Come with me.” Anthony’s voice was low, commanding, yet smooth, like silk sliding over steel.

“Why should I?” she shot back, eyes narrowed, her stance unyielding.

“Because it’s your job,” he said, the edge in his tone unmistakable. “You work here or would you prefer I take this up with Alvin?”

Her lips pressed into a thin line, but she didn’t answer. Instead, Anthony’s hand gripped hers like iron and guided her to the sofa, his movements deliberate, unrelenting. He turned, effortlessly lifting

  • THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER    Between Love and Silence

    “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 COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER    A Debt Cleared in Silence

    Her hand drifted across the bed searching.Empty, no warmth. No trace of him.Her eyes snapped open, panic igniting in their depths as she shot upright, her gaze sweeping the room in frantic disbelief.“Cal…”His name left her lips in a fragile whisper.She stumbled out of bed, her heartbeat quickening with every step as she moved toward the bathroom. Her knuckles rapped lightly against the door.“Cal, are you in there?”Silence answered her.A flicker of unease tightened her chest. Slowly, her fingers curled around the handle and pushed it open.Empty.Her breath hitched.For a split second, the world felt too quiet.Then—Her eyes darted across the room, landing on the table. With hurried steps, she crossed the distance, her pulse racing as she grabbed the small sticker note resting there.There is porridge in the microwave. Eat and get some rest. I’ll drop by after work.A breath she didn’t realize she’d been holding slipped past her lips.“Oh… thank goodness. I was so scared…”Her

  • THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER    When the Past Confronts the Present

    The last thread of control he’d been clinging to and snapped, completely.In a flash, he slammed her onto the bed, the force stealing the breath from her lungs. The world tilted, spun then stilled with him looming above her, a force of nature she couldn’t outrun.He looked less like a man now and more like a storm barely contained.Desire. Rage. Obsession.All tangled. All burning.The room seemed to close in, the walls pressing tighter, the air growing thick too thick to breathe. Every second stretched, suffocating, charged with something volatile.Something dangerous.“You want money?” His voice cut through the tension, rough, unsteady, laced with something unhinged. “Fine. I’ll give you more than he ever has.”“Who needs your dirty money?” she spat, her voice trembling but her eyes blazing with defiance.“Dirty…?” he echoed.His tone dropped low, dark, almost unrecognizable.A whisper that carried more threat than a scream.“I’ll show you just how dirty… how messy I can be.”Her he

  • THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER    The Line He Shouldn’t Have Crossed

    He was out before the engine fully died. The doors of the club barely had time to open before he stormed through, his presence crashing into the space like a storm unleashed. Music, lights, voices All of it seemed to falter. Heads turned. The staff froze. No one dared step in his path. Calvin didn’t stop. Didn’t look at anyone. His strides were long, sharp, purposeful cutting straight through the club as if he owned every inch of it. Because in that moment. He might as well have. “Sir—” someone tried to speak. Ignored. He reached the private corridor. One door. At the end. Alvin’s office. Without knocking. He shoved it open. Hard. The door slammed against the wall with a thunderous crack. And Calvin stepped in. Eyes dark. Breathing uneven. Looking less like a man. And more like something that had finally lost control. Alvin’s eyes widened the moment the door slammed open, and he rose to his feet in haste. “Mr. Ink, what brings you here? Please, have a seat—”

  • THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER    The Truth He Couldn’t Accept

    “Hmm,” Cleopatra teased, her fingers lightly tracing his shoulder. “So now it’s not breakfast in bed, it’s kisses in bed?”“Exactly,” he replied without hesitation.She tapped the bridge of his nose gently, her smile warm but her eyes thoughtful.“Alright, Captain… but I have to go now.”His expression shifted immediately.“Go where?”“My apartment,” she said softly. “I’ve been here for five days.”“And so?” His arms tightened slightly around her waist as he frowned, his voice dropping into a quiet protest. “Stay a little longer. If it’s cleaning, I’ll have someone take care of it.”“Cal…” she murmured, her gaze softening as it met his. “We still need space. If we’re always together, you might get tired of me.”His expression stilled.Then, firmly almost instinctively.“I won’t,” he said. “I’ll never get tired of you.”The certainty in his voice lingered in the air.For a moment, she just looked at him her heart wavering.“Mm…” she hesitated, her eyes searching his.He sighed softly,

  • THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER    This Time, I Choose You

    A transfer notification.One million Baymarks.Her grip tightened slightly. Slowly, she lifted her gaze to him.“What’s this for?”Calvin didn’t hesitate.“You said I was throwing money away,” he replied calmly, almost lazily. “Wouldn’t it be worse to throw it at strangers and not even spend a cent on you?”Her lips parted.But before she could speak.“I don’t want people’s gazes on you,” he cut in, his voice lower now, more serious. “I don’t want anyone looking at you and making you feel like you’re not good enough to stand beside me.”His hand moved across the table.Warm.Steady.He took hers in his.“I don’t want anything,” he continued softly, “that could make you doubt yourself.”For a moment—Cleopatra said nothing.The sharpness in her eyes faded, replaced by something gentler, something almost vulnerable.“Cal…” she called, her voice quieter now, slower.Then a small smile tugged at her lips.“Aww… you’re actually sweet,” she teased lightly, though her fingers curled around h

    ‘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

    “Now that’s the spirit, girl!” she exclaimed, her voice alive with excitement. “Getting into the spotlight won’t be easy. Start with backstage work for now, while I comb through potential brands. Securing even a few good ones will give your debut a real edge.”“Okay thanks Katie” Moments later, Cl

    Guinevere staggered to her feet, her chest heaving as ragged breaths tore in and out of her lungs. “Why are you just standing there?!” she barked, her voice sharp and frantic. “Go catch her!”Cleopatra moved back again, but loose rocks tumbled into the sea below, forcing her to steady herself immed

    Cleopatra dragged herself across the rain-soaked earth, mud and water clawing at her as her freezing clothes clung to her skin.
