Mag-log in“You’ll live here,” he growled. “You’ll be with me when I want, how I want. I’ll pay your bills and also send you a weekly allowance. “What if I don’t?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm. “Then you leave. You go back to your dirty little apartment. You go back to begging for scraps, but we both know you won’t, because you want someone to own you, Ethan. You just don’t know it yet.” I signed the papers. …………………. I never thought my life will turn out like this, twenty-five, broke, and desperate. With my sister’s hospital bills climbing, and no one left to turn to, I was willing to sell my pride for survival. That’s when I cross paths with Alexander Veyron, the cold, sinfully handsome billionaire. He offers me a deal I can’t afford to refuse. One contract. One rule. I belong to him. What begins as business quickly turns into something darker, addictive and possessive. Just as I begin to surrender, my father who abandoned me resurfaces offering me freedom in exchange for betraying the man who consumes me. Between obsession and betrayal, which will I choose and what will it cost me?

The elevator felt like it took forever. My heart was already beating fast when the doors opened to shiny marble floors, a hallway with strange arts, and a heavy silence. I almost went back. Almost. But the text was clear: Come to the top floor and be on time. So, I stepped out, my cheap shoes making little clicks, and my hands sweaty. I had never been in a building like this, especially not Alexander Veyron’s penthouse. Everyone whispered his name with fear and desire because he was a billionaire with lots of power and scandal. The last door opened, and I froze. Huge windows showed a city skyline with gold colors. The city looked endless, with lights like stars but the man in front of the view was what had my attention. Alexander didn’t turn at first, he stood still like a statue, with his hands behind his back. His suit looked good on his wide shoulders. Just seeing his back made me feel out of breathe. He seemed controlled and dangerous. He finally turned, and his eyes locked on me. My breath caught……..The man was even more gorgeous in person. “You’re late.” His voice was smooth but hard, a tone that meant no arguments. I swallowed. “Security downstairs…” “I don’t like excuses.” He looked me up and down like I was something he was buying and smirked. “You came, that’s what matters.” I felt my face getting hot with the way he was looking at me. “I almost didn’t.” He stepped closer to me. He smelled so good, like expensive cologne mixed with smoke, and something sinful. His hand went to my face, his fingers glazing my jaw. It shouldn’t have made my knees weak, but it did. “You were always going to come,” his voice was barely a whisper, his thumb rubbed on my lip. “The question is… how many times tonight?” I gasped, goose bumps appeared on my arm. My body almost leaned towards him, wanting his touch, even though my mind was screaming danger. “I don’t mess around,” I said. His smile got sharper. “I don’t either. I like… being in charge.” His words made me shake. My heart beat fast as his hand moved from my jaw to my throat, not squeezing, but there to remind me he had the power. “Tell me to stop,” he whispered. “And you can leave right now, but if you stay…” He squeezed my throat, showing he was in charge. “ then you belong to me tonight.” My throat went dry. I should go, I really should but when he pulled on my tie, taking it off fast, the sound of silk made me excited. “I shouldn’t be here,” I whispered. “You’re exactly where you should be.” His mouth was suddenly on mine, his mouth hot and rough. He bit my lip and forced my mouth open. I was breathing hard, feeling hot and dominated. This wasn’t a kiss, it was a takeover. My back hit the cold window, the city behind us didn’t matter compared to what my body was feeling. He pushed his leg between mine, and I moaned without meaning to. “Good,” he said against my mouth, his hand moving down my chest, unbuttoning my shirt easily. “I like that sound, do it again”. I didn’t. He pinched my nipple hard, and I moaned anyway. “There it is,” he sounded happy. His hands went lower, pulling at my belt and opening it fast. My pants dropped, and the cool air felt good on my hot skin. I shook, feeling both ashamed and aroused, scared and shaking with need. “You’re shaking,” he said softly, his eyes dark with arousal. “Are you scared of me?” “Yes.” He grinned wickedly. “Good, fear makes desire stronger.” He pushed me down until I was on my knees on the glass floor, looking up at him. He looked like a god in his suit, standing over the city. He grabbed my hair, holding me still. “Look at you,” he whispered. “So perfect.” I got harder against my underwear and I moved, showing my impatience. He smiled. “Beg.” I almost said no because I was proud but I felt so hot, and my body ached begging for release. “Please,” the word trembled out of me. “Please what?” He pulled harder on my hair. “Please… use me.” His eyes glowed, he opened his belt with one hand, unzipping slowly. I gasped as he got himself out, big and hard, close to my mouth. “You’ll