You’re mine, and I don’t let go of what’s mine. Ever.” I gasped, a shiver racing down my spine. When he pulled back, those piercing hazel eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that stole my breath. “I want you, Adrian. I want you more than I’ve ever wanted anyone—more than even my husband. So stop talking and fuck me like you’ve never fucked any woman before.” ***** On her wedding anniversary, Lena Marsh sits alone. Again. After years of being ignored by her husband, she’s done waiting for a marriage that’s already dead. Then Adrian Blackwood enters her life. He’s dangerously charming, irresistibly confident, and completely off-limits, Adrian makes Lena feel seen for the first time in years. What starts as a reckless mistake quickly becomes something far more dangerous. But Adrian isn’t the only man watching. His powerful brother, Lena’s boss—has his own obsession with her, one that grows darker with every stolen glance. And when Lena’s husband finally realizes he’s losing her, he’ll do whatever it takes to win her back. Now Lena is caught between three men who want her for very different reasons. A husband desperate for a second chance, a forbidden lover who refuses to let her go, and a powerful boss who wants to possess her completely. As hidden secrets come to light and loyalties begin to shatter, Lena discovers that she isn’t just trapped in their war. She’s the reason it started and she could be the one who destroys an empire.
ดูเพิ่มเติมI spent the next couple of weeks finalizing and rounding up everything that needed my attention. That included filling out my application to University College London for my master’s degree and getting my visa approved. Maya, on the other hand, took care of my flight details. She got me a first-class ticket even though I told her it wasn’t necessary. She insisted that this was her own way of supporting me and she wasn’t going to change her mind. So I had no option but to go ahead with it. She had also been shopping nonstop, trying to upgrade my fashion sense, as she always put it. Especially since I was going to a foreign place. And now, today is D-day. I had less than three hours to be at the airport, otherwise I’d miss my flight.“Maya, come on. You ain’t the one traveling but somehow you’re running late,” I teased, calling out to her.“Well, beauty requires perfection. And perfection requires time. So that’s not on me,” she responded almost immediately as she finally stepped out.
I didn’t bother calling Adrian, because I figured he was probably home. I went ahead anyway, deciding if he wasn’t there, then I would give him a call. I pressed the doorbell. It chimed once, echoing inside, but there was no response. I pressed it again, this time firmly as my finger lingered on the button. A few minutes later, the door swung open.It was Alexa. Staring at me like I had just dropped out of the sky, her perfectly arched eyebrows shooting up in surprise. “Hi, Alexa,” I said firmly, meeting her eyes without flinching. “Is Adrian in?”“No, he’s not,” she replied, crossing her arms and leaning against the doorframe like she owned the place. “Did you even call him to confirm if he’d be home?”I tilted my head slightly, keeping my voice steady. “No, I didn’t. Because there was no need for that.”“Well then,” she said with a smirk, “maybe you should have. Or better still, come back later when he’s—”“Yeah, no. That’s not happening.” I pushed past her gently but firmly, stepp
I had walked into this lobby several times in countless occasions over the past three years, but today, as I stepped through the revolving glass doors, it suddenly felt different. The atmosphere hung heavier, the air smelt different, the staff moved with a subdued energy. Even the exquisite portrait hanging at the reception desk.Of course. What was I expecting after everything that had happened?As I approached the reception counter, Selene’s face lit up the moment her eyes met mine. “Lena? Oh my gosh! Is this really you?” she exclaimed, leaning forward. “Where have you been? I thought perhaps Victoria fired you or something.” She lowered her voice when she said that last part, glancing around as if the walls could hear her.I chuckled softly, placing my hand on the counter to steady myself. “Hi, Selene. I know it’s been a minute. Actually, I had some personal things to take care of, that’s why I’ve been away. Although... I’m quitting, so I’m just here to pick up my things.”Her exci
I spent the next couple of days recharging, resting, basically doing anything that would help me mentally. After what Maya suggested, I decided that I was going to see Ethan today. Even though Adrian was giving me the space I needed, I still couldn’t help but think about him.I borrowed Maya’s car, and soon I was driving out towards Ethan’s house. The sky was beautiful, the sun shining brightly and painting everything in warm, golden light. Although I’ve been at his place just once, it wasn’t hard for me to locate it now. I parked the car in the underground parking lot reserved mainly for residents and headed up to his penthouse suite.I pressed the doorbell, and waited patiently. A few minutes later, he did open the door, but the surprised look on his face said I was definitely the last person he wanted to see. “Lena?” His voice cracked slightly with disbelief. “What—what are you doing here?” He asked in awe, his eyes assessing me from head to toe.“Hi, Ethan,” I replied, offering h
