CHAPTER ONE

TEXAS, USA. *****BILLY'S POV*****Standing at one corner of the grand ballroom, my eyes swept over the room, scanning for anyone who would signal for a drink and then suddenly, they landed on a man who stood far away, across from where I was. As our gazes locked, I could hear my heart racing very fast as if I had been entranced by something and for some unknown reason, the stranger whose gaze was locked with mine looked strikingly familiar. I could swear that I had seen him before, but I just couldn’t pinpoint where or how exactly.His stare was intense, almost intimidating, and yet something about it just kept pulling me in. Well, I’ll admit that he was really good-looking. No, scratch that. He was damn hot. Have you ever seen those tall guys with well chiseled bodies and faces who make every woman swoon around them? Yeah, he’s exactly like that, and my stomach twisted with discomfort as I just got the attention of someone of that kind. I wasn’t really used to being the center of an

“Apologize to her,” the stranger said, snapping me back to reality as he help me up from the ground.The older man scoffed, lowering his hand to his side. “Why should I? This clumsy girl—”“—was assaulted by you,” the stranger cut in, his piercing gray eyes freezing the man in place. “And I happened to see everything.”“What?! That’s nonsense!” the man protested, his voice faltering. “Why would I even touch someone like her? You must definitely be mistaken…Sir Lorenzo.”Lorenzo? My breath hitched. Could he be… the same Lorenzo? Lorenzo Airlines, Lorenzo Construction, Lorenzo Empire? No, it couldn’t be. The owner of the Lorenzo Empire had passed away recently. And this man seemed far too young to be his son or was he his grandson? And moreover, the Lorenzo family has no heir.I shook my head, trying to shake the thought. Then again, I remembered that I’d met someone with the Saltzmanta name a while back, and we weren’t family. Perhaps it was just a coincidence.“Am I mistaken?” Sir Lor

CHAPTER THREE

“Step out of it,” he commanded softly, his voice came low and firm, leaving no room for hesitation. Without a word, I obeyed, stepping out of the dress as though hypnotized. There was something about the way he spoke, the way he carried himself, that made me feel as if I was completely in his control and I want it just like that. I didn’t want it any other way. Standing with only my bra and pant on me, he turned me to face him and then began to gently guiding me back until I felt the edge of the bed behind me. With a soft push, I fell onto the bed and a soft gasp slipped past my lips. He loomed over me, his presence overwhelming, his gaze was like a storm of desire and lust. For a moment, he hovered over me for a few seconds, his eyes locked with mine, before he climbed up on me and his lips descended to my neck once more. This time, he didn’t stop…not until his kisses trailed down and reached my breast. There he takes his time. His mouth found my cleavage and his teeth gently bit

CHAPTER FOUR

By the time I reached the hospital and got out of the cab, I was barely breathing. I was already running off before the driver called me back, saying I hadn't paid him. I rushed back to him, threw the money at him, and then ran through the automatic doors.Entering the hospital, I scanned frantically for my sister, but there was no sight of her.Then a nurse walked past me, and I quickly grabbed her by the arm, desperation in my voice as I asked for a patient named Melanie Saltzmanter.The nurse gave me a description, and without wasting any time, I rushed to where she directed me, only to find my sister, Tiana, sitting outside the ward with her head down on her knees.As she heard approaching footsteps, she raised her tear-streaked face. When she saw me, she quickly stood up and practically collapsed in my arms.I tried to calm her down. “It’s okay. I’m here now.”She sniffled, wiping her tears.“What happened? She was fine when I left yesterday morning. She even mentioned something

CHAPTER FIVE

~~~MARCUS' POV~~~~“Marcus... wake up.”A soft but firm voice pulled me out of the darkness. My body felt heavy and my mind foggy, but the voice kept calling me.Slowly, I opened my eyes, and the first thing I saw was a pair of emerald-green eyes staring into mine.Laura.She was leaning over me with her brows drawn together in worry. Her hand was warm against my forehead, brushing away damp strands of hair.I could feel the sweat on my skin, and my shirt clung to me like a second skin. My breathing was uneven, and my heart was still racing.“Are you having a bad dream?" she asked with a voice soft but filled with concern. "You looked so scared."I blinked a few times, trying to clear my head.The dream still felt too real, like it’s currently happening—the cold water dragging me down, fear clawing at my chest as I screamed for help, and the helplessness as I struggled to breathe.But it wasn't just a dream.It was a memory that happened years ago.I forced a smile, not wanting her to

CHAPTER SIX

I didn't even know her name or anything about her but just can't get her off my head. I quickly pulled away from Laura.” Hmm, sorry.” "Why? Is there something wrong?" I stared at her for a while, feeling a mix of emotions, and my heart began to race faster. She tried to touch me, but I quickly stood up, walking to the dressing mirror. I stared at my own reflection, grabbing the edge of the table as I tried to steady myself. “Marcus, is everything alright?” Laura asked but nothing felt right now. Everywhere and everything just smells like her…like the woman I met at the party. I could still smell her sweet vanilla scent everywhere. Why am I like this? Just then, a knock came, and Jake strode in. I let out a loud sigh of relief as he seemed to be my savior. He bowed his head slightly before jokingly saying, "Am I interrupting something?" Laura stood up from the bed, smoothing down her clothes and hair. "I should go anyway," she said, her voice returning to its usual
