Blackness swallowed everything.

Not the soft kind — not darkness you blink into.

This was violent. Sudden. Absolute.

For a strangled heartbeat, there was no sound.

No light.

No Zane.

Just the roaring pulse in my ears and the metallic taste of panic on my tongue.

Then — a hand found mine.

Large. Unmistakably his.

“Vivian.”

His voice cut through the dark like a blade — low, steady, furious in a way that made my knees weak. “It’s just the cabin power. Stay down.”

Stay down.

As if I could move even if I wanted to.

The jet tilted, not enough to throw me, but enough to make my stomach lurch. I felt Zane shift closer, pulling me against something solid — his chest, his coat, his heat.

The emergency lights flickered once… twice…

Then snapped on.

Dim red. Ominous.

Enough to see silhouettes — shadows that didn’t belong on a private jet.

Three men.

Armed.

Standing in the narrow aisle between us and the cockpit.

The one in front — tall, hood up, jaw tight — pointed his gun at Zane like this was s

    The voice over the intercom crackled again, low and distorted.“Mr. Wilde,” the stranger drawled, “you and your little… guest… will sit tight. Unless you want this jet to drop out of the sky.”My heart stopped.Not skipped — stopped.Zane’s jaw clenched hard enough to crack. He stepped in front of me, shielding me with his body again.“Who are you?” he demanded.A small chuckle bled through the speakers.“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that we’re not finished. Not until you give me what I want.”Zane’s shoulders went rigid.Something tightened in the air around him — something dark, vicious, personal.“I’m not giving you anything,” he ground out.“Oh… I think you will,” the voice replied smoothly. “Unless you want this plane you’re so proud of to make a very sudden meeting with the Atlantic Ocean.”Cold washed down my spine.The jet tilted sharply — once, twice — as though punctuating the threat.Zane cursed under his breath and grabbed the armrest of the nearest chair.“

    I spent the next morning avoiding mirrors.Because every time I caught my reflection, all I saw was the girl who let her boss take her apart in his office — the girl who let Zane Wilde kiss her like she belonged to him.Almost.Almost more than a kiss.Almost a mistake I would’ve never recovered from.If Clarisaa hadn’t knocked on the damn door, interrupting the way Zane’s hands were already sliding under my blouse, I wasn’t sure what would’ve stopped us.No… I knew exactly what would’ve stopped us.Nothing.And that terrified me.So I stayed busy — or pretended to — hiding in corners of the PR floor, reorganizing files that didn’t need reorganizing, and taking long routes to avoid the executive elevators. But by noon, my luck shattered with three soft knocks on my cubicle wall.“Vivian?”My supervisor, peeked in with a too-bright smile. “You’re traveling with Mr. Wilde this afternoon.”My heart plummeted to my stomach. “I—Sorry? Traveling?”“Yes. The Switzerland partnership wants a f

    Zane made a low sound in his throat—hungry, pleased—and suddenly the kiss wasn’t slow at all. His hand slid to my waist, pulling me against him, his other hand cupped the back of my neck. My fingers tangled in his shirt without my permission.This was wrong.This was dangerous.This felt incredible.He deepened the kiss, mouth claiming mine like he’d been holding back for far too long. His lips moved to my jaw, to my throat, heat licking down my body—A sharp knock cracked the moment in half.We froze.Zane let out a breath against my skin. “Of course.”The door opened before he could speak.Clarissa stepped in.And the look in her eyes—Oh, she saw.She definitely saw.“Mr. Wilde,” she said slowly, “I didn’t realize you were… occupied.”I hurried to put space between us, wiping at my mouth, pushing my hair back, trying to not look exactly like someone who had just been kissed senseless.Clarissa’s gaze locked on me—cold, cutting, openly disgusted.“Of course, Vivian it is, right?” He

    My heels clicked softly against the polished marble as I followed Elise down the corridor toward the PR wing. The Executive Floor felt different from everywhere else — colder, sharper, like every wall had the ability to remember your secrets.“This way,” Elise said, smiling politely. “Your team has been expecting you.”Expecting me.That word made my stomach dip.Everyone here knew Zane Wilde didn’t “expect” anything — he commanded it.Which meant the moment I walked into the department, every pair of eyes would be wondering who I was… and why the CEO had chosen me.We stepped into a spacious, glass-walled conference room buzzing with energy.Five people sat around the long table.Five heads turned toward the door when I entered.Immediately, the atmosphere shifted.Some faces lit up with curiosity.Others stiffened in thinly veiled annoyance.Elise introduced me.“This is Vivian Upton. She’ll be joining us as a PR Consultant.”A girl with auburn curls and warm brown eyes grinned wide

    I spent the entire morning avoiding mirrors.Because every time I caught my reflection, all I saw was the girl who almost let her Zane Wilde take her apart in his office yesterday — the girl who let Zane Wilde kiss her, and claimed her like she belonged to him in her dream last night.I wasn’t expecting anything that morning.Not a call.Not a message.And definitely not him.After the almost-mistake in Zane Wilde’s office — that kiss that still made my knees weak when I remembered the way his breath brushed my cheek — I had decided distance was the safest choice.Avoid him.Avoid his company.Avoid the gravitational pull of his existence.I had almost succeeded too… until my phone rang.Unknown number.I nearly ignored it, but something inside me insisted.The moment I picked up, a bright, crisp voice filled my ear.“Hello, is this Vivian Upton?”“Yes?” I said cautiously.“Wonderful. This is Elise Hart, Mr. Wilde’s executive assistant.”My stomach dropped.Zane’s assistant.Calling m
