Sinful Escape A Dangerous Proposition
Chapter 21: A Dangerous PropositionSera’s POVThe room was dimly lit, the glow of the city skyline casting sharp shadows against Raven’s face. She sat on the edge of my bed, her legs crossed, a cigarette smoldering between her fingers.I watched the tendrils of smoke curl into the air, feeling the weight of her words settle between us."Why don’t we just kill him?"My breath hitched.I knew Raven was ruthless, but I never thought she’d suggest this.I swallowed, forcing out a laugh. “You can’t be serious.”Raven exhaled, her gaze sharp and unreadable. “Why not?” She tilted her head. “You’ve taken everything from him. He knows now. He’s dangerous. If we don’t finish him off, he will come back for you.”I stiffened, turning my back to her as I stared at my reflection in the vanity mirror. My fingers traced over the bruises Ethan had left on my wrist the night before. The anger in his eyes. The promise of destruction in his voice.Ethan was dangerous.I had spent years under his thumb,

Chapter 22: Slow Poison and Burning ObsessionSera’s POVI sat at the small table in Raven’s apartment, my fingers trembling as I traced the rim of my wine glass. The city lights outside blurred into streaks of white and gold, but my mind was sharper than ever.“I can’t just leave,” I whispered, more to myself than to Raven. “Not without consequences.”Raven leaned against the counter, her dark eyes piercing through me. She wasn’t the type to sugarcoat things. “Then don’t leave. Destroy him instead.”I let out a breath, shaking my head. “You make it sound so easy.”“It is easy, Sera.” She walked toward me, placing her hands on the table, forcing me to meet her gaze. “Ethan thinks he owns you. He thinks you’ll always be under his control. Prove him wrong.”My heart pounded. I had already begun laying traps—money moved to secret accounts, fake lipstick stains on his clothes, suspicious messages on his phone. I had started chipping away at his sanity, but it wasn’t enough.I needed him w

Investors are rallying back, and support for Carter Enterprises is growing once again."I stood there, frozen.

But I wasn’t the woman he thought I was anymore.I turned my head slightly, watching him sleep beside me, his breathing deep and steady. He looked so peaceful—so disgustingly at ease.How could he sleep so soundly after everything?

Raven was inside—Ethan had taken her, and I was here to get her back.The location I had stolen from Ethan’s phone led me to this industrial hellhole, a place meant to keep people hidden. But Ethan underestimated me. He thought I was weak, caged, just his obedient little wife.He was so fucking wrong.I stepped out of the car, my black hoodie pulled over my head, blending into the darkness.

A crystal glass of whiskey dangled from his fingers, the liquid swirling lazily as he took a slow sip. His dark eyes never left me.“Drink?” he offered, swirling the amber liquid. His voice held that infuriating arrogance, as if he still had control over me. “We both know you need it.”I smirked, but there was no humor behind it. “I don’t need anything from you anymore.”His jaw clenched slightly, but the smirk remained. “You always say that, Sera.” He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “And yet, here you are.

But my instincts had sharpened over the years, and I could sense her presence before I heard her heels.I stepped out of the shower, steam clinging to my skin, water dripping down my chest. I didn’t bother grabbing a towel. This was my space. My kingdom. If she wandered in, then she would have to face me as I was.And she did.Sera—no, Arianna—stood at the door, wearing a fitted black dress that left too little to the imagination. Her eyes, sharp and dark, trailed over my bare body with open hunger. She didn’t flinch. Didn’t blush.Instead, she licked her bottom lip.“Enjoying the view?” I asked dryly, hand running through my wet hair.“I was hoping for a distraction,” she murmured, stepping inside without permission. “And you look… delicious.”I reached for a towel, but she stopped me with a look. A wicked look.“I’m horny, Leon,” she said plainly, her voice calm, devoid of shame. “I need to

Chapter 12: Mind Games and Melted SteelSERA'S POVEverything about Raven screamed control—flawless smiles, pristine heels, that constant click of confidence whenever she walked into a room. But even queens could crumble. And tonight, I wanted to see her crack.I started small. An anonymous gift box on her desk—a perfume she once gifted me. A faint trace of jasmine that lingered in the air like a ghost. Then, the note:"You smell like regret."No name. No signature.I watched from a distance, sipping wine behind tinted glass as Raven tore open the box and paled. Her fingers trembled, and for a moment, the facade cracked. She clutched the note as if it might bite her.Phase one: complete.I began planting more signs. A lipstick she couldn’t find in months suddenly reappeared on her dressing table.

Another opportunity to strike.Raven's name had grown in socialite circles ever since Ethan started grooming her to be the new face of his expanding empire.

