Julian's POV

The shuffling noises coming from the room cause me to slowly flutter my eyes open, I watch her fidget, her entire body shivers and her face is disorientated.I can not help but pretend to be asleep while I watch her hastily change into her clothes and pack up her things. She gazes at me and I immediately shut my eyes close, pretending to be fast asleep. I hear her sigh in relief, she jerks off the bed and scurries out of my room. Once I hear her slam the door, I snap my eyes open and sit upright. The memories of last night slowly flood in my head, last night is a night that I would love to relieve over and over again. From the way she poured out her feelings to me, to the soft passionate kiss we shared, to having her by my side. Every single action from last night makes my heart flutter.That woman deserves better, she deserves someone better than that stupid man. My eyes dart to the wall clock, I gaze at the time and realize I am a few minutes late for work, just as I was late for my party last night.I rise to my feet and hastily take a quick shower. I change into a causal plain T-shirt and a pair of brown suit pants are clad to my long legs. Without wasting anymore time, I walk out of my room and I'm greeted by the smiling faces of the maids lurking around the mansion. One of the them stop me to say. "Good morning Sir. I hope you slept well?" She asks. I return the smile. "Yes I did." I really enjoyed last night and I hope my other nights be like that."The lady that came from your room, I tried to stop her but she insisted that you had given her permission to leave." The maid says. I nod my head in agreement. "Yes I did.""Alright Sir, breakfast is ready, your grandfather is waiting for you in the dining hall." The maid says. I wave it off and clear my throat to say. "Tell him that I will not be having breakfast at home. I need to head to work this morning." I walk past the maid and head outside where my ride is prepared. The bodyguards usher me into the black SUV car, the driver starts the car and zooms off. Throughout the ride, my mind does not leave the lady, not for once. I think her name is Sophia. I finally arrive at work, everyone around greet warmly, pretending like nothing happened last night at the charity gala. I make my way into my office. To be honest, the office looks a bit tacky. I make the secretary clear out all the properties of the former CEO and fill them in with my own stuff.I sit comfortably on the chair and hastily text Rob, one of my butlers and also close friend. I ask him to fetch me Sophia's number at all cost. I need to contact that woman again.In the meantime, while I am trying to look at some paper work. The door to my office flies open and Lucas barges in with his suitcase clutched tight to his hands.Our eyes meet and a frown grows on his face, right before he hastily covers it with a fake smile."Do you not know how to knock?" I snap at him. I watch him clench his fist tight and clear his throat to apologize. "I am sorry about last night Sir, I am not usually like that. I just got really angry about how my wife stained your expensive shirt due to her clumsiness."I scoff. "Now that we are on that topic, do you love her?" I blurt out.Lucas looks taken aback by my question, he raises a brow at me. "Excuse me Sir?" "Your wife, Sophia. Do you love her?" I repeat myself with much more clearer words. "Not to sound disrespectful or anything sir but I do not see how that is any of your business." Lucas retorts. I roll my eyes at him and choke out a hysteric laughter. "I guess you are right. I am just wondering how such an amazing woman like her ended up with someone like you." I mutter with a slight shrug.My bait works on Lucas. He scoffs at me. He lets out an annoying laugh in disbelief. "What do you mean? I think it is the other way around. That woman is nothing close to amazing. Also, she is the one who does not deserve me. If it was not for me, she would be nothing."I feel irritated by his cockiness. I shake my head at hik in disdain. "It is such a pity that you do not realize how amazing she is. Anyways, I guess it is a win for me." I smile. Lucas' face turns red. He walks towards my desk and leans closer to whisper in a cold tone. "Who do you really think you are to have a say in my marriage?" I shrug in response and raise my hand in mock surrender. "I do not know. You make your marriage so public anyways. Isn't everyone allowed to make a comment on that?" I arch my left brow at him.Lucas releases a heavy sigh. "I would really appreciate it if you do not say anything concerning my marriage. It is absolutely none of your business. Let us focus on work and be good partners." Lucas says."If you do not love her then why not just let her go? I mean there has got to be some other guy out there who will appreciate her worth." I say."What?" Lucas yells slamming the desk.I rise to my feet and slowly walk towards him, I shove him by the shoulder and stare right into his eyes, ready to make my motives clear to him."Someone like me..." I start. I clear my throat and whisper harshly into his ears. "You better not let your guard down Lucas. I am not only here to take the company, I might as well snatch her from you."

