Chapter 11 -“Broken Glass and Burning Lies”

Val's POVI stood there wrapped in nothing but a thin sheet, staring at the man who had just been inside me, and felt everything crumble.The luxurious penthouse that had felt like a dream minutes ago now felt like a golden prison. My legs were still weak. My body still hummed with the aftereffects of the most intense sex I had ever experienced. And Ivan West looked at me like I was already his to keep.“I can’t do this,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “I need air. I need to think.”“You’re not leaving.” Ivan’s tone left no room for argument. He pulled on his sweatpants but stayed shirtless, the scratches I’d left on his chest still visible. “Harrison Cole has people watching this building. If you walk out now, you’ll be walking straight into his trap.”I laughed bitterly. “So now I’m your prisoner?”“You’re my wife,” he corrected, stepping closer. “On paper and in every way that matters tonight.”The words sent a fresh wave of heat through me despite my anger. I hated my bo

Chapter 12 - “The Morning After The Storm”

Ivan's POVI watched her from the doorway as she slept.Valentina lay curled up in the middle of my king sized bed, the silk sheet barely covering her naked body. Her dark hair spilled across the pillow like ink, and even in sleep her brows were furrowed. She looked exhausted. Beautiful. And completely mine.Last night had been a mistake in many ways.

The thought still sent a strange warmth through my chest that I wasnt ready to examine too closely.My phone vibrated silently in my hand. Another update from my team.Cole had doubled down overnight. More leaks. More lies. He was painting Valentina as a des

Chapter 13 -“New Wife New War”

Vals PovThe ring felt heavy on my finger.I stood beside Ivan in front of the small crowd of carefully selected guests and press, forcing a smile while cameras flashed around us. Mrs. Ivan West. The words still sounded fake in my head even as the officiant had pronounced them real. My simple white dress hugged my body a little too closely and I kept wondering if people could already tell I was pregnant.Ivan’s hand rested possessively on my lower back. Every time his thumb brushed my spine I felt it between my legs. My body was a traitor. Even after everything last night and this morning I still reacted to him like a live wire.The kiss at the end of the ceremony had not been gentle. He had pulled me close in front of everyone and kissed me like he owned me. Deep and hungry. I had kissed him back because I had to. Because the world was watching. But my nipples had hardened and heat had pooled low in my belly anyway.Now the reception was a blur of fake congratulations and sharp quest
