Especially when he shows the side of him that I'd never seen before. ____ Ryan Johnson I knew she’d come. My lioness never accepts defeat.

But you know, how we love to hate them!!!! ____ ABOUT THE BOOK: --------------------- Rose Johnson Kapoor --------------------- He called me a lioness. He taught me how to be one. But what he didn't understand was the power and strength I hold in my heart. Ryan Johnson walked away, leaving me with nothing but a shattered heart, a precious gift and a future he never even gave a chance to. But now? I'm done waiting. I've come across oceans to take back what's mine. To make him pay. He forced me to my knees once --to submit, to surrender- but this time, he will be the one kneeling. He will feel every ounce of my wrath. And when I'm done, he will beg to be mine. Yet, there's something I can't escape. A truth I've buried so deep even I refuse to face it. Because love isn't just about winning-it's about losing too. No matter how much I try to hate him, my love persists, my heart beats alive whenever he's close. And I don't know if I'll be able to hold on to my hate or the secret I am hiding for much long. Not when he shows me the side of him that I had never seen before. -------------- Ryan Johnson -------------- I knew she would come for me. My lioness was never one to sit back and take defeat. I left her once, thinking that I was doing the right thing. Thinking she was better off without me. But all I did was break her. And in the process, I shattered myself. Now, she's here. Not as the girl I left behind, but as the woman who carries my name, my fire, and-God help me-my sanity. She wants to make me suffer. To bring me to my knees. What she doesn't realize is, I've been on my knees for her since the moment I walked away. I'll take her wrath, her fury, every ounce of vengeance she throws my way- if it means I get to see the love in her eyes once again. If it means I can hold her once more. But just having her is not enough. I need all of her. In the past, it was her body I wanted to rule, to own. But now? I want her heart. Her soul. And if she resists, if she pushes me away, I'1l have no choice but to remind her who I am. Yet, as I make her mine, another battle waits in the shadows. There's a storm brewing in my world, a danger circling the people I love. And if I don't stop it in time, I could lose everything before I even have the chance to claim her again. And that? That is one thing I refuse to let happen. #darkromance #billionaireromance #fierceheroine #sassy #comeback #secondchance #bd.sm. #hiddenpregnancy #controlling and #dominatinghero ____ This is the second book in a two book series: The Tormentor Series. Book One: My Boss Is My Tormentor is completed and you can read it before this one. ------ RYAN ------ When you taste betrayal in childhood, it never leaves you. My own mother taught me the most valuable lesson: trust no one, and money is the only thing that matters. I became the man my father never was- Ruthless and heartless. As one of the most sought-after billionaires, I'm accustomed to having my demands met even before I voice them. Money has its perks and I understand my mother's hunger for it. The moment I stepped in India, I knew I needed to leave, but fate had other plans. It led me to Rose Kapoor - captivating and defiant. The one woman who refused to bow to me, regardless of my status. When she dared to slap me and insult me in public, my need for revenge ignited. I promised myself I wouldn't leave this country until she begged for my mercy. She's a lioness, fierce and untamable. She thought loyalty and submission couldn't be bought. How naive she was. She didn't know that I would not only buy her submission- I would break her, ruin her, and bend her to my will until she begs for mercy. ------ ROSE ------ Beautiful, smart and loyal to her loved ones. Rose Kapoor will do anything for her family that gave her a life she has today. She only wanted this job to be independent and be able to live her life on her own terms for once. Instead, she met Ryan Johnson-a beautiful, arrogant bastárd who ruined her interview and insulted her like she was a nuisance. When she discovered he was her new boss, she tried to leave, but he blackmailed her into staying. Cold-hearted and ruthless to his core, her boss: Ryan Johnson, demanded more than an apology; he wanted her total submission or else her family will face his icy wrath. Trapped and desperate to save the only family she knew, she agreed to his terms, unaware of the dark depths of his demands. As she innocently resisted his control and tried to understand what kind of submission he was demanding, she found herself drawn into a dangerous game where not only her body but her heart-and soul- were at stake.

GUPTAROSE “She is my mother!” The silence that followed was suffocating. “Your mother…” I whispered. Ryan slumped forward, elbows braced on his thighs, his face buried in his palms. His broad shoulders, always so unbreakable, seemed to collapse inward. But I couldn’t make sense of it. It was still impossible for me to understand why would his mother… “Your mother is trying to kill me,” I said slowly, the words tasting unreal. “She’s trying to kill our babies.” A distressed sound tore from my throat. “She was the one who destroyed my hotel room… who sent those dolls… Oh my God.” He said nothing. And his silence drove me closer to hysteria. “Why?” My voice rose despite myself. “Why would she do something like that? And why haven’t I met her? You never told me anything about her. I thought she was dead—” “I wish she was.” The raw hatred in his voice stole the air from my lungs. “I didn’t tell you anything,” he continued, lifting his head slowly, “because there’s nothin
ROSE“Rose! Rose!!”Someone was yelling frantically.And then, with effort, I forced my eyes open to see Ryan swearing like the world was ending.“Fuck! Wake up, Rose!”“Mama!” Ana screamed from somewhere nearby.“Fucking finally…” Ryan breathed when my gaze locked with his grey eyes, wild with anger and fear.He hauled me up into his arms. His hands were everywhere, touching, searching, sliding over my body, sometimes gentle, sometimes rough and unforgiving as he checked me inch by inch. “Are you okay? Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?” The questions came rapid-fire, barely giving me space to reply back.I swallowed several times, trying to ease the dryness in my throat. “I’m fine. I’m not hurt. I’m okay.”He helped me to my feet, supporting my weight. The moment I stood upright, a wave of dizziness crashed over me, and I nearly collapsed again. I grabbed Ryan’s shoulder to steady myself, and he flinched.At the same time, I heard Nick’s tight voice. “Ryan…”“Are you hurt?” I demande
ROSE “Mama, when are we going to cut the cake?” Ana asked, tugging on my arm to have my attention. “Cake?” My father questioned. “It’s Ryan’s birthday. We were here to celebrate it, but instead I got a surprise of my lifetime.” I answered, taking Ryan's hand in mine. “Thank you so much, baby.” “For you, anything.” Ryan replied back, his thumb caressing the back of my hand. “So sweet…” Meghan whispered from across the table, sipping on her water. “Ugh-huh…” Nick cleared his throat, deliberately, to get his wife's attention. “Oh, don't worry, you are even sweeter," She said with a pat on her husband’s shoulder. I laughed, when she added, “You just make sure to rub my feet tonight.” She winked at me and then explained, “During this time it's heaven to have someone rub the tension off your feet. You should definitely try that.” “Don’t give her ideas,” Ryan muttered, but when I turned to him, arching a brow, he added, “You just have to ask for it, lioness.” Nick and my fa
ROSE I wasn’t ready, I was far from it. But, still, my heart soared when I met his eyes like mine and yet so different. His were older and heavier, have been lived through years I have yet to do so. I watched as his blue eyes, ringed with green, crinkled at the corners. His face softened, and a gust of breath left him like he’d been holding it for decades. My own vision blurred as tears glazed his eyes too. We just stood there, staring, drowning in the reality of each other. I don’t know how much time passed before he finally whispered my mother’s name. “Shelly…” A sob escaped my lips and he pressed the back of his hand against his mouth as a tear slipped past his eyelids. I vaguely felt Ryan moving away from me, giving us privacy. “Oh my god…” I whispered brokenly. He pulled me against his chest in a tight, desperate hug, like he was afraid I’d disappear. “You look exactly like your mother,” he whispered, his voice deep and shaking with emotion.