The red gown I wore shimmered under the light—an open back, slit high, neckline deep, daring. Temptation sewn into silk.I was no longer the girl who cried in the dark. I was Arianna Vale. And tonight, I was a weapon.Raven’s gala was opulence dressed in champagne. Celebrities mingled with politicians. Billionaires toasted to corruption.

Sinful Escape A Beautiful Weapon
Chapter 10 - A Beautiful WeaponSERA'S POVThe low hum of jazz filtered through the penthouse suite. My heels clicked against the polished floor as I poured wine into two glasses, wearing a silk robe that clung to every curve. Across from me sat Damien Kerrick, one of Ethan’s most trusted financial advisors. A man with weak principles, expensive tastes, and a predictable weakness for beautiful women.I was all of those things tonight.He smiled like he’d already won, like he had any idea what game he was playing. I slid the glass across the table, leaned forward just enough to show a glimpse of the black lace beneath the robe, and watched him swallow hard."To secrets," I said, raising my glass.He chuckled. "And to the women who keep them well."Idiot.Ten minutes later, he was in my bed, drunk on my body and lust. He didn’t notice when I slipped out of his arms, didn’t stir as I padded across the room and opened his briefcase.Passwords were no match for me. I had memorized the sequ
Sinful Escape Dangerous Intrusions and Sweet Temptations
Chapter 9: Dangerous Intrusions and Sweet TemptationsSERA'S POVBreaking into William Harlow’s estate was child’s play. Ethan’s investor was a paranoid man with a taste for young women and Cuban cigars—distractions that left his guards sloppy. I’d slipped through the side gate wearing a cleaner’s uniform, a feather duster in hand and knives hidden in the folds of my coat. I didn’t need Leon’s permission. I didn’t need his damn guidance. I was Sera Carter—no, Arianna Vale now—and I knew how to destroy men like Harlow without anyone’s help.The office was dark, curtains drawn. I moved with calculated ease, searching for the files—documents that would confirm his laundering activities for Ethan. The plan was simple: grab evidence, plant a bug, vanish before anyone noticed.But nothing ever stayed simple for long.I heard them before I saw them. Heavy boots. Muffled shouts. Too many for me to fight alone.I tried the window. Locked.Shit.I darted behind the velvet drapes, heart steady,
Sinful Escape Whispers in the Shadows
Chapter 8 – Whispers in the ShadowsSERA’S POVPower doesn’t come from noise. It grows in silence—in secrets, whispers, glances that say too much and hands that shake for the wrong reasons.I didn’t need an army. I needed leverage. And leverage, in Ethan’s world, was everywhere.My first pawn was a junior executive at his shipping subsidiary—nervous, underpaid, and drowning in gambling debt. He had a pretty wife and a mistress who didn’t know how to keep her mouth shut. It took me exactly two days to find him, one dinner to break him, and one whisper in his ear to make him mine.By the end of the week, I had three more—an accounts manager, a security analyst, and a secretary who heard everything and was tired of being invisible.I didn’t threaten them. I offered them something Ethan never could: protection, power, and the satisfaction of watching the great man unravel.I sat in my penthouse, staring out the window as the city moved like veins under glass. Leon stood near the bar, watc
Sinful Escape Unmasked Eyes and Temptation
Chapter 7 – Unmasked Eyes and TemptationSERA’S POVThe gala was everything I expected—opulent, filled with power-drunk men and women desperate to prove their worth.

I came here for war.Under Leon’s guidance, I had slipped into the role of Arianna Vale with unsettling ease. People didn’t look past the surface when you looked like a fantasy. They saw curves, confidence, allure—never the blade underneath.I walked through the marble lobby of the hotel, chin high, eyes sharp. The ballroom glimmered ahead, voices rising in lazy arrogance. I scanned the room for potential targets, men and women associated with Ethan’s empire. They were all here. And soon, they would be mine.But then I felt it.A stare.Cold. Sharp. Too familiar.I turned slowly, keeping my composure. And there he was—Detective H
Sinful Escape Scarlet Games and Shadowed Eyes
Chapter 6 - Scarlet Games and Shadowed EyesSera's (Arianna )POVThe mirror reflected a different woman now—no longer the broken prisoner named Sera Carter, but Arianna Vale, a calculated siren draped in red. The silk clung to her body like temptation, cut low in the front, high at the slit, every movement designed to draw the eye and disarm the mind.Tonight, her prey was Matthew Virelli—a rival businessman of Ethan’s and a potential key to dismantling a piece of Ethan’s crumbling empire. He was arrogant, greedy, and weak where it mattered most.Arianna walked into the private lounge like smoke—silent, seductive, and deadly.“Miss Vale,” Matthew said, eyeing her with a wolfish grin. “You make this room look sinfully small.”She smiled coyly, placing a hand on his chest. “Then let’s make it feel bigger, Mr. Virelli.”The wine flowed.
