Chapter 1

By the time the deal was signed, I had everything I’d ever wanted—except her.“Sir, the emails have been sent,” Kace said, voice bright with relief.“Good.”I leaned back in my chair, staring through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Another contract won. Another victory that felt strangely empty.“Just like the others,” I muttered. We’d won countless deals in just two years.You’re doing well, son. I’m proud of you. Dad’s words echoed in my head. Years of sleepless nights, board meetings, and billion-dollar risks were finally paying off—or at least, they should have felt that way.My phone buzzed.The Unicorns. My high school graduation group.I scrolled through the feed—beach vacations, wedding rings, baby photos. Everyone seemed to be living. Meanwhile, I was buried in deadlines and champagne meetings that never felt like celebrations.My stomach twisted. The office suddenly felt smaller. I tugged at my tie, reached for the water bottle, and tried to swallow the unease crawling up my t

Chaper 2

The moment Damian stepped into his ex-girlfriend’s wedding, he knew he was going to explode.Every passing second reminded him of her — of them. Lila had once been the woman of his dreams, the one he thought he’d walk down the aisle with. Until success took her away.Collins had practically dragged him here.“You’ve got to hold yourself together, man,” he said, adjusting Damian’s collar. “Be a man. Lila isn’t the only girl out there.”That line hit Damian like a blade. His jaw tightened. Before he could stop himself, he grabbed Collins and slammed him against the wall, fury flashing in his eyes.“Don’t say her name like that,” he growled.Collins didn’t flinch. He knew Damian’s pain ran deep — deeper than he liked to admit. After a tense moment, Damian exhaled, releasing him. He turned to the mirror, his reflection a stranger in a designer suit.“I’m sorry,” he muttered, voice shaking. “You know how I felt about her.”“Feelings don’t last forever, Damian,” Collins said, resting a hand

Chapter 3

Damian woke with a splitting headache and the weight of his choices pressing on his chest.He remembered the wedding, the whiskey, and that stranger’s voice — “Why don’t you hire a cookie?”But it wasn’t just the alcohol talking. The idea had stuck.He had money — more than he’d ever need — yet he couldn’t buy peace. Not love. Not closure. Maybe what he needed wasn’t comfort… maybe it was distraction.On his phone screen, the link still glowed, he was now in the website"Need a cookie? Adults only"He knew what it meant he didn't hesitate. He clicked the link conciously, he was no longer the little Damian they held by the hand and directed what to do.The CEO of Cross Holdings he knew exactly what to do and the steps he was taking.He entered his details, chose a location — the Black Orchid Hotel — and hit confirm.When he closed his eyes that night, he wasn’t sure if he wanted company or punishment.***The next morning*** (Damian's Pov)This morning felt different, we have just roun

Damian’s POV“Let’s get to our main talk,” she said softly, swaying her long black silk hair over one shoulder. Her hands rested lightly on my shoulders, her touch measured, practiced — but it carried warmth all the same.“What do you do, Mr. Stranger?”Her voice sounded like melody, smooth and deliberate. I couldn’t help but smile.“I’m a business owner,” I replied.Her brows lifted. “You own a conglomerate?” she asked curiously, a faint smile playing on her lips.“Something like that,” I said with a small laugh. “You’re quite smart.”“Thank you for the compliment,” she said, her gaze drifting across the suite. “No wonder you can afford this kind of luxury.”“You here for the first time?” I asked, loosening the top button of my shirt.“Yes. This place is a seven-star hotel,” she said, admiring the decor with wide, almost childlike wonder.“Let me help you with that,” she offered, her fingers moving to undo the remaining buttons. Our eyes met — once, then again. Each time felt like a

Her words lingered long after the silence swallowed them.Damian's POV:I wasn’t sure if she meant to tease me or warn me — but either way, I was already in too deep. The way she looked at me, with that blend of mystery and quiet defiance, did something to me. For the first time in a long while, I wasn’t the one in control.I tried to laugh it off, to push back the weight of what I was feeling, but her eyes held me still. That night wasn’t supposed to mean anything — it was meant to distract me, to make me forget. Yet here I was, remembering every second."We'll finish what we came here for" I said giving her a mischievious smile, the demon in me had woken.In a second, I grabbed Aria to the bed, taking her silver silk gown from her. I could hear her soft breath lightly over her skin.Her skin stood flawlessly, smooth and perfect, shining bright like glass. Before she should realize it, I grabbed her soft, plump lips into mine. The kiss lingered and left us panting lightly."Something

