The morning light felt like a physical assault, I woke up with the phantom weight of what had happened last night. Every muscle in my body ached with the memory of him, the way he had claimed me in the back of that limousine as if I were something he owned and how I had touched myself wishing it was him instead.

I looked at the midnight-blue dress slumped in the corner. Last night, it had felt like a dream, now, it looked like a shroud.

To him, it was just sex. A physical release and a billion

  • VENGEANCE IN HIS BED   Chapter 112

    After sitting quietly for a few minutes to let the calm of the house wash over me, I reached into my bag, pulled out my phone, and immediately dialed Ethan’s number.The line rang twice before a deep, familiar voice answered on the other end."Hi, baby," I murmured softly, a sudden wave of warmth washing over me just hearing his voice."Hey, gorgeous," he replied instantly, a soft sigh of relief audibly escaping his lips. "You made it there safe? Everything looks good?""We made it," I smiled, leaning back against the plush cushions of the couch. "And Ethan, this place is breathtaking. It's so quiet, beautifully decorated, and I checked the kitchen, it's completely stocked with everything anyone could ever need. Thank you.""Of course," he said, his tone softening. "I told you, I wanted you and Leo to be entirely comfortable. How is he holding up?""He's already explored half the living room and thinks he's in a luxury hotel," I laughed softly.A heavy, poignant silence settled betwee

    The next day came, followed by the next and the next. The calendar pages kept turning swiftly, sliding us two weeks deep into a rhythm that felt entirely transformed. Each day bringing a much more profound and beautiful shift to life within the estate. The romance between Ethan and me blossomed into something deeply intentional, built on quiet conversations, stolen touches in the hallways, and an unspoken, rock-solid trust.His bond with Leo grew exponentially as well. Between building towering Lego sets in the evenings and spending hours shooting hoops on the newly installed basketball court, he had officially become Leo’s absolute hero and best friend. Yet, beneath the domestic warmth, our clandestine operation continued without a hitch. Every single day, Ethan and I meticulously staged and recorded the required poisoning videos using the old white mug, keeping the anonymous contractor entirely convinced that his plan was moving forward. Despite exhaustive efforts from Ethan's secu

    The sports car glided off the main boulevard and slipped into a discrete, underground valet ramp tucked beneath a striking architectural masterpiece in the heart of the city. The building itself was a stunning tower of dark tinted glass and brushed steel, rising sharply into the clear afternoon sky.Ethan killed the engine, hopped out of the driver's seat, and jogged around to our side. He opened my door first, offering a warm hand to help me out, before leaning down to unbuckle Leo and hoist the little boy out into the fresh air with effortless ease. Instead of setting Leo straight down, Ethan kept one arm securely slung around Leo’s shoulders and reached out with his other hand, tangling his fingers comfortably with mine. Holding us both close by his side, he walked us toward a private, glass-paneled elevator reserved for high-profile guests.Moments later, the private elevator chimed softly, doors sliding open to reveal the crown jewel of the establishment, a sprawling, secluded ro

    I hurried back upstairs, slipping quietly into my room to check on Leo. When I pushed the door open, I found him already awake, lying flat on his back and staring blankly up at the ceiling.He blinked and looked over as I walked in. "Good morning, mommy.""Good morning, sweetheart," I said, walking up to the edge of the mattress. I tilted my head, studying his expression. "How did you sleep? Are you alright?""I'm fine," he replied quickly, though his tone was unusually quiet and subdued.I sat down on the edge of the bed, reaching out to gently touch his arm. "Leo. Come on. You're acting a bit cold this morning. Talk to me. What's wrong?"A faint, self-aware smile touched his lips. "It's nothing really. Just that when I woke up and you weren't here in the room, I started thinking.""Thinking about what?" I asked softly, my heart squeezing."About Aunt Beatrice," he murmured, his small fingers tracing the edge of his blanket. "She is such a nice person and she treats us like actual fa

    My phone alarm chimed softly at 6:45 AM, pulling me gently from a deep, warm sleep. I blinked against the morning light filtering through the curtains and glanced over at the other side of the bed. Leo was still curled up tightly under the covers, breathing evenly and fast asleep.Quietly slipping out from under the blankets, I tiptoed into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. As I dried my face with a soft hand towel, my phone buzzed sharply against the vanity counter.I picked it up, unlocking the screen to find a new notification from Ethan. I opened the message and blinked in surprise as I read the lengthy text;“Good morning, my gorgeous Claire. I’ve been sitting here since the sun came up, staring at the empty space beside me and wishing I could wake you up with my lips against yours. Last night’s texts nearly drove me completely out of my mind, and all I can think about this morning is the sound of your voice and the feel of your skin under my hands. You have comple

    Dinner that evening started out like any other peaceful family meal, with quiet clinking silverware and soft conversation filling the dining room. But halfway through our meal, the double doors swung open gently, and one of the senior housemaids stepped inside, holding a neatly wrapped delivery box with both hands."Pardon the interruption, Mr. Vale," she said politely, walking over to the table. "A courier just dropped off a priority package at the front gates. It's addressed to little Leo from Aunt Beatrice."My head snapped up instantly. I cast a quick, sideways glance at Ethan. He met my gaze, a smooth, knowing smile touching his lips as he gave me a subtle nod, letting me know he had already worked his magic behind the scenes.Leo stopped mid-bite, his eyes widening as he stared at the package. His mouth twitched, itching to blurt out a dozen questions about what exactly Granny Beatrice had sent for him, but he caught himself, keeping his lips tightly sealed. Ethan and I couldn't

    The next day was a blur of ancient ledgers and forced focus. I avoided the main house, terrified that if I saw Ethan, he would clearly see what was written across my face. But Ethan Vale wasn't a man you could avoid. He was the sun of this dark solar system, and I was just a planet caught in his gr

    I reached for my phone on the nightstand, the screen’s harsh glare cutting through the darkness like a blade. 5:14 AM.I let out a long, shaky breath, knowing sleep was a lost cause. My skin still felt sensitized, the phantom weight of Ethan’s hands from the dream making the silk of my nightgown fe

    I caught my breath and practically sprinted back to our quarters in the sub-level, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs. As soon as the door clicked shut, I dove for the dresser. I grabbed the file I had stolen, shoving it to the very bottom of the drawer, and heaped a mountain of my

    The rising sun made the grey stone look colder in the vale estate. I woke up at 7:00 AM, my heart already racing before my eyes even opened. For a split second, I forgot where I was. Then, the smell hit me, expensive floor wax and the faint, bitter scent of old paper. I wasn't in our cramped, one-
