Guinevere’s lips curved, slow and deliberate, a smile too soft to be innocent, too certain to be dismissed.

“You, of course,” she said lightly.

Her lashes lowered and lifted in a measured rhythm, each blink almost theatrical, as though every glance she cast carried a quiet, calculated gravity. The air seemed to tilt toward her confidence.

Katie didn’t flinch. Her gaze was steady, sharp, immovable.

“I don’t have any cousins of marriageable age,” she said coolly. “Unless you mean my father and he

    A faint note of surprise flickered across Calvin’s face.“Oh, he was at the company? There are so many projects lined up lately, I’ve been swamped. Some of them are even being handled directly by the head manager.”Katie’s brows arched slightly, a knowing glint in her eyes. “Anthony and Calvin under the same roof? That’s impossible, Cleo. So tell me… what project is Anthony taking on?”From the side, Calvin’s voice cut in, calm and indifferent, as though the matter held no weight.With a light shrug, his tone was casual. “I’ll ask the head manager later.”Katie let out a soft hum before rising gracefully from the bed, smoothing down the fabric of her dress. “I should go check on my baby. We’ll talk later, Cleo.”As she passed Cleopatra, she leaned in, her lips brushing close to her ear, voice dropping to a teasing whisper. “The room is all yours, go gentle on my brother.”Cleopatra burst into laughter, nudging her away. “Go away.”Katie only smirked, lifting a finger as she strolled t

    Calvin’s lips curved into a faint, controlled smile. “If I did, would I offer a 60/40 profit split? Look closely… it’s clear who stands to gain most from this deal.”“That’s all the more reason to be suspicious,” Anthony snapped, a flash of irritation crossing his features. “Come on… we’re rivals in more ways than one, and I can’t stand your guts.”Calvin’s expression remained calm, entirely unshaken by the jab. “As much as I can’t stand you, I will not let personal feelings interfere with business or with Cleopatra’s career. My intention is to secure her future. The Verenna Project will advance her career. So… will you accept the offer, or walk away?”Anthony froze, his crossed leg dropping in surprise. “Cleo… she’ll be coming to my company?”“Yes,” Calvin said smoothly, eyes cool, “and not just her, some other top models as well.”Anthony’s gaze sharpened, the tension between them crackling. “Let me see the documents. If it’s solid, I’ll sign.”Calvin laid the contract between them.

    “Why are you always running from doing it with me?” she murmured, her voice low and laced with quiet insistence, her hands steady as they moved slowly over his d*ck, each stroke deliberate, unhurried.“I’m not running,” he replied, though his voice came out rougher than intended.“Then what will you call this?” she pressed, her gaze fixed on him, searching. “You’re hard and you still don’t want to do it.”Her fingers continued their slow, teasing motion, unrelenting, drawing a sharp breath from him.“The first time I kissed you—” Calvin exhaled, a strained sound slipping from him. “Arghh, I hurt you… even if it was just a little.” His eyes darkened, filled with concern, conflicted. “What if I hurt you again… on our first time? And you’re a virgin…” His voice faltered, tension thick in every word.“Then we take it slow,” Cleopatra replied softly, her tone steady, reassuring, closing the distance between them without hesitation.In an instant, his hand shot out, catching hers mid-motion

    Calvin tilted his head, almost curious, as he lowered the knife.The moment the tip kissed John’s skin, the room seemed to hold its breath.Then he dragged it.Not fast, not merciful but slowly and painfully.The blade parted flesh with a sickening ease, a thin line blooming red before spilling open, the sound of a wet, tearing whisper far louder than it should have been.John’s body convulsed, a strangled scream clawing its way out of his throat, raw and broken.Calvin didn’t stop.He watched.Listened.Savoring every second.“Sir… sir… please… mercy…”“Just endure it… or would you rather lie in a grave?”A guttural scream ripped from him.“Arghhh!”Finally, the pain became unbearable and he collapsed, unconscious.Then he turned to Cullen.Slowly.Deliberately.As if savoring the moment before the inevitable.Cullen’s eyes widened, his entire body jerking against the restraints. “N-no… don’t come close…” his voice trembled, thin and fraying at the edges of sanity.Calvin stepped in

  • THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER    A Deal Written in Blood

    The air in the abandoned warehouse was suffocating thick with dust, the metallic tang of blood hanging in the corners like a curse. Shadows clawed across the cracked concrete floors, twisting and stretching with the weak, swaying light of a single overhead bulb. Calvin stood in the center, a predator in human form, his black-clad figure sharp and terrifying, eyes glinting with a hunger that made the hair on their necks rise.The two lackeys were trapped like rats, heads covered with sackbags, their backs pressed against worn ropes, each tethered hand submerged in a round empty basin. Sweat dripped down their pale skin, glinting under the flickering light. Their breaths were shallow, rapid, a chorus of fear, each exhale betraying their dread.“Do you know why you’re here?” Calvin’s voice was low, deliberate, almost a whisper but it carried the weight of inevitable doom.“No… who… are you? Are you here for revenge?” Their words stumbled out simultaneously, jagged with panic.Calvin circ

    “Why are you standing out here in the cold?”His voice dropped, low and laced with concern as he stepped closer. Without waiting for her reply, he slipped off his coat and draped it gently over her shoulders, his fingers lingering for a moment as if reluctant to let go. His sharp gaze swept the surroundings, searching and calculating for Anthony’s car plate number.“I was waiting for you,” she said, his tone softening. “Katie went to check the office but couldn’t find you.”“Oh… I had a business meeting,” he replied lightly.His thumb began to stroke her shoulder in slow, absent circles, sending a quiet warmth through her despite the cold air. “Let’s go inside.”“You’re spending the night here?” Cleopatra asked, surprise etched across her delicate features.One corner of his lips lifted. “Aren’t we a couple?”“Umm…” She bit her lip, twisting it shyly, her gaze flickering away.A faint chuckle escaped him. “Naughty girl.”She nudged him playfully, her voice soft but sweet. “Let’s go, b

    The elders drifted away toward Orion’s table, leaving the children to their own devices, the murmurs of the party fading into a distant hum. Anthony and Guinevere exchanged a brief glance, the space around them suddenly charged with unspoken words.“I work with Hawk actually, I’m one of the directo

    Cleopatra stepped out of the taxi, slowly lifting her head as her breath caught at the sight of the towering INK Model skyscraper before her.

    A week later, Cleopatra jolted awake by a message from Katie, summoning her to the INK Model Company. She rose at once and freshened up. Midway through breakfast, her gaze drifted to the wardrobe she had already inspected; nothing inside would truly make her shine.Once she finished her meal, she r

    ‘Cal…’ he muttered under his breath, and memories he hadn’t dared touch in years surged forward, crashing over him like a river long buried, carrying the ache, the warmth, and the weight of a past he thought he had lost.”“What else can I serve you?” she asked again, a small smile curling at the co
