Chapter One

Mia I pasted a fake smile on my face as the priest recited the marriage liturgy at my younger sister's wedding. I had to be here. That's what I kept telling myself. But I hated it. I hated being dragged into this function. The noise. The flashing lights. The fake compliments. The gossips, oh for fuck's sake, the gossips. How was I supposed to explain that my younger sister getting married before me didn't bother me? That being the only unmarried one among my four siblings meant nothing to me? I had tried. I had explained. But all I got were pity looks and useless advice. If I had to hear one more "Don't worry, you'll find someone," or "I know a great spot for serious hot men," I was going to pop. And yet when one of my grandaunties tapped me on the shoulder to introduce her friend's son, I didn't snap. I smiled. I said I wasn't looking for a relationship. Her disapproving face didn't faze me. I turned my attention back to Ariella. She was the reason I was here. Deep breaths, M

Chapter two

# Matthew The song was ending but I sure as hell wasn't ready to let go. To think I didn't even want to attend the ceremony—now I had myself wishing I had come earlier so I could drink in the beauty of this goddess. Carlos was burning holes in the back of my head. I could feel his eyes from across the room. He was probably wondering why I was dancing with my target. Because that's what Mia Patel was supposed to be. A target. A means to an end. She worked for Benjamin, the owner of the company I wanted to make mine. But according to my sources, she was the real brain. Jenson was the face, but Mia made the calls. The plan was simple. Offer her enough money to make her disappear. If that failed, threaten her. Make her boss fold. Easy. But then I saw her. From across the room. Black dress. No smile. Arms crossed. She didn't look impressed with anyone, and I liked that too much. Carlos had laughed. "Who wears black to a wedding?" Mia Patel does. And now I couldn't stop

Chapter three

Mia Relief surged through me when the ceremony finally ended. After a stiff goodbye to Ariella, I walked briskly to my car. Finally free. Away from the noise, the eyes, the pressure. It was hard to be happy for her. My doubts about men were too strong. And the guilt sat heavy in my chest. I loved her, but the dread wouldn’t let me rest. I took a deep breath and started driving. At least I was away from the crowd. My cold expression and black dress hadn’t done much to keep people away. Some still approached, asking questions I didn’t care to answer. I told myself this was the last wedding I’d attend for a while. It’s over, Mia. But the thoughts came anyway. What if she ends up like Mom? What if he lets her down? What if she hides her pain? If he hurt her—I wouldn’t let it slide. I meant that. Eventually, I pulled up beside a bar. It looked clean, in a decent location. I didn’t plan to stay long—just one drink, and a little silence. The moment I walked in, I he

Chapter four

MatthewI didn't believe in gods or luck, but nothing else could explain the amazing coincidence of Mia Patel walking right into my fucking bar. I thanked my lucky stars. Coming here after the ceremony was the right choice. My eyes trailed after her through the security system in my office like a creep as she made her way to the VIP area.I instantly made a call to one of the guards, Steve."Let her in," I said.I didn't want her using her money to pay for a ticket in order to get in. When she was settled, I ordered all her drinks on the house. I watched her expressions through the camera, and damn, I should have added audio, but it was satisfying nonetheless watching her changing expressions.As she settled herself comfortably on the sofa and brought out her phone, I suddenly wanted to know what she was doing—her favorite book, music, food. Fuck, I wanted to know everything about her. Her tense shoulders relaxed as she continued downing brandy like it was water. She loosened her hair

Chapter Five

My lips were swollen, my body hot—gods, I needed more. But where the fuck did he go?“Matthew!” I called.He was at the door, his broad frame blocking it like a wall, talking to a man I didn’t recognize.“What do you think you’re doing, Matthew?” the man’s voice was low, gravelly.“Mind your own business, Carlos,” Matthew growled, that dangerous edge in his tone sending a shiver through me.“You think I don’t know who you’ve got in there?”So… he knew me? I swayed toward the doorway, pushing it open. Matthew tried to pull me back, but I shook him off.“I can stand,” I snapped. Then, with all the condescension I could muster, I looked Carlos dead in the eye. “We’re in the middle of something here asshole, so maybe… fuck off.”Matthew chuckled, but Carlos just glared harder.“And do you know who you’re in the middle of something with, Miss Patel?”Why does everyone know my name?“It’s Matthew,” I said, rolling my eyes.“Matthew Foster,” he clarified, like I’d just missed the punchline.

Chapter Six

# MatthewIf looks could kill, Carlos would be buried six feet under.On one hand, I was relieved he stopped me before I did something as savage as taking Mia right there on my office desk. On the other, I wanted to wring his neck for the interruption."Really, Matthew?" Carlos's voice was laced with disbelief. "Of all the women in this city… her? The one we're supposed to use to get our hands on Rensons' network? This was your plan.""She's not just any woman," I said, my tone tight. She's the kind of woman who makes me forget why I wanted that damn company in the first place. She's crashed into my life like a storm, scattering every carefully laid plan I've built. But I wasn't about to admit that to Carlos.I strode into my office, every step deliberate, my temper simmering. The city skyline spread out behind my desk, a reminder of the empire I'd built from the ground up, an empire I intended to expand. Carlos followed, still glaring, still waiting for an explanation I wouldn't give

Chapter Seven

# MiaWhat the actual fuck.A thousand thoughts crashed through my mind. How does one take over a company overnight?I flushed in shame as yesterday's events replayed in my head. Matthew Foster definitely looked like the kind of man who could pull off something like this. That shame curdled quickly into anger when I thought about what his takeover meant for Renson's Corporation.I turned to Gladys."Is he here?" I asked, trying to keep my voice even."Oh, you mean your boyfriend?" she said with a smirk.I let a flicker of my irritation slip through, enough for her to know exactly how I felt about this situation. *Though you touched yourself thinking about him yesterday,* a treacherous voice in my head whispered. I ignored it."He's upstairs, in Benjamin's former office," she finally said. "Hopefully he's better than he was." She gave me a knowing look and walked away.I exhaled slowly. It was no secret our previous employer was an asshole, to put it mildly. He'd spent more time chasin

Chapter eight

# MatthewFuck! She tasted as heavenly as I remembered. It hadn't been my intention to kiss her, but damn… I wasn't even sure what my intentions were the moment she walked into my office dressed like that.A crisp white blouse tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt that hugged her in all the right places, paired with sharp black heels that announced her presence with every step. Her hair was pulled back into a sleek low bun — no-nonsense, efficient, the kind of style that screamed control — yet it only made the delicate line of her neck stand out all the more. And then there were her eyes… those ocean eyes. She wore a composed expression, but her gaze betrayed her: flickering between devouring me whole and throwing daggers in my direction. Gods, I loved it.But her enchantment aside, she was right. The incoming shipment was going to be a problem, a bigger one than I had accounted for. It was too large to simply ignore, yet too entangled in old agreements to deal with cleanly. And if
