ETHAN’S POV

The sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my study felt like an interrogation. I stepped into the room, my head thumping with the rhythmic remains of the scotch, but it wasn’t the hangover that made me feel disorganized. It was the air that still smelled like her, that maddening scent of vanilla and defiance.

I moved frantically, my usual composure stripped away. "Where is it?" I hissed to the empty room, tossing papers aside on my desk.

The locket was the only

    The hot water gushed over my shoulders, but it couldn't wash away the stinging clarity that settled over me. I stood frozen under the stream, watching the remnants of his release swirl down the drain, rinsing off my skin until every physical trace of him was gone. I bathed properly this time, scrubbing my body with a mechanical numbness before turning off the valve and stepping out of the glass enclosure.Wrapping a plush white towel tightly around my chest, I walked out into the bedroom, feeling a heavy, suffocating wave of defeat wash over me.But as the initial shock faded, my mind began to click into place. Ethan didn’t just turn feral out of nowhere. He had crossed every boundary, dropping his untouchable CEO mask to become something primal and vicious, because he felt threatened. The ring, could it be a secret I had almost uncovered? Or what is it that had shaken him to his core? Something definitely has to be his weakness, I thought, staring blankly at the dark corners of the r

  • VENGEANCE IN HIS BED   Chapter 32

    The silence in the mansion felt so heavy, pressing against my eardrums the moment I stepped out of my room. With Beatrice gone, the house had lost its only layer of warmth. The grand hallways felt longer, the shadows deeper, and the air carried a sharp, sterile chill that made me pull my sweater tighter around my body. There was no distant sound of her laughter, no gentle scent of roses lingering in the air. It was just a massive, hollow fortress of marble and dark wood, and I was trapped inside it with a tyrant.Leo was still sound asleep upstairs, completely wiped out from the morning, so I used the quiet to slip down to the kitchen. My body was still incredibly sore, every step a dull reminder of how ruthlessly Ethan had possessed me the night before. I needed something to properly wake me up, to clear the fog of frustration and lingering heat out of my head.I stood by the marble island, the low hum of the espresso machine the only sound breaking the stillness as a dark stream of

    When I opened my eyes, the reality of the night before hit me with the weight of a physical blow. The master suite was bathed in a pale, freezing morning light, and the other side of the massive bed was completely empty. Ethan was gone.I sat up slowly, a sharp, dull ache between my thighs making me wince. My body felt incredibly sore, a lingering testament to the ruthless way he had claimed me after I touched what didn't belong to me. My joints felt heavy, and every muscle pleaded with me to sink back into the pillows and close my eyes. But the fog in my mind cleared the moment I remembered Leo. He was sleeping in my room, and I needed to check on him.I glanced at the nightstand, the space where the diamond ring had been was bare. He had hidden it away, burying his secrets back into the dark.Sighing, I swung my legs over the edge of the bed. I gathered my crumpled pajamas from the floor, pulling the soft fabric over my aching limbs like a shield. Slipping out of his room, I made my

    The kitchen was a graveyard of crumbling pride as Holloway scrambled forward, her robe fluttering like a broken wing as she reached for Ethan’s arm, her voice a desperate, frantic trill. "Mr Vale, please, I’m…"He didn't let her finish, he just cut her off with a single, icy look of pure revulsion that seemed to physically push her back. Without a word, he grabbed the bowl of fruit and the pitcher, shoving the freshly made drink down the sink with a violent splash. He turned on his heel and strode out of the kitchen, his silhouette radiating a cold, lethal fury that left the room feeling sub-zero.Holloway stood trembling, her face a mask of ashen humiliation, before her gaze snapped to mine. I stood there, arms crossed, staring at her with a look that was less pity and more mockery."You are absolutely shameless," I said, my voice cutting through the hum of the refrigerator. "To be this obsessed with your boss... I was right about you all along. What’s the matter? Is the groundskeepe

  • VENGEANCE IN HIS BED   Chapter 29

    I locked the door to my en suite, the silence of the room finally allowing the adrenaline to crash. My body felt like it didn't belong to me anymore. I stepped into the shower, the cool water a sharp contrast to the fire still humming beneath my skin. My clit felt swollen and sensitive, a pulsing reminder of his ruthlessness. I splashed water over myself, tapping the tender skin lightly, trying to wash away the phantom sensation of his mouth and the weight of his body.Afterwards, I dressed quickly in a pair of gray sweatpants and a cropped, faded t-shirt, anything to feel less like the woman he had just unraveled.When I finally made it downstairs, Beatrice and Leo were almost finished. The dining room felt too bright, the domesticity of the scene mocking the chaos I had just come from."Claire, dear, what kept you upstairs so long?" Beatrice asked, her eyes searching mine as I pulled out a chair."I just... I needed to rest for a bit," I murmured, staring at the empty plate in front

  • VENGEANCE IN HIS BED   Chapter 28

    The kiss was a collision of everything we had been suppressing, the tension from the office, the violation of his diary, and the adrenaline from the paparazzi’s flashing lights. It was desperate and bruising, a silent conversation where he claimed every inch of my breath. The world outside the tinted windows ceased to exist until the sharp thud of the driver’s door and the rustle of him sliding into the front seat broke the spell.We tore apart instantly. I scrambled back toward my side of the SUV, my chest heaving as I adjusted my clothes with trembling fingers, while Ethan smoothed his charcoal blazer and layed back comfortably. We sat in a stifling, rigid silence, the only sound the click of our seatbelts fastening as the engine roared to life.The paparazzi hadn’t caught the kiss, but as we sped away, Ethan’s phone began to vibrate incessantly on the leather console. I stretched my neck, peering over to see the screen. It was already everywhere. The top headline read; "ETHAN VALE’
