The mansion buzzes with an energy it hasn't possessed since my arrival.

Florists swarm the entryway, their arms laden with white orchids and deep red roses. Caterers confer with Luciana in urgent tones. Electricians are rigging extra lighting in the ballroom.

Dominik's charity gala, repurposed from a civic duty into a declaration of his undiminished power, is in full swing, and I, apparently, am part of the command staff.

He involves me in everything. Not in the planning of the menu or the music, those details are handled with his usual ruthless efficiency by unseen forces, but in the contracts. The vendor agreements, the insurance riders, the security protocols. He has me reviewing line items, cross-referencing costs, ostensibly using my business degree for its intended purpose.

  • Unholy Matrimony   Chapter 51 – The Strategist

    DominikI watch Eve sleep, her body a tangle of limbs and dark hair against the ivory satin sheets. She’s completely still. Knocked out by the exhaustion that follows intense pleasure. Last night was… illuminating. Rewarding her competence with focused, unadulterated worship yielded a surrender more profound than anything I could have devised. She didn't just break, she dissolved.The marks of my mouth are still visible on her throat and breasts. Faint purple shadows against her pale skin. Her lips are swollen, slightly parted, her breathing slow and even. She looks utterly ravaged. As she was.I’m having trouble comprehending my current state of mind. I didn’t take my own pleasure. My cock is still as hard as fortified steel this morning, but somehow I felt more than content with the knowledge that I made her feel the kind of hedonistic gratification no other man ever could. I’m the only one who can make her body detonate euphorically.There’s no need for me to psycho-analyze myself

  • Unholy Matrimony   Chapter 50 – The Reward

    EveHe’s been watching me since we returned from the tower, his stormy gaze unreadable. He hasn't touched me, hasn't demanded anything. He just observes, letting the anticipation coil tighter and tighter in my belly. The air crackles with unspoken promises, with the knowledge that the ‘reward’ he mentioned is inevitable. My body, already humming from the residual tension of the loyalty test, aches with a familiar, demanding need.Finally, he rises from the armchair where he’s been nursing a scotch. He sets the crystal tumbler down with a soft click and walks toward me. My pulse leaps, a frantic bird against my ribs.“Come here, Eve,” he says, his voice a low, intimate command.I obey, rising on unsteady legs, the silk robe I changed into whispering around my ankles. I stop in front of him, forcing myself to meet his gaze.His eyes roam over me, a slow, deliberate assessment that feels like a physical touch. “You impressed me today,” he murmurs, his hand coming up to trace the line o

  • Unholy Matrimony   Chapter 49 – Testing Loyalty

    DominikEve’s integration into the tower environment is proceeding ahead of schedule. Stefano reports that she absorbs information like a sponge, her questions are sharp, her grasp of the complex financial structures disturbingly quick. She’s already identified several inefficiencies in the tertiary real estate portfolio and proposed solutions that are both sound and, dare I say, slightly ruthless. I’m impressed.She doesn't just want to meet the five percent revenue increase target, she seems determined to obliterate it.It's precisely the kind of focused, ambitious energy I hoped to cultivate. Binding her intelligence to the success of my legitimate enterprises is proving an effective containment strategy. She spends hours immersed in ledgers and projections, her brow furrowed in concentration, the defiant fire in her eyes channeled into deciphering market trends instead of plotting escape routes.Of course, I know she hasn’t entirely abandoned her little spy games. Enzo’s discre

  • Unholy Matrimony   Chapter 48 – Calculations

    EveThe encrypted laptop feels heavier than it should. A sleek black portal into the legitimate face of Dominik’s empire. He called it an apprenticeship, a way for me to prove my worth beyond the bedroom. I call it Phase Two of my infiltration. He thinks he’s binding me closer by giving me responsibility. He’s just handing me a sharper knife.Stefano spent the first hour walking me through the system with polite, professional detachment. His eyes, the color of faded denim, missed nothing. He explained the tiered access, the reporting structures, the performance metrics for the real estate portfolio. Hotels in Monaco, commercial towers in London, sprawling, undeveloped beachfront property in Costa Rica. It’s a vast, complex web of assets, all managed with the same ruthless efficiency as Dominik’s less savory ventures.Stefano was courteous, and he answered my questions thoroughly, but there was an underlying current of assessment, of subtle warning. ‘Don’t waste his time. Don’t step

  • Unholy Matrimony   Chapter 47 – Increased Responsibility

    DominikReturning to New York feels like re-engaging gears after cruising in neutral. The island was a necessary interlude, a controlled environment for reprogramming and conception. It served its purpose. Eve is softer, her body pliant and responsive, marked by my possession in ways both visible and intimate. The defiance still flickers, but it’s banked, overshadowed by the undeniable physical bond we forged. And she carries my heir. I feel it with absolute certainty, a powerful instinct that overrides any lingering doubt about those fucking pills. The sheer volume and frequency of our encounters must have overwhelmed whatever pathetic chemical barrier she erected.But an empire isn't sustained by bedroom victories alone. I need to bind her to my world not just through sex and fear, but through purpose. My purpose. Giving her a stake, however controlled, in the legitimate side of the enterprise is the next logical step.Perhaps thinking that she should share my throne is too aspi
