LOGINShe thought divorce would set her free. Instead, it led her straight into hell and the devil himself, Sebastian Sterling. He offered her salvation. What she found was sin. --- An emotional, dark romance about temptation, control, and the price of survival. -- After ending her ten-year marriage to an unfaithful husband, Rosemary Seo wants nothing more than peace. No more manipulation. No more control. Just a chance to start over with her daughter — even if it means living in a cheap motel and scraping together every cent. But when every company in town suddenly rejects her job applications, Rosie realizes she’s trapped once again — not by love, but by power. Her ex-husband’s influence stretches further than she imagined… And her only hope lies in the hands of his estranged younger brother — Sebastian Edward Sterling, a man with a reputation as dangerous as his charm. Sebastian offers her a way out. A job. A chance to rebuild. But his terms come wrapped in silk and sin — and soon, Rosie finds herself drawn into his world of temptation, control, and forbidden pleasure. “You can be my personal assistant,” he said slowly. “Take care of my daily needs.” Then his voice softened further, dangerous and intimate. “Especially in bed.” He calls it a job. She calls it a deal with the devil. Caught between survival and surrender, Rosie must decide — Will she tame the devil who wants to own her, or become his next obsession?
View MoreJessie was alone again, but she wasn't frightened or sad.Because..."Who needs a useless husband and mother when I have a perfect man by my side?"The thought settled in Jessie’s heart like a sermon, filling her with a new sense of certainty—a revelation that promised her a better life.She quickly opened her banking app, eager to see exactly how much Charles had sent her.The moment the balance appeared on the screen, her eyes widened."Holy crap... thirty thousand dollars?"Thirty thousand.Jessie stared at the figure in disbelief.She couldn’t remember the last time she’d had that much money sitting in her account.Usually, every penny she earned disappeared almost immediately into household bills, groceries, school expenses and the endless costs of looking after her family.Yet Charles had simply transferred thirty thousand dollars to her without a second thought.It felt like a dream."Charles must have a soft spot for me," Jessie murmured, her smile slowly widening. "Why else w
Jessie ate her lunch before checking her phone, hoping to find at least one missed call or message.There was nothing.Not from her mother. Not from her husband. Nothing at all.It was almost as though she could disappear from their lives and neither of them would notice."So much for family, eh?" Jessie gave a humourless little laugh.It was almost laughable. She worked herself to the bone trying to keep those two useless people afloat, and they couldn't even be bothered to check whether she was still breathing."Why do I have to be trapped in this miserable life while Rosie gets to have all the fun?" Jessie muttered bitterly. "She doesn't even have to work, and she's got a perfect man like Charles."She scoffed."And now she's run away from Charles, but she's probably hiding with another millionaire somewhere. How bloody lucky can one woman get?"Jessie had already resented Rosie for marrying a man she considered perfect while she had ended up with a useless bastard.But what made h
Before he met Rosie, Sebastian would usually have sex with a woman at least twice a week, even during his busiest periods. It had always been his preferred way of relieving stress.But after Rosie came into his life, that had changed.Now, eating her homemade food and simply sitting across from her were enough to settle something inside him. Sometimes, all it took was looking at her for the tension in his shoulders to ease.Unfortunately, his sex drive hadn't disappeared simply because he'd discovered other ways to relax.His body still had its own demands."Should I feed her a little more?" Sebastian wondered.Rosie was certainly doing better. She no longer looked quite so painfully thin, and some colour had returned to her face. Her cheeks weren't as hollow as they had been before."But she still needs to put on a bit more weight..."Sebastian paused.He knew perfectly well what was really bothering him.He was being impatient because he wanted to sleep with Rosie.It was almost rid
Sebastian’s smile widened."Hm?"His fingers moved gently, deliberately teasing her."Your breasts are one of my personal needs, too."Sebastian leaned forward and gently pecked Rosie's lips.It was something he had never done before.Usually, whenever he kissed her, there was nothing gentle about it. His kisses were heated, hungry things that left Rosie struggling to keep up with his desire.Charles had never kissed her tenderly either.So this simple little gesture felt strangely new to Rosie.Sebastian pecked her lips once more. He was deliberately holding himself back, resisting the urge to cup the back of her head and pull her into a deeper kiss.He wanted to take his time with her. He wanted to explore every inch of her lips, to let their tongues meet and linger, but he was determined not to rush her.He didn’t want to frighten her.His gaze remained fixed on Rosie while his other hand slowly travelled along her inner thigh."Ah... uhm... S-Sebastian, that’s—"Rosie bit her lowe
Rosie reacted at once, catching hold of her daughter’s arm and gently but firmly pulling her aside.“I’m so sorry, Sebastian,” she said quickly. “P–Please don’t be upset with Izzie. She’s only a child, I—”“Tch. It’s fine,” he cut in, dismissive. “Just make me the same smoothie. And from now on, yo
Rosie scarcely realised she had begun to run until the corridor stretched before her like something endless, her heels striking sharply against the marble as though urging her forward. Tears blurred her vision, spilling freely now, unchecked and unwelcome.This family… they’re all monsters.The tho
Her fingers trembled as she dialled his number.He picked up almost immediately.“Yes?”“Where is my daughter?” Rosie demanded.A soft chuckle. “You mean our daughter?”Her jaw tightened. “Don’t play games with me, Charles.”“She’s fine,” he said casually. “We’re at the toy store. She’s picking wha
Rosie sat at the dining table, the candlelight flickering softly against untouched plates. The roasted chicken—Isabella’s favourite—had long since gone cold.She glanced at the clock.Nine o’clock.Charles Sterling was not home.He had promised. He had promised their daughter he would return before
