James pov

Father: After securing the contract for you, you still managed to lose it to Alaric. I am deeply disappointed. You couldn’t even win against that child? You are the heir to the Voss Enterprise. If you can’t handle something as simple as this, then perhaps you’re not ready. Do whatever it takes to make him lose the deal. Your grandfather might not say it out loud, but he’s not pleased, Alaric is receiving the majority of the percentage.

Me: I apologize, Father. I understand. I won’t fail you this time.

Father: I do not need your empty promises. What I need are results. It's been confirmed that the Ashford Corporation is also part of this deal. Alaric is offering them a 10% profit, and you know that bastard never does anything without a motive. I want you to find out why he did it.

I raised a brow as I read the messages, a frown tugging at the corner of my lips. My fingers stilled against the table beside me, eyes narrowing in disbelief.

  • Touch me, Ruin me: Daddy's pet   124|Thank you, little rose. 

    Alaric pov My eyes were fixed on her, wide in disbelief, as I watched Isla throw punch after punch at James, her rage palpable. I just stood there, unmoving, unblinking, stunned by the sudden turn of events. But the next second, as she released his shirt and grabbed his hands, pinning them to the ground, then leaned in so close that there was barely any space between their faces, I snapped out of my daze, a frown tugging at the corners of my lips. Hell, I didn’t care if she punched the bastard to death but that position was getting on my nerves. There was no way I was letting my little rose get this close to him. Before I could move to pull her away or do anything, she screamed, her voice raw with emotion, freezing me in place. “Why did you treat him that way? Why do you hate him so much? Why?! What did he do so wrong that you could do all that to him?” I stiffened, eyes widening even further as I stared at the scene unfolding in front of me. What? “Why do you have t

  • Touch me, Ruin me: Daddy's pet   123|Fucking Voss family!

    Isla pov “Keep my boyfriend out of your fucking mouth!” I roared with everything in me and before anyone could react, the moment James hit the ground, I pounced. My fist shot up, rage burning through me, as I grabbed a fistful of his shirt and yanked him closer. His eyes widened in disbelief, but I didn’t hesitate, I crouched low, gathered every ounce of strength I had, and slammed my fist straight into his face. He groaned, his head snapping back, but I didn’t stop. I kept hitting him, each blow fueled by the fire in my chest, Alaric’s words from two years ago echoing in my head again and again. The way he was treated by his own family was unbearable. He was their flesh and blood, yet they acted like he wasn’t human, like he was nothing but an animal, just because he was an illegitimate son. But why did that matter? Why did he have to suffer so much because of it? Why… why… “Why!” I screamed, slamming my fist into him harder this time. James jerked back, blood spilling fro

  • Touch me, Ruin me: Daddy's pet   122|Keep my boyfriend's name out of your mouth!

    Isla pov I wasn’t even sure what stunned me more. The fact that Alaric was here, standing right behind his brother, or the fact that he had just called me his girlfriend in front of everyone. Wait—what the hell was I even saying? Of course, it was the fact that he had called me his girlfriend in front of everyone. Girlfriend?! As in boyfriend and girlfriend? As in relationship? Dating?! My mouth fell open as I stared at the gorgeous man in front of me, utterly shocked. My heart pounded so loudly against my chest that I swore I could hear the echo, and my jaw nearly hit the floor as I waited for him to correct himself, to laugh, to say it was just a slip of the tongue. But he didn’t. He just kept staring at his brother, James with that infuriating grin. Still reeling, I felt both Esther and Suhyeon lean in close on either side of me, their whispers brushing against my ears. “Hey, did I just hear Mr. Alaric Voss say girlfriend? So you really are his girlfriend and kept saying y

  • Touch me, Ruin me: Daddy's pet   121|Girlfriend's house

    Alaric pov I couldn’t stay away. No matter how hard I tried, I simply couldn’t. And that was when I realized, this was the first time I had truly lost control. I was a man who rarely cared about anything, or anyone. Anyone… except my little rose. She was the only one who mattered. My salvation. The reason I was still alive, still breathing, the reason I hadn’t jumped that day. If you thought about it, she was my everything. But she was also my weakness. The only weakness I had. The only one who could make me lose control. So when I told myself to keep some distance from her, while I investigated the bastard stalking her, in case he lost his mind further at seeing me near Isla, I had truly expected to keep to it. It seemed the wiser choice. Less distraction. Because whenever I was with Isla, I was always distracted, one way or another. And yet, I still found myself ordering Liam to head to the penthouse where she was staying. I had no real plans to see her, but perhaps…

  • Touch me, Ruin me: Daddy's pet   120| Fancy meeting you here, brother.

    Isla pov It wasn’t Alaric, but James, Alaric’s brother, who stood before me, his cold, chilling expression fixed on me. His gaze sent shivers racing down my spine, my heart pounding harder against my chest, especially at our close proximity as he towered over me with one hand tucked casually into his pocket. For a brief moment, as I stared up at him, I couldn’t stop the thought that crossed my mind, how James looked a little like Alaric. If you saw them standing side by side for the first time, you’d immediately know they were brothers, but you’d also know they were nothing alike. James was nothing like Alaric. He didn’t smile like him. His presence was colder, and while Alaric was taller and more muscular, James had that tall, slender build. But he wasn’t my Alaric. Maybe it was because this was the first time meeting him face-to-face after finding out what he had done to Alaric, but rage surged through me. My hands curled into fists as I stared at him, my gaze narrowing into a

  • Touch me, Ruin me: Daddy's pet   119|Come outside, little rose.

    Isla pov Yesterday went by slower than I would have liked but maybe it was because I couldn't do anything all day aside from pace around and try to wrap my head around what was going on, most especially at the fact that I had told Alaric about the stalker. Every time I tried to distract myself, calling Suhyeon or Esther, curling up on the sofa, watching a movie, doing something, anything to make me forget that look in his eyes when I told him. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t escape it. My thoughts were clouded with him. Alaric had always been a man who smiled at me, who made me feel as though I mattered. I was used to rumors saying he was ruthless, used to others being afraid of him and avoiding him because he was scary and unpredictable but to me, he was different. He was the one person who had always been there for me so I couldn’t really believe those rumors or others’ views about him. In fact, I thought he was kind in his own way. But yesterday, for the first time,
