His Sworn Enemy; His Deepest Desire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

WilliamTristan Richmond.His name alone was enough to light a firestorm of memories—each one more infuriating than the last. I stared at him, disbelief warring with the deep-seated anger that surged through me like poison.Of all the people to run into, of all the places in the world, why did it have to be him?He was Caleb's older brother, and my sworn freaking enemy.Back in college when my relationship with Caleb was still new and fresh, I met him for the holidays the first time i stayed over. As Caleb's older brother I hoped he would give approval for our relationship. I treated him nicely, constantly trying to impress him and get on his good side and become his friend.All I got in return was coldness. He dismissed my attempts at friendship harshly and i* ores me otherwise, never failing to remind me of how much he disapproved of our relationship.At first I was confused constantly wondering what I had to do right but It was the intense stares he would give whenever he saw us tog

WilliamDays passed, and I was riding a high unlike anything I’d felt in months.Over the course of a week, I had poured nearly all of my money into securing this deal… every last cent. Each day was spent impressing Terra Corporation’s executives, building rapport with their staff, and gifting everything from personalized trinkets to extravagant tokens. It didn’t matter what it cost me; every move I made was strategic, each expense an investment. I was sure my dedication was making waves, my name echoing in all the right ears.But the pièce de résistance, the boldest move yet? A luxurious cruise party.I stepped onto the ship that evening, the sun dipping low over the horizon as music and laughter swirled through the air. I had spared no expense, the cruise lined with fine dining, champagne fountains and live music was a perfect blend of relaxation and charm. I greeted my guests warmly, soaking in their praise as they laughed and complimented my efforts.“This party is spectacular, Mr.

TristianThe tension in the air hung heavy as I tucked the moist handkerchief into my breast pocket, my mind still reeling from the mess of emotions that had unraveled in mere minutes. Trying to anchor myself, I pulled out a business card from my wallet and held it out toward him."Here" I said, stretching my arm out.William’s glassy eyes flickered with confusion, hesitation battling with anger. His expression was a cocktail of emotions, none of them simple. He didn’t take the card, his reluctance almost tangible.Knowing how stubborn and drunk he was I moved closer with caution, my muscles tense, ready for resistance. He flinched as I slid the card into his pocket, but he didn’t stop me. He seemed too disoriented, too lost in his haze of alcohol and emotions.“Look, I mean you no harm” I said softly, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside. “I... I’m worried because I care about you. I just want to talk.”He blinked, confusion shadowing his anger.“9 a.m. tomorrow. I’ll be expecti

WilliamsI made my way to Tristan’s office, my emotions tangled into an indecipherable knot. On one hand, the rare warmth of my father’s praise still lingered from our earlier conversation—a kind of validation I hadn’t realized I craved. Hearing his genuine pride in my supposed achievement felt like a balm, soothing wounds I didn’t know existed. But on the other hand, unease clawed at the edges of my mind.Tristan Richmond wasn’t the kind of man to hand out favors without strings attached. If he’d done something as monumental as securing the Terra Corporation deal and crediting me for it, there had to be an angle, a hidden trap that would serve his amusement or his agenda. And I couldn’t shake the feeling that walking into his office might be stepping right into it.As I approached the front desk, Tristan’s secretary, Alexa, looked up from her sleek computer. Everything about her screamed precision, from her perfectly polished nails to the sharpness in her gaze."Good morning, Mr. Brac

TristanSeveral days had passed since the most embarrassing moment of my entire life. I have done everything humanly possible to push it out of my mind, but the memory of William walking in on Adrian sucking my dick still lingered, very vivid and also very uncomfortable. But strangely, neither Adrian nor William had said not even one word about it. No rumors and no awkward encounters also no confrontations. It was as if nothing had even happened at all , and honestly, I was grateful for that. The last thing I want is a rumor spreading about a junior male staff member giving me a blow job. It’s quite sad he couldn't finish up tho, all thanks to Mr Bad Timing Bracknoff.Although, the unease wouldn’t completely let go of my mind. Trusting people with secrets or in this case, scandals, especially the kind that could change how others saw you, was never something I was a big fan of. But in this case, I clearly have no choice. I’m just gonna have to trust that Willians is truly gonna stick t