take all of me. You’ll choke on me and when you can’t breathe, you’ll remember that pleasure belongs to me not you.” I opened my lips more, anticipating, my body completely out of my control. He pushed forward, and I gagged as he filled my mouth, stretching my throat. He held my hair, controlling how fast it happened. My nails dug into the window to keep me steady, my eyes watering, and I felt hot waves of shame and strong arousal. “That’s it,” he moaned, his voice rough, his head thrown back as he fucked my mouth harder and harder. “Take me, take it all.” My body was on fire, my dick was leaking and my mind was gone. Every push was a command, every gag was a reminder that I had given up. When he pulled me off, my lips were swollen, and my chin was wet. I gasped for air, shaking and ruined. He bent down, lifting my face with two fingers. “You look like you’re already giving in,” he whispered, brushing my lips with his. “And I’ve barely started.” My heart pounded. I knew I should run but when he kissed me again, his mouth hungry and rough, I kissed him back. This wasn’t a game, It was a deal made with sweat, control, and desire. And me? I had already signed it with my body.Ethan’s povI'm in love with a cold blooded murderer.That’s what has been going through my head since this week. I kept seeing the words in the file, the sealed reports, all the tragedies Alex allegedly had a hand in. The betrayal by William Stallin had cost Alex’s father the company leading to his suicide. I know Alex well enough to believe he isn't one to just let that type of thing go. That's one of the reasons I believe he might have been behind the tragedies…… . My father had warned me. He had told me Alex wasn’t a man anyone should trust, that behind his quiet power lays destruction. I chose to turn away from that warning. Maybe I did it because I wanted so badly to believe that the darkness in Alex was not real. Maybe I did it because I needed him to be the one good thing I found for myself. Maybe I did it because loving him was easier than admitting I was walking willingly toward a fire.If he could do all that to someone for one betrayal to his father, what then will he do
Alex’s pov“Are you here to gloat?”This new confidence of his was really starting to get on my nerves…..badly.“Of course not Alex. I just thought we should talk before the circus begins.”I gestured toward the chair opposite me. “Talk then.”He sat down slowly, crossing one leg over the other. “You look tired. Long nights? Or maybe you’re running out of allies.”“Choose your words carefully,” I scowled at him. “You’re still on my board, for now.”He smiled. “I’m aware. That’s why I came. To make sure you know I’m not your enemy, not yet.”“Your last move says otherwise.”“That was just business, you would have done the same if you were in my position.”I leaned back in my chair looking at him. He was right, this was exactly the type of thing I excel in….hostile takeovers. Under different circumstances I would have felt a bit of admiration for the man“I have a proposal for you. One that might interest you.” He says smiling.I didn’t reply. I just stared at him and he took the silenc
Alex’s pov“Three votes secured,” Marcus muttered, pacing across my office. “We need one more to tip the board.”Damian leaned on the desk, his arms crossed, watching Marcus with a lazy sort of irritation.“You’re counting Delaney as loyal? That man will sell his mother if the offer’s high enough.”“Delaney owes me,” Marcus shot back. “He wouldn’t risk—”I stood by the window, the faint reflection of the city lights flickering over the glass. Damian and Marcus’s voices blended into background noise as my mind drifted to the message I had received earlier this morning. _I’m only just beginning_. Those were the first and only words in the text. No greetings, no threats. Just a simple statement that carried the weight of a loaded gun.The man had never reached out directly to me before. Not once since he betrayed my father and I took over the company. For years, we had circled each other like predators, trading silent blows through the market, through company takeovers and through the
“Stop looking at your phone. You’re thinking of him again.”Lena’s voice pulled me back to the white hospital room. She sat up on the bed with her legs crossed like it was her living room, not a place where machines hummed beside her. She always found a way to make things feel lighter. I smiled, trying to act normal, but my thoughts were far from here.“I’m listening,” I said, placing the phone face down on the bed.“No, you’re not. You have that look again. The ‘I’m daydreaming about a certain man who ruins my sleep’ look.”Her grin was too wide for someone who had spent years in a hospital gown. I leaned back in the chair, watching her push her dark hair out of her face.“You talk too much for someone who’s supposed to be resting.”“It keeps me young,” she said, then reached for the cup of juice beside her. “So, tell me. Did you two fight again or something? You’re too quiet today.”Quiet was safer than the truth. Images of last night kept returning like flashes. Alex in the elevato
