OCEANS.

Seeing Kiss with Jace did something violent to my self-control.

For one second, the whole restaurant narrowed down to her hand under his.

His hand.

On her.

Across a table I did not own, in a restaurant I had not chosen for her, with a man whose face I had imagined breaking more times than I cared to count.

She was wearing black. A dress I had never seen before—one that hugged her body like it had been painted on, with a neckline that dipped low and a slit that showed too much of her thi

  • Just Before My Wedding: Trapped By My Ruthless Boss   Chapter 140

    OCEANS.She knew I wasn't bluffing. She knew me well enough by now to know that when I said I'd knock, I'd knock until the whole street woke up.And what the fuck was she still doing at Jace's house?I'd been too buried in my own mess lately to look closely into the part where she was still sleeping under that bastard's roof, adamant about leaving his house and moving into the apartment I bought her with my own fucking money.Fuck.My life was coming apart at the seams, and the control I'd spent years building was sliding right out of my hands, and I couldn't claw it back no matter how hard I gripped.I knew she was here. She had to be.I pressed the doorbell for the third time, and she didn't open it; the next desperate thing my head was already cooking up would put those good guards at the gate in real trouble. And I was slowly losing every fuck I had to give right now.They knew my face. Jace clearly hadn't thought to warn them about me, because a couple of easy smiles, a name ever

  • Just Before My Wedding: Trapped By My Ruthless Boss   Chapter 139

    KISAREL.By the time I reached Jace’s house, my makeup had already started to betray me.I went straight upstairs before anyone could wonder what had happened, locked myself in the bathroom, and stood over the sink with both hands gripping the marble.My reflection looked wrong under the white lights. Wet eyes, smudged mascara, and bangs sticking slightly to my forehead because my skin had gone cold and sweaty at the same time.My phone wouldn’t stop glowing.Oceans.Missed call.Missed call.Missed call.Texts stacked under his name like he had suddenly remembered I existed after letting the whole world watch me stand outside his engagement like a mistake.A wet, ugly laugh broke out of me at how stupid I looked on that queue.This was all intentional, wasn't it?There was no way in the world Oceans hadn't known that I needed an invitation to get into the venue.He had all the time in the world to tell me, and not once had he mentioned that I'd be stopped at the entrance like a stran

    OCEANS.For one second, she had nothing... No expression to give, and no beautiful little words ready at the tip of her tongue.It was all just blankness.Then her lips parted. But before she could answer, Fred appeared beside us with a smile already in place.“Everything all right here?” he asked warmly.Moonie’s head turned so fast it almost snapped. “Daddy.”She stepped back at once, pulling her public face together, as she took one of the glasses from him, her fingers trembling so much that the champagne shivered.Fred’s hand settled on her shoulder to stop her from shaking as his eyes moved to me.“What’s going on?”I turned my gaze to Moonie.Her face had recovered, mostly. But not her eyes.Her eyes still carried the answer she hadn’t given me. Answers she was going to give me after tonight.*“I’m glad we could keep this on track despite the… noise this week.” Fred said with a smile.“What noise?” I asked.He held the second glass toward me. “You know how these things are. Fam

    KISAREL.Heat rushed to my face.“That’s impossible.”The second guard shifted, blocking more of the doorway without making it obvious. “Please step aside, ma’am. Other guests are arriving.”Other guests...I looked behind me, and more people were already standing in the queue, watching keenly."This must be some kind of a sick joke." I scoffed in disbelief, embarrassment mixing with my cheek blush. “I work directly with Mr. Stark,” I argued. “Can you call someone inside? Chris from reception, or Reeves, or—”“I can't do that, ma’am,” the first guard interrupted me. “We can’t disturb the hosts for unlisted arrivals.”Unlisted arrivals...Those words hurt in a way that'll haunt me for a while."My aunt just walked in. She's family. I'm family—""Miss." His voice stayed flat and polite. "You'll need to step aside. You're holding up the entrance."The other guard had already angled his body as if preparing to escort me away, and there was nothing more embarrassing than that.I thought ab

    KISAREL.Not talking to Elgin felt like standing on sinking ground.I stood in front of the mirror and touched the edge of my bangs, smoothing them into place before reaching for my mascara, working the wand, and for a second I saw the version of me that would've called him by now, laughing, asking which earrings made me look less like a hostage to my own life. He'd have said something filthy and perfect, and I'd have felt human again.I checked my phone for the sixth time while clipping one earring into place, hating myself a little more each time the screen stayed empty—no missed call, no text, not even a cold little thumbs-up to prove he had seen my apology and decided to ignore it with style.Jace appeared in the doorway behind me, already dressed in a dark suit. He had no tie on, and a watch I'd never seen before.“You look beautiful,” he said.“Thank you.” I pressed my lips together to even out the color of my lipstick, then turned slightly. “You’re ready early. Give me ten minu

    KISAREL."It’s today…” I forced a smile as I sat on my boss’s desk, patting his sleek, dark hair where his head rested on my thighs.“Mhm,” he said, his hands tightening around my waist.His eyes were closed, his face turned slightly toward my stomach, and one of his hands had slipped under the edge of my blouse like he needed skin, not fabric.I traced the line of his jaw and felt how rigid it was, how the muscle there kept ticking even with his eyes shut, and I knew this stillness wasn't peace."You're tense," I said softly. My thumb moved along his temple.His thumb paused against my waist. “I’m always tense.”“No.” I brushed my fingers through his hair again, watching the black strands slip between my fingers. “Not like this. You're panicking, aren't you? I can feel it."He didn't answer immediately."Are you scared?"A breath left him slowly against my skin. "Yes."His honesty surprised me. Oceans Stark didn't admit to fear. He admitted to inconveniences, to irritations, to other

All four things at once. That combination was going to be a problem for my self-control."Good girl," I murmured. "You ob

    KISAREL.The silence stretched so long it felt like punishment. He didn’t blink. He wasn't even looking at me anymore. He kept looking over my head like looking at me up close would kill him.I know this was reckless. I mean... The last time I did something this reckless was when I took a bullet fo

    KISAREL.The cab stopped at the far end of the airport, where regular passengers weren’t even allowed. Through the tinted glass, I saw the silver body of Mr. Stark’s jet gleaming under the floodlights, his initials, O.S., painted near the tail.I wiped my face, grabbed the small luggage I’d thrown t

    KISAREL.I still heard his cold voice in my head as I stepped out of the taxi."Get your ass back here in two hours, if you want to keep your new position."Mr. Oceans Stark’s words had a way of following me even in my sleep, like they were branded into my skin. Cold, merciless, and ruthless... Get
