"It was a mistake," the words flew off my lips before I could stop them. "I'll pay for it...just...just tell me the price."

Mr Steele stared at me, his face unreadable, blank—and that made it worse. There was nothing to hold onto. Just that stillness that made my chest tighten the longer it stretched.

I’d heard from Mason back then about how scary and stone-hearted his boss was. Mason always called him the devil, said no one crossed him and walked away free—and here I was, barely a few m

  • My Husband's Billionaire Boss Shouldn't Know How I Taste    Chapter 177 - But not for food, Princess

    [Alma]"I'm a picky eater, and these are most likely the foods I eat and..." I paused, narrowing my eyes at him. "This isn't the first time this has happened. Back in Paris, you...""The food is going to get cold, Princess." Zevyn cut me off so casually that I almost frowned.He reached for the water, poured himself a glass, and then pushed another one toward me."I've always been good at guessing. You should know that by now." His eyes met mine for a brief second before he nodded toward my plate. "Now eat."I stared at him.I opened my mouth, ready to argue again, but the slight shake of his head stopped me before I could get a single word out.I narrowed my eyes at him, but he only leaned back in his seat, looking far too pleased with himself.I let out a quiet breath through my nose and finally picked up my fork.I twirled some of the creamy pasta around it, making sure to get a piece of the grilled chicken with it, then brought it to my mouth.The moment it hit my tongue, a moan s

  • My Husband's Billionaire Boss Shouldn't Know How I Taste    Chapter 176 - Looks fucking good on you

    [Alma]"Come here, princess." Zevyn's deep voice sliced through my thoughts.My eyes stayed fixed on his broad shoulders, and then down to his stomach. I counted the muscles.Eight.Eight firm, sculpted muscles stretched across his abdomen, each one standing out beneath the warm kitchen light whenever he moved. I found myself staring longer than I should have, my mind going completely blank as I took in every little detail of him.I swallowed and dragged my gaze back up to his face.His lips curled slightly, as if he could read every single thought running through my head.He gave me a firm nod, and my legs moved before my brain could even agree to cooperate with it.I took one step at a time, the soft fabric of the shirt brushing against my thighs with every movement, until I was standing just a few feet away from him.Zevyn's eyes moved over me for what had to be the hundredth time, and without saying a word, he turned back to the stove. He gave whatever he had on the fire one last

  • My Husband's Billionaire Boss Shouldn't Know How I Taste    Chapter 175 Come here, Princess

    [Alma]"I'm sure it's nothing," I whispered.I finally pushed the door open.The long hallway stretched out in front of me, quiet and almost empty, the soft lighting casting a warm glow across the walls.I stepped out, and the door clicked shut behind me.My fingers tightened around the edge of the oversized shirt as I started walking, the fabric bunching slightly in my grip.I followed the same path we'd taken earlier, walking slowly through the long hallway until the staircase finally came into view.I stopped at the top for a second, my eyes dropping down the steps.The first thing that greeted me was the aroma of something grilling.I couldn't tell what it was, but the smell reached me before I even made it halfway down the stairs, warm and smoky, with something savory underneath it that immediately made my mouth water.I picked up my pace without even realizing it.One step after another, I hurried down the staircase, my hand sliding along the railing as the smell grew stronger w

  • My Husband's Billionaire Boss Shouldn't Know How I Taste    Chapter 174 - I'm sure it's nothing

    [Alma]I stared at the screen for a few seconds, trying to make sense of the unfamiliar number before my eyes slowly dropped to the message underneath it.I read the first words, and my brows pulled together immediately.Unknown Number: Stay away from him. Get as far away from him as possible.I stared at the words, then read the lines over and over again. But the more I looked at them, the less sense they made.My eyes moved back to the number at the top of the screen. I didn't recognize it. There was nothing about it that gave me even the slightest clue who could have sent the message.My fingers moved to the number, and before I could second-guess myself, I clicked on dial.The strange number appeared on my screen, but instead of ringing, it gave a short beep before disconnecting.I frowned and tried again, this time bringing the phone to my ear.I waited.Then I heard the mechanical voice."This number does not exist."That was all I heard before the call disconnected.I stared at

  • My Husband's Billionaire Boss Shouldn't Know How I Taste    Chapter 173 - People that don't matter

    [Alma]The drive was silent except for the low hum of the engine and the tires screeching against the asphalt whenever Zevyn took a turn.My gaze shifted to my phone, and I opened our group chat almost without thinking. Sienna's message was still sitting at the bottom.Sienna: movie date tonight after work, who is in?I stared at it for a moment.Elara had reacted to the message with a laughing emoji, and I'd responded with a heart. That was it. Such a simple conversation. A normal plan between three best friends who had no idea that in a few minutes, everything between us would be completely fucking different.I'd actually been excited about the movie. I needed something to take my mind off the man sitting beside me, something loud enough and distracting enough to keep me from thinking about him for a few hours.I just hadn't known the tables were about to turn so violently.My thumb lingered over the screen before I finally locked it.I could still see their faces.Sienna's eyes, fi

  • My Husband's Billionaire Boss Shouldn't Know How I Taste    Chapter 172 - Let's get home first.

    [Alma]"Don't keep your mouth shut, and I'll smack your ass right here and give them something worthy to watch."My lips snapped shut immediately. My heart slammed so hard against my chest that I could hear it pounding in both ears."You disgust me.""This friendship is over.""I'm out of here before I vomit every single thing I just had."Sienna's voice rang in my ears over and over again, each word making more tears roll down my cheeks.Zevyn pulled the car door open, helped me in, and strapped my seatbelt, but none of it registered; all I could see were my friends' faces.I didn't care if anyone else had said those words to me... If any of my colleagues had looked me in the eyes and called me disgusting and shameless, none of it... I mean, not even a single word, would have ever mattered to me.But not my best friends. Not the two women who meant the world to me.This was exactly what I was afraid of... I didn't mean to lie to either of them, but I was afraid of the judgment, afrai

    [Alma]I stood by the window longer than I should have, my fingers lightly gripping the edge of the curtain as my gaze drifted once again toward the dining table behind me.Everything was setToday wasn’t just our anniversary. It was also my birthday.My eyes lingered on the table, taking in every

    [Alma]I bit down hard on my lips as I stared back at my reflection, before shifting my gaze to the closed door. I gulped, repeating the lies I was going to tell Grandma, if this had to do with where I was or why I had a different outfit on.I took another deep breath, smoothing my hand over my dr

    [Alma]The moment my lips touched his, everything in me went still.His lips were warm against mine, and for a moment my mind simply… stopped working.My fingers tightened on his shirt like it was the only thing keeping me grounded, my lips moving slowly over his as if I was trying to understand wh

    [Alma] I gulped down, my eyes fixed on the closed door as if Mason would walk back in if I looked hard enough Walk back in and take back those words. "Tessy needs me." "Nothing is more important than making sure she's safe." "You’ve been terribly out of shape." The words echoed in my he
