Thea tossed her bag onto the bed before sinking into her bed, taking off her shoes. It's been a long and rather successful day.

Her mind roamed back to Adam and how he had shown up unannounced. Thea felt a pinch in her heart; he knew where to find her and yet, he didn't come to apologise to her, to tell her he trusts her.

But the only time he does show up, it's to ask if she could save his company from drowning in debt.

A slow smile crept across Thea’s face. This was exactly what she had wanted.

For Adam to see Posy’s incompetence, to be forced to swallow his pride and beg her, Thea, for help. The pain of his betrayal still lingered, a dull ache in her chest, but it was now overshadowed by a quiet sense of satisfaction.

The game, it seemed, was back on.

Her phone was back in her hand, her thumb hovering over the contacts. She couldn't call Adam back just yet. She needed to let him sweat, to let the silence and the financial losses work their magic.

No, her next target was the s

  • Revenge In Silk Sheets   Aftereffect

    Thea sat pressed against the leather seat of the limousine, her breathing uneven, as though each inhale carried the weight of everything she had just witnessed. The gala, the whispers, the scandal of Seth claiming her as his wife…it was still unraveling in her head like a thread she couldn’t hold onto.But none of that compared to the revelation that had hit her hardest.Seth Blackwood wasn’t just the elusive billionaire whose name was whispered in high circles. He wasn’t just the mysterious man she had stumbled into that night when her world shattered. He wasn’t just the husband who appeared to protect her when everyone else wanted her destroyed.He was the owner of Mayqueen.Her lips parted slightly as she stared out of the tinted glass, watching Zean City’s lights streak by in long, blurred lines. She could see the reflections of cars passing, the towering skyscrapers lit up everywhere.Her mind screamed questions, but her tongue was frozen. She hugged herself, fingers digging into

  • Revenge In Silk Sheets   Mayqueen Gala #3

    The banquet carried on but the hall had not recovered from Seth’s revelation. Whispers still snaked between jeweled women and tuxedoed men, every voice carrying disbelief. Thea Balmero…no, Thea Blackwood…stood openly beside the most powerful man in the room. It was unthinkable, and yet undeniable.Runes stood stiff, his jaw locked so tightly a vein pulsed along his temple. His glass of champagne trembled in his hand, bubbles catching the light like sparks threatening to ignite. The orchestra began playing again, awkwardly, the notes too loud against the quiet of the crowd, but nothing could disguise the humiliation pressing against Runes.His reputation was almost ruined by the same woman who now stood at Seth’s side. And now the man he had hoped to impress, to ally with, had chosen her…married her without a word.The room moved on but Runes could not. His eyes went over to Thea still standing right next to Seth as he introduced her to a few of his business partners.Her smile remain

  • Revenge In Silk Sheets   Mayqueen Gala #2

    The air in the banquet hall was tight with anticipation, a fragile silence stretched thin across the hall.Seth Blackwood walked forward with unhurried precision, his presence commanding without effort. The crowd parted instinctively as though the floor itself bent to accommodate his path. His gaze never left Thea, who stood flanked by two guards, poised but vulnerable.“Release her,” Seth said, his voice measured yet final.The two guards froze, torn between the order they had received from Runes and the authority now standing before them. It was Seth Blackwood, the CEO of Blackwood Empire and Mayqueen industries, one of the most powerful men not only in the country but in the world. His words were not a request but law.Immediately, the guards stepped back. One of them muttered an apology to Thea before retreating.Thea exhaled quietly, though her chest was tight. Relief and dread tangled within her as Seth got closer.Seth moved closer. His eyes swept over her face, her shoulders,

  • Revenge In Silk Sheets   The Mayqueen Gala

    The banquet hall of the Imperial Grand in Zean City glittered with chandeliers that spilled light across marble floors. The Mayqueen annual gala had always been a spectacle, but this year felt grander than ever. The ceiling shimmered, the walls draped in velvet banners marked with the insignias of old families and corporations that had clawed their way into power. Waiters in white gloves glided between tables carrying champagne flutes, and an orchestra in the corner with instruments, their music weaving seamlessly into the polite conversation, laughter, and the clink of wineglass. Everywhere one looked, prestige shimmered. Dresses that could pay a month’s rent for a city block trailed across the floor, jewels winked on wrists and necks, and smiles masked daggers as the top dogs of industry mingled beneath the chandelier light.The doors parted as though they had been waiting for him. Rune's tailored black tuxedo fit like a second skin, and draped over his arm was Posy, glittering in

  • Revenge In Silk Sheets   Office Romances

    Thea watched Runes walk out of the reception area, a confident and arrogant look on his face. She smirked, let's see how that plays out for him. Just as she was about to sit down again, a young woman in a tailored suit walked over to her."Ms. Thea?" the receptionist asked, a polite smile on her face. "Mr. Blackwood asked me to give you this. It's a visitor's pass. Please wear it and take the elevator to the top floor. His assistant will meet you there."Thea took the pass, a small, knowing smile on her face. She attached it to her dress and walked to the elevator. Her gown, a deep emerald color, hugged her body in a way that showed her curves without revealing much. It was a dress that was both provocative and elegant.She stepped out of the elevator and was met by a woman who directed her to Seth's office. The door was slightly open. Thea could hear the low murmur of voices. She peeped in, eyes scanning the room in silence.Seth was at the head of a long, dark wood table. Several

  • Revenge In Silk Sheets   Runes Sterling

    Thea sat at a quiet, corner table in the reception area of the Blackwood company . The sound of soft music and conversation filled the air. A smile danced on her lips as she recalled how last night had played out. Seth was exceptionally attentive, his kisses passionate and delicate on her skin. And the love making felt different. She decided to make a stop at the company today as per his request. She had no clue what to expect.Thea decided to distract herself with the news. Her fingers scrolled through feed after feed, and paused on a financial report. The report showed a continued decline in Runes’s company shares. The sight of the red numbers gave her a feeling of satisfaction. She knew it was working.A voice from behind her broke her focus. It was a familiar voice, one she had hoped to avoid."Well, well. Look what we have here," Runes said, a fake, pleasant tone in his voice. He walked closer, a condescending smile on his face.Thea looked up, her expression calm. "Runes. I w
