THE CEO'S FORBIDDEN FLAME GLASS AND FIRE
The gala arrived wrapped in gold and illusion.From the outside, the Kings Group headquarters glowed like a promise. Light spilled from every window, washing the marble steps in warmth and elegance. Valets moved with practiced grace. Cameras flashed. Laughter floated into the night, light and effortless, untouched by the tension coiled beneath the surface.Inside, everything shimmered.Crystal chandeliers cast soft light over flowing gowns and tailored suits. Music drifted through the air, gentle and seductive, designed to soothe, to distract, to convince.Valerie stood at the top of the grand staircase, perfectly still.She wore black.Not mourning black. Power black. The kind that absorbed light rather than reflected it. The fabric hugged her frame with precision, sharp lines softened only by the bare skin at her throat.Every detail had been chosen carefully.Her hair was swept back. Her expression composed. Her spine straight.No one looking at her would guess that her sister was
THE CEO'S FORBIDDEN FLAME EYES IN THE WALLS
Ethan had learned to notice what others missed.It was not a talent he was proud of. It came from years of knowing that the smallest detail could mean the difference between walking away or never walking away at all.That instinct stirred now as he moved through Kings Group headquarters long after business hours.The building should have been quiet.It was not.Not in sound. In presence.He paused near the elevators, pretending to check his phone while his eyes tracked reflections in the polished steel doors. The security desk was unmanned. Too unmanned. Cameras blinked softly above him, their red lights steady and unremarkable.Too steady.Ethan stepped into the elevator and selected a mid level floor he knew was empty after hours. As the doors closed, his reflection stared back at him.Something was wrong.The elevator hummed upward.Halfway there, the lights flickered once.Ethan’s jaw tightened.When the doors opened, the hallway was dark except for emergency lighting. Motion sens
THE CEO'S FORBIDDEN FLAME THE QUIET EXCHANGE
Vivian counted her steps.Seven from the bed to the door. Twelve down the narrow corridor. Fourteen to the back stairwell.She had memorized the pattern the way a prisoner memorized daylight.The building was not a prison in structure. No bars. No chains. Just cameras tucked into corners and men who pretended not to watch her while seeing everything.Tonight, something felt different.Too quiet.The guard at the end of the hall did not look up when she passed. His phone glowed in his palm. His attention elsewhere.Vivian’s heart thudded painfully.Opportunity rarely announced itself. It whispered.She slipped down the stairwell, breath shallow, every sound amplified in her ears. Her shoes made no noise on the concrete steps. She had learned how to move silently long ago.Fear sharpened instincts.At the bottom door, she hesitated.The message replayed in her mind.There will be a window. Five minutes. Do not speak unless spoken to.No name. No number. Just instructions delivered throu
THE CEO'S FORBIDDEN FLAME WHERE DESIRE BECOMES FEAR
The rain started without warning.It streaked down the glass walls in uneven lines, blurring the city into a smear of light and shadow. Valerie stood near the windows long after the call ended, arms wrapped tightly around herself as if holding her own body together.Ethan remained where she had left him.Several feet away.Exactly where she needed him to be.The silence between them felt heavier than any argument. It pulsed with everything unsaid. With everything she wanted and everything she could not afford to want.You should go, she said finally.Her voice did not shake.That frightened her.Ethan did not move. Valerie.Do not say my name like that.Like what.Like you are already inside my head.He swallowed. I am already inside your life.She laughed softly. That is the problem.She turned from the window and faced him fully.You came here tonight and tore down every wall I had left.I did not mean to hurt you.Intent does not change damage.He nodded once. I know.Her gaze ling
THE CEO'S FORBIDDEN FLAME NO MORE LIES TO HIDE BEHIND
Ethan did not remember the drive.He only remembered the way his chest felt too tight, as if something inside him was splintering outward, pressing against bone and skin with nowhere left to go. By the time he reached Valerie’s penthouse, the city lights blurred into streaks of white and gold beyond the windshield.He parked without caring how crooked the car sat.The elevator ride up felt endless.Every floor that passed was another second he spent imagining Vivian alone. Valerie froze between rage and fear. The past catching up with him exactly the way he had always known it would.The doors opened.Valerie was already there.She stood barefoot on the marble floor, phone clutched in her hand, hair loose around her shoulders. Her composure was gone. In its place was something raw and shaking that punched the breath from his lungs.She looked up at him.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Then she said his name.Not sharp. Not cold.Broken.Ethan crossed the distance between them in
THE CEO'S FORBIDDEN FLAME BLOOD ON THE BALANCE SHEET
Valerie stared at the screen until the numbers began to blur.She blinked once. Then again.They did not change.The conference room was empty except for her and the quiet hum of the projector. Outside the glass walls, the city moved as if nothing inside this building had just fractured beyond repair.She leaned closer to the table, scrolling slowly, carefully, as though moving too fast might make the truth vanish.It did not.The shell companies were layered with precision. Clean. Elegant. Designed to look harmless. Consulting fees. Logistics partnerships. Quiet investments routed through three countries and two charitable foundations.All of them led back to the same names.Men who should have disappeared from her life decades ago.Men connected to her father.Valerie’s throat tightened.She remembered those names from whispers. From arguments that stopped when she entered the room. From court documents that had been sealed and re sealed until curiosity itself grew tired.Her father
