Tension on the 20th Floor

---

Bella Bluefield adjusted the strap of her satchel as she stepped out of the elevator and into the exclusive executive wing of LV Groups. The 20th floor wasn’t just high—it felt like a whole other world. Where the 18th floor buzzed with ideas and organized chaos, this one whispered power with every muted footstep.

The air smelled cleaner, the lighting was softer, and the offices—encased in polished glass and gold accents—were intimidating without even trying. Everyone here walked like they owned the place. Some probably did.

Bella didn’t.

Not yet.

“Ms. Bluefield?” came a crisp voice.

She turned to see Miriam, Xavier’s sharp-eyed assistant, approaching her with a polite smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.

“Mr. Louis requested your presence in the Strategy Room for the quarterly rollout preview,” Miriam said. “You’ll be shadowing him and the core team today.”

Bella blinked. “I thought I’d be reporting to Clara again.”

“You are. But Mr. Louis wants y

  • The Billionaire's Blueprint    What am I then?

    ~005Lines We Shouldn’t Cross---Bella’s breath hitched as Xavier closed the distance between them. The cool air in his office suddenly felt thick, too tight, like the walls themselves were holding their breath.“I never wanted it to stay in the past,” he repeated, his voice low—measured, but with an edge that sounded far too close to confession.Bella looked up at him, keeping her chin high even though every nerve in her body told her to run. Her fingers clenched the sample folder she still held in her hands, anchoring her to the moment.“This isn’t why I came here,” she said quietly. “I want this job. I earned it. But if you brought me here because you thought this was going to be some kind of… continuation of that night, then I need to make it clear—we are not picking up where we left off.”Xavier’s expression didn’t change, but something in his eyes softened. He stepped back, just slightly, giving her space again.“I didn’t bring you here for that,” he said.She didn’t believe hi

    ~004Beneath the Surface---Bella Bluefield sat on the edge of her bed that night, her blazer hanging off the back of her chair, her heels discarded somewhere under the sheets. The adrenaline of the day had finally worn off, leaving behind a heavy, unspoken weight in her chest.She still wasn’t sure what had hit her harder—the fact that she had managed to impress one of the most selective hiring panels in Paris, or the way Xavier Louis had walked into the room like a scene from a movie and shattered her sense of reality.She’d hoped it was a coincidence. She’d prayed.But that smile… that exact, knowing smile… said otherwise.Xavier Louis, the man who had touched her like he already owned every inch of her body, who had whispered things in the dark that still echoed in her bones—he knew. He remembered. And he wasn’t pretending otherwise.Bella ran her fingers through her curls and exhaled sharply.What exactly was going on?She hadn’t given him her number. She hadn’t stayed behind to

    ~003The Interview---Bella stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the collar of the only white blouse she owned that didn’t have a coffee stain on it. Her hands were trembling slightly, though she tried not to let it show in her reflection. Her heart had been pounding from the moment she woke up and reread the email from LV Groups.Even now, it didn’t feel real.She had applied to the company months ago—on a whim, really. The competition was insane, and she knew her portfolio was good but not industry-shattering. When she didn’t hear back, she’d assumed it was just another silent rejection.Now, out of nowhere, an interview.And not just any interview. LV Groups was one of the most prestigious fashion and design conglomerates in Europe. Getting a foot in the door wasn’t just career-changing—it was life-changing.Bella ran her fingers over her natural curls, letting them fall into place the way they always did when she was nervous: tucked just behind one ear. She took one last lo

    ~002 He Can’t Forget Her---The morning sun spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Xavier Louis’s penthouse, golden rays casting long shadows across the stark, modern furniture. The skyline of Paris stood still, dignified, unbothered by the turmoil of one man. But within those high-rise walls, Xavier couldn’t shake the feeling of disruption.He sat on the edge of his bed, shirtless, a tumbler of aged whiskey in hand even though it was barely past eight. Sleep hadn’t come easy. His sheets were tangled. His mind had been louder than the city below. The smell of her perfume—soft jasmine and something citrusy—still lingered on his skin like a ghost.One night.That’s all it was supposed to be.He didn’t even ask her name. She hadn’t offered. It was instinctual, electric, and completely out of character. He didn’t do things like that. He was too controlled, too cold, too calculating. The CEO of LV Groups didn’t bring home women he met at social galas. He didn’t let his guard

    ~001Velvet Nights~BELLAI stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the bodice of my strapless gown. The dark crimson satin clung to my body like a second skin, smooth and sensual beneath my fingertips. The neckline dipped just low enough to hint at danger, and the slit in the dress promised it. I applied a final coat of lip gloss and tossed my hair over one shoulder as my best friend Zara burst into the room.“Bella, are you not done yet? We’re late already, and you know what that means!”Her voice was sharp with urgency, but her eyes sparkled. She was used to me taking my time.I chuckled softly. “Almost, babe. I’ll be ready in a sec.” I slipped on my silver stilettos, grabbed my clutch, and gave myself one last glance. Fierce. Flawless. Untouchable.As we rushed down the hallway and into the waiting car, a familiar pang tugged at my chest. No matter how perfect I looked on the outside, I could never outrun the past. Twelve years ago, my father had kicked me out of our mansion wit
