THE HERO IS A Dominant, Controlling and OTT ALPHAHOLE AND HAS VERY QUESTIONABLE CHARACTER. HE IS NOT GRAY, HE IS DARK GRAY! 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 The day all women wait for, from the moment they begin to understand the meaning of love, had finally arrived in my life. I was seven months pregnant, huge, hormonal, and practically a walking grenade, ready to detonate at any moment. And to make matters worse… or better, depending on how you looked at it, I craved sex all the damn time. And today, I had just gotten married. For the second time. The first had been when we realized our love for each other, when we had promised ourselves, our hearts, and everything we were. But today… today was different. Today, we stood in front of the world and declared that we belonged to each other. We made vows, spoke promises, and bound our lives together in front of witnesses who saw our love, who heard us swear to stay until death tore us apart. Our wedding hadn’t been traditional, far from it. My maid of honor had been our daughter, Ana. My bridesmaids were Monica, Natasha, and Winter. Pops and Michael had walked me down
ROSE I was lying in bed with Ana in her room when I felt his presence behind me. I turned around and there he was. His face was solemn, his grey eyes serious, carrying a quiet hint of melancholy that made something inside my chest ache. Pressing a soft kiss to Ana’s forehead, I gently slipped out of her tight hold. My daughter was terrified to be alone, but just like her father, she didn’t ask me to stay. She didn’t need to. Because her grey eyes spoke everything she couldn’t say, just like her father’s did right now. As I stood up, I saw it clearly in his gaze. The need to hold me. To just… be with me. To find comfort in my arms after everything that had happened, after everything he had done to keep us safe. He stepped closer to the bed and bent down, pressing a soft kiss to our daughter’s forehead. “Goodnight, Precious,” he whispered. Then he turned to face me. I looked into his eyes, letting mine speak for me, that I was okay, that everything would
ROSETrying to erase the sight of an old man, at least in his mid-sixties, getting a blowjob near the elevator from my mind, I made my way toward room 205.My steps slowed when I noticed the door was already open.The moment I caught my first glimpse inside, my heart stopped. My entire body stilled, frozen in place.“I’m telling you, I’ll finish you if anything happens to my daughter,” Ryan said.I watched as his arms flexed around Ana, holding her tightly against him. She was whimpering, trembling in his hold, her face buried in his neck.“Just sign the papers. We don’t have time for your bullshit,” Josh Stewart, the bastard who had made my husband’s life hell, snapped, pressing the gun harder against him. “Your father never gave me what I wanted, but I’ll take it now even if I have to kill you for it.”“His father never knew what was good for him,” the woman, his mother, added coolly. “He even tried to send me back to India.”“I swear, if you don’t walk out right now, the police wil
ROSE Ryan left me in the care of two hard-looking men I had seen around the house but never spoken to. The guard assigned to watch me shot me a mean look, clearly furious that I had slipped out without him knowing. I almost wanted to stick my tongue out at him. But I held myself back. Instead, I went upstairs to our bedroom and stood by the window, watching as Ryan left, with a man I didn’t recognize. If it had been Gavin or Arjun, I would have felt a little better. But this— For me, it felt like Ryan was going alone. If he was crazy about my safety, then I was just as crazy about his. And that too, he was going to his mother… she had tried to kill him once. She had almost killed me too. I grimaced at the thought. As I kept looking down, my eyes landed on a small truck parked in the driveway. And an idea began to form. God, I just hoped I could pull it off. I turned away from the window, ready to work on my olan and nearly screamed. Then scowle
ROSE I crept down the stairs. It was quiet, only low murmurs drifted from the library, of my father and Arjun. I stopped in the middle of the drawing room, a sudden thought hitting me. Just today, I had met my father… and now I didn’t even know if I’d ever get that chance again. The message I had received was another photograph of Ana with a text, that said: SEE YOU SOON. This time, she was huddled in a corner. Her grey eyes were defiant, but scared. Tears streaked down both cheeks. My daughter… so much like her father. Even when she was terrified, she refused to show it. Along with the photograph were coordinates. And a number I assumed was a room in a hotel. I wiped my tears and slipped the phone into my pocket as I made my way to the kitchen. I had no doubt the guards Ryan had stationed would run straight to him if they saw me leaving. And then they’d drag me back to my husband, who would probably lock me in chains if he knew what I was about to do. So the back door
ROSE The bedroom door opened, and Arjun returned with my father and another man behind him. My father came straight to my side of the bed. His warm hand settled on my head, steady and grounding. Instantly, my eyes filled again. “I’m staying the night, if you don’t mind,” he said, directing the last part toward Ryan. “I want to be here for my daughter.” I didn’t even try to hold it together this time. I turned and wrapped my arms around him, sobbing openly. “Hush, sweetheart. Everything is going to be fine.” He wiped my tears and pressed a kiss to my forehead. “Where’s Nick?” I asked when I could breathe again. “He went home. Meghan needed rest, and Ivan was getting anxious.” I nodded and turned back toward Ryan just as he said, “If it were me, I’d have told you not to bother. But it’s my wife, and she needs you right now.” God. My husband earned more points in that second than I could ever count. He made me fall in love with him all over again, just like
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
ROSE “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
RYAN When I reached the mansion, I tried to shrug off the dreadful feeling that was haunting me since I had opened the parcel delivered last week at the house with Rose’s name on it. It was just a matter of luck that she didn’t get to it first, and it was only because we had an argument that tim
ROSE I was spent and every cell in my body was throbbing with over stimulation. But Ryan was relentless, just because I said something I shouldn’t. “P-please," I sobbed, "Stop…” My head shaking from side to side as my fingers clutched the comforter below. I didn’t think I could take any more
