Hellena stopped on the third step from the bottom of the staircase. She frowned slightly as she looked at Kael, who was still standing stiffly with his suit jacket draped over his arm. His gaze was so intense, dark, and as though it was stripping her appearance bare from head to toe.

"Is there something wrong with my outfit, Mr. Kael?" Hellena asked. Her voice was calm, yet it carried a strong sense of self-defense. She lightly smoothed the folds of her maroon velvet dress. "Mrs. Hansel chose t

    "Kael, what is the meaning of this behavior?" Mrs. Hansel immediately rose from her seat, glaring at her son with eyes filled with reproach. "She's having dinner with me and our guests. Mind your manners!"Kael paid no attention whatsoever to his mother's reprimand. His storm-darkened eyes remained locked on Hellena's face as she stood frozen in place. Without caring about Mrs. Sarah's shocked expression or Julian's disapproving gaze, Kael's strong hand swiftly reached out and gripped Hellena's wrist."We're going home now, Hellena," Kael hissed, his voice so low and filled with an authority that left no room for argument."Mr. Kael, let go—"Grab!With one forceful tug, Kael pulled Hellena's curvy body hard enough that she was forced to rise from her chair. His grip around her wrist was firm, restraining her movements without physically hurting her, yet strong enough to demonstrate absolute dominance.Seeing that, Julian immediately stood up as well, his brows knitting together in ob

    The classic European-style restaurant in the heart of the capital was exceptionally tranquil that evening. The soft melody of slow-tempo jazz drifted gently through the sturdy marble pillars. In one corner of the VIP section, Hellena sat respectfully beside Mrs. Hansel. Across the table sat a glamorous middle-aged woman accompanied by a young man who was as tall as Kael, dressed in a casual suit without a tie."So this is your daughter-in-law, Hansel? Goodness, she's absolutely lovely," Mrs. Sarah, Mrs. Hansel's longtime friend, remarked as she rested her chin on her hand with a broad smile. Her gaze shifted to the young man beside her. "Let me introduce my son, Julian. He just returned after completing his master's degree in London."Julian extended his right hand toward Hellena, his gentle eyes looking directly into her round ones. "Hello, Hellena. Just call me Julian. It's an honor to meet you tonight."Hellena briefly accepted the handshake, offering him a polite, professional smi

    Hellena stopped on the third step from the bottom of the staircase. She frowned slightly as she looked at Kael, who was still standing stiffly with his suit jacket draped over his arm. His gaze was so intense, dark, and as though it was stripping her appearance bare from head to toe."Is there something wrong with my outfit, Mr. Kael?" Hellena asked. Her voice was calm, yet it carried a strong sense of self-defense. She lightly smoothed the folds of her maroon velvet dress. "Mrs. Hansel chose this dress. She was the one who asked me to wear it tonight."Kael took one step forward, closing the distance between them until the masculine scent lingering on him from work blended with the delicate fragrance of jasmine surrounding Hellena. His jaw tightened. "That dress is too tight, Hellena. And the neckline... is too low."Hellena looked straight into Kael's dark eyes. A second later, she almost scoffed if she had not remembered her place. "It's a standard cut for a formal evening gown, Si

    The clock on the wall of the secretary's cubicle had just struck four in the afternoon when Hellena neatly tucked the last stack of documents into her desk drawer. She let out a slow breath, trying to dispel the lingering tension that had settled in her chest since the incident with the scattered files earlier that afternoon. After making sure her appearance was impeccable, she walked toward the CEO's office, knocked three times, then turned the doorknob.Kael was still seated behind his executive desk, his eyes fixed on the screen of his phone with a deep furrow between his brows. He did not even look up when Hellena stepped inside and stopped in front of his desk."Mr. Kael," Hellena called, deliberately keeping her voice as formal as possible. "If there are no more urgent documents that require your review, I would like to request permission to leave work a little early this afternoon."Kael's fingers immediately stopped moving across the screen. He slowly lifted his head, staring

    The hands of the clock on the CEO's office wall had long passed two in the afternoon, yet the tension on the thirty-sixth floor had not eased in the slightest.Kael repeatedly loosened the knot of his gray tie, which seemed to be tightening around his strong neck with every passing minute. His thoughts were a complete mess. Not a single word from the market analysis document displayed on his computer monitor for the past hour had managed to register in his mind. Every time he tried to focus, the image of Hellena's face and her luscious lips would force its way into his thoughts without permission.Knock! Knock! Knock!The steady knock on the door instantly severed the thread of Kael's wandering thoughts.The man straightened his back and cleared his throat briefly to steady the hoarseness that had suddenly crept into his voice.“Come in.”The large oak door swung open, and Hellena stepped inside with graceful, composed strides. In her small hands, she carried a black leather folder co

    The thirty-sixth floor of the Willian Group building was shrouded in an atmosphere far more oppressive than usual that morning. The moment the private elevator doors chimed open, Kael stepped out with his jaw firmly set, his gaze fixed straight ahead, as cold as ice untouched by sunlight. The dark gray suit Hellena had chosen for him earlier that morning fit perfectly against his tall frame, yet his aura radiated a sense of danger that prompted the staff in the corridor to lower their heads immediately, unwilling to invite trouble.Kael deliberately quickened his stride as he passed the secretary cubicles. Without sparing a single glance toward the curvy woman seated there, he pushed open the door to his office with a forceful shove.Click.As soon as the door closed, Kael released a long breath through his nose, trying to calm the erratic pounding of his heart. He tossed his work bag onto the marble desk before walking toward the large window overlooking the city skyline. Gripping th

    The clock on the master bedroom wall already pointed to six in the evening. The atmosphere inside the room was silent, leaving only an invisible tension that had been hanging around since their return from the office. Hellena stood in front of the large mirror, staring at her own reflection. She wa

    The silence inside the CEO’s main office felt far more oppressive than usual. Hellena stood frozen in front of the large teak desk belonging to Kael, clutching a clipboard filled with work schedules with both hands tightly gripping each other. She lowered her head, pretending to be very busy readin
