Marilyn’s POV

I blamed the wine.

That was the only explanation for why I walked into the hotel bar wearing a silk black dress and somehow ended up sitting beside Liam Hayes again.

The place was warm and elegant, filled with soft Hawaiian music and dim golden lighting. Couples laughed quietly around the room while bartenders moved gracefully behind the counter.

It should have been romantic.

Instead, I came here trying to escape my thoughts.

Big mistake.

Because the moment I entered

  • Sinful Attraction    Chapter 3: My Bodyguard

    Behind Closed Doors Roman's POV The first rule of infiltration was simple. Watch. The second was even simpler. Never let anyone know you're watching. Three days. I'd been inside Viktor Volkov's mansion for exactly three days. Long enough to learn the routines. The security guards changed shifts every six hours. The house staff gathered in the kitchen every evening at eight. Viktor left for campaign headquarters before nine every morning and rarely returned before sunset. The east wing remained locked at all times. And Valentina Volkov... She was nothing like the woman the tabloids described. The newspapers called her spoiled. The servants called her impossible. The truth was far more complicated. She shouted. She complained. She spent absurd amounts of money. But I'd also watched her secretly slip cash into a gardener's pocket after learning his wife needed surgery. I'd seen her buy every bouquet from an elderly florist whose shop never had

  • Sinful Attraction    Chapter 2: My Bodyguard

    The Ice Queen Valentina's POV People think I wake up happy. If only they knew. I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror while Sofia fastened the zipper of my ivory silk dress. A diamond necklace rested against my collarbone, and matching earrings sparkled beneath my dark hair. I looked exactly like the woman every magazine loved to write about. Russia's Most Beautiful First Lady-to-Be. The Billionaire's Perfect Wife. The Ice Queen. I hated every one of those titles. "You're squeezing my waist too tight," I muttered. Sofia immediately loosened her grip. "I'm sorry, Madam." I glanced at her through the mirror. "You apologize too much." She lowered her head. "Old habits." In this house, everyone apologized. Even when they had done nothing wrong. Especially when they had done nothing wrong. I reached for a tube of lipstick and applied another coat. Perfect. Everything had to be perfect. Perfect women didn't cry. Perfect wives didn't co

  • Sinful Attraction     Chapter 1: My Bodyguard

    The Devil's HouseRoman's POV One month. It had been exactly one month since I buried my father. Thirty-one days since the only man I had ever feared was lowered into the frozen earth beneath a gray Moscow sky. Thirty-one days since I stood beside his grave wearing a black suit. I didn't cry. I couldn't. Not after twenty years apart. Not after spending two decades convincing myself he had chosen his principles over me. All I felt was regret. Regret that I never called him more than twice a year. Regret that our conversations always ended the same way. *"How are you, Roman?"* *"I'm fine."** *"Take care of yourself."** *"You too."* Neither of us ever said the words we wanted to say. I miss you. Come home. I'm sorry. Now one of us never would. A knock interrupted my thoughts. The study door opened before I could answer. "Still staring at the same file?" I looked up and couldn't stop the faint smile tugging at my lips. Nikolai. The only brother I had ever known.

  • Sinful Attraction    Chapter 13: My Ex-Best Friend's Son

    Marilyn’s POV I stopped going to work after the restaurant incident. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t face Liam. Every time I closed my eyes, I kept hearing Carina’s voice over and over again. *What the hell are you doing with my son?* The humiliation of that moment still burned inside me. Not because Liam was younger than me—I already knew that. But because somehow fate had decided to tie us together in the most complicated way possible. Out of everyone in New York… I had fallen in love with the son of the woman who destroyed my marriage. Sometimes life truly had a cruel sense of humor. The first day I stayed home, I told myself I just needed space to think. The second day, I realized I was hiding. By the third day, my apartment already felt suffocating. I barely ate. Barely slept. My thoughts kept returning to Liam no matter how hard I tried pushing him away. His smile. His voice. The way he always looked at me like I was the most important woman in th

  • Sinful Attraction    Chapter 12: My Ex-Best Friend's Son

    Marilyn’s POV Dinner with Liam was supposed to help define whatever strange relationship existed between us. Instead, it became the night my entire world exploded again. After work, Liam drove us to one of the most luxurious restaurants in Manhattan. The building itself looked expensive from outside, glowing with golden lights while expensive cars lined the entrance. “You really like dramatic places,” I muttered while stepping out of the car. Liam smirked immediately. “You deserve dramatic places.” God. That man flirted like breathing came naturally to him. The restaurant inside was even more beautiful. Crystal chandeliers. Soft piano music. Elegant candlelit tables. People dressed in designer clothing speaking quietly over expensive wine. Definitely not somewhere I usually came anymore. The hostess smiled politely the moment she saw Liam. “Good evening, Mr. Hayes. Your reservation is ready.” Of course they knew him personally. Liam placed his hand lightly against my

  • Sinful Attraction    Chapter 11: My Ex-Best Friend's Son

    Marilyn’s POV Three weeks into working at Hayes Muse, I finally started feeling like myself again. Not Anthony’s ex-wife. Not the woman the internet pitied. Not the betrayed best friend. Just Marilyn. And honestly? It felt amazing. Every morning I woke up excited to go to work again. I loved training the models, helping them perfect their runway walks, teaching them confidence and posture. Some of the girls reminded me of myself years ago. Young. Nervous. Desperate to succeed. The fashion industry could be brutal, especially to insecure girls, so I made sure my training sessions felt safe instead of toxic. And slowly, the models started trusting me. Respecting me. Even the difficult ones listened when I spoke. For the first time in years, I finally had something that belonged completely to me again. Well… Almost completely. Because Liam Hayes refused to let me breathe peacefully for more than five minutes. “Your posture is terrible today.” I

    Isabella’s POV I stared at the result portal on my laptop screen, my heart pounding so hard against my chest that I thought I might pass out. First Class. A shaky laugh escaped my lips as tears gathered in my eyes. I had done it. After four years of sleepless nights, endless lectures, skipp

  • Sinful Attraction    Chapter 10: The Widow’s Forbidden Desires

    Edwin forgot how to breathe. Arabella stood before him wrapped in candlelight and pale silk, her dark cloak pooled at her feet like surrender itself. For several dangerous seconds, he could only stare. God. She had come to him. Not by accident. Not through coincidence. But willingly

  • Sinful Attraction    Chapter 13: Forbidden Desires For My Best Friend's Dad

    The storm kept us trapped in Cornwall for more than a week. Seven dangerous, intoxicating days alone with Sebastian Blackwood. And somehow, every single day only pulled me deeper into him. The rain never seemed to stop. Every morning I woke up tangled in his arms while thunder rolled outs

  • Sinful Attraction    Chapter 5: Forbidden Desires For My Best Friend’s Dad

    Isabella’s POV My entire body froze the moment I heard Sebastian’s voice behind me. Slowly, I turned around. He stood near the staircase wearing black sweatpants and a fitted dark shirt that made him look unfairly attractive this early in the morning. His dark hair looked slightly messy
