JOYCE'S POV"Mommy yaay!" he chirped. "When are you coming home? I miss you already" Rafael pouted. On a normal day, his adorable voice would have melted my heart but this was not a normal day and the situation right now didn't permit it. I thought of how to quickly pacify my demanding son and end the call.Fortunately for me, his nanny came and took the phone from him while giving me an apologetic look."I'm sorry," she mouthed in haste and hung up. I let out a deep breath. I definitely wasn't expecting that. He was going to get an earful from me tonight.My heart thudded when I saw the contortion on Adrian's face. Did he see Rafael? I had managed to create some distance between us however I could not be certain if he did."I'm really sorry for the interruption" I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper, waiting for him to lash out or scold me but his expression remained the same. "I know that was rude and it won't happen again"Still nothing. I took that as a sign he didn't want

JOYCE'S POVI was terrified by the way he handled the situation. When he called me, I knew I was in big trouble."Did you have it in mind to cause trouble on your first day at work?" He scolded me with an accusing tone. "You've committed two offenses in a day and the day isn't done yet. He took a few steps towards me and my pulse quickened. His 6" plus frame loomed over me like a giant intimidating mountain.""How do you want me to punish you?"I blinked in disbelief. Why would he ask me how I wanted my punishment? this was utterly insane. I wanted to ask him what he meant by that but I kept quiet.He ignored my silence and continued, his voice belittling, "You just got yourself a new task to see to. I thought leaving you to familiarize yourself with the working environment was a good idea but I guess not. Still no response from me. How could I when his being so close made me speechless? His perfume mixed with his musky aftershave tickled my senses. it intoxicated me."Well," he cont

Joyce's POVMy heart was drumming hard against my chest as our eyes locked. Without saying anything, Adrian focused on his meal and took a bite.“Erm.. Mr. Ortega.. I need_”“It's fine. You can go” he interjected without looking up, which surprised me. I thought I had heard wrong. I hadn't even gotten the chance to complete my request.“Sir, I’m so sorry,” I said apologetically. “My son’s babysitter called to inform me he is unwell. I know I shouldn't be doing this on my first day at work but I’ve never heard her sounding this flustered before and_”“And I said it's fine!” He cut me off. “Just keep in mind that I'll deduct a certain amount from your salary if you don't make it to work tomorrow morning before I do and complete the task assigned to you.”My jaw dropped, “Huh... Sir? Don't you understand? My son_”He raised his head and glared hard at me, “I'm not deaf and stupid. I heard you and I'm certain you understood me too. You can leave.”Stupid! I wanted to curse at him but I he

Natalia's POV "We can't talk like this," I said seductively while swinging my hips as I walked towards him. I tried squeezing my nose to stop inhaling the dense smoke into my lungs. Half-naked women were everywhere I could not even find a place to sit. This is totally disgusting. Madrileno's lustful gaze was on me as he caressed the almost naked lady sitting on his lap. He must have thought this would arouse me or make me jealous but honestly, I didn't give a damn. It made me want to gag. After a while, he raised his hand and the ladies scrambled out of the room, leaving only the guards behind. I stumbled when he stood up and walked up to me. His 6ft 4 inch muscular build towered above me. He moved with a predatory grace, like a lion stalking his prey which exudes an air of silent menace. His pupils dilate, and his gaze becomes darker, more primal—focused entirely on me. His eyelids lower slightly, enhancing his predatory look—hungry, focused, and apologetically dominant. His gaze

Natalia's POVThe door creaked open and I tiptoed into the house, trying my best not to make any sound. I couldn't believe I had slept at Madrileno's den for that long. Not only that, I had sex with him!!! Unbelievable.A conflict of emotion was running through my head. I cannot deny it was good. I have not felt this much alive and satisfied for long. But Madrileno? Of all people? I prayed silently as I quietly made my way to my room. Just then, a figure appeared before me which caused me to stop on the spot.I could feel the blood drain from my face when I saw Gabriel standing right in front of me with a grim expression on his face."Where are you coming from?" His thunderous voice reverberated through the silent room, further increasing the tension in the atmosphere.“Gabriel…,” I barely uttered.My heart lurched as my stomach twisted into knots. My gaze drops to his hand and I notice he’s holding a knife. A cold, gleaming blade, just sitting there in his hand.I suddenly freeze. Fo
