One Reckless Night With Mr. CEO Chapter Twenty-five: Owen.
The silence of the suite was not letting me rest. I lay rigid, consumed by the agonizing awareness of Tessa's presence inches away.My body was coiled with tension, every nerve ending screaming a violation of the control I had built my life upon.This was a necessity, I told myself. Yet, the smell of her shampoo, the soft sound of her even breathing made me want to pull her close, to hold her against my bare chest and stroke her hair.A vulnerability I could not afford.I rose slowly from the bed trying not to wake her, the pre-dawn stillness filling the room. I ignored the faint light catching the silk duvet and walked directly to my study, wanting to focus only on data, the only constant I trusted. After a while of going through news posts, headlines, and internal company reports, I confirmed my fear. My mother was behind the takeover attempt. She was using her own money and my father's old moral mistake to take over the company. But there was no way she could win. She was not m

I forced myself to pull away from Owen, the heat of his aggressive, demanding kiss still searing my lips.My hands braced against his chest, pushing him away for distance as I fought to control myself.“That was not for the media, was it?” I whispered, my voice tight with a lingering shock of passion.“You said we would only be intimate in public…on camera. You broke the deal.” Owen's eyes had turned dark, a controlled storm of frustration and intense lust. He did not deny it.“Maybe I am just trying to make peace with a new reality.”“What reality would that be?” I asked, slightly hoping he'd give me a romantic answer that would leave me shaken. But instead he released me and walked to the colossal window, turning his back to me. Probably to wrestle his control, to put it back into place.Was this man capable of emotions?...I had no idea.“I know you hate me, but it has to be like this for now. Juliette will definitely come for you. Your reaction is the leverage she will use. She d

The lights of the documentary crew immediately focused on us. The director, Sarah rushed over, her face masked with professional excitement, this was viral news for them. “Mr. Carter! Ms. Hayes! We were so worried! The newsfeeds are saying there was an incident!” Owen didn't release me. He simply tightened his hold, his voice deep with fatigue.“We had an argument, and it was interrupted by an overly aggressive physical pursuit by paparazzi. Tessa was shaken, I had to ensure her safety, which is my absolute priority.”I played my part, leaning to his side, absorbing the physical heat of his body. I didn't have to fake the residual tremor. My voice was low, and I made sure my hand lingered on his chest as I spoke.“I'm fine. Just exhausted.” I murmured.“I realized…I just need him near me. That's all.” If I knew I could be this good at lying, maybe I'd have done it more. The director bought the lie, a satisfied look plastered on her face, already calculating the ratings boost from o

The terror I felt was filled with raw, primal shock of watching the man who u had been with for years, a man who I had just manipulated being violently erased.I had lured Austin to the Grand Central to collect the evidence, but now someone in a professional cleaning suit was dragging him into the shadows. My trap had backfired.I sprinted towards the unused exit, screaming Austin's name, my mind rejecting the grim of the sight. But before I could take a second step, a wall of purr force slammed into my back. A massive arm locked around my waist, wrenching me off the ground and spinning me hard toward a set of service doors.“Stop!” Owen's voice was a low snarl right beside my ear. “They are clean-up Tessa, there’s no negotiating with them.” He didn't waste time on the doors, he shoved me through a small, unmarked staff entrance, and we stumbled down a dark, steep flight of concrete stairs.The air immediately changed, becoming cooler, damper, and thick with a metallic scent of exh

The drive to the Grand Central Terminal was filled with brittle silence. I pushed the secure sedan through the evening traffic. Tessa sat rigidly beside me, clutching the burner phone in her right hand like it was the only thing grounding her to reality.Her expression was deeply troubled, her delicate brows furrowed into a serious concern. She was probably feeling bad about what I made her do to Austin, manipulating her ex boyfriend for the good of my company.I felt a tight, hard twist of guilt in my chest. I hated that I had involved her in this, forcing her to leverage her own pain, but I had no choice. She was the key.She hadn't trusted me completely to let me know every bit of information she had about Austin, but she was the only one who could truly convince him. She had sold the lie to Austin perfectly. She proved she was capable of the strategic cruelty that was needed to survive my world. It was a mirror of my own professional instincts, deepening my admiration."Listen

I gripped the burner phone tighter, the plastic slick with my palm sweat.Listening to Austin's desperate denial at the other end of the phone, I pushed my voice to be cold and steady."No! She's paying me tonight!" Austin protested. He sounded like the pathetic, self pitying man I had finally walked away from."She's going to send an aide to pick up the materials, she isn't going to meet you directly." I had to sell the betrayal, make him believe Juliette was already sacrificing him. "She thinks you are a liability now Austin. The moment she gets those notes, she'll frame you for the entire leak. And Owen would make sure you never get a job anywhere else. If you don't do something, you're finished."A loud silence followed. He was contemplating his next move. I waited at the other end of the line, letting the terror I had created sink in. "There's a catch, isn't there? What do you want?" he said, the fight completely draining in his voice. "I want the notes." I said, laying out
