Katie’s chest tightened, a flash of anger igniting inside her the moment she realized she had been lied to. Her eyes narrowed, piercing and resolute, and every fiber of her being pulsed with the need to confront the deceit.

“So you can be this fast when it comes to Cleopatra, you liar,” she teased between bursts of laughter, her tone light but sharp with meaning.

She cast Cleopatra a smirk, a knowing glint flickering in her eyes. “Let’s go out.”

  • THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER    Chapter 34: Walls Around His Heart

    “First love?”Calvin’s laughter was short and sharp, utterly devoid of humor. His eyes darkened, something volatile flashing beneath the surface.“My ass,” he spat, the words laced with pure contempt. “That damn bastard was—”His voice splintered, fury ripping through it like a blade through silk. The sentence never finished. Instead, he inhaled sharply and released a hiss so cold it felt venomous, as though the very air had been poisoned.Smith stiffened.The atmosphere in the office grew suffocating, thick with the weight of unspoken rage. Even the ticking clock on the wall seemed to falter, hesitant to intrude. Smith didn’t dare shift his stance. Didn’t dare blink too loudly. One wrong movement and the storm might descend upon him.Then—Calvin moved.In one smooth pivot, he turned away, crossing the room with measured strides. The transformation was terrifying in its precision. He lowered himself into his executive chair, the leather giving a faint sigh beneath his weight.As if t

    Unable to restrain himself any longer, something primal within Calvin broke free.His fingers claimed the nape of Cleopatra’s neck in one heated glide, warm, steady, possessive drawing her inexorably closer until the last fragile inch between them vanished. He lowered his head and sealed his mouth to hers in a slow, deliberate press, lingering through several thunderous heartbeats so she could feel the plush heat of his lips molding perfectly to the shape of hers.Then he parted her lips with the barest graze of teeth, capturing her plump lower one and drawing it deep into the wet velvet of his mouth slow, luxurious suction that made the tender flesh swell and pulse against his tongue. He released it with a soft, wet sound, only to lift his gaze and lock eyes with hers; dark molten hunger meeting her wide, glassy surrender.The world narrowed to silence and heat.Calvin moved again, lips closing over her upper one this time tongue tracing the sensitive inner curve before sucking it de

    Calvin was silent.Too silent.Cleopatra watched him with sharp, careful intensity, her eyes narrowing slightly as if attempting to peel apart the layers of his expression and uncover the thought hidden behind his calm exterior. She would not allow misunderstanding to bloom between them, not when the truth was something she intended to hold in her own hands.Slowly.Deliberately.With the quiet confidence of someone who knew exactly how power moved in stillness, she shifted closer on the couch.The distance between them dissolved inch by inch, like mist surrendering to sunlight, until the warmth of his presence pressed softly against her side, steady, real, and faintly intoxicating in the heavy, wordless silence that wrapped around them.“Well, well, well…” Cleopatra’s voice fell into a slow, velvet murmur, soft enough to feel like breath brushing against skin. The silence around them seemed to tighten, listening to her words as if they were a secret meant only for the two of them.“I

    Calvin lifted a brow, his expression calm and distant, as though nothing in the world could disturb the cold, polished surface of his composure.“Did you review the contract before signing?” he asked evenly, voice smooth and controlled. “Or did that sly fox slip something questionable past you?”The question landed like a quiet, precise strike.In that instant, Cleopatra’s instincts flared awake.She knew what was coming.Any moment now, Calvin would summon Katie to his office swift, decisive, unavoidable. There would be no resistance, no delay. She had always been aware of the invisible authority that followed him, the silent privilege woven into his every movement.But that had never been why she approached him.Her purpose had been fragile, careful, almost reverent. She had only wanted to draw his attention gently, without witnesses, without disturbance. Yet fate seemed determined to pull others into the orbit surrounding him.“I… I read it,” she said, lifting her chin slightly, fo

    “Yeah, I won’t let any man into my room. No one but you,” Cleopatra murmured.Her voice faltered on the last word, low and trembling, carrying a possessiveness she could not hide. The confession hung in the air, heavy and unrefined, wrapped in a raw, desperate sincerity that she did not soften.Her gaze drifted to his lips and lingered there.Calvin slowly wet his lips, the unhurried, almost teasing motion feeling like a silent invitation.Cleopatra swallowed.Hard.Her pulse quickened, wild and uncontrollable, as if her body had betrayed every careful barrier her mind tried to maintain. Something deep inside her burned with an aching, restless hunger that demanded him.“Good girl,” he murmured, voice low and velvet-soft, carrying a faint, dangerous warmth. “Don’t let any man into your apartment.”His hand rose slowly, the back of his fingers brushing her cheek in a soft, lingering caress.The touch was warm almost reverent like he was memorizing the feel of her skin beneath his hand

    Don’t talk to her,” Cleopatra whispered.Her voice was rough, breathless, a fragile plea that barely crossed the narrow space between them.The air thickened.Electric. Suspended. Time seemed to hold its breath.His hand stretched out slowly, deliberate and seized her waist. His fingers tightened, pulling her against him in one smooth motion.The world tilted.And in his darkened gaze, she felt it not just desire, but a quiet intensity she wasn’t ready to understand.Not painfully.But enough.His stare grew sharper, heavier, unyielding.“Alright,” he murmured, voice low and measured, carrying a dangerous calm. “I won’t give her my number. Ever.”Silence followed.For a heartbeat, it felt as if the world had forgotten how to move.Then—A child’s ball rolled across the floor.It struck Calvin’s leg with a soft, almost innocent thump.The moment fractured. The boy scurried forward to retrieve it.“Trey, be careful!” a woman called, hurrying to grab his small hand.Calvin immediately st
