LOGINSarah HAYES has worked too hard to let a single mistake derail her career. She’s finally secured her dream job as an executive assistant at Vance Holdings, a world ruled by spreadsheets, silence, and the ruthless, ice-cold CEO, ALEXANDER VANCE. Alexander is gorgeous, untouchable, and utterly terrifying. Their worlds collide when Elara literally crashes into him, earning a verbal lashing that should have ended her career before it even began. But instead of being fired, Elara is given the impossible: she's reassigned as Alexander Vance’s personal, 24/7 assistant. Now, she is trapped. One moment, he treats her like an annoying distraction—a clumsy obstacle beneath his notice. The next, his eyes hold an unsettling intensity, his voice lowers, and the air crackles with an electric current that screams forbidden desire.

I was supposed to be at the office fifteen minutes ago. Even with a "day off" yesterday, being late today was professional suicide.I scrambled out of bed, tripping over a discarded shopping bag."Jenny! Wake up! Why didn't you set an alarm?" I yelled, running toward the bathroom.Jenny appeared in the doorway, her hair a chaotic nest, squinting at the light. "Ugh... Sarah? Stop screaming. I thought you were taking a 'personal morning.'""I was supposed to be there by 8:30! He
(Sarah)As I walked out of the building, I felt the cold breeze on my face. It was as though I had been suffocating for days and hadn’t even known it. The air was sharp, cutting through the lingering heat of Alexander’s touch, but it didn't wash away the words I'd heard through that thin supply room door.Judy.There was another woman. A woman he was trying to "replace." A woman who was the reason I was being paid triple my salary and being put through a corporate "death march." I leaned against a cold stone pillar, my stomach twisting. I had let him touch me—I had let him see me at my most vulnerable—all while I was nothing more than a ghost-filler in his twisted, broken heart.I can’t believe I was that stupid. I wasn't his "PA" or his "attraction." I was a distraction from a three-year-old failure.I fumbled with my phone and called a cab, my hands still shaking. When the yellow car pulled up, I slid into the back seat, staring at the blurred lights of Los Angeles, feeling lik

I stumbled back, pulling my hand away from her slick core, dragging the moisture onto my palm.Sarah was clinging to me, gasping, her face flushed crimson, her eyes wide with shock and the aftermath of raw pleasure.I spun around, turning my back to her. "Wait outside, Malcolm!" I yelled, my voice ragged."Straighten your dress, Miss Hayes," I commanded, my voice strained and low. "And don't move."I heard the frantic rustle of fabric behind me as she scrambled to compose herself."Miss Hayes, wait in the supply room," I instructed, pointing to a small, discreet door near the file cabinet. "Do not leave until I summon you."She nodded mutely, her eyes still clouded with confusion, and quickly slipped into the tiny, dark room. It was a space barely large enough for a few boxes and a paper shredder, but it offered her an immediate escape from the imminent confrontation."Come in, Malcolm," I called out, my v
( Alexander's Pov)The morning began, not with the quiet efficiency of my office, but with the shrill, demanding ring of my private line—the one only reserved for board members and immediate family. I knew instantly it was my mother.I picked up the phone, my jaw clenching against the sudden, familiar spike of ancestral fury."Alexander! Where were you?" Her voice, usually modulated to the perfect pitch of polite society, was edged with genuine frustration. "Do you have any idea the effort involved in arranging a private meeting with the South American representatives? They flew in specifically to discuss the foundation's expansion, and you didn't even show.""I was managing the Grey House replacement, Mother. Corporate necessity dictates my schedule," I replied, my voice flat, devoid of emotion."Nonsense! Corporate necessity means meeting the partners who fund your legacy!
