THE CEO'S SECRET INDULGENCE CHAPTER 112
The corridor outside the council chamber was quiet, the kind of quiet that only existed in the fortress when everyone was either working or avoiding someone more powerful than themselves. Deborah and Luther walked side by side, not too close, not too far, their usual careful distance restored now that they were outside the privacy of the council room.They were discussing territory reports and guard rotations when they turned into one of the less-used hallways that led toward the strategy offices. The moment they stepped into the corridor, Deborah stopped walking.Aston was standing near the window at the far end.Lysander was beside him, arms crossed, his expression already dark.Neither of them looked surprised.Which meant they had been waiting.Luther immediately understood the situation, but he didn’t step away from Deborah. That alone confirmed everything the two brothers needed to know.Aston pushed himself off the wall slowly. “I was wondering how long it would take before we

The council chamber was already full when Deborah entered, the low murmur of voices fading almost instantly as every person in the room noticed her arrival. The long table stretched across the center of the chamber, maps, documents, and sealed letters arranged neatly in front of each council member. At the head of the table sat Caelum, calm and unreadable as always, his fingers lightly resting on the arm of his chair.Deborah took her usual seat at his right, while Luther remained standing slightly behind and to the side, close enough to speak when needed but far enough to maintain the appearance of formality.“We can begin,” Caelum said, his voice calm but carrying easily across the room.One of the older council members cleared his throat. “There have been concerns,” he began carefully, “regarding the increased allocation of guards, resources, and surveillance assigned to Luna’s wing and the outer estates connected to her protection.”The room remained quiet, but Deborah could feel

The night passed quietly, but Deborah did not sleep long. She rarely did when the fortress was in a delicate balance. By the time the first light touched the highest towers, she was already awake, standing near the window of her office, looking down at the courtyard below. Guards were changing shifts, their movements synchronized and efficient. Servants moved quietly along the edges of the walls, carrying trays, documents, and supplies. Everything looked normal.But Deborah knew better.Nothing was ever normal when power was shifting.She heard the door open softly behind her and didn’t turn immediately. She already knew who it was.“You should sleep more,” Luther said quietly.She gave a small smile but kept her eyes on the courtyard. “And you should stop entering my office without announcing yourself.”“You never stop me,” he replied.She turned then, leaning lightly against the window frame. “Because you never come here without reason.”Luther walked further into the room, setting

The next morning, the fortress was already alive with movement, though the halls remained quieter than usual. Guards patrolled with practiced vigilance, the younger brothers exchanged glances that hinted at both ambition and wariness, and the council prepared for the day’s meetings. Deborah moved through the corridors with her usual air of authority, her footsteps silent but commanding, every eye automatically acknowledging her presence. Luther followed closely behind, just far enough to be discreet yet near enough to remain a steady anchor.They entered the strategy room, a place few outside their inner circle ever saw, where maps of territories, lists of allies, and intelligence reports covered every surface. Deborah set down a folder and began organizing the information with precise movements, the calm efficiency that Luther had come to rely on.“Everyone’s movements have been accounted for,” she said quietly, not looking at him. “The younger brothers will test boundaries today, ju

The fortress was quieter than usual that evening, a stillness that carried both comfort and foreboding. The rain had slowed to a drizzle, leaving slick stone floors and a faint, earthy scent that clung to the corridors. Deborah sat at her desk, the lamplight casting long shadows across the room, highlighting the neat stacks of reports, dossiers, and intelligence logs she had spent the day reviewing. But even with all the data in front of her, her thoughts kept drifting to one place—and one person.Luther’s presence.A soft, familiar knock on the door broke her reverie.“Come in,” she said, her voice steady though her pulse quickened.He entered, his posture casual, but with the unmistakable alertness that Deborah had learned to recognize over the years. He carried himself like a man who knew how to navigate danger, always aware of potential threats, yet somehow, in her office, he felt… different. Human. Vulnerable in ways the fortress rarely allowed.“You’re late,” she said, though he

The morning sun barely broke through the heavy clouds when Deborah began the first of her meetings with the younger brothers. The fortress was unusually still, almost as if it sensed the weight of what was about to happen. Each brother, in his own way, carried arrogance and ambition, but beneath it all, they were still tethered to the rules of this family. Deborah intended to remind them why those rules existed, and why she enforced them without compromise.The first to arrive was Roderick, sharp-eyed and calculating. He entered with the confidence of someone who had never been denied before, but Deborah had no intention of giving him that illusion.“Roderick,” she said, her tone calm but deliberate, “thank you for coming. Please, sit.”He settled into the chair with a practiced ease, but his eyes scanned the room, noting every detail,the security personnel subtly stationed, the folders and dossiers on her desk, the quiet presence of Aston and Knight in the background.“I’ve called th

The Valmere estate slept beneath a veil of mist when the message arrived. It was early, too early for business and too late for peace. The world outside her window was blurred by soft rain, streaking silver against the glass as the city began to stir in the distance.Her phone buzzed once. A single

Morning light filtered through the glass walls of Valmere Tower, clean, white, unbothered, as though the world outside the empire’s reach didn’t exist. The city below pulsed with motion, but up here, on the seventy-fifth floor, everything was silent. Controlled. Perfect.Deborah sat behind the exec
