All Chapters of Executive Seduction : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

One week earlier… Harper's heart sank the moment Asia leaned forward, her lips curving into a smirk that spelled trouble. "I'll give you a raise—ten times what he's paying you," Asia said, her arms crossed as she studied Harper like a hunter cornering its prey. Harper’s jaw nearly hit the floor. "Ten times?" she stammered, fumbling for her phone to calculate. The number stared back at her, ridiculous and tempting. $8,000,000! "If you can make him fall in love in sixty days." Harper’s laughter was sharp and incredulous. "You’re insane. Sixty days? That’s like two months. He's not even dating anyone right now!" She shot Asia an exasperated look. "Do you even know your brother? The guy’s a walking disaster when it comes to relationships. Women orbit him, but he never lets anyone close. And you want me to turn that into love?" "Exactly," Asia said, sliding an envelope across the table. "That’s why I’m hiring you. You know him better than anyone. You’ve been his assistant for two

Eros watched her approach, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. Harper looked different, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why. It had only been a few months since he'd last seen her, but something about her presence felt unfamiliar today. Was it the way her hair flowed freely past her shoulders instead of being pulled up in a tight bun? Or perhaps it was the nervous energy in the air as she walked toward him? Whatever it was, it piqued his interest.She wasn’t the type of woman he usually entertained—too simple, too reserved—but that was exactly why she might just work for his plan. All he needed was someone to play the part of his fiancée for a year, to fool his parents and the board, to win the company for himself. He didn't have time for anything more. A quick contract, a few public displays of affection, and then it would all be over. “Harper.” The name slipped from his lips as she finally reached the table, her nervousness radiating off her in waves. “You’re late.”

Harper was dumbstruck as the woman gloriously descended the stairs. Beautiful was a understatement. Her long wavy black hair flowed smooth, accentuating her small face. Even under the lights, her skin glowed. Her dropping diamond earrings listened under the lights, sparkling directly in your eyes if you stared at them too long. “I didn't know you were around.” she cooed softly, walking past Harper. Eros tucked his hands in his pockets, giving her a handshake instead as she wanted to hug him and walked towards Harper. “Meet my fiancé, Harper.” he held her hand in his. Harper swallowed hard. The woman standing in front of her was no ordinary person - it was Elena Darros, the daughter of Darros Pharmaceuticals, one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Elena looked at Harper in surprise mixed with contempt. It was like she immediately accessed her from head to toe. “Fiancé?” She asked, folding her arms in amusement. “and when was…this?”Harper was about to reply whe

Harper's phone rang once, twice, third time till she finally picked up. Answering half-awake and groggy, Eros' voice jolted her awake. "We're you dead before?" sarcasm plastered in his tone. "It's not work day so - what's up?" Harper asked, laying on her back. "We have to be somewhere together. I'll pick you up in an hour." "You -" The call ended before she could finish her protest. Harper threw her legs angrily on the bed, turning to the sides till she rolled off to the ground. "Fuck you Eros!" she cussed and got up, yawning and dragging herself to the bathroom. She didn't think he ever rested. How could someone be so active all the time? She doubted her ever slept and even if he did, he was still active. Harper looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her short hair rough like she had just been electrocuted. She took her toothbrush and began brushing her teeth, while texting Rain who just announced she was going on her third date that week and that was why she left the

The sun was beginning to set as Harper waved goodbye to Adeline, who stood at the entrance of the boutique, grinning like the cat that ate the canary. “Take care of her, Eros,” Adeline called out, her voice teasing. “She’s a treasure. And don’t forget, Harper, if he annoys you too much, call me. I’ll deal with him.”Harper laughed, adjusting the numerous shopping bags dangling from her arms. “Thanks, Adeline. I might just take you up on that.”“Oh, and these are for you.” Adeline handed her two sleek, ribbon-wrapped boxes. “A little wedding gift from me. Don’t open them until you’re home.”“Thank you,” Harper said, smiling warmly despite the growing ache in her arms. The bags were starting to feel like they weighed a ton.Eros, of course, was already walking ahead, his hands casually tucked into his pockets as if he hadn’t just spent a small fortune on her wardrobe. Harper glared at his retreating back, muttering under her breath, “Must be nice to have no sense of guilt.”She took a f
