The first thing Amelia registered was the antiseptic scent in the air. Then the steady rhythm of a monitor, and the soft hum of an air conditioner. She stirred slightly, her body aching in places she couldn’t yet name. The ceiling above her was unfamiliar, painted in soft beige, and the sheets covering her were heavier than what she was used to.

A warm hand wrapped around hers.

“You’re awake” Frederick’s voice was gravel and silk. He leaned forward from the armchair next to her hospital bed, the dark circles under his eyes deepened by the low light. “Amelia… you’re safe now.”

She blinked slowly, wincing as she tried to sit up. He adjusted her pillow immediately.

Doctors entered moments later. Two of them. One gently checked her vitals, while another moved to examine her wrists. “Minor abrasions. Nothing permanent. But she needs rest. Hydration. No high-stress environments.”

Frederick stood, hovering. “Whatever she needs, get it. Immediately.”

The doctors nodded, murmured something abo

  • Sinful Arrangement   Yours, finally.

    He tasted like desperation and hunger, like a man who had waited too long to breathe. She melted into him, her fingers digging into his hair as he lifted her off her feet."I thought I lost you," he murmured against her lips.She answered him with a moan, her legs locking around his waist. "Then take me like you mean it."He carried her through the living room, mouth never leaving hers, until they were in the bedroom. He led her to the edge of the bed, sat her down, then dropped to his knees. His hands spread her thighs apart slowly, reverently. He kissed up one leg, then the other, his tongue darting against the inside of her thigh until she was breathless and trembling.Then he tasted her.She arched off the bed, fingers tangling in his hair. He didn’t stop. Not when she moaned, not when her legs trembled. He drank in every sound, every gasp, every curse of his name. When she came, it was with his name torn from her lips like prayer.He rose and kissed her, slow and deep. She taste

  • Sinful Arrangement   The Breakthrough

    Rain had begun to pour again, thick sheets sweeping over the city like a shroud. Inside the surveillance truck stationed just outside the safe house, the feed flickered before it cleared. It was sharp and unmistakable. The camera zoomed in. A figure. An earring glinting beneath the frame of the window. Luke leaned forward, adrenaline pulsing in his ears. "That's her." Frederick was already on his feet before the words fully registered. He stormed out of the truck, barking orders. The tactical team, dressed in dark gear and carrying silenced weapons, mobilized instantly. His voice was steel. "Move. Now." The drive to the perimeter was less than three minutes, but every second shredded his nerves. They had been so close before, always a step behind. But now, it was her. It had to be. The hidden safe house they'd tracked through months of old property purchases and backdoor transactions finally gave them something solid. Frederick's black SUV screeched to a stop behind the lead vehicl

  • Sinful Arrangement   The Hunt Begins

    The clock ticked past midnight, and Blackwell Empire's war room thrummed with tension. Frederick stood hunched over the spread of surveillance images and phone records. His jaw clenched, fingers twitching as he sorted through every scrap of data, voice command, satellite ping, and encrypted message they had extracted since Amelia vanished.Luke stood beside him, unblinking, pale. "We’ve verified the call made to the burner. Last known location traces back to a private dock off Delmar. But they moved her."Frederick’s eyes narrowed. His voice, when it came, was low and lethal. "Get the Phantom Team. We're done playing by their rules."Within the hour, the private jet he rarely used was prepared. The Phantom Team who were men trained not by traditional security but through silent contracts, forged in conflict zones and black-budget programs, were briefed. The orders were simple. Retrieve her. Burn through anyone who stood in the way.As they flew, Luke filled Frederick in. "Vance's last

  • Sinful Arrangement   The Monster Inside Me

    The lights in the strategy room burned low. Frederick stood over a spread of documents, eyes scanning every inch like a predator watching his prey. Luke was beside him, flipping through security reports and encrypted communications. Since Amelia disappeared, Frederick hadn’t slept more than a few hours in total. Rage curled beneath his skin, silent but ever-burning. He was a man on the edge, one step from letting the monster inside him loose. Jane had barged in that morning. Her face pale, eyes wide. She hadn’t been able to reach Amelia since the day before. Even the burner phone was off. The part of him he'd struggled to bury was coming back alive and she was the one bringing out this part of him. “She’s not at her clinic. She’s not picking my calls,” Jane had said, breathless. “I think something’s happened.” Frederick hadn’t said a word. He’d simply nodded once and turned to Luke. “Bring him up.” Down in the office basement, the man they’d held since the contract theft sat str

  • Sinful Arrangement   Thin Air

    Jane burst into Frederick’s office just as he was deep in discussion with Luke, the sharp slam of the door against the wall turning heads. She didn’t bother with pleasantries. Her eyes were wild, her voice tight. "I can’t reach her. The burner. We...we had one she used to call me every morning and..and....now she’s not picking up." Frederick straightened, every chart and plan he'd been reviewing falling away. "What do you mean you can’t reach her?" "I mean she’s gone, Frederick," Jane snapped, tossing her phone onto the table. "She told me she was going to stay at the old retreat home for medica for a few days. Said she needed air. But now...nothing. No calls. No texts. She was checking in every night, and now it’s silent." Luke frowned. "We should’ve had eyes on her." Frederick ran both hands down his face, something heavy curling in his gut. It had been only days since she moved back to the penthouse under contractual obligation, but the tension between them had pushed her furt
