LENA

The next morning, I pushed the thoughts of whatever was going on in the Hale's mansion aside. I have a business empire to tend to and not wrap myself up in these family intrigues.

I don't care whatever was going on in Victoria’s head or even what the fuck Nathan was up to. All I wanted was an escape from this hellish mansion.

After washing up and getting dressed up, I took one last look at my mint green tailored suit paired with a crisp blouse and fitted trousers. I have an important meeting with one of my clients today and I don't want anything to affect my mood.

On my way out of the room, my phone started buzzing. Thinking it was likely Samantha, I picked it up. My hands shook at the name on the screen.

“ Let's see, Lena. I-”

It was from David and he wanted to see me. A shiver ran down my spine as I recalled our last encounter. I quickly blocked his number, not wanting to deal with him right now.

Then I quickly zoomed off to the company.

Less than two hours later, I slumpe

  • The Vow I Never Took   Try Making Out, And I Will Kill Myself

    Nathan POV “I can't believe you both slept through the morning. You, Nathan, have three of the most powerful people in this city looking for. Lena, you're a target by association. And yet, you're both waking up by 2 pm.” Adrian met our eyes through the rear mirror. I groaned. Beside me, Lena nervously rearranged her scarf, trying to hide the hickey I'd left on her neck last night. “Drop it, Adrian. We had a wild night, and we both needed the rest. That's all you need to know.”Adrian snorted. I put my arm over Lena's shoulder, pulling her closer to me. She was wearing light make-up, her lips painted a lovely crimson. All I could think about was kissing the lipstick off her mouth, of possessing her right here and now in this car. As if anticipating my thoughts, Lena licked her lips, watching me with the same hunger in her eyes that I felt. “God, if you two start making out in the back of this car, I'm going to kill myself,” Adrian quiped from the driver's seat. “Seriously, you two

  • The Vow I Never Took   The Best Feeling

    Nathan POVI kissed her. Her lips were soft and moist, and they pressed easily against my own. When I flicked my tongue over her mouth, I could taste the wine. Exquisite. Just like the rest of her. The black dress glued to her frame, sliding gently over her curves. She was really the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. And now she was all mine. We kissed again, a harsher, needier kiss than the first. Passion stoked like flames inside of me. I could feel her sickle-shaped lashes press against my cheeks, hear her own heartbeat drumming against hers, feel her bare skin beneath my fingertips. It was taking all of my self control not to simply rip off her clothes right there. “Nathan,” she called, her tone heavy and filled with want. Her eyes lowered to the bulge in my pants. I smiled, hiding a grimace. We were in the hallway and I was really thinking about fucking her right here?“Do you trust me?” I asked her, grabbing her waist and pulling her to me. She gasped, seeming to flush u

  • The Vow I Never Took   I Had It At Last

    Lena POV“Ah, Mr. Hale, it's lovely to have you back again with us,” the chef said, bobbing his head. Nathan, predictably, was ignoring him. He had his hand on the small of my back, his fingers trailing light lines over my bare skin. Each touch of his sent tingles coursing up my spine. I struggled to speak, but it felt like my tongue weighed a hundred tons. “Mr. Hale?” the chef said nervously. Nathan finally turned to face him. “Good evening, Enzo. Don't tell me you weren't expecting me. I have a reservation here every last Friday of the month.”Sweat actually dripped down the face of the chef. He looked nervous, and he wrung his hands anxiously. “Well, ah… we heard of your … predicament. We prayed earnestly for your recovery, I most of all. Then…”“Then what, Enzo?” Nathan asked, his voice dangerously low. Enzo swallowed loudly. “Mr. Sebastian informed the establishment that you were not goi

  • The Vow I Never Took   I Want To Kiss You

    Lena POVThe hearth hissed as the logs burned and cracked. Golden orange flames leaped from log to log like excited acrobats. I held a mug of coffee in my palms, warming myself with the heat. Steam wafted and coiled like a finger as it ascended out of the cup. I pulled my knees closer to my chest, snuggling deeper into the couch, and holding the blanket strewn over my shoulders a little tighter. Nathan sat beside me. He'd taken off his shirt, and honestly, it was hard not to stare. Every part of him was plated with muscle. He looked more like a Greek god than man. His chest rose and fell as he breathed, and a tail of hair ran between his well defined abs, disappearing into his pants. His tattoos gleamed like obsidian paint in the dim light. I wanted to reach for him and take his jaw in my hands, to press my face into his chest and breathe in his scent. His hand rested on my thigh, his fingers drawing circles over my tingling skin, and each

  • The Vow I Never Took   Real Battle

    Lena POV“I’m back on track!”The crowd froze as Nathan's voice carried to every edge of the conference. “Nathan… Nathan Hall?” A reporter said nervously, his eyes wide open. In his surprise, he'd forgotten to turn on his recorder. “In the flesh,” Nathan replied. “I'm back. News of my declining health has had a figment of truth, but as you can clearly see, they were exaggerated. I'm back and I'm well, and I'm resuming control of the company immediately. I apologise to our investors and to the board for my absence. It is my hope that I am able to assuage their fears. But none of you have anything to worry about.”The crowd stilled, like a dam just about to break, then it broke. Suddenly, everyone had questions.“Where have you been, Nathan?” “How did you recover so quickly, Mr. Hall?”“What do you have to say about your declining stocks?”“When will you be rolling out the new product?”“Did M

  • The Vow I Never Took   Fifty Five

    Nathan’s POV“People are already speculating about the announcement,” Grace said softly. “Most think Sebastian is about to be named the acting CEO.”I clenched my jaw tightly, feeling anger burn in my chest. That was exactly what they wanted. For the world to accept Sebastian as the face of Hale International while I disappeared forever.Not today.Behind Sebastian came Richard, wearing his usual black suit, his silver hair slicked back neatly. And beside him was Victoria, dressed in an elegant navy gown, her hair styled perfectly, her expression calm and cold.The three of them stood together, posing for the cameras as if they were royalty. Reporters shouted their names, and their smiles grew wider as they waved and walked towards the stage set up near the main entrance.Beside me, Lena let out a quiet sigh. “They look so sure of themselves,” she said softly.I smirked slightly, shaking my head. “They won’t be smiling for long.”At that moment, I turned to Adrian who was seated in th
