MasukMy husband asked me to seduce his arch-enemy. He never expected me to enjoy it. It was supposed to be a game, twisted little power play to bring down Reid Caddel, the man who is on the verge of ruining my husband’s empire. I was meant to tempt him. Break him. Leave him begging and then disappear the next morning after my purpose has been met. Instead… he started to unravel me. Reid plays a different kind of ball game, One laced with secrets, obsession, and a terrifying clarity. He doesn’t just want my body. He wants answers. He wants everything that I possibly own and am. Now I’m caught between two liars... The man I married, and the man I was sent to destroy. But the closer I get to Reid, the more I start to wonder... What if the real enemy isn’t him? What if it’s the man who sent me?

The shattered glass has been swept up, the security team dismissed. For the first time in what feels like days, there’s silence.Raees sits at her desk, a file open before her that she hasn’t turned a page of in twenty minutes. Reid’s sitting on the couch nearby, his hand freshly bandaged, his jacket draped carelessly over the armrest. The tension between them, that dense, unspoken weight that’s been there for weeks, finally feels lighter now that they've made up...Well, mostly. Almost fragile too, like it might break if either of them raises their voi
The sun dips low outside, slanting through the half-drawn blinds of the safehouse, painting long golden stripes across the walls. The air smells faintly of something unfamiliar in these regions...Something as simple and stupid as food. Not the canned, stale crap they’ve been surviving on. Real food. Something warm, something alive and worth eating for the first time in a long time.Cecelia looks up from the paperback in her hand, blinking like she’s just realized she’s been pretending to read for the last fifteen minutes. Her focus shifts to the source of the sound, faint clattering, the dull scrape of metal against metal, a low grunt. She tilts her head, and her lips curve up.It’s Abel.And he’s cooking.“Unbelievable,” she mutters under her breath, setting her book aside, peeping at him from under the comforter blanket.She pads barefoot down the short hall, her curiosity piqued. The kitchen light spills out softly into the corridor, golden and warm. Abel’s standing at the coun
The city doesn’t sleep on Friday nights, it purrs like a cat that's filled to the brim.Far below the glass wall of Nathaniel Brooks’s penthouse, Lagos glows like spilled gold. Streetlights bleed into the wet roads, car horns sound like a lazy symphony, and somewhere, music drifts up from a rooftop bar. It’s the kind of night that looks calm from above but is built on chaos underneath, much like Nathaniel himself.He’s half sprawled on a king-sized bed, the silk sheets tangled around his hips, shirt unbuttoned and clinging faintly to skin slick with sweat. The woman beside him, nameless and pretty in the dim light, lies on her side scrolling through her phone. Her perfume hangs thick in the air, something floral and expensive that doesn’t quite hide the scent of sex and smoke.Nathaniel’s cigarette burns low between his fingers, the orange tip a soft pulse in the dark.The phone buzzes on the nightstand.He glances at the screen.
