Kael’s POV

I used to believe control was the same as protection.

That if I watched closely enough, anticipated every risk, measured every variable, I could keep the things I loved from slipping away.

I was wrong.

Control doesn’t protect love.

It suffocates it.

And now, five years too late, I am standing inside the consequences of that truth.

Seeing Ava again didn’t hurt the way I expected.

It was worse.

Pain would have been familiar sharp, dramatic, something I could clench my jaw agai

  • Irresistible Sin   Chapter 60

    Kael’s POV The city was quiet at this hour. Not silent, but the usual cacophony of traffic and life felt distant, muted, almost irrelevant. I sat alone in my office, the night skyline painting long streaks of light across the glass wall beside me, and yet all I could see was her. Ava. I leaned back in my chair, elbows resting on the leather armrests, hands pressed against my face. It had taken years to get here years of mistakes, apologies, persistence, and restraint. Years of watching her grow, watching her transform heartbreak into strength, power, and success. Years of proving to her, silently at first, then gradually, that my love was patient, unwavering, and undeterred. And now, after months of careful rebuilding of trust, after the intimacy we had slowly allowed ourselves, after laughter, quiet moments, and shared silences in my condo, I knew without a doubt that I wanted more than just moments. I wanted a lifetime. Ava deserved nothing less than perfection. And I was goin

  • Irresistible Sin   Chapter 59

    Ava’s POV The moment I stepped into Kael’s condo, I felt a thrill I hadn’t allowed myself in years. The space was sleek, minimalistic, every detail deliberate, just like him yet it somehow felt warmer now, softer. It smelled faintly of leather and cedar, and beneath it, the subtle trace of his cologne that always made my pulse quicken. Kael stood near the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city lights casting a golden glow around him, highlighting the sharp lines of his suit even as he loosened his tie. His eyes lifted when he saw me, and my stomach fluttered. That same magnetic pull, that tension, that ache of longing—it was all still there, alive and insistent. “You’re here,” he said, voice low, almost husky. “I am,” I replied, feeling the flutter of excitement mix with a touch of nervousness. I had waited for this. We had waited. And now, the air between us was thick with years of desire and restraint. Kael stepped closer, and I could feel the warmth radiating off him. His hand rea

  • Irresistible Sin   Chapter 58

    Kael’s POV The city never felt quieter than it did that night. Sitting in my penthouse office, I stared out at the lights below, each one a reminder of the countless nights I had spent plotting, planning, and hoping. For five years, I had carried the weight of my mistakes. The consequences of letting Ava go. And the echoes of her absence had shaped me in ways I hadn’t realized until now. I had tried to bury it under business deals, expansion plans, and the illusion of control, but every victory was hollow without her acknowledgment. Every success in the boardroom, every market conquered, every handshake across a negotiating table it was meaningless if I couldn’t hear her say my name without tension, without doubt, without fear. For weeks now, we had been threading carefully. Our interactions were no longer strained, no longer filled with unspoken accusations or invisible walls. She had come back into my life slowly, deliberately, and I had learned to meet her at her pace. Fl

  • Irresistible Sin   Chapter 57

    Ava’s POV The city lights outside my penthouse window flickered like tiny, distant stars, but inside, the space was warm, quiet, and full of tension I could almost touch. It had been weeks since Kael had arrived at my apartment after the hospital. Weeks of flowers, thoughtful notes, and gestures that weren’t grandiose but always deliberate. Weeks of him showing up at the office when necessary not to pressure, not to claim, but simply to be present, to remind me that he had changed, that he had waited, and that he was still here. And yet, I found myself still standing at the edge of a precipice. I had loved him once, completely. I had trusted him, given myself entirely, and it had ended in pain. Could I really open myself again? Could I risk that depth of vulnerability, that exposure, for someone who had hurt me so profoundly? I sighed and poured myself a glass of water, my fingers brushing the stem of the crystal tumbler. Even these small, mundane acts felt heavy tonight, weig

  • Irresistible Sin   Chapter 56

    Kael’s POV It had been months since Ava had let me back into her world, slowly, cautiously, one small gesture at a time. Months of sending flowers, notes, and small tokens not to overwhelm, not to demand, but to show her consistently, day after day, that I was different. That I had changed. That I could love her without trying to control her, without trying to fix her, without letting my pride get in the way. Sitting in my office, overlooking the city skyline that glimmered with late-afternoon gold, I allowed myself a rare moment of satisfaction. The empire I had built in her absence was strong, solid, and undeniable but nothing compared to the sense of purpose I felt now, fighting for her heart the right way. Elara Quinn was gone. Two years had ended in a careful, deliberate break, handled without drama because I had already made my choice. My company needed focus, but my heart… my heart had always been Ava’s. No flower, no note, no gesture had ever shaken that truth. The mo

  • Irresistible Sin   Chapter 55

    Ava’s POV The city lights spilled across the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, casting long shadows across the polished marble. The hum of life outside felt distant, like a world I had left behind when I chose to step away from Kael all those years ago. And yet, here he was. Again. Not with grand gestures, not with demands or declarations, but quietly, persistently, proving that he could be different. That he could be patient. That he could wait for me to let him in. I sat at the edge of the sofa, a cup of tea warming my hands, feeling the tension in my shoulders ease slightly. He was sitting across from me, reading through a report I had left on the coffee table. The way he leaned forward, the slight crease of concentration on his forehead, the careful, measured movements of his hands it all reminded me of the man I had once loved. The man I had walked away from. But it was different now. He wasn’t reckless. He wasn’t volatile. He wasn’t demanding. He was here, quietl
