The chair behind the mahogany desk in the executive office remained empty all day.

Elena sat at her desk, her fingers hovering over the keyboard, but for the first time since she had taken this job, she couldn't focus. Her gaze kept drifting toward the floor-to-ceiling glass wall of the inner sanctum. The massive mahogany desk behind it was clear. The leather chair was empty.

Damien Black hadn't shown up.

She checked the digital log—no meetings canceled, no "out of office" notification from Heller. As his Personal Secretary, the vacuum left by his absence was a physical weight. Every time the elevator chimed, her heart performed a violent, uninvited skip against her ribs, her breath hitching in anticipation of seeing his tall, intimidating frame. But each time, it was just a courier or a junior aide.

She spent most of the morning staring at her phone screen until the pixels blurred. The heart-eyes emoji stared back at her, mocking her. Why? Why did I let my thumb slip? She had conside

  • The Pinky Promise of the Billionaire    The Standoff

    The night was quiet around the villa, the kind of stillness that made every sound echo. Elena had just finished washing the teacups when she heard a commotion outside — raised voices, hurried footsteps, and the unmistakable tension of security trying to hold someone back.She frowned and stepped toward the hallway.Before she could reach the door, it burst open.Jessy stormed inside like a hurricane.Her hair was wild, her eyes blazing, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor as she shoved past the guards.“I told you,” Jessy snapped, pointing a manicured finger at the security team, “I am Damien’s girlfriend. If you don’t let me in, I will have every single one of you fired!”The guards exchanged uneasy glances. They knew the Chairman had never confirmed such a relationship — but Jessy’s threats were loud, dramatic, and relentless.Elena stepped forward, her voice firm. “What is going on?”Jessy didn’t answer.She didn’t even look at Elena.She marched straight into the l

    After the Event The night air outside the gala venue was cool, brushing softly against Elena’s skin as she stepped out of the building. The event had ended smoothly, though her heart was still racing from the tension of the evening — Damien’s touch, his closeness, the way he had guided her through the crowd.Elena stepped aside and pulled out her phone.“I’ll order a ride,” she said.“No,” Damien said immediately. “I’ll drive you home.”“It’s fine, sir—”“Elena.” His voice softened. “Let me.”She hesitated. “Alright.”He knew she was alone in the villa now.He wasn’t going to say it out loud, but he wasn’t ready to leave her alone tonight.Jessy stood near the exit, watching them with a clenched jaw.When Damien opened the car door for Elena — again — Jessy’s expression twisted.As the Rolls‑Royce pulled away, Jessy hurried to her own car.“I’ll expose whatever is going on between them,” she muttered, gripping her steering wheel. “Tonight.”She followed them out of the parking lot.T

    The office BuzzElena arrived at the office twenty minutes late, her heels clicking too loudly against the marble floor as she slipped through the glass doors. She rechecked the time on her phone — she was late. Not terribly, but late enough for her chest to feel tight as she hurried toward the executive floor. She glanced instinctively toward the corner office.Empty.His office door was closed.The lights inside were off.He wasn’t in yet.Elena exhaled slowly, relieved.She set her bag down and immediately began rearranging the files she had left on her desk the previous evening. Some documents needed to be sorted into the outgoing tray, and others required to be placed in Damien’s pending file. She moved quickly but neatly, trying to regain the sense of order she usually started her mornings with.She was halfway through organizing when she heard footsteps approaching.“Elenaaa,” Freda sang, dragging out her name with a sugary sweetness that didn’t match the sharpness in her eyes

  • The Pinky Promise of the Billionaire    The Invisible Rhythm

    The DepartureThe silence that now inhabited the villa was a new and unwelcome guest. Elena stood in the doorway of Lucas’s bedroom, leaning her forehead against the polished wood of the frame. It had been exactly one month since her younger brother had officially packed his bags for the university, and the house still felt a little too big without his constant presence. It wasn't that the villa had been silent before; on the contrary, it had been a whirlwind of life. There had been the constant thumping of Lucas’s bass-heavy music, the rhythmic clatter of Maria’s cooking in the kitchen, and the lively, sometimes heated debates over dinner. The house had been a whirlwind of energy—a sanctuary where they were finally free to be loud after years of shrinking themselves to fit into Maria's old, cramped apartment. But now, that energy was gone. Even with Aunt Maria still in the house, the vast rooms felt hollow and boring. The silence wasn't peaceful; it was heavy, an "eerie echo" of t

  • The Pinky Promise of the Billionaire    Under the Mask

    The penthouse was a cold, silent fortress of glass and marble. Damien stood by the window, his silhouette mirrored in the dark panes. He didn't need the lights on; he had lived in the shadows for fifteen years, and tonight, the darkness felt like the only thing that was honest.He slowly rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, exposing his wrists. In the faint glow of the city lights, the scars were visible—jagged, pale lines where the ropes had once been. To anyone else, they were just old injuries. To Damien, they were the marks of a life he had been forced to abandon. He couldn't sleep; he hadn't slept a whole night since he was twelve years old. Every time he closed his eyes, he was back in the suffocating silence of the aftermath.His mind drifted back to a rainy afternoon, months after the "incident" had ended.Flashback: 15 Years AgoThe house had felt like a tomb. His parents knew the truth—they knew Daniel had lured Damien away and left him there. That realization had shattered t
