing air. “Don’t you dare come near me.”He froze, his chest heaving, his hand trembling before he finally lowered it. The sight of Julian Blackwell, my boss, my obsession, my impossible man, reduced to this haunted shell should have undone me. Once,

  • In Lust with my Sexy Boss   Running from Him

    Chapter Ninety Nine Aria’s POVI couldn’t breathe. The air burned in my lungs as I ran, my heels striking the cold floor, every step echoing like the truth chasing me down.He knew.The thought looped in my head like a curse.Julian had known something, maybe everything and still he looked at me like I was the only woman who’d ever mattered. Still he kissed me, touched me, made me believe.Tears blurred my vision, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop. If I did, I would shatter right there in front of him, and I couldn’t give him that. Not now.I shoved through a door and stumbled into a darkened room. My chest heaved, my fingers clutching at the nearest surface just to keep me standing. The walls felt like they were closing in, suffocating me with every memory of his hands on my skin, his voice in my ear, the promises he whispered when he thought I was too lost in him to hear the tremor beneath his words.My body still ached for him. Even now, even with betrayal pounding through my vei

  • In Lust with my Sexy Boss   The Secret Between Them

    Chapter Ninety Eight Julian’s POVHis voice low, deliberate cut through me like a blade. “Aria… it was always going to come down to you.”I felt her stiffen at my side, her breath hitch, her body pressing closer against me instinctively. My hand curled around hers, tighter than before, grounding her, grounding myself. Because I knew exactly what Leviathan meant.And she didn’t.Her eyes flicked up to me, wide, searching for answers I had been avoiding for far too long. Her fingers dug into my palm, trembling, but her voice still found me. “Julian… what does he mean?”I didn’t answer. I couldn’t, not with him standing there, feeding on every fracture in our silence.Leviathan’s smile spread slow and cruel. He tilted his head, watching me like a predator savoring the kill. “You haven’t told her, have you?”“Shut your mouth.” My words were razor-edged, but my chest was burning, and he knew it.Aria’s hand slipped from mine. That small, subtle shift felt like my heart being torn from my

  • In Lust with my Sexy Boss   The Devil in the Room

    Chapter Ninety SevenAria’s POVThe air in the room thickened, pressing against my chest like invisible hands. Every sound outside, the scrape of gravel, the distant clang of the gate, the heavy thud that reverberated through the walls, felt magnified, like the house itself was holding its breath.Julian moved with precision, every step silent but weighted, like he was both hunting and hunted. His broad shoulders tensed beneath his shirt, muscles shifting like coiled steel. He glanced at the control panel near the door, his jaw tightening when the screen flashed red.“Breached perimeter.”My stomach dropped.I clutched the counter to steady myself. “Julian…”He held up a hand. Wait.But waiting was impossible when my body was screaming to either run or cling to him. I wanted answers. I wanted to scream. But most of all, I wanted to understand why fear looked so foreign on Julian Blackwell’s face.The silence stretched, and then..CRASH.Glass exploded at the far end of the house. My s

  • In Lust with my Sexy Boss   A Shadow at the Door

    Chapter Ninety Six Aria’s POVThe word still echoed in my mind even though I hadn’t heard it. I’d only seen the way Julian’s body changed, rigid, braced, his shoulders tight like a predator poised to strike. Whatever flashed on that screen, whatever ghost had crawled out of the darkness, it had shaken him.And nothing shook Julian Blackwell.“Julian,” I whispered, my fingers tightening on his shirt, the cotton twisting in my grip. “What did you see?”For a long, unbearable moment, he didn’t answer. His jaw flexed, his breathing harsh, and I knew, knew he was burying something so heavy it threatened to crush us both.Finally, he turned. And in his eyes, I didn’t see the sharp, unbreakable boss I had known, or even the man who had kissed me like I was his salvation. I saw terror. Not for himself. For me.“It’s him,” he said, voice hoarse, nearly breaking.“Who?” My throat dried. “Julian, you’re scaring me, who?”His hand came up, cupping the back of my neck, forcing me to look at him,

  • In Lust with my Sexy Boss   Ghosts of the Past

    Chapter Ninety FiveJulian’s POVI didn’t sleep. Couldn’t.Aria’s breaths were steady, soft against my chest, but my mind was a battlefield. Every time I closed my eyes, the words flashed behind them, taunting, searing: She’s mine.The handwriting wasn’t random. I knew it. The angles, the sharp slashes, it was the same scrawl that had haunted classified reports and backroom deals in the underworld of my father’s empire.I’d buried that name long ago. Or maybe I’d only convinced myself I had.The shadow wasn’t just a threat. It was personal.I shifted, careful not to wake Aria, and slipped from the bed. Her hand twitched against my arm, clutching at air where I’d been, and it nearly undid me. But I had to move. I had to be sure.In the office, I opened the drawer I swore I’d never touch again. Inside, beneath false files and decoy documents, was a slim black folder. My father’s. My inheritance of poison.My hands tightened as I flipped it open, and there it was, scrawled across the mar