“Sir, I’ve gathered some details about the leak,” Kace said, running to catch up with me.“I’m listening,” I replied quickly, still striding toward the meeting room.“Preston Holdings Ltd,” she said between breaths, “they’ve somehow accessed The Secret Man Show — the database that stores confidential contract dealings for every major company. They’ve built a network of leeches who work tirelessly to uncover rivals’ data.”I stopped for half a second. “You’re saying they have a spy database and access to government files?”“Precisely.”My hands trembled slightly, but I clenched them into fists.You don’t have to give up now. You can do this, son. I could almost hear my father’s voice echoing in my head.But I’m weak, my mind whispered.No. You’re capable.I straightened, meeting Kace’s worried eyes. “We’ll get them,” I said firmly, exhaling as the elevator doors slid open.We entered, silence filling the short ride. My reflection on the steel door looked calm, but my heart pounded li

“What?” My voice came out sharp, low, dangerous.“It happened just now. The bank flagged it as suspicious, but the transfer already went through. Sir, what do we do?I froze, mind racing.“Find out who did it,” I said, each word a command. “Now.”Kace nodded and ran out.I stared once more at the paused footage—the shadow of the man beside Aria.And for the first time in years, I felt the ground shift beneath me.**Aria's POV**I quietly shut the door of the VIP suite behind me, resting my back on it. I breathed a sigh of reliefMy phone buzzed with a notification. A message from an unknown number read "Job done, I will transfer the money to you bank account". I immediately received my payment.That night was meant to be like every other night with other client, but what I didn't understand was I didn't know what I was doing.I spread the butter evenly on my bread, that was the previous night and it's morning I have to prepare myself."Thank God for Mr Billionaire I would have been k

Suddenly blue lights and red lights flashed through the alley, the whirling of sirens were now loud and clear.I summoned courage and gave the thug a blow, he let me off his grip, not willing to retaliate and ran as fast as he could.My knees buckled hitting the cold pavement.For a moment, all I heard was my heartbeat — loud, desperate, alive.“Hey! You there!” a firm voice called out.I looked up to see two officers stepping out of a patrol car, the whirling of the sirens cutting through the silence“Are you okay, miss?” one of them asked, his brows furrowed in concern."I-I think someone tried to grab me, a thug" I managed to say, my voice trembling.“He ran that way.” I pointed down the street, but there were no trace of him they were only little kids coming back from school.The younger officer ran ahead to check while the others helped me to my feet.“You shouldn’t be walking alone around here,” he said gently. “This area’s been on our radar for a while.”“I didn’t plan to,” I w

Chapter 9

*Damian's POV* The air between the walls tightened. The company has achieved a lot this year—three multibillion contracts were no small feat. We expected opposition but not this kind. I bit my lower lip I looked at Kace. She was worried, she haven't had a goodnight rest, trying to trace the leak. Every face in the room was sharp with accusation, and I could feel the weight of their judgment pressing on my chest "Mr. Damian, an investor threatened to withdraw if this issue is not resolved immediately!" a share holder barked. “I said I’m handling it,” I replied, trying to keep my tone steady even though my patience was cracking. “That’s what you said yesterday!” another snapped. “Now there’s a police inquiry, and our shares are falling by the hour!” I turned. Who in the world would said that? I took a deep breath I had to calm my troubled employees, this was indeed a dark moment. Before I could respond, Rachel stood. Her heels clicked sharply against the floor — t

"Sir, someone is here to see you" Kace's assistant said again, her voice trembling. Everyone attention shifted to her, their raging eyes crushing her timid look. Wrong timing, Poor Reina! "Tell them I'm not—" I began, burned with anger. "It's a woman sir. She said it's urgent" She hesitated I flashed my eyes towards her. A woman? What business could I possibly have with a woman in this mess? "She said you are with her ID card" I froze. Her ID card? My hand instinctively touched the one in my pocket Aria? For a split second my heart stilled— it started beating fast, loud and clear. Rachel smiled, confusion flickering in her eyes. I stood up slowly and coughed straightening my tie. "Meeting Adjourned" "Mr Damian. You can't just—" a shareholder began "I said adjourned" I thundered I stormed out of the boardroom, Kace hurrying to keep up. The elevator doors slid open just in time. "Your doing well, Sir" Kace said. "Your Dad would be proud" Her words broke th
