LOGINLush’s POVI leaned in, my eyes blinking against the sudden bright light of the screen. The display was filled with lines of complicated text, numbers, and digital codes. It looked like gibberish to me, but Damian pointed his thumb toward a specific line of code at the top of the file."This is the digital footprint from the original media leak," Damian explained, his voice urgent. "The financial news outlet received the penthouse photos and the island photos through an encrypted email drop. But every digital file has a tracking tag hidden inside it. It’s called metadata."He swiped his finger across the screen, zooming in on a long string of numbers."Look at the routing address," Damian whispered. "It doesn't come from my mother’s personal computer. It doesn't come from an outside hacker. This specific digital tag belongs to the main mainframe terminal on the top floor of the Voss Industries corporate tower downtown. The leaks are coming directly from inside the corporate servers, L
Lush’s POVI slipped out from under the charcoal silk sheets. My bare feet made no sound against the cold tiles. I didn't wear the silver silk robe this time; I just wore a simple, dark cotton nightshirt that hung loose around my frame. I walked over to the bedroom door and opened it just a tiny crack, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird.The hallway was dark. Viktor was not there. He had shifted his position to the lower level to check the courtyard gates during the midnight guard rotation. This was my only chance.I slipped through the opening and glided down the long marble hallway. Every shadow looked like a monster reaching out for me. My breath came in short, shallow gasps. I reached the double doors of Alexander’s private study and turned the brass handle. It was unlocked. Alexander never locked his office door inside the mansion because he believed his outer walls were impenetrable.I stepped inside the dark room, closing the door behind me until it clicked
Lush’s POVAlexander was already gone. He had left for the corporate tower before the dawn came up, leaving Viktor to stand guard outside my door like a statue. The house was completely silent, but the air felt heavy, like the sky right before a massive storm hits.At noon, the black tablet on the bedside table buzzed. Alexander had cleared this specific device so I could see the public news, but I could not send messages or make calls. I picked it up with shaking hands. The screen flashed with a breaking news alert from the biggest financial network in the country.Evelyn Voss had finally made her move.She had not chosen a trashy tabloid or a gossip blog. She had released a formal, calculated public statement directly to the business press. A high-resolution picture of her sat at the top of the article. She looked perfect, elegant, and completely cold in a tailored navy blue suit, her blonde hair pulled back in a neat bun. She looked like the corporate queen she had always been duri
Lush’s POVI stood up slowly, keeping my distance from him."Alexander," I started, my voice small and trembling. "Can we talk about the photos? The ones from the island."He took a slow sip of his drink, his back still turned to me. "I told you, Lush. My team is auditing everyone. The situation is under control. You do not need to worry about it.""But what if the audit isn't enough?" I pressed, taking a step closer, my heart pounding against my ribs. "What if the person who did it is someone very close to you? Someone who already has the codes to this house? Damian came to the conservatory today. He said his mother doesn't have those codes. He said someone inside Voss Industries is doing this to you."The moment the name *Damian* left my lips, the entire mood in the room changed. The air became heavy and suffocating. Alexander didn't move for a long three seconds. Then, he set his glass down on the marble counter with a sharp, heavy clink that made me gasp. He turned around slowly,
Lush’s POVAfter a long, tense silence, a crackle came through his earpiece. Alexander must have given the order from his board meeting downtown. Viktor looked at me with cold eyes, bowed his head slightly, and walked out of the conservatory. He stood just outside the glass door, watching us like a hawk.I pulled my thin cardigan tightly around my body. My heart was pounding hard against my ribs. The bruise on my thigh from Alexander’s corporate seal felt hot and tight."What are you doing here, Damian?" I whispered, my voice shaking. "You shouldn't be here. If Alexander finds out—""If my father finds out, what will he do?" Damian laughed, a sharp, ugly sound that echoed off the glass walls. He walked toward me slowly, circling the iron bench like a predator. "Lock me in a room? Tie me up? No, he only does that to you, doesn't he?"He stopped right in front of me, leaning down so his face was inches from mine. I could smell the alcohol and cigarette smoke on his breath. He looked dow
Lush’s POVHe stood up, his massive frame blocking out the light from the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him. But he didn't walk toward me to offer comfort. He didn't pull me into his chest to tell me the nightmare was over. Instead, he reached for a heavy black intercom button on his desk."Bring him in," Alexander commanded.The study door behind me opened immediately, forcing me to step aside as a towering, broad-shouldered man in a tailored charcoal suit entered the room. His hair was cropped close to his skull, his face an expressionless mask of sharp angles and a jagged scar that ran from the corner of his left eye down to his jawline. His hands were clasped loosely in front of his belt, his eyes scanning the room with the practiced, detached precision of a machine."Lush, this is Viktor," Alexander said, his voice flat, devoid of any warmth. "He is a former tactical operator with the elite state intelligence service. Moving forward, he is your shadow. He doesn't answer to the
Lush’s POVThe morning after that rough night, I woke up in my own bed, body still aching from Alexander's touch. My ass felt tender from his thrusts, a reminder of how he claimed every part of me. I stretched slowly, feeling the pull in my muscles. His cum had dried on my thighs, sticky and real.
Lush’s POVThe next morning, I packed a small bag with just a few clothes. My hands shook a little as I zipped it up. Alexander's text from last night still glowed in my mind. His jet. I had no idea where we were going, but it didn't matter. I just wanted him. His commands. His cock. I slipped on a
Lush’s POVDays blurred into a haze of want and secret texts. Alexander had me hooked, and he knew it. His commands came at random times, pulling me from work or sleep. "Hotel. Now. No panties." I'd rush out the door, heart racing, pussy already wet from the thought of him. His arrogance drove me w
Lush’s POVThe next morning, I woke up with my body still buzzing from last night. My pussy felt tender from all the touching I did to myself after Alexander left me hanging in that hallway. I checked my phone right away. No new texts. But I knew one was coming. He had me waiting, and that made the
