Elias kissed him. Passionately.

The heat of it still burned on Jace’s lips as Elias dragged him back for another, hungrier claim. Their mouths collided again, harder, wetter, the air thick with need. Elias had kissed jace numerous times but this time he kissed Jace as though the world around them could fall apart at any moment, and he wouldn’t let go.

Jace melted against the wall, his fingers fisting in Elias’s shirt like he needed something solid to hold onto. His pulse thundered in his ears. It wasn’t just a kiss anymore—it was a battle for air, for control, for something deeper that terrified him as much as it thrilled him.

Elias’s hand slid down Jace’s side, rough and possessive, finding the hem of his shirt and pushing it up with no patience. His palm flattened against Jace’s stomach, dragging upward, feeling every quiver in his muscles. The scrape of his fingers was both scorching and grounding. Jace’s breath hitched, body betraying him, arching into the touch.

  • RUTHLESS TEMPTATION    Chapter 133: The End

    (A few days earlier)He stood there staring at the camera for almost five minutes the night he found it, feeling his heart slip lower and lower in his chest. Whoever planted it had been in his room.....Whoever planted it had been watching him..... Whoever planted it was inside his home.He felt sick just thinking about it.And the worst part? He already had a list of suspects.Morgan, Mo and Ben.Three new employees he had hired barely weeks after the separation, when everything was already falling apart. They were additions he thought would make things easier, but instead they had become shadows he did not know if he could trust.Morgan especially.The way he had looked at Jace... the way he seemed to be trying too hard to make Jace trust him.Morgan and Mo were the only ones with access to his room. And that day when he confronted them and asked whether any of them were spying on him, they both lied. They said they were with Mila, but Mila told him they were not.That alone told Jac

  • RUTHLESS TEMPTATION    Chapter 132

    Jace’s eyelids fluttered, heavy and grainy, as if someone had stuffed sand beneath them while he was unconscious. A dull ringing pressed against the inside of his skull, and for a moment he could not remember where he was, or why he felt as though his blood had turned thick and sluggish. He inhaled, expecting to smell his sofa, or the citrusy scent of the water he had been handed earlier.But the air was wrong.It was cold, damp, and smelled metallic.He opened his eyes fully, and his chest tightened.This was not his living room.He was not on any surface he recognised.The world around him came into focus slowly, cracked concrete floors, towering rust-eaten metal beams, and broken windows where the moonlight sliced in faint streaks. The place looked abandoned… an old warehouse long forgotten by everyone except ghosts and criminals. The faint drip of water echoed from somewhere distant, creating a hollow rhythm that made the silence even worse.His wrists burned.When he moved, somet

  • RUTHLESS TEMPTATION    Chapter 131

    Jace had been staring at the man for what felt like hours before the officers had forced him into the back of the van, yelling, panicking, insisting that he was not Aiden Hale. The officers had remained unmoved, professional, relentless, and in the end, it hadn’t mattered. They pulled out the identification card.Jace remembered the officer holding it up, the way Ben had squinted at it, voice shaking. “That is not me! I am Ben not Aiden!”The officer’s gaze was steady. “You already confirmed that that was your picture.”Victor’s eyes had widened in disbelief as he stared at the photo. Then, reluctantly, he had whispered, “Yes… that is me but that is not my name.”The handcuffs had clicked around Ben's wrists, cold steel biting into his skin, and the officers had forced him into the van. The engine roared to life, tires crunching against the gravel driveway as the van pulled away, carrying away the source of so much suffering. Jace walked back into his house and leaned against the wal

  • RUTHLESS TEMPTATION    Chapter 130

    The tension in the room was suffocating, dense enough to make breathing feel complicated.Aiden kept his posture relaxed, hands loose at his sides, expression neutral. Inside, however, the pressure was building and the fear had sharpened into something thin and lethal, something that forced him to stay alert, stay clever, stay several steps ahead.Because one mistake…One wrong breath…And everything would unravel.The police had set up a small workstation on the coffee table. One was typing into his system, cross-checking digital databases. The other was on the house landline, speaking to someone about biometric verification protocols. Every now and then, both officers would glance between their devices and the two suspects.Every time their eyes passed over him, Aiden’s heartbeat kicked just a little harder.He could not afford a single slip.He could not afford discovery.Then, a vibration buzzed silently through his palm. Aiden’s phone, tucked deep in his pocket.He did not react

  • RUTHLESS TEMPTATION    Chapter 129

    The silence that followed the policeman’s question was the kind of silence that ripped through the air like a blade. It trembled at the edges with tension, as though any sudden movement might shatter something fragile and unrecoverable.Aiden felt it.He felt everything.He stood perfectly still beside the real Morgan, while the police stared at them both with the hard, focused eyes of men already convinced a crime was unfolding before them. The two officers did not blink. The silence did not shift. Even the air in the room felt frozen.To anyone watching, Aiden’s face carried nothing but confusion. Perfectly acted confusion. He had practiced this kind of expression for years and now it was his only shield.Inside, though, his heart was pounding with enough force to make his hand twitch at his side.Because it was true.One of them was Aiden.And he was standing right there.If he got caught...if they uncovered the truth...if they discovered what name belonged to his real blood—It wa

  • RUTHLESS TEMPTATION    Chapter 128

    Jace had barely taken two steps after Morgan left the living room when Noah’s voice cut through the air behind him.“What is going on between you two?” Noah asked, arms folded, brows pulled down in suspicion.Jace froze. His stomach tightened painfully, and a prickling wave of anxiety crawled up the back of his neck. He turned around slowly, keeping his breathing steady even though nothing inside him felt steady at all.“It is nothing,” Jace said. “Really, Noah. It is nothing.”Noah lifted a brow. “Jace… come on. I am not blind. I saw the tension—”But before he could finish, Jace’s phone buzzed.One message.Unknown number.His heart stuttered.Jace did not even know why his hand shook as he unlocked the screen. The moment he read the message…. everything inside him dropped.“Aiden is in your house. He is disguised as Morgan.”His breath left him.His vision narrowed.A cold, clawing panic wrapped around his ribs like invisible hands pressing hard.Noah noticed. “Jace? What is it?”J
