All Chapters of The Lethal Vow: Owned by the Billionaire Monster : Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

The heavy oak door of the private study clicked shut behind me. I did not even have time to turn around before a massive hand clamped forcefully over my mouth and a solid, muscular chest pressed flush against my back. "You are exactly where you are not supposed to be, Chloe," a deep, gravelly voice whispered directly into my ear. Damien Sterling. My older brother’s best friend. The most ruthless billionaire in the city. And the exact man I was trying to rob.I grabbed his thick wrist with both of my hands and dug my fingernails into his skin. He did not flinch and he did not let me go. He just laughed. The dark, vibrating sound resonated through his chest and sent a violent rush of unwanted heat straight between my thighs. He removed his hand from my mouth and immediately wrapped his long fingers around my throat. He did not squeeze to hurt me. He held me securely in place to prove he possessed absolute physical control over my body. He spun me around in the dark and slammed my bac

I lay flat on the cold mahogany desk for a long second while the thick legal contract rested heavily on my chest and Damien Sterling adjusted the gold cuffs of his suit jacket with an infuriatingly calm expression. My breathing was ragged from the sudden, violent loss of his physical touch and the heavy ache settling deep between my thighs made my hands shake uncontrollably. I forced myself to sit up and violently yanked my red silk gown down over my bare legs because I absolutely refused to lay exposed like a desperate animal in front of a man who just bought my entire existence. I snatched the thick paper off my chest and unfolded it with trembling fingers to read the bold black ink spanning the bottom of the document. The signature of my older brother was scrawled perfectly across the dotted line next to Damien’s precise, rigid signature. The bold heading at the top of the page clearly stated it was a binding transfer of assets and my full legal name was listed explicitly under th

Damien carried me entirely down the long, dark hallway of his massive penthouse while my fists beat uselessly against his broad shoulders and my high heels kicked desperately at the empty air. He completely ignored my frantic struggles and kicked the heavy double mahogany doors of his master bedroom wide open with his polished leather shoe before he marched directly into the center of the sprawling, coldly decorated room. He did not gently set me down on my feet or give me a single second to brace myself against his overwhelming physical power. He simply opened his massive arms and threw me completely onto the center of the massive king-sized bed, sending my body bouncing violently against the expensive mattress until my spine slammed hard against the velvet headboard. I immediately scrambled backward and pulled my bare knees tightly against my chest while my chest heaved with ragged, terrified breaths because the reality of my legally binding situation was finally crashing down on my

Damien’s heavy, footsteps disappeared down the long hallway and the double mahogany doors slammed shut with a deafening metallic click that officially sealed the biometric locks and trapped me entirely inside his gilded cage. Elias ignored my presence on the bed and violently dragged the sobbing, bleeding lawyer out of the master bedroom by his ruined collar, hauling him forcefully into the sprawling main living room to physically interrogate him about the exact layout of the Volkov syndicate's downtown warehouse. I absolutely refused to sit helplessly on this expensive mattress and passively wait for my psychotic, murderous husband to drag my older brother's bleeding corpse into the penthouse just to execute him directly in front of my eyes. I violently tore the remaining shreds of the ruined red silk gown completely off my trembling body and threw the expensive fabric onto the floor before I marched entirely bare into Damien’s massive, aggressively masculine walk-in closet to find
