LOGINFor two years, data intern Alexandra Petrov believed her boyfriend turned the bedroom lights off because he was traditional. On the night of their second anniversary, she discovers the devastating truth. She finds him fully naked in their brightly lit apartment with her painfully thin older sister. He explicitly confesses that he only demands darkness because he is completely disgusted by Alexandra's heavy, curvy body. Heartbroken and humiliated, Alexandra runs into the freezing Chicago rain and directly crosses paths with Maximilian Volkov. He is the ruthless billionaire CEO of Volkov Industries, and he is secretly her ultimate boss. Maximilian is instantly captivated by her gorgeous face and her plump figure. He moves her into his highly secure penthouse and establishes a strict physical rule. There will be absolutely no hiding in his home. Maximilian will use his massive wealth to ruin the people who destroyed her self-esteem, and he will spend every single night worshipping her beautiful curves with all the bedroom lamps blazing brightly.
View MoreThe cruel insult hung in the stale air of the small living room while I stared at my sister with wide, horrified eyes.I watched her take another slow sip of my expensive dark roast coffee, and a hot wave of deep betrayal burned the back of my throat.She was sitting comfortably on the faded beige couch I bought with my own hard-earned money, and she was wearing the clothes she stole directly from my bedroom closet.When I looked past the couch, I saw the messy pile of dirty dishes David had left in the kitchen sink, proving that he was still the same lazy slob he had always been.Chloe had propped her bare feet up on a stack of my favorite data science textbooks, and she was using my academic hard work as a literal footrest while she insulted my intelligence."Y-you have absolutely no right to be in my apartment after everything you did to me behind my back," I stuttered out while my hands curled into tight fists at my sides."Y-you do not get to come into my home and treat my belong
I pressed my hands flat against the cold tinted glass of the passenger window while my heart hammered a frantic rhythm against my ribs.I watched Maximilian lean down over David's kneeling form, but the thick soundproofing of the luxury vehicle blocked out whatever lethal words my boss was whispering into the cold air.David let out another muffled scream that barely reached my ears, and he curled his body forward until his forehead touched the dirty pavement.He cradled his broken right wrist against his chest while his shoulders shook with heavy, pathetic sobs.A few minutes ago, I was terrified that David would find a way to hurt us both because he always used his loud voice and angry fists to get exactly what he wanted.Now, the man who had tormented me for three years was crying on the sidewalk in a puddle of spilled alcohol.I stared at the brutal scene unfolding outside, and a deep wave of pure awe washed over my trembling body.Maximilian simply stood up from his crouched posi
I threw my car door open and stepped out onto the cracked concrete before David could strike the passenger window again."Lock the doors right now and do not open them for anyone," I ordered Alexandra while keeping my voice steady to help her stay calm.I pushed the heavy metal door shut behind me, and the loud click of the automatic locks confirmed she was sealed safely inside the bulletproof cabin.The cold Chicago wind hit my face the second my dress shoes touched the dirty street, but the freezing temperature did nothing to cool the boiling rage inside my chest.I stood up to my full height and stared at the pathetic man who was still screaming vile insults through the tinted glass of my luxury vehicle.David raised his dirty fists to pound on the window again, so I decided it was time to redirect his drunken attention away from the woman I loved.I did not rush around the front bumper or shout angry threats because I wanted him to see exactly how little I respected him.I walked
I kept my trembling fingers wrapped tightly around the dark fabric of Maximilian's suit sleeve because the sudden sight of my ex-boyfriend on the sidewalk made my blood run cold."Oh sh-shit, Max, it's David," I stuttered out while pressing my back firmly against the soft leather passenger seat to put as much distance between myself and the window as possible.I watched the man who had tormented me for years stumble across the cracked pavement, and a fresh wave of panic tightened my chest until I could barely draw a proper breath.David kicked a rusted metal trash can into the busy street with a loud shout, and he nearly lost his footing on the uneven curb before catching his balance against the dirty brick wall.He lifted a cheap brown liquor bottle to his mouth and took a long drink while his bloodshot eyes scanned the empty sidewalk around our apartment building."Please, let's just put the car in reverse and drive away right now before he sees us," I begged Maximilian with a despe
ALEXANDRA’S POVI walked across the soft carpet of the dining room and approached the circular wooden table. Maximilian stood up from his seat and pulled the empty wooden chair out for me. I stepped forward and sat down on the comfortable cushion. He gently pushed the heavy chair forward until my kn
ALEXANDRA’S POVI held the heavy golden key tightly in my right hand and walked away from the dark leather booth and headed directly toward the private elevator located at the back of the hotel lounge. The thick, dry fabric of Maximilian's expensive suit jacket rested heavily on my shoulders. The
MAXIMILIAN’S POVI sat quietly and watched the beautiful woman hold the warm teacup between her shaking hands. She took another slow sip of the hot chamomile tea. The steam rose from the white ceramic cup and warmed her pale cheeks. She lowered the teacup and set it down carefully on the silver tra
MAXIMILIAN’S POVI sat in the dark leather booth located in the far corner of my hotel lounge. I held a heavy crystal glass filled with expensive amber scotch in my right hand. The square ice cubes clinked softly against the thick glass sides as I took a slow, methodical drink. The strong alcohol b