  • TRAPPED IN DESIRE    Preparations of Promise

My hair is pinned loosely, my cotton dress light against my skin, the gentle swell of my pregnancy a quiet reminder of the life we’re nurturing. I pack a small bag with essentials—a notebook for questions, a soft scarf for comfort,my heart fluttering with anticipation for news of Lily’s health. This hidden estate, its stone walls and secret passages, shields us from Daniel’s cunning, Emily’s pursuit, Nadya’s silence, and my parents’ greed.

  • TRAPPED IN DESIRE    Threads of Redemption

    Nadya’s POVThe flickering light of a single lamp casts jagged shadows across the cracked walls of a safehouse in a city I won’t name, its peeling paint and musty air a stark contrast to the opulent offices I once commanded at Anderson Enterprises. I sit at a rickety table, my fingers tracing the edges of a burner phone, its blank screen a reminder of my severed ties. My dark hair is pulled into a tight bun, my jacket worn, my nerves frayed as I sift through the wreckage of my plans. Julian and Sophia are ghosts, their whereabouts a void I can’t pierce, hidden by Julian’s wealth and cunning. My deal with the prosecutors trading secrets for leniency lies in tatters, my leverage gone, and I’m alone, hunted by Daniel’s ambition, Emily’s desperation, and the law’s closing net. My betrayal of Sophia, my role in Lucas’s schemes, haunts me, but I’m not done I’ll claw my way out, rewrite my story.I lean back, the chair creaking, the air heavy with the scent of damp wood and stale coffee.

The morning light fades, and a restless need to see Sophia pulls me from the desk. I step through the estate’s hidden corridors, my footsteps muffled on the polished floors, until I reach a private balcony overlooking a secluded courtyard, its ivy-covered walls bathed in the soft glow of dawn. My dark hair catches the breeze, my sweater light against my skin, and I lean on the wrought-iron railing, my mind charting the next steps to keep our enemies at bay—Daniel’s cunning, Emily’s pursuit, Nadya’s silence, Sophia’s parents’ greed all locked out by this fortress of stone and secrecy. Sophia’s past, broken by Emily’s cruel act, is healing, her trust in me a beacon, and I’ll ensure no shadow dims her light.I breathe deeply, the air crisp with the scent of dew and blooming jasmine, and decide to plan

  • TRAPPED IN DESIRE    Notes of Eternity

    Sophia’s POVThe dawn’s golden warmth lingers in the secluded bedroom of Julian’s London estate, but as our breaths steady, our bodies still entwined from the intensity of our shared passion, I feel a quiet pull to create something new, a melody to echo our love. I slip from the silk sheets, my skin still flushed, and pull on a soft linen dress, its fabric cool against my thighs. Julian watches, his blue eyes glinting with a tender glow, his bare chest rising slowly, and I smile, taking his hand. “Come with me,” I whisper, my voice light, leading him through the estate’s hidden corridors to a music room I discovered yesterday, its polished wood and velvet curtains a haven for our hearts. This secret refuge, its high walls and veiled paths, keeps us beyond the reach of Daniel’s cunning, Emily’s schemes, Nadya’s silence, and my parents’ greed.

    Sophia’s POVThe golden dawn light lingers in the secluded bedroom of Julian’s London estate, its velvet drapes framing a soft glow that bathes our tangled bodies, still warm and slick from our lovemaking on the chaise lounge.
