The CEO’s Temptation Chapter 155: The Weight of a Name.
*************************POV: Morgan************************* --- They were saying my name on the news. Not in the headlines—not yet—but buried in the breathless commentary, the whispers from the anchors trying to be careful. “Former board members... ties to Agyis Dynamics... Morgan Arizona...” I muted the TV before they finished the sentence. It didn’t matter. I’d heard enough. Henry was already pacing the room. His tie was half-loosened, and the drink in his hand had gone untouched for twenty minutes. That alone told me how bad this was. “He’s not going to stop,” Henry muttered. I rubbed my eyes. “He never learned how.” Henry stopped. Turned. “You know he had a mother who adored him. A nanny who read to him every night. He didn’t grow up in chaos, Morgan. So how the hell did he become this?” I didn’t answer right away. The silence between us was thick—like oil clinging to our lungs. “Because some things don’t need chaos to grow,” I said eventually. “Just ne

***********************POV: Liam****************************** --- They always panic first. That was the beautiful thing about people. The moment you nudged the curtain back and showed them a sliver of truth, they didn’t stop to ask who pulled it. They screamed. They ran. They scattered. It was chaos. And I loved chaos. The news reports hadn’t stopped since sunrise. They played the same grainy video on loop—Aliana being wheeled out on a stretcher from the underground basement of Agyis Dynamics, pale, bruised, but breathing. Headlines screamed across every network: > “BREAKING: Missing Woman Found on Agyis Property” “Sources Link Liam Agyis to Underground Captivity” “CEO’s Half-Brother Implicated in Shocking Scandal” My name. My face. All over the screen. Exactly where I wanted it. I sat alone in my penthouse, high above the city, untouched by the frenzy below. The windows stretched from floor to ceiling, offering a panoramic view of Manhattan—every light, eve
The CEO’s Temptation Chapter 153: Shadows Before The Storm.
POV: Mack --- I woke up cold. The kind of cold that came from absence—not air. My hand reached out, instinctively seeking warmth, but the bed beside me was empty. Just the faintest dip in the mattress, her scent still clinging to the pillow. Claire was gone.> I didn’t need to open my eyes to know she wasn’t next to me anymore.The space where she had been was cool now—sheets twisted, warmth gone. I reached out anyway, fingertips brushing nothing but fabric. A sigh slipped from my lips before I could stop it.Then I heard her. Quiet. Almost not there.The soft creak of the floorboards. The shift of weight as she moved to the window again.I cracked one eye open, and there she was—bathed in silver from the city lights, arms folded, robe loose around her shoulders. Her silhouette glowed against the glass.She didn’t say a word. But I could see it in the curve of her back, the way her fingers clenched around her own elbows.Something was on her mind. Something heavy enough to keep
The CEO’s Temptation Chapter 152_ Cracks in the silence.
***************************POV: Claire************************ --- I could still hear Liz’s voice, even after she walked away. "I’ve got you, Claire. No matter what." And for the first time in what felt like weeks, I believed her. I lay in bed for hours that night, eyes open in the dark, watching the way the moonlight painted soft silver shapes across the ceiling. The room was quiet. Almost peaceful. But peace was a sound I no longer trusted. Because it always came before the storm. --- By morning, I’d convinced myself to fake normal. I showered, dressed, and even put on makeup. Mack noticed immediately when I walked into the kitchen, eyeliner sharp, lips glossed. He paused mid-call and tilted his head at me. “Big plans?” he mouthed. I just smiled and poured coffee. Inside, my nerves were in knots. My body was tired, but my mind wouldn’t rest. No matter how far we ran or how many guards stood outside the doors, Liam still found ways to slip into my thoughts. Lik

*******************POV: Liz ****************************---It used to be easier—talking to Claire.Now, every word I said around her felt like walking barefoot across shattered glass. We’d always known everything about each other. High school secrets, college heartbreaks, inside jokes no one else understood. But since Aliana… since Liam…since Sadie.......since Etian.........Everything had changed.She stood at the window that morning, cradling a mug of tea like it was the only thing holding her up. Sunlight cast across her face, but it did nothing to brighten the heaviness in her eyes.I walked in and leaned against the doorframe, watching her in silence.“You slept?” I asked, knowing the answer.“Enough.” She breathed as she didn't turn.That meant no.I crossed the room and stood beside her, letting the quiet stretch. We both looked out over the city, pretending the skyline could offer answers. I’d done it a hundred times too—after breakups, exams, all-nighters filled with tears
The CEO’s Temptation Chapter 150: The Quiet Before.
Chapter 150 – The Quiet Befo.***********************POV: Rowe***************************I prefer clocks ticking quietly in empty offices. They mark the world moving—even when nothing else does.I found myself watching a clock today, hoping the seconds would pass faster. But each tick was a reminder of a brewing storm.After our victories—the charges, the public shift, the raid—I expected calm. Instead, I felt an electric undercurrent. Something that whispered: Wait for it.I started at the precinct early, pulling redacted files on the Agyis investigation. I’d weaponized timelines, bank transfers, and paperwork. But more than that, I’d mapped movement paths—security logs, satellite ping times, and test evidence footage. A dozen graphs. Thousands of lines.Our case was airtight. Too airtight.Which meant Liam would strike. Not in the courtroom—no, too public. He’d strike where our defences were weakest: emotions, routines, home.The first sign: is Claire’s morning routine.At ten-fift
