Chapter 1

Nothing could be more terrifying than this.The little lapdog who used to come running at my beck and call had become a powerful figure at the top of the food chain. Somehow, he had found out I was working here and brought a whole crew to take me away.Emerson Snyder lazily hooked his finger under the chin of the guy in his arms. The move looked intimate, yet his sharp, hawk-like eyes scanned the room without revealing anything.Even though I tried hard to stay hidden, he instantly found me. I felt like I was targeted by a predator, and a chill ran down my spine.Emerson chuckled and patted the guy beside him, signalling him to leave. Then, with a cigarette between his fingers, he pointed straight at me, deciding my fate in a single breath."I want him."The smile on Colt Reyes' face faltered for a moment before he looked back at Emerson with a pleasing expression. "Mr. Snyder, he's just a clumsy errand boy, and he might aggravate you by accident. If the one just now wasn't to yo

My plan was simple.There was no real grudge between us, and we had just slept together a few times. As long as I could make Emerson tired of me, I could pack up and crawl back to Colt.When I opened my eyes the next morning, I saw myself dressed neatly in a work uniform. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming.After living like a spoiled millionaire for so many years, suddenly being told to work gave me the weird feeling of being back in school. I figured maybe this was some office roleplay, so I walked over, bent down, and started to unzip his pants.However, Emerson suddenly scooped me up and dropped me onto his chair.I frowned. "You want to do it here? That's fine, but we can only go once."One minute later, I threw down the pen. "Emerson, what the hell is wrong with you?" What kind of person would keep a lover around just to make them work?What kind of person would ignore their lover and bury themselves in paperwork?I thought Emerson was seriously messed up.Emerson

My chin was suddenly grabbed hard, and I opened my eyes to meet Colt's rage-filled stare. "Where did he touch you?"I thought he was mocking me, so I looked at him defiantly. "Anywhere you see, that brute Emerson already had his hands on me."For a split second, I could have sworn Colt's face contorted, though I told myself I was imagining it.It was not like I had not thought about crawling into Colt's bed before. However, he had gotten furious, yanked me down, slapped my face, and coldly said he was not interested in me.I looked at him, trying to move his hand away. "If I disgust you, then get lost."Not only did he not leave, but he actually escalated things by pulling out a rope from somewhere.The sight of rope made me panic, and I quickly called out, "Colt! Colt! What are you trying to do?!"Colt tied me up tight and grabbed my throat before kissing me hard.I stared in disbelief as I realized he was into men, too!Colt was like a madman–showing no tenderness, just vici

I started struggling desperately. When Emerson said he would break my legs, he actually meant it.I had a feeling he wanted to lock me in his house for the rest of my life, nail me to his bed where I would never be able to tell day from night again.I forced out a broken smile and willingly put my neck in his hands. At this point, all I could do was try to calm him.Emerson really liked this position in bed as he enjoyed having my vulnerable throat under his control.This time, it clearly did not stir any pity in him. He traced the red marks on my neck that appeared from struggling, his emotions unreadable. "You know what you need to do, right?"My body stiffened as I remembered certain things he had once warned me about, both gently and sternly. My hands clenched into fists, then went limp again as I nodded in humiliation.I mumbled, "I do."Later, Colt finished dealing with the bodyguards and stumbled out. When he saw the black car, his eyes no longer held their former respect

Finally, the workday was over. Exhausted, I collapsed on the desk. Next to me sat a stack of financial reports taller than I was, and I watched in horror as Emerson prepared to hand me yet another one.I leapt with a burst of courage, tackled him, and ripped the report apart. "You can't push people this far! Overtime without pay? Really?!" I snapped.If Emerson dared threaten me with that damn ruler again, I swore there would be a dead body in this office tomorrow.He caught me in his arms, gave me a little shake, and his hand brushed against my behind. The pain shot through me so fast I could not stop gasping. "Emerson, you brute! Idiot! Son of a–!"Emerson glanced at the shredded reports and accepted every insult without a word. He simply hummed in acknowledgement.I knew why Emerson treated me this way. I had always looked dead inside, lacking fire in my eyes.After Mom passed away, I drifted through life in a haze. One day, I bought a pack of cigarettes and a lottery ticket

Chapter 6

I turned my head away, too lazy to listen to more of Colt's empty promises.Colt grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him, pressing his knee against my thigh. With what sounded like genuine sincerity, he said, "Rafael, after all these years together, don't tell me you feel nothing for me."I had felt something for him once. Otherwise, I would not have knocked on his door when I had nowhere else to go. However, those faint feelings were long gone the moment he told me he was not interested.I met his hungry gaze and replied plainly, "Let's part on good terms."The gentle look in Colt's eyes disappeared, finally revealing his vicious, violent nature underneath. "Still stubborn, huh? When you're broke, you need to act like it."He was about to kiss me when I screamed and ducked. He grabbed my throat and was about to try again when someone knocked on the door from the other side.It was Emerson.His voice was calm but carried the quiet before a storm. "Colt. You can try me."I

My eye twitched as I instantly knew what Emerson was trying to do. The first thought that flashed through my mind was to run away.I mumbled, "I need to use the bathroom, like now."He grabbed me and shoved the box into my hands, giving no room for argument. He said, "Rafael, this is for you. It's a belated birthday gift."I froze as the box was pressed into my hands.Emerson's voice slowed, his words breaking. He was even starting to choke up. "I will... I'll get better with treatment. C-could you..."I sensed something was wrong and pressed my hand on his, trying to stop him.Emerson slowly shook his head and continued. He kept going until his voice gave out, and he could not say another word. Then, he suddenly pulled a pill bottle from his pocket with three pills already prepared inside.He dumped them into his mouth, chewed them, and swallowed hard without any water. However, his eyes stayed locked on me the entire time.He said, "Please, don't leave me."I watched Emerson

Chapter 8

I flashed Mikey a sly smile and picked up one of the bottles. Instead of drinking it myself, I walked over to him.Then, I straddled his lap with a playful expression and murmured, "There are two ways to drink."Mikey sat still, watching me with growing interest."One way is seduction," I purred as I pulled open his collar and slowly poured the liquor down inside.The alcohol soaked his shirt, gradually releasing a strange, intoxicating fragrance. The amusement in Mikey's eyes grew stronger as he waved his hand. "Keep going."After finishing one bottle, I grabbed the other one. "And the other way," I sneered, upending it over his head. "Is humiliation. Stop looking at me with those damn eyes."In the chaos that followed, I hid in the bathroom and made a phone call. I opened with my usual practiced line. "I messed up. Come bail me out."Colt laughed on the other end and pressed for details. "Why aren't you calling Mr. Snyder? Is there really someone even he can't handle?" I
