Zoey's POV

"Get your filthy hands off me," I said, my voice dangerously low and smooth.

Before Lily could react, I shoved her hands off me. The unexpected strength of my movement caught her off guard. Lily stumbled back a step, her foot catching on the edge of the rug. For a fraction of a second, her sweet, angelic mask completely slipped, revealing an ugly glare of pure rage.

I let out a cold, mocking scoff, stepping down onto the foyer floor and towering over her in my heels.

  • The CEO’s Forbidden Obsession.   Chapter 9

    Zoey's POV A heavy, suffocating warmth pressed against my chest, pulling me slowly from my deep sleep. Blinking against the soft morning light, I discovered the culprit was just Chloe. She was sound asleep, snoring softly with her arms and legs wrapped around me like a koala.Gently, I untangled myself from her grip, slipping out of the massive bed so I wouldn't wake her. Standing up, I pressed my palms to my throbbing temples and took a proper look around the room. It was breathtaking. The entire master suite was designed in ultra-modern, charcoal and matte-black tones. From the silk sheets to the dark walls, the moody color palette screamed sophistication. It didn't take a genius to guess that black was Leo's absolute favorite color."Morning, sleeping beauty," a groggy, deep voice murmured from the doorway.I turned to see Leo walking into the room, wearing nothing but a pair of loose gray sweatshorts. His hair was a bedhead mess, but he held two tall glasses of ice-cold water in

The unexpected strength of my movement caught her off guard. Lily stumbled back a step, her foot catching on the edge of the rug. For a fraction of a second, her sweet, angelic mask completely slipped, revealing an ugly glare of pure rage.I let out a cold, mocking scoff, stepping down onto the foyer floor and towering over her in my heels."Let me make something incredibly clear to you, Lily," I warned, stepping closer until I could see the subtle tremble of fear in her eyes. "Never cross my path again, and never give me advice on what to wear or how to live my life. If you or your useless mother attempt to interfere with me even one more time, I will use my position as the rightful Ryan heir to have both of you thrown out into the streets of Chicago without a single penny. Try me, and see if I'm joking."Lily's mouth fell open, her face turning

  • The CEO’s Forbidden Obsession.   Chapter 7

    Zoey’s POV A heavy scent of roasted duck and expensive wine wafted from the dining room. Peeking through the arched doorway, I spotted my stepmother, Vanessa, and Lily, seated at the long mahogany table. They were the picture of elite perfection, speaking in hushed, elegant tones. The original Zoey would have walked in there, and would have launched into a loud, dramatic complaint about her day. I didn't have the energy or the desire for their toxic theater. Without casting a single glance toward them, I kept my chin up, walking straight past the doorway and heading directly up the staircase toward my bedroom. "Zoey?" Vanessa’s sharp voice echoed from the dining room, but I didn't even slow my pace. I closed my bedroom door behind me, letting out a long, exhausted breath. I needed to get ready. The clubbing plans with Chloe and Leo were the only thing keeping me sane—a rare chance to experience the carefree youth I had spent my previous life denying myself. I marched straight into

  • The CEO’s Forbidden Obsession.   Chapter 6

    Zoey’s POV"Zoey! Oh my god, Zoey!"I blinked, looking up just in time to see a girl with a vibrant mane of bright red hair waving frantically at me across the room.The vibrant mane of fire-red hair cutting through the crowd could only belong to one person as the girl practically sprinted toward my table.The original Zoey Ryan had two ride-or-die best friends, Chloe and Leo. Chloe was the fourth richest heiress in Chicago, a sharp contrast to the old Zoey. While Zoey wasted her life chasing men and throwing tantrums, Chloe was fiercely ambitious. Being the only child, she was determined to master anything needed in the business world to take over her father’s multi-billion company."Zoey! Oh my god, Zoey!" Chloe gasped, finally reaching my table and gripping the edge of the plastic surface to catch her breath.She stared down at my salad tray, her green eyes wide with absolute bewilderment. "Am I hallucinating? Is there a carbon monoxide leak on your floor? Please tell me I’m dreami

  • The CEO’s Forbidden Obsession.   Chapter 5

    Zoey’s POVMy heart seemed stop. A cold, suffocating wave of adrenaline surged through my veins, and my fingers went entirely numb. The phone slipped from my hand, clattering heavily onto the duvet.No. No, no, no.I scrambled for the phone, my hands shaking so violently I could barely grip the screen. I stared at the name on the screen again, hoping, praying that I had misread it."Why now?" I whispered into the empty room, my voice trembling. I threw off the covers and began pacing across the hardwood floor. "I clearly remember reading it. The internship was supposed to start in late September. Did I miss something? Did I skip a chapter?"Panic clawed at the edges of my mind. The original plan was simple: save money, lay low for three months, and vanish before the storm hit. But now, the storm is arriving in two months.And worse—as the senior personal assistant to the CEO, the new junior interns routed directly through me. Mai wouldn't just be working at Vance Global; she would be

  • The CEO’s Forbidden Obsession.   Chapter 4

    Zoey’s POVThe stinging heat on my cheek radiated straight through my jaw, blinding and fierce. My vision swam for a second before the dim lights of the grand foyer flickered on, revealing the two women standing before me."How dare you humiliate this family!" a voice hissed.I blinked through the haze, staring at the woman who had just struck me. She was older, dressed in an expensive designer gown, her face contorted in rage. Just behind her stood a younger girl in a white silk dress, her eyes wide with a doe-eyed, fragile innocence. For a disorienting, terrifying moment, I just stared at them. My modern mind was blank. Who are they?Then, like a file loading into a computer, the original Zoey’s suppressed memories violently locked in place in my mind. The sudden realization hit me like a physical blow.Vanessa and Lily.Vanessa was Zoey’s stepmother, and Lily was the stepsister. But the truth was far more sinister than a simple blended family. In the pages of Crimson Chains, Vaness
