The taste Of Revenge AN EMPIRE FOR HER
The silence inside the penthouse was thick, heavy, and suffocating. The rain continued to batter the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, turning the sprawling New York skyline into a smeared canvas of artificial lights.For the last twenty minutes, I had been pacing the length of the hardwood floor, my tailored jacket discarded on the sofa, my necktie hanging loose around my neck. Every breath felt like inhaling liquid lead. My mind was racing at a dangerous speed, trying to solve an equation that made no sense. Aurora sat on the edge of the velvet armchair, her legs crossed, watching me with wide, tear-rimmed eyes. She looked small, fragile, and utterly terrified for us.“Xavier, please,” she said softly, her voice trembling as she wrung her hands in her lap. “Sit down for a second. You’re going to drive yourself crazy pacing like that.”“I can’t sit down, Aurora,” I rasped, running both hands through my hair, gripping the strands tightly. “You don’t understand what Elliott is hol
The taste Of Revenge TWENTY-FOUR HOURS TO RUIN
I buried my face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her sweet, familiar perfume. The sheer relief of holding her almost brought me to my knees. The terror that had been building inside me for the last three hours finally broke, spilling over into a deep, desperate shudder that racked my entire body.“It’s bad, baby,” I murmured against her skin, my hands trembling as I held her tight against me, needing the solid reality of her body to convince myself I was still alive. “The government... they raided Sterling Capital. They froze the internal network, locked us out of our own systems. They told me not to touch anything, not even a mouse…or…a pen. I couldn't even call you, they treated me like a criminal in my own empire.” She pulled back slightly, her soft, delicate hands cupping my face, her thumb brushed over my cheekbone with a gentleness that nearly made my eyes sting. Her wide, beautiful eyes were shining with what looked like pure terror for us…for our future.“A raid? Xavier, o
The taste Of Revenge SOMEONE CLOSE
The elevator doors closed with a soft, quiet chime, shutting out Eliot Crane’s smug face and his corner office on the forty-second floor.I stood completely alone in the shiny steel box as it plunged straight down toward the street level. My hands were shaking, but it was not from fear… I was completely furious. Eliot thought he could take my data, use it to destroy my husband, and then shove me into some useless advisor role. He thought he could keep the vice president seat for whoever the fuck he kept it for. He thought he was the smartest man in the room, but he was dead wrong.“He really thinks he can treat me like a fool,” I thought to myself, my heels clicking sharply against the polished floor as I stormed out of the elevator, through the quiet Northstar lobby, and straight out into the heavy pouring rain. Suddenly the receptionist found her screen fascinating when she saw me and the remaining riff raff employees knew how smart it was to just give me way. My driver held the c
The taste Of Revenge NINETY MILLION DOLLARS AND A CAGE
The ping on my encrypted phone doesn’t sound like an alert. it sounds like the whisper of a blade drawing blood instead. I don't even need to unlock the screen to know what it is. Sitting in the plush, leather interior of my town car parked two blocks away from Northstar Holdings, I stare down at the neon-blue numbers glowing against the dark display:’Deposit Confirmed: $,90,000,000.00 USD. Routing: Cayman-International-Private.’ A cold, razor-thin smile touches my lips. Ninety million dollars. The liquid price of my family’s stolen honor. The cost of five years surviving as Xavier Adrian’s decorative, obedient trophy while he built his empire on my father's grave.My phone vibrates in my palm, and the screen lights up with ‘Eliot’ boldly written. I press the device to my ear, leaning my head back against the leather headrest, my voice dropping into a smooth, icy purr. "I see the transfer cleared, Eliot. You’re a man of your word after all.""I always honor my financial commitments,
The taste Of Revenge THE BEGINNING OF THE FALL
XAVIER'S POVThe notification from the compliance office didn’t arrive via email, instead it arrived in the form of two federal agents in dark suits standing in the marble rotunda of Sterling Capital at 8:42 AM.I didn’t even have my coat off."Mr. Adrian," Gerald’s voice sounded thin and completely drained of life, as he stood in the doorway of my inner office. His hands were trembling so violently that the single sheet of white paper he held rustled like a dry leaf. "It’s... it’s the Commission. They’ve issued an emergency administrative freeze on all Sterling primary accounts. Effective immediately."The mug of black coffee in my hand stayed perfectly still, but inside my chest, something snapped. A cold, thick numbness spread outward from my heart, paralyzing my throat, my lungs, my limbs. I blinked twice just to be sure I heard right and this is in no case a delusion."They can't freeze the accounts," I said. My voice, flat and rasp at the same time, entirely detached from the e
The taste Of Revenge THE FIRST DOMINO
ELLIOT'S POV The silver key to the kingdom didn’t taste like victory, it tasted like the copper tang of a man’s impending execution.I roll the metallic flash drive between my calloused fingers, the sharp edges biting into my skin until the pressure leaves a deep, angry indentation in my thumb. I don't care about the slight sting anyway. My chest feels completely tight, my ribs expanding against the fabric of my waistcoat with a heavy, suffocating heat that has nothing to do with the summer rain outside. My pulse is a violent hammer against my throat, roaring in my ears like a furnace.I stand in the absolute shadows of the Chelsea conservatory, my boots rooted to the cracked stone floor, watching the silhouette of his wife disappear into the dark. Aurora. She moves like a ghost, silent and lethal, leaving behind the suffocating scent of jasmine and the cold, metallic aftertaste of absolute betrayal. Most men would be terrified of a woman who can sleep in a man's bed while construct
