Igor's Offer

I drove straight to Igor’s penthouse after the phone call with Leo. I didn’t care about the risk anymore. The fear that Marcus held over my head, the image of that grainy photo, had made the idea of secrecy ridiculous. The game was over; the countdown was already at zero. I parked my car three blocks away and walked the rest of the distance, feeling like a ghost moving through the bright city streets.

When I finally stepped into Igor's apartment, I didn't bother to close the security door softly. I just leaned against the cool metal frame, dropping my gym bag with a dull thud. I knew I must have looked like a wreck—my hair was still damp from the locker room shower, my eyes were swollen and red from the tears, and the polished veneer of the perfect heir was completely cracked.

Igor was in the living room, working at his desk, but he stood up instantly when he saw me. He didn't say anything at first. He just moved toward me, his usual controlled pace replaced by a quick, u

  • Teach me to desire    Chapter 75

    Marcus's LeakThe Grand Ballroom felt like a mocking celebration, a giant, velvet-lined monument to everything I didn't have and Killian Hayes took for granted. I was squeezed into a rented tux, trying to look important while holding a cheap soda, feeling the scratchy lining of the jacket against my skin. The Hayes family had required every member of the starting football team to be here, a public display of Killian’s popularity and the robust future of the dynasty.I watched Killian on the elevated stage, a golden figurine next to the dazzling Serena Vance. He was pale, sure, and stiff, but he still looked every bit the conqueror. He was about to have everything—the empire, the woman, the respect.The resentment had been building inside me for years. We were both star quarterbacks, both driven, both athletes. But while I trained until my muscles screamed and fought for every yard, Killian simply coasted. His father bankrolled the team’s biggest boosters, his name guaranteed the best

    The Final PleaMy father had commanded us to share a final, private moment before the formal announcement began. It was a purely visual exercise, meant to project intimacy to the photographers waiting in the main ballroom. We were tucked into a small, velvet-lined parlor just off the main hall, a place designed for quiet, wealthy conversation. The heavy, gold-trimmed door was closed, but the muffled sound of the orchestra tuning up filtered through the walls.Serena sat on a small, silk sofa, looking impossibly beautiful and utterly lethal in her silver gown. She was sipping champagne slowly, her eyes watching me with a calculated, cold amusement. I stood opposite her, my hands restless inside my tuxedo pockets. This was my last, desperate chance to appeal to the sensible, ambitious part of her—the part that valued control over chaos.I walked over and sat down, carefully keeping a small space between us.“Serena, we have a few minutes,” I began, trying to keep my voice low and reason

    Killian's Near MissMy bedroom in my father’s mansion was huge, but it felt smaller than a prison cell tonight. The walls were a cold, pale gray, and the furniture was all sharp angles and expensive stillness. I had just finished dressing. The tuxedo was now buttoned up, the white shirt starched to a painful stiffness, the bow tie cinched tight. I looked at myself in the full-length mirror, seeing the finished product: the perfect son, ready for auction.The security detail my father had assigned to me—a massive, silent man named Hank—was waiting by the door, blocking the only exit. I knew Marcus’s men were everywhere, listening to every sound, watching every movement. The gilded cage had never felt so real, or so small.I needed one minute of reality before I walked onto the stage. One minute to remember why I was risking total ruin.I walked over to the dresser, my movements slow and deliberate, trying to look like I was just checking my watch. The watch—a family heirloom—felt heavy

    Igor’s Plan to RescueThe penthouse was eerily quiet, the kind of silence that precedes a massive storm. The engagement party was starting across town, and I was dressed in a simple, dark suit—not the formal wear for a high-society event, but the practical uniform of a man preparing for a tactical extraction.I was standing in the center of my study, the space I had built my empire from, and I was watching the clock. Julian was on a secure video call, his face filling the screen. He was in his own control room, surrounded by monitors tracking market activity, but his focus was entirely on me.Julian and I had worked together for fifteen years. He managed my fortunes, anticipated my moves, and never asked an unnecessary question. But tonight, I needed to give him the complete, unvarnished truth about the scale of the destruction we were initiating.“The broadcast is live, Igor,” Julian reported, his tone strictly professional. “The Hayes and Vance families are on the stage now. We are

    The Phone TapThe Grand Ballroom was a magnificent, glittering stage, but to me, it was merely an operating theater. Every detail—the towering crystal centerpieces, the string quartet playing precise, gentle music, the strategic placement of the Vances next to the reporters' table—was designed for one purpose: to execute my vision for the Hayes empire. The announcement was minutes away, the culmination of a decade of ruthless maneuvering. Yet, my attention was entirely snagged by the weak link in my chain: Killian.He was standing beside Serena, his posture perfect in the custom tuxedo. He was the golden boy, the flawless symbol of my success. But I didn't see the heir; I saw the betrayal. I could sense the emotional tremor beneath his polished exterior. He was staring at the crowd, but his eyes were vacant.I knew the difference between nervousness and defiance. This was defiance. This was a son attempting to sabotage the legacy he was created to uphold.I took two steps away from th

    Leo’s InterventionThe transition from the small VIP room to the Grand Ballroom felt like walking from a quiet hall into the blinding sun. The ballroom was enormous, a sparkling sea of black ties and evening gowns. The sheer number of people made my head spin. I stayed close to Serena, navigating the crowd as we made our way to the front area reserved for the two families.But just as we reached the edge of the throng, a hand grabbed my elbow—firmly, but with a familiar warmth.“Killian. Wait a second,” Leo said, pulling me slightly toward a quiet recess behind a massive floral arrangement.Serena, annoyed by the interruption, immediately bristled. “Not now, Leo. He has duties.”“This can’t wait, Serena,” Leo countered, his voice steady. He wasn't afraid of her. “I just need two minutes. Go find your father.”Serena gave me one last, warning glare, then decided the optics of arguing with my best friend were worse than letting us talk. She swept off, promising with her eyes that I woul
