Calvin’s voice cut through the quiet like a blade drawn in the dark.

“I want a full background check on Anthony Curtis. His company. The employees under his direct command. And find out whether Cleopatra works for him.”

There was no room for negotiation in his tone, only cold intent.

On the other end of the line, Davin straightened instinctively. “Understood, sir.”

“I need the results within three days.” Calvin turned slightly toward the window, gaze distant, calculating. “No delays.”

    Calvin’s voice cut through the quiet like a blade drawn in the dark.“I want a full background check on Anthony Curtis. His company. The employees under his direct command. And find out whether Cleopatra works for him.”There was no room for negotiation in his tone, only cold intent.On the other end of the line, Davin straightened instinctively. “Understood, sir.”“I need the results within three days.” Calvin turned slightly toward the window, gaze distant, calculating. “No delays.”“I’ll have everything on your desk as soon as possible, sir.”The call ended.Silence lingered for half a breath.A soft knock.“Sir, your coffee.” Lara’s gentle voice drifted in as she stepped forward, placing the cup carefully on the table.Calvin glanced at her briefly. “Thank you, Mrs. Lara.”“Oh, Mrs. Lara!”Simon’s voice burst into the room as he strode in, dropping onto the couch with reckless energy. “Can I get freshly made orange juice?”“Of course, sir. We still have fresh oranges. I’ll squeeze

  • THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER    The Truth She Refused to Say

    With casual boldness, he pulled one of the women dressed in lingerie onto his lap.“Sorry I was late,” he said sharply. “I was dealing with that nagging bitch.”Oliver tossed the bag onto the glass table with a dull thud.“What’s that?” Anderson asked, glancing at the bag.“Ecstasy,” Oliver replied bluntly. “We’re going to get high tonight and fuck hot.”Silence settled over the room.“What?” Calvin said coldly. “I’m not taking part in this. If you can’t put that away, I’m leaving.”“Of course, Damian. What’s wrong with you?” Simon added immediately.“Keep it away. No drugs tonight,” Anthony said firmly.Damian’s eyes widened slightly at Anthony’s words.“Hahaha even you?” Damian muttered.Seeing how serious they all were, Damian exhaled slowly and shoved the bag into the drawer.“Alright. I’ll dispose of it later.”Suddenly, Oliver’s grip tightened around the woman seated on his lap, his breath brushing against the sensitive curve of her nape as he pressed a rough, lingering kiss aga

    Her hand reached into the bag and picked out the neatly folded cotton shorts. In a matter of seconds, she had washed up and changed into them, the simple fabric settling comfortably against her skin. She then stepped into the private room where they had eaten earlier, finding Calvin sitting quietly, waiting.“Why aren’t you eating?” she asked.“Oh I was just waiting for you,” he replied softly.“How sweet,” she muttered, smiling shyly at him as the chair creaked softly under her weight.After they finished eating, they drove quietly toward her apartment, the city lights drifting past the car windows like scattered, glowing memories beneath the night’s veil. The journey was wrapped in quiet comfort, broken only by the soft, steady hum of the engine and the unspoken warmth of their shared presence.Calvin parked in front of her apartment building and walked her inside, staying close as though shielding her from the stillness of the night.At her door, he paused and said softly, “Go in a

  • THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER    Between Carousel Turns

    The amusement park was unusually quiet under the bright noon sun, with empty paths stretching ahead and motionless rides glowing faintly in the daylight. Calvin and Cleopatra walked side by side through the silent entrance, the soft hum of idle machines blending with the distant whisper of wind brushing against the lazily fluttering banners.“Why is everywhere empty?” Cleopatra asked softly, her gaze drifting over the silent Ferris wheel that towered against the pale, fading sky.Calvin did not answer at once. His eyes scanned the stillness surrounding them before settling back on her. “Maybe they all have things to do at home.”She lifted her hand suddenly. “Look at me. I came prepared.”Her finger tapped lightly against the hat on her head. “I’m wearing a hat.” Then she pointed to her nose. “And a nose mask.”Calvin let out a quiet laugh. “Haha, aren’t you going to suffocate in there? Take it off.”Without waiting for protest, he reached forward, gently removing the hat and nose mas

  • THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER    The Weight of Jealousy

    The scrape of chairs against polished marble echoed softly as they all rose from their seats, the evening’s warmth thinning into something sharper, more uncertain.“Katie adjusted her clutch, turning to Cleopatra. “Cleo, let Calvin take you home. I’m spending the night at Gavin’s.”Cleopatra offered a faint, composed smile. “Don’t worry. I can get home by myself.”Katie frowned, concern creasing her features. “It’s late. Even if the roads are still busy, you can’t leave a lady to go home alone.”Before Cleopatra could respond, two voices cut cleanly through the air.“I’ll take her home.”Anthony and Calvin spoke in unison.A ripple of surprise passed through the group. Conversations still. Eyes shifted between the two men, the tension immediate and unmistakable.Cleopatra felt the shift, the tightening of the atmosphere. She turned first to Calvin, then deliberately to Anthony. “I’ll go with Anthony.”For a fraction of a second, something dark flickered in Calvin’s gaze. He stepped fo

  • THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER    Possession Lurks in Silence

    The hall shimmered under cascading crystal lights, their glow reflecting off rows of elegantly dressed guests. Soft murmurs drifted through the air, laughter, whispered gossip, and the clink of champagne glasses. The scent of expensive perfume lingered like quiet competition.Socialites leaned in to exchange secrets, critics observed with practiced indifference, and at the end of the gleaming runway, a velvet curtain waited in stillness.Then the music began—low, deliberate, commanding.Conversations faded at once. Silence fell as the first model stepped out, and the night transformed into a spectacle of beauty, power, and rivalry.Guinevere tilted her chin slightly, a flawless smile curving her lips as she leaned closer to Sophia. The runway lights reflected in her eyes, but there was something sharper beneath the sparkle.“Did you see who just arrived?” she murmured, her voice silky and low. “I heard she practically begged for an invitation.”Sophia let out a soft, amused laugh, adj
