Chapter 140. Thoroughly ravished

**Stella's POV** The next morning, I wake up sore in the best possible way. My body aches in places that haven't ached in years—a delicious reminder of the night I just spent with Shawn. We had sex multiple times. Against the shower wall. At my bedroom balcony. Again in bed after I thought we were done. I can still feel the ghost of his hands on my skin, his mouth on mine, the way he made me feel things I honestly thought I'd never could feel. Wanted. Desired. Cherished. I stretch lazily, a smile spreading across my face despite everything that happened yesterday with Maya. For the first time in weeks, I feel... happy. Not the fake happiness I tried to project for everyone else. Real happiness. The kind that bubbles up from somewhere deep inside and makes you want to laugh for no reason. Shawn is still asleep beside me, one arm thrown over his head, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. He looks younger and less brooding when he sleeps. He is just..

Chapter 141. Who is that hottie?

**Stella's POV** "How much did you hear?" I ask, my heart still racing from the scare. "Enough." He pushes off the doorframe and moves toward me with that predatory grace that makes my stomach flip. "to know that Victor cares about you a lot." "He does." I turn to face him fully as he approaches. "Which is why this—" I gesture between us, "—is so incredibly awkward." Shawn stops in front of me, close enough that I can feel the heat radiating off his bare chest. "Because I work for him?" "Because you work for him," I confirm. "Because this is exactly the kind of forbidden situation that shouldn't be happening. Because if he finds out—" "He won't," Shawn interrupts, his hands settling on my waist. "Not unless we want him to." I look up at him, my breath catching at the intensity in his eyes. "And do we? Want him to?" Shawn is quiet for a moment, his thumbs tracing small circles on my hips through the thin fabric of his shirt. "I don't know," he finally admits. "Thi

Chapter 142. Unexpected caller.

**Stella's POV** "Cole?" I sit up straighter, pulling the sheets around me. "How did you get my number and why are you calling me?" Riley's eyebrows shoot up, and she mouths Cole Grant? with a look of surprise and disgust. "Good morning to you too, Stella." His voice is smooth, and too controlled. "I'm calling to check on Noah. How is he doing?" I frown, immediately suspicious. Cole has never once called to check on Noah since the custody hearing. Not once. "Noah's fine," I say curtly. "Is that all?" "Actually, no." There's a pause. "My parents have been asking about him. They're concerned about his wellbeing, especially now that he's away from... family." "Away from family?" My voice rises despite my best efforts to stay calm. "I AM also his family, Cole. Actually, I'm even MORE his family than you and your parents ever were." Riley's eyes widen, and she gives me an encouraging nod. I can practically hear Cole's jaw tightening on the other end of the line. Here comes his in

Chapter 143. First day at work.

**Stella's POV** "I understand," Cole says quietly. "Good. Don't call this number again unless it's about Maya or an actual emergency involving her. Goodbye, Cole." I hang up before he can respond. For a moment, I just sit there, my heart pounding, my hands shaking slightly... How dare he question my security?! "What the hell was that about?" Riley asks, her eyes wide. "I have no idea," I admit. "But something's wrong. Cole's never cared about Noah's security before. Why now? What does he know?" "Maybe he's just trying to mess with you?" Riley suggests. "You know, typical ex-husband power play?" "Maybe." But I don't believe it. There was something in Cole's voice. Something real. He's worried. But about what? I push the thought aside. I can't deal with Cole's drama right now. I have too much else going on. "I need to get ready," I say, standing up with the bedsheet and heading to my closet. "I have work today." "Work?" Riley's eyebrows rise. "Already?" "I'

Chapter 144. Blackmail.

**Shawn's POV** I'm sitting at my desk, reviewing the morning reports, when my secretary Margaret buzzes in. "Mr. Black, I've prepared everything for Miss Matthews' arrival as you requested. Her workstation is set up on the 1st floor, and I've briefed the team to give her—" "Special treatment," I interrupt. "But discreetly. She doesn't want anyone to know who she is yet. Make sure she's comfortable, has everything she needs, but don't make it obvious." "Understood, sir." I end the call and lean back in my chair, checking my watch. 8:08 AM. Stella should have arrived by now. The thought of seeing her in professional attire, walking through these halls, working in the same building as me... I adjust my tie, trying to focus on the financial reports in front of me instead of the images of last night—and this morning—that keep flooding my mind. Focus, Black. You have work to do. A knock on my office door pulls me from my thoughts. "Come in." The door opens, and I look up, expe

Chapter 145. Trainee.

