*ARLENE’s POV*

I didn’t sleep at all. My mind wouldn’t shut off, spinning in circles, replaying every word of the agreement I made with Mago.

What the hell were you thinking, Arlene?’ I scolded myself. ‘You agreed to his terms. His terms! Have you lost your mind?’

But then, a softer voice crept in. ‘You know why you did it. You want to be a part of his life. You want to break through that wall he hides behind. You want to know him.’

‘Yeah, but at what cost?’ I snapped back. ‘This is Mago we’re talking about! He doesn’t care about anyone—he just wants to get you into bed. That’s all he’s ever after.’

The thought made my chest tighten. ‘Don’t be stupid, Arlene. You’re just another game to him.’

‘But he’s not a heartless jerk,&r

  • The Woman He Broke   75 – The Ruin I Craved

    *Mago’s POV*I stared blankly at the ceiling, my arm resting behind my head as dim light bled through the room, casting faint, flickering shadows across the walls. The air was warm and thick with the remnants of what we’d just done—our heat still lingering on the sheets, on my skin, in my chest.Beside me, Arlene slept—peaceful, vulnerable, tangled in the chaos we had just created.Her body was curled toward mine, like it belonged there, like this bed was her home. Her lips were slightly parted, her breathing soft and steady, as if she was dreaming of something tender—something I would never give her.And I hated it.I hated how easily she could rest next to me, trust me. I hated the way my chest ached just looking at her. Because this wasn’t supposed to happen. It was never meant to feel like this.I wasn’t supposed to fall.I was supposed to use her.Ruin

  • The Woman He Broke   74 – Fired Up

    *Arlene’s POV*It’s been a week since we first crossed that line—and ever since, Mago has been relentless.We’ve blurred every boundary—between night and day, between affection and hunger. I’ve lost count of how many times he’s taken me in his arms, how many places in our house have become silent witnesses to our desire. And I haven’t said no. Not once. How could I, when every time he touches me, I forget how to breathe?My lips curled into a smirk as I eyed the bar counter, the sleek marble surface glinting under the lights. It reminded me of that night—the first night. The one that started it all. Midnight had draped the house in stillness, and we thought Naina was asleep. We were wrong.Mago had just pulled me onto the counter, my back arching, his breath hot against my skin—when Naina appeared from her room. I still remember the wide-eyed look of horror on her face before she turned around and vanished like a ghost into the h

  • The Woman He Broke   73 - On the Record, Under the Desk

    I didn’t expect what Mago had in mind—not here, not now—but the adrenaline coursing through my veins made it impossible to resist. After that heated encounter in the office, I kept replaying the moment, wondering when it would happen again. I didn’t imagine it would be this soon—or inside a cabinet—while the on-the-job trainees were being oriented just a few feet away.Part of me screamed to stop. But a louder part, the one that ached for his touch, didn’t want to. The thrill of secrecy, the danger of discovery—it was maddening. My fingers trembled as I fumbled with my belt, breath catching when Mago did the same. From the crack in the cabinet door, I could see flickers of light and movement in the bar. But in here, it was just us. A tight, dark space with no air and too much electricity.He caught my gaze. His eyes were fire and shadows. No words passed between us. Just breath and urgency. Mago gently lifted my leg, anchoring it against his arm, steadying me with one hand at my waist

  • The Woman He Broke   72 – Cabinet Confessions

    *Mago’s POV*Arlene’s release painted my skin like a baptism, a claiming, a fire I never knew I craved. Her body trembled, raw and undone, as she collapsed against me, her breath ragged, her fingers clawing at my neck.“Please,” she whispered, her voice a desperate prayer. “Get inside me.”I cupped her face, my thumb tracing her swollen lips. “Arlene, if I take you now, I won’t hold back. I might ruin you.”“Then ruin me,” she begged, her eyes burning with reckless surrender. “Consume me. Take me. Own me, Mago. Let me drown in you. Destroy me.”A growl rumbled in my throat as I pushed her onto the desk, the papers and pens scattering like fallen leaves. She gasped as I spread her thighs, my hands rough, my need unbearable. With one swift, claiming thrust, I was inside her—deep, hot, relentless.She arched against me, her nails sinking into my back as she screamed my name. My office was soundproof, but even if i

  • The Woman He Broke   71 – His to Ruin

    *Arlene’s POV*The office was silent, save for the faint hum of the air conditioner and the sound of Mago flipping through paperwork. He was focused, his brows furrowed, his fingers tapping idly against his desk as he read. I watched him from the corner of my eye, pretending to be busy, but every glance in his direction made my heart pound.The tension between us was unbearable.It had been there since last night—thick, suffocating, charged with something neither of us wanted to name. There were moments when our eyes met, but we both looked away too quickly, as if acknowledging it would set something uncontrollable into motion.I wanted to speak, to break the silence, but words failed me.Finally, when lunchtime rolled around, we both opened our mouths at the same time.“Aren’t you going to eat?”“How are you?”The awkwardness slammed into us like a tidal wave. I bit my lip, looking away. Mago exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck. The air felt heavier, thicker, and then—he moved.In

  • The Woman He Broke   70 – Sausages and Ahem-Seduction

    I stayed in bed, staring at the ceiling, replaying every moment of last night. It was both traumatic and… thrilling. My body still ached in places I never knew could ache, but oddly enough, I had no regrets. Sure, it started painfully, but once the initial shock wore off—well, let’s just say, I finally understood why romance novels were so obsessed with this whole thing.Just thinking about it sent a wave of warmth crawling up my neck. I bit my lip, resisting the ridiculous smile threatening to take over my face. My traitorous body tingled at the mere memory, and I groaned, burying my face into the pillow.‘Get it together, Arlene. You’re a respectable woman. A married woman. You cannot be daydreaming about your husband like some hormonal teenager.’ I scolded myself.The door creaked open, and I snapped my eyes shut, pretending to still be asleep.“Arlene?” Naina’s voice broke the silence. &l
