*ARELEN’S POV*

They always say timing is everything.

But no one ever warns you what to do when your body says yes at the exact moment your mind whispers, This is dangerous.

I thought I was just playing the game Patricia taught me. A subtle move. A flick of the wrist, a calculated sway of the hips, a sideways glance that promised mischief and dared him to chase. She said if I ever wanted to grab Mago’s attention—really grab it—I had to stop acting like I didn’t know what I was doing.

I tried it.

And Mago noticed.

God, did he notice.

One second, he was watching me from across the ballroom like he always did—eyes smoldering, jaw set like he was grinding down temptation between his teeth. The next, his hand was wrapped around mine, firm and silent, and he was pulling me out of that hall like I had just flipped the kill switch on his restraint.

He didn’t speak. He didn’t ask.

He just took.

And I let him.

Maybe I should’ve felt nervous. Maybe I should’ve been smarter. But the way he dragged

  • The Woman He Broke   76- Control Me, Break Me

    *Mago's POV* We all gathered—me and the rest of the gang—for Stuart’s big surprise proposal redo. Yeah, you heard that right: redo. This was take two because the first one didn’t go as planned—long story. Now, Stuart was set on making it unforgettable. The guy even made sure everything was picture-perfect, down to the last rose petal on the floor. Classic Stuart move. Super cheesy. He even made sure the rest of us wore white—as in, full-on “attend-a-wedding-you-didn’t-plan-for” kind of white. Apparently, if Patricia said yes, we were rolling straight into an instant ceremony. Bro didn’t just bring a ring. He brought a judge for the wedding. I was chuckling to myself, sipping from a champagne flute I didn't even like, scanning the crowd when my eyes locked on her. Arlene. She stood a few feet away, surrounded by Janine, Vivienne, and Cerise. The girl gang. Who would've thought they'd hit it off so fast? They were laughing at something, probably some inside joke I wouldn’t get. But I

  • 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