**Stella's POV** Barbara—as she finally introduced herself—leads me through the sleek lobby of Ace Industries with brisk, efficient steps that her sensible flats make easy. My Louboutins, on the other hand, are already starting to pinch. I keep pace with her, refusing to show any sign of discomfort, my head held high despite the fact that she's been nothing but condescending since we walked through the doors. We take the elevator down—down, not up—and I realize with a sinking feeling that we're heading to the basement level. The doors open to reveal a much less glamorous part of the building. Fluorescent lights. Linoleum floors. The faint smell of copy machine toner and old coffee. This is where the real work happens. Away from the glass and chrome of the executive floors. Barbara leads me down a narrow hallway to a small office with her name on the door. "Sit," she commands, gesturing to a chair across from her desk. I sit, smoothing down my skirt and crossing my an

Chapter 146. Playing it cool.

**Shawn's POV** (Meanwhile upstairs...) I follow Ezekiel out of my office, every step feeling like I'm walking toward my own execution. The hallway is busy with the morning rush—employees heading to meetings, assistants carrying coffee, the general hum of a workday beginning. And as we pass, I notice the looks. The she-wolves employed at Ace Industries have never been subtle. Their eyes follow me with barely concealed interest as usual, some smiling invitingly, others blatantly staring. Sarah from Marketing. Jessica from HR. That new analyst whose name I can't remember. All of them are watching with hope that never interested me. Not once. But apparently, it interests Ezekiel. "You know," he says conversationally as we walk, "you could have any woman in this building. Look at them. They practically undress you with their eyes." I don't respond. "I know Sarah's been asking about you for months," he continues, nodding toward a blonde she-wolf who's pretending to lo

Chapter 147. Tell her about me.

**Shawn's POV** "What do interns usually look like?" Stella asks, and I can hear the slight edge in her voice. She doesn't like him. Thank fuck. "I just mean—" Ezekiel moves closer, his smile widening, "—you seem too... polished for an entry-level position. Most interns come in wearing khakis and polo shirts. You look like you should be running a department." It's a compliment wrapped in flirtation, and Ezekiel delivers it too smoothly, it makes me clench my jaws hard. Stella's expression doesn't change. "I believe in dressing for the job you want, not the job you have." "Smart," Ezekiel says. "I like that. Initiative. Ambition. Those are good qualities." I want to punch him in the throat. Kelvin is looking between them with wide eyes, clearly sensing the weird energy in the room but not understanding it. "So, Stella," Ezekiel continues, leaning against the sorting table in what he probably thinks is a casual, charming pose. "What made you want to work here? At Ace Industrie

Chapter 148. Office gossip.

**Stella's POV** The moment Shawn and Ezekiel leave the mailroom, I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. What the hell was that? I can understand pretending not to know each other but why was Shawn was so... cold and distant like I was just another employee he was introducing to the creepy IT guy. I suppress a shudder at the thought of Ezekiel. There was something about him that made my skin crawl. The way he looked at me. The way he smiled. The way he inserted himself into my space like he had every right to be there. And the way Shawn just stood there and let it happen. "Holy shit." I turn to find Kelvin staring at the doorway where they just left, his eyes wide as saucers. "What?" I ask. "Shawn Black was in the mail room," Kelvin says, like I might have missed it. "THE Shawn Black. Head of security. Victor Ace's right-hand man. He literally never comes down here. Like, ever. I've worked in this mailroom for years, and I've never seen him set foot on

Chapter 149. Things I should not have heard.

**Stella's POV** "No idea. But there have been a lot of closed-door meetings lately. People whispering in corners." Kelvin shrugs. "Probably nothing. But it's fun to speculate." I file that information away, making a mental note to tell my father about it later. "Any other gossip I should know about?" I ask, trying to sound casual. "Well, there's the fact that Ezekiel King is a total creep who monitors everyone from his hidden layer in the building." Kelvin's expression darkens. "So if he asks you out again, hard pass. Trust me." "I thought he was a creep too," I admit. "Good." Kelvin nods approvingly. "The guy's a genius with computers, but he's also got this whole 'I'm watching you' vibe that's super unsettling. Half the women in this building have rejected him.""For real?!" I gasp in shock and kelvin nods in amusement."Yes. So stay away from him. It's a friendly warning.""You won't tell me twice," We spend the next hour sorting mail, and true to his word, Kelvin
