INICIAR SESIÓN“Fuck! I had the best time of my life with you in bed. Meet me tonight… or your husband finds out everything.” Olivia Ashford never expected those words to come from the man who had pulled her from a dark alley. She had woken up in his apartment, untouched, yet already caught in the sharp amusement of his eyes and the quiet threat in his voice. He refused to give her his name. He only smiled when she slapped him and walked away. She returned back to the Ashford residence, played the grieving wife for Victor, and let him hold her while he performed devotion with perfect precision. But the next night, blackmailed into meeting the stranger, Olivia's world began to crumble. As she watched her husband kiss another woman—Cara Beaumont-Wells—with shameless hunger. Something inside Olivia broke cleanly. Then it hardened. Revenge became her only plan. And the perfect weapon was Felix Beaumont-Wells himself, Cara's husband. By day, Olivia remained the flawless Ashford wife. By night, she drew Felix into a dangerous game of seduction. But the stranger wasn't finished with Olivia. What Olivia didn't know was that the man who had saved her in the alley was the same man every CEO in the city was desperate to reach—Dominic Thorne, the most elusive billionaire in the city. When Dominic finally stepped into the private suite and looked at her with a familiarity that felt far older than obsession, Olivia realized the game had never truly been hers to control. The question was no longer how far she was willing to go for revenge. It was why a ruthless billionaire seemed to know her so intimately when she could barely remember him—and what devastating truth he had been keeping from her all along.
Ver másOlivia's POV.I walked back to my seat, moving really slow. My mind clouded with thoughts. “Who is this guy?” I screamed in my head as I sat down. The brown bag still sat on the corner of my desk like it was watching me. The paper looked ordinary, but it felt heavy with everything it meant. I really thought he would ask for money like someone of his status or character would after helping someone who coincidentally turns out to be rich. I’m willing to pay any sum rather than go on a date with a thug. I bent my head down to my desk, losing it and trying to compose myself. My fingers pressed hard against the table. I just can’t stop thinking as I’m so sure he has ulterior motives. The fear from earlier still sat cold in my stomach, mixed with anger that refused to settle. “Olivia—” I lifted my head up from the papers I was reviewing. My heart skipped a beat. Victor stood in the doorway. His tie was slightly loose. His eyes looked tired but soft when they found me. “You sho
Olivia's POV “Okay then… How is it with the Elite guest list?”I asked, my eyes scanning the list on the long glass table. The meeting room smelled of fresh coffee, warm paper, and the tension was still present. Soft afternoon light came through the tall windows and landed across the papers in front of us. My team sat around me in their neat suits and blouses, tablets and folders open.“Nothing from the Thornes yet, ma’am.” One of the junior staff members spoke, her voice careful and low.I tapped my pen once against the glass. The sound was sharp in the quiet room.“We sent the formal invitation two weeks ago,” Another man followed up, adjusting his glasses. “Followed up by email three times and once by courier. Still no reply. Not even a rejection.”“The CEO of Thorne Group doesn’t show his face anywhere,” A woman across from me added. She leaned forward, her fingers tight around her pen. “No photos. No interviews. No social presence at all. Some people in the industry still say h
Olivia's POV.I got a cab that morning and drove straight to the Ashford’s residence. The city passed by in a blur of gray buildings and wet streets. My head still felt light, like it floated a little above my shoulders. My body carried a dull, deep ache from the night before. When the tall black gates of our home finally came into view, something inside my chest loosened. I got down from the car. The air suddenly shifted to my taste… so refreshing and home. Cool morning air touched my face. It smelled of damp grass, clean earth, and the faint sweetness of the white flowers that always grew near the entrance. “That’s more like it.” I sniffed the air, entering my house. The familiar scent of flowers, and the soft laundry soap Ms. Lin always used wrapped around me like a quiet welcome. The marble floor felt cool and smooth under my heels. “Ma’am, where have you been last night? Your husband was really worried.” My closest maid, one that’s like a mother and a friend to me, sc
Olivia's POV.I opened my eyes really slowly, yawning out. I felt so relaxed, so much lighter in my head and my body. The ceiling above me was plain white. Soft morning light pushed through thin gray curtains.Still, my mouth felt dry and sticky. My limbs were heavy, like someone had poured wet sand into them. A dull ache sat behind my eyes. I blinked once. Twice. The room smelled clean—soap mixed with something woodsy. Not the damp alley. Not the sharp hospital smell of blood and disinfectant. I opened my eyes wide, shaking off the aftereffects of sleep. My heart suddenly raced fast. I gasped out, alarmed, as I touched my whole body, my hands moved fast over my arms, my sides, my legs, the torn hem of my dress. The fabrics are still on me. Underwear still in place. Nothing felt different. Nothing felt forced. I sighed loudly, now calm as I realized that I’m still in my clothes and the worst didn’t happen. “Oh my—” I sat up fast, realizing the situation and how fucked up I s
