The water was still, catching the moonlight in soft fragments as it stretched beneath the night sky.

Gabriella leaned back slightly in her chair, her legs crossed at the ankle, one hand resting loosely against the armrest. The air was cooler out here. Cleaner. It carried none of the weight the office did. No expectations. No urgency.

  • My Possessive CEO   Echoes In The Quiet

    The water was still, catching the moonlight in soft fragments as it stretched beneath the night sky.Gabriella leaned back slightly in her chair, her legs crossed at the ankle, one hand resting loosely against the armrest. The air was cooler out here. Cleaner. It carried none of the weight the office did. No expectations. No urgency.For the first time all day… she let herself breathe.The house was quiet behind her. Lights dimmed. Staff had retreated. Everything had settled.But her mind hadn't. Not completely, at least.Mr Patrick’s voice still lingered somewhere at the edge of her thoughts.‘Family doesn't screw each other over.’Her fingers tapped lightly against the armrest, then stilled.What if he found out their engagement was a facade?Or worse.What if there was another crisis at the company and Mr Patrick suffers losses because of it?She exhaled slowly, her gaze drifting back to the water.“You look like you’re thinking too much.”His voice came from behind her.Gabriella

  • My Possessive CEO   Nothing Personal

    The car doors closed with a soft thud.For a moment, neither of them spoke.The city moved past them, distant voices along with the steady hum of traffic, but inside, everything felt quieter. Gabriella shifted slightly.They had done it. They had secured the deal.And yet…Her fingers stilled.Beside her, Alexander sat back, with one arm resting against the door. His expression hadn't changed since they stepped out of the building.Calm and unreadable.Gabriella glanced at him briefly. Then again.“Do you think…” she started, then paused for a second.Alexander didn't turn, but she knew he was listening.“Do you think Mr Patrick would give Dennis a chance as well?” she asked.The question settled between them.“Highly unlikely,” he said. His tone was even.“He doesn't partner with a lot of companies. He prefers to center his focus.”Gabriella nodded slowly, her gaze dropping briefly to her hands.That made sense.Still…“Would Dennis be offended?” she asked quietly.This time, Alex

  • My Possessive CEO   Terms Of Trust

    Alexander moved beside Gabriella, his presence controlled as always.Nothing about him gave anything away. If Dennis’ presence had meant anything to him, it didn't show.Mr Patrick led the way into his office.The office was clean and expansive. Everything was placed perfectly without trying too hard. It screamed power without noise.He walked behind his desk, then paused, turning slightly toward them.“Have a seat.”They did.Gabriella placed the file neatly on the table, smoothing it once before opening it.Beside her, Alexander leaned back slightly, one arm resting on the chair, his attention already fixed.He was observing. Not the room, but Mr Patrick.“Let’s not waste any time,” Mr Patrick said, his voice direct.Gabriella nodded. “Of course.” Then she slid a copy of the proposal to him.“This outlines a long-term partnership structure between Kingston Enterprises and your company. We've focused on scalability, but more importantly… scalability across operations.”Mr Patrick fl

  • My Possessive CEO   Right On Time

    By morning, Gabriella had already gone through the proposal more times than she could count.She stood in front of her mirror, adjusting the sleeve of her blouse. The fabric sat perfectly, but her fingers lingered anyway, smoothing something that didn't need fixing.Her reflection stared back at her.Composed and focused.Exactly what she needed to be today.Today wasn't just a casual meeting. This one mattered.She picked up the file on the dresser, flipping it open briefly. Numbers, projections, summaries. Everything they needed to secure this deal.Clean and direct.Just the way he wanted. The way it had to be.Closing it, she exhaled slowly and reached for her bag without hesitation. Then she stepped out.Alexander was already in the car.He didn't look at her when she got in. His attention remained on his phone as he scrolled.“Morning,” she said.“Morning.”Gabriella settled into her seat, placing the file carefully beside her. The door shut, and the car pulled away from the hou

  • My Possessive CEO   Subject To Change

    Gabriella checked the file stack once more to make sure nothing was missing.He had asked her to bring them.Then she lifted her hand and knocked once.“Come in.” His voice came from inside.Gabriella pushed the door open and stepped into his home office.Alexander was seated behind his desk, sleeves rolled up slightly. His laptop sat open to the side, the glow reflecting faintly against his face.He didn't look up.Gabriella walked closer, placing the files down carefully.“You asked me to bring these.”“Yes.” He gestured for her to sit. “We need to review everything.”She took the seat across from him and leaned forward slightly, opening her copy of the documents.“Did you send the email? He asked, eyes scanning a page in front of him.“Yes.”He gave a small nod. Nothing more.As time ticked on, they worked like that.Pages turning, occasional notes, short exchanges.“Adjust this figure.”“Alright.”“Remove this section.”“Okay.”Every exchange ended exactly where it needed to. Som

  • My Possessive CEO   The Missing Entry

    His office had emptied.But Alexander still stood in the same spot.The glow from the screen reflected faintly in his eyes as he stared at it, unmoving.Lines of data scrolled endlessly.Timestamps, access logs, system responses.Everything looked normal.His jaw ticked.He had seen the earlier version. He knew what it had shown.How could every record of failure suddenly vanish?His brows drew together as he reached for his desk phone.The line rang once before it connected.“Sir?”“I want every hard copy of the admin access logs,” Alexander said, his voice controlled. “Every version. Not summaries. The originals.”A quiet pause settled.“Every… sir?”“All of it,” he repeated. “As far back as the system goes.”“Ok, sir,” he said cautiously.“Have them brought to my office ASAP.” He ended the call before the man could respond.Alexander’s gaze returned to the screen.For the first time, he wasn't looking for errors.He was looking for intent.By midday, Gabriella’s phone buzzed on her

    Gabriella barely slept. Tonight, she would meet the parents of the man she was pretending to be in love with. She knew deep within her that this wasn’t going to be any ordinary dinner.She had dressed carefully, choosing something professional but subtle, not wanting to draw unnecessary attention to

    As the work day drew to a close, the office floor became eerily silent. There were only a few other employees on this floor, mostly those who worked closely with Alexander. Now at 5 PM, the occasional soft chuckle or hushed conversation between employees had died down.Gabriella sat at her desk, st

    “What do you mean you’re moving in with your boss?” Khloe screeched, her voice echoing off the apartment walls.Gabriella winced at the volume, her hands flying up in defense as she tried to calm her friend down.“Khloe, calm down..Geez.”“Calm down? Calm down? You just said you’re going to live wi

    Gabriella watched as Alexander’s face relaxed into a calculated smile. He had won. Not like he gave her much choice on the matter. She was caught between a rock and a hard place.She felt anger towards him for using her financial situation against her, but at the same time, she couldn’t expect anyt
