Vivienne POV

~•~

I stepped out of Damon’s office, his handprint still burning on my backside through the skirt. No amount of rubbing made it fade. The hallway stretched longer than it had that morning, the lights too bright, like the walls were staring. My legs wobbled, but I forced them forward.

I hurried to my office, heels clicking fast, and shut the door with a quiet click that sounded too final.

The room was dim, blinds half-closed against the afternoon sun. My desk felt familiar, the computer screen glowing softly. I sank into the chair, rolled my shoulders, and tried to breathe steady.

Damon would notice soon, and everything would explode. I told myself this was just my job, keeping the company safe. Not because I cared about the man who’d just grabbed me like I belonged to him.

My fingers moved quick over the keys, pulling up the secure ledger. Rows of transactions filled the screen, clean at first glance. But the deeper I went, the worse it looked. Small transfers sent to fa

  • The CEO's Untamed Contract Bride   Who Is Elena?

    Vivienne POV~•~I stared at my phone screen after the call ended, my fingers still tight around the device as I processed William’s words.Frustration rushed through me at his persistence, but underneath it, a small voice questioned if his warnings about Damon held any truth. The safe house felt more like a cage now, with the tall pines outside whispering in the wind, and the distant sound of guards patrolling adding to my sense of isolation. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself, and decided to go back inside before Liam woke up and noticed my absence. As I stepped through the door, the warm light from the living room lamp cast long shadows on the walls, mirroring the doubts creeping into my mind.I moved quietly to the kitchen, where I poured myself a glass of water from the sink, the cool liquid doing little to ease the knot in my stomach. I still couldn’t help but remember how far I had come since leaving William, remembering the nights I spent alone in cheap hotels, j

  • The CEO's Untamed Contract Bride   Hidden Shadows

    Vivienne POV~•~I stepped out of the car into the cool country air, the safe house standing tall ahead. It was a big cabin wrapped in tall pine trees that moved softly in the wind. Gravel crunched under my shoes as I helped Liam down, his little hand holding mine tight and his eyes big with wonder and tiredness from the hospital. Guards in dark suits spread out around us, looking over the area quietly, while Damon talked low on his phone nearby. I couldn’t help but feel worried that this spot, with its wood sides and wide porch, looked nice but felt like another trap, far from the city but still tied to the risks following us. I picked Liam up and carried him inside. I opened the door to a warm space with soft lights from lamps, a stone fireplace, and comfy couches. I set him on the living room sofa with his stuffed dragon, pulling a blanket over him as he settled in.Once Liam fell asleep, I walked around the house quietly, my steps light on the wood floors. The kitchen had fresh

  • The CEO's Untamed Contract Bride   Celeste’s Gone

    Damon POV~•~I gripped my steering wheel tight, the engine roaring as I weaved through city traffic. Different horns blared around me in the early morning haze, rain slicked the windshield, and the dashboard clock glowed, showing how long I’d been away from Vivienne and Liam since leaving the warehouse. My phone, clamped in the holder, still reminded me about the report about the intruders. My knuckles whitened as I cursed under my breath and slammed the accelerator at a yellow light. Celeste’s words replayed in my head, her alliance with Damien and even William, that whole web closing in on the one safe spot I thought we had. I regretted not posting more guards sooner. I’d underestimated them, and now I’d make them pay.I navigated a sharp turn, tires squealing on the wet road, and soon enough, I screeched into the hospital lot, parked rough, and stormed through the entrance, coat flapping. The lobby was filled with nurses with carts, and people waiting as usual. I flashed my I

  • The CEO's Untamed Contract Bride   The Nurse’s Confession

    Vivienne POV~•~I glanced back at Liam sleeping peacefully under the eye of the nurse I’d trusted to watch him. I couldn’t let this slip away. I took a deep breath, adjusted my coat, and started after that nurse, keeping my steps soft and careful. I wove through groups of visitors and staff, staying just far enough back not to be noticed. My thoughts raced. I needed to know who she was working for. I’d waited too long for Damon to fix things. Now, I had to protect my son myself.I trailed her through the main lobby and past the reception desk which led outside. I kept my head down, using pillars and vending machines to hide. She paused at the exit, looking around like she expected trouble, then pushed through the glass doors. I slipped out after her, the cool night breeze hitting my face and whipping my hair. My pulse thundered in my ears as I watched her head toward a distant sedan, fumbling with her keys. I weighed my choices, I couldn’t decide if it was best confront her now,

  • The CEO's Untamed Contract Bride   A Strange Nurse

    Vivienne POV~•~I sat beside Liam’s bed as I watched his chest rise and fall in shallow breaths while I held his small hand gently, my thumb tracing circles on his skin to comfort myself as much as him. My phone was on the side table, the screen dark now, but the memory of the last text still burned in my mind like a fresh wound. Only looking at it and my heart was already pounding with a mix of fear and anger, wondering who sent it. As the minutes stretched on, I decided I could no longer sit idle, waiting for Damon to “handle it” as he always promised. So, I stood quietly, careful not to wake Liam, and slipped my phone into my pocket. My mind was made up to take action on my own. I stepped into the hallway and pulled out my phone to text Susan, asking her for help tracing the anonymous number. And luckily for me, Susan responded quickly, agreeing to discuss through a phone call.I arranged for a trusted nurse to watch Liam for a short time, explaining it as a quick errand. And a

  • The CEO's Untamed Contract Bride   Conglomerate’s Warning

    Damon POV~•~I stood in the doorway, my frame blocking the hallway light while my fists folded tightly at my sides. I scanned the room quick, looking for any signs of a trap or someone hiding. My mind went back to the hospital, where I’d left Vivienne crying. I knew I should be there with her and Liam, but this felt like something I had to do right now to keep them safe.I stepped inside, my eyes already locked on the gun on the table. I figured the distance and how fast she might react. “Why Liam?” I said, my voice low and firm. “He’s a kid. He had nothing to do with us. Why go after him?”Celeste laughed, reaching for the pistol like she wanted me to see every move. She didn’t point it yet, but she held it loose in her hand as a warning. “Oh, Damon, always straight to the point. You haven’t changed.”She had no right to drag a child into this.I started circling the room, my shoes thudding on the thin carpet, getting closer without making her jump. “Tell me about Rico,” I said. “T
