Reid marched into the buzzing nightlife club, where half-naked women danced wildly under a blur of blue, green, and red lights. The air was thick with sweat, smoke, and thudding bass.Two scantily clad women, drenched in sweat and wearing nothing but bras and panties, sauntered toward him as he neared the staircase leading to the VIP lounge. But one cold, dangerous look from Reid was enough to make them stumble back and scurry off without another word.“Bitches,” he muttered under his breath before taking the stairs two at a time.Upstairs, the atmosphere shifted. Gone were the pulsing neon lights and chaotic energy. The VIP floor was cloaked in a dim yellow hue, casting long shadows and giving the place a moody, almost sinister vibe. Reid could barely make out the figures lounging in the corners, sipping drinks in silence.He tilted his head toward the farthest corner, the seat no one dared occupy and immediately spotted the silhouette of his boss. The man was slouched casually in th

Several hours had slipped by like minutes. By now, more than fifteen shopping trolleys were overflowing with dresses, shoes, accessories, and everything in between.And still, Zac didn’t look the least bit satisfied.Ava, on the other hand, had practically raised a white flag. “Zac, please,” she had pleaded at some point, her arms flailing slightly, “I won’t be able to wear all these in the next five years. This is madness!”But Zac had simply waved her off, his tone calm and immovable. “Then don’t. Just look at them when you miss me.”He’d smirked, clearly unbothered. “If you’re tired, go sit. I’ll be done soon.”So, Ava did just that, slipping away to the plush lounge area of the store, casting one last amused glance over her shoulder at the man who was still roaming the aisles like he was on a mission from God.She sank into the velveteen chaise inside the changing room of the VIP suite, her back easing into the soft fabric as she exhaled. Hopefully, Zac would soon wrap up his luxu

Nevertheless, Ava offered a soft smile and bowed her head slightly in a silent gesture of apology.“I’m really sorry, sir. My car acted up on the way here,” she lied, lips curling into a faint, polite smile.It wasn’t like she could tell him the truth that her boyfriend had delayed her for nearly an hour trying to find an oversized skirt she didn’t even own.“Your office is right next to mine,” the manager said coolly, eyes already shifting back to the computer screen. “You’ll meet your seniors there, they’ll guide you through the orientation.”“Thank you, sir,” Ava replied quietly before turning to leave.Once outside the office, she let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding. She paused briefly in front of the next door, knocked gently, then pushed it open and stepped inside.Inside the spacious office, five desks were neatly arranged, each occupied except for one. The vacant seat and table at the far end of the room were unmistakably meant for Ava.She glanced around, tak

A few of the staff were just about to exit the building when they caught sight of him through the transparent sliding doors. Instinctively, they rushed back inside.At that moment, he strode into the lobby, flanked on both sides by a team of bodyguards. He wore a perfectly tailored suit that accentuated his tall, commanding frame.He was lean but broad-shouldered. His waist was narrow, with not a hint of flab, and his figure flowed seamlessly into long, defined legs. His posture was poised and straight, as if in harmony with the clean architectural lines and the glow of the ceiling lights above.There was a quiet elegance to him, refined, yet with an air of defiance. His most irresistible qualities were not just his wealth and power, but the way he wore them; with effortless charm and undeniable presence.While nearly all the women present were swooning, covering their faces, gasping, some were even on the verge of tears as though in the presence of a beloved celebrity. Ava, on the o

The following day, the early morning sun poured through the windows, casting soft shadows across the quiet office. Ava sat alone at her desk, the only person in the room, her phone held to her ear and a grin stretching wide across her face. She looked completely at ease, her eyes bright with affection as she spoke.She had made a promise to her man the day before that she would call him the moment she stepped into the office, before beginning any task. And just as she had promised, she was keeping her word.“I’m missing you badly already, Jamal,” she said in a playful tone, lips pouted slightly as she swayed gently from side to side in her seat.Zachary Gonzalez’s deep, hoarse voice responded the moment Ava’s words landed.“I feel like coming over, kidnapping you, and locking you up with me forever, Tinkerbell.”A shiver ran down her spine, followed by a wave of warmth that spread through her chest. His words wrapped around her like a cozy blanket, and she couldn’t stop the smile tugg
