All Chapters of The Boss's Seduction: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The man devouring my body right now was Dominic Chase—CEO of Stratus Aerospace Corporation.And the reason I ended up in his bed? I had my pathetic excuse for a husband to "thank" for that.In Eastbridge City, Dominic was a power player in both the light and the shadows. Rumor had it he had a thing for women outside the usual social circles—respectable wives, not the industry's playthings.He had a taste for raw, marinated food and a bedroom appetite that was anything but restrained.A few years back, a dancer nearly bled out after a night with him. She was rushed to the hospital and needed multiple blood transfusions to survive. Later, one of the hilltop villas in Eastbridge was quietly transferred to her name. People joked that if one night of passion could earn you a luxury villa, then maybe it was worth the blood loss.Now, the refined and gentlemanly Dominic Chase from daylight hours had vanished. In his place was something feral, a beast tearing me apart, bone from bone.Th

By the time Dominic's desire had finally subsided, it was deep into the night. Dominic emerged from the bathroom, seated himself on the couch, and casually lit a cigarette. The wisps of smoke danced around his sharp, handsome features. I stared, lost in thought, until his next words snapped me back."Get a divorce."I blinked in disbelief.Noting my stunned expression, he crushed out his cigarette and adopted an air of authority. "It's going to happen eventually, one way or another."Why was he so certain? To him, I was just a thrill—a disposable companion. My life with Eric was meant to be lasting. Did Dominic really expect to play house?He cut through my thoughts with disdain. "Stop dreaming. I'm not marrying you. I just find it inconvenient."Inconvenient? What did he mean by that?Besides, what we had was just a fling. When the spark's gone, we'd move on. Since when did he get a say in my marriage?I replied steadily. "This assistant role of mine won't last. You should

"Are you sure?" Dominic looked at me, his voice cold, his gaze even colder.Before I could answer, Celeste stepped in front of me and approached Dominic's car. She cast a pointed glance at my feet, then leaned in and said in a low voice, "If you have complaints, say them in private. With so many people watching, are you trying to put Mr. Chase on the spot?""That's not what I meant," I murmured, voice growing smaller. It was hard to say it out loud. "I just don't want to accompany…"I bit my lip. Was Dominic already bored of me? That quickly?Men really were heartless.Celeste wasn't about to let this opportunity pass. Every word from her mouth was designed to drive a wedge between Dominic and me."You may not mean it, but this is what you're doing. Don't act out and pressure Mr. Chase with your little tantrums.""I…"I was the one being used as a bargaining chip, yet somehow she made me out to be the unreasonable one—selfish and short-sighted.As I stood there, unsure of what

"I—" I had just opened my mouth to say I was tired, but the call had already ended.Eric turned to me. "Was there a dinner meeting planned for tonight?"I shook my head. "I don't know. He didn't say."The dishes on the table were barely touched. The atmosphere had just settled into something warm and quiet, and I didn't want to ruin it. I quickly pulled up my phone to message Dominic and decline, but Eric stopped me."Don't turn him down," he said. "What if he wants to talk about my promotion?"Just like that, the brief moment of peace I'd imagined shattered under the weight of reality."Is there anything else in that head of yours besides getting promoted? Can't you see I'm exhausted? I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to rest at home."Eric rushed to calm me down. He took my hand in his and said softly, "I'm sorry, baby. This is all my fault. I'm useless. If I were more capable, you wouldn't have to go beg him. But you know how things are for us right now… We really have

I had already made it clear I wouldn't get a divorce, yet he still forced the papers into my hands. The anger on my face could no longer be concealed, and Dominic clearly noticed, but he remained calm as he gently pulled me to his side."You really won't?"Did he need me to say it? My silence was answer enough.His hands settled lightly on my shoulders, and he let out a long, quiet sigh, as if genuinely disappointed. "I always thought you were smart. But you're just as foolish as the rest."I lowered my gaze. "I'm not being foolish. It's because I am thinking clearly that I won't get a divorce. What we have is temporary. I won't destroy my marriage for something that won't last. Yes, you helped pay off my family's debts, but I've paid you back in kind. As far as I'm concerned, we're even. You have no right to dictate my personal life anymore."He laughed mockingly under his breath."Even? That's how you see it?"How else was I supposed to see it? What more did he want?While I
