“Unfortunately, I’m not the type who gives easily or generously,” Raellyn said, her voice edged with challenge. “How about a wager on the match? If you win, then I’ll give you a kiss.”

Arnav smirked, eyes glinting. “I never back down from a challenge. Especially when it involves conquering you.”

“No, no, no,” she corrected with a wicked smile. “You’ve got it backwards. I’ll be the one conquering you, Mr. Director.”

Arnav leaned closer. “Fine, but I’ve got one condition. You let me kiss you until I’m satisfied. If we’re doing this, we’re doing it right.”

Raellyn laughed softly. “That’s how we solve problems now?”

A booming voice filled the stadium. “Ladies and gentlemen, the moment we’ve all been waiting for The Stone Match is about to begin!”

As the announcer's voice thundered through the stadium, cheers erupted around them as the crowd roared to life. From their VIP seats, the energy of the stadium pulsed through the air. Raellyn’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. She had already pic

  • Taming The Charming Director   Reunion

    “Congratulations on your new life, sweetheart!” The chorus of voices rang out in cheerful unison.It was a small surprise celebration, organized by Raellyn’s coworkers to welcome her back after her one-week leave. She hadn’t expected such a warm reception, especially after the emotional storm of her life had just weathered wrecked her so thoroughly. Yet here they were, all smiles and warmth, reminding her of how much she was still loved. Her heart swelled with emotion at the kindness around her, And among them, Violet stood out. She is her senior, her friend, the woman who had taken her under her wing when Raellyn was still fresh in the company from day one. Violet, and her charmingly patient boyfriend, Oswald, was there too, along with one of his friends, whom they had invited for dinner at a Korean BBQ restaurant insisting Raellyn treat them.“I’m so relieved now that my junior is finally married!” Violet exclaimed over the sizzling meat on the grill, her voice slightly slurred. Now

  • Taming The Charming Director   Losing Hope

    The atmosphere in her husband’s house had shifted into something almost suffocating. It wasn’t just the relentless rain that poured without warning, the wind that slithered through the old windows like an unwelcome guest. No, it was something far heavier. It was the silence. A silence so deep it seemed to hum in the air between Raellyn and Arnav. Husband and wife in name only, sharing the same house but not the same world, that even the weather seemed to echo it.It wasn’t that Raellyn hadn’t tried. She had desperately so. She longed to cut through the heavy tension that now wrapped around them like a noose. To unbind the knot she had unknowingly tied the moment she let her curiosity drive her too far. But this time, all her efforts only seemed to tighten the rope.She had been too curious. Too willing to dig into things that perhaps weren’t hers to uncover. It was part of who she was researching things down to the bone, asking the questions others were afraid to. She thought maybe i

  • Taming The Charming Director   Mother & Son

    The thunderous slam of the door as he left his room with Raellyn echoed like a gunshot in Arnav’s chest. Startling him more than he cared to admit. For a brief second, a wave of guilt washed over him but as quickly as it came, his pride crushed it. He let his ego take the reins again.He made his way to the library, which doubled as his study a fortress of silence where whiskey was his most loyal companion. Then he poured himself a drink with steady hands that betrayed nothing. Yet the moment he took that first sip, the bitterness of the alcohol wasn’t enough to drown the truth. The moment with Raellyn earlier had rattled something within him. He had let himself forget.Forget that this marriage wasn’t born of love. Raellyn had her ambition. He had his pleasures to indulge in whatever pleasure her body and presence could give. It was a transaction, nothing more.But then… both had wandered too far off script, into a fragile reality neither had asked for. And yet, somehow, something s

  • Taming The Charming Director   The Quarrel

    Arnav turned his face away, the movement abrupt, an act so deliberate it only drew more attention. An obvious effort to hide himself. But it was already too late. Raellyn’s heart pounded wildly in her chest, her throat tightening with unease. Her expression must have twisted into something unrecognizable by now, all strained and confused barely concealing the storm she felt upon seeing his face, the face of a man consumed by fury. Across from her, Arnav looked as though he had been swallowed whole by a storm of anger. That hardened jaw, those cold, shuttered eyes. This wasn’t the calm, slightly distant man she’d grown used to. No, this was something darker.Cold. Hardened. Shut.She had seen this expression once before, back when they had first spoken about Arsene. But this… this was worse. Colder. More dangerous. As if any warmth they had begun to nurture had vanished without a trace.Not long ago, she’d been foolish enough to believe they had found a sense of peace. She’d allowed he

  • Taming The Charming Director   Turning Point

    That morning, they left the hotel in a disheveled state. As someone with a deeply rooted sense of modesty, Raellyn instinctively found herself trying to shield her face as she walked beside her husband. The thought that hotel staff might be knowing about them was mortifying and of course, she was painfully aware of the possibility that the hotel staff might be whispering about them. Had they been too loud last night? Too lost in each other? Or maybe the staff didn’t care at all. Perhaps this kind of thing was normal in a place like that. In the world of luxury hotels, such things were routine, expected, even mundane.Still, it didn’t stop the embarrassment clung to her like a second skin.Arnav said nothing. He had already slipped into another persona, lost in the quiet gravity of his professional one. His demeanor shifted, stoic, composed. It was like watching him step into a different world entirely. He created a world apart from the man she had tangled with the night before. People

  • Taming The Charming Director   Long Kiss

    When their lips met, Raellyn had assumed it would be just ordinary kiss, nothing more than a fleeting brush of contact. That would end as quickly as it began. A mere brush, a formality, nothing worth remembering. So she followed through as usual, thinking that would be the end of it. She even chastised herself inwardly for entertaining the ridiculous hope that something more would unfold. She just needed to endure it, wait for Arnav to grow bored, and then he’d move away like he always did. Expecting it to be over in seconds.But what happened next startled her to her core. How foolish of her to have imagined otherwise.Without warning, Arnav deepened the kiss, moving his lips with calculated hunger, consuming hers entirely. When Raellyn flinched and tried to push him back instinctively reacting to the unexpected intensity. Arnav didn’t stop. Instead, his lips moved against hers with deliberate intent, coaxing and claiming, tasting her like he had waited far too long. He nipped at her
