Chapter 41: A Different Version Of Him

Quentin remained standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows for several moments after the bathroom door closed. The New York skyline stretched endlessly before him, but he wasn't looking at the city. He was thinking about the same sentence that has been bothering him. "For the next six months..." Every time Verity said those words, they reminded him that she still believed there would be an ending to their marriage. She still didn't know the truth. A faint smile touched his lips. "I'll change your mind, sweetheart," he murmured quietly. "Not by convincing you... but by loving you the way you deserve to be loved." He glanced at his watch before turning away from the windows. They had an exhibition to attend. A very important one. *** Nearly forty minutes later, Quentin was already downstairs. The penthouse living room was quiet except for the soft tapping of his fingers against the screen of his tablet as he replied to a few emails that couldn't wait until tomorrow. A

Chapter 42: His Personality

The question hung gently between them. Verity opened her mouth. Then she closed it again. Did she? She honestly didn't know. But she only knew one thing. Every day she spent with him made her realize how wrong she had been. "I..." She laughed nervously. "I'm still learning." His smile deepened just enough for her to notice. "I hope you never stop." Something warm settled inside her chest. And it frightened her. She had promised herself she wouldn't fall for Quentin Langford. She had repeated it so many times that it had become a habit. Yet lately... She wasn't pretending to be his wife anymore. She found herself asking whether he had eaten lunch, even cooking dinner because she genuinely wanted to make him smile. There are times she felt like kissing him or touching him. Things she knew were not in the contract. The contract didn't say anything about love. Wait, love? Who's talking about love? Her fingers unconsciously tightened around the wedding band on her left hand

Chapter 43: A Woman From His Past

“So…This is the famous Mrs. Quentin Langford.” Jessica’s voice was smooth, polished, and calm enough to make the words sound harmless. But Verity felt the danger beneath them. The woman standing before them was not loud or openly rude. She was too elegant for that. Her black dress fit her body perfectly, expensive without begging for attention. Her dark hair fell in glossy waves around her shoulders, and the diamonds at her ears caught the light each time she tilted her head. She looked like the kind of woman who knew exactly how to walk into a room and make people notice her. Verity understood immediately why a woman like Jessica could belong in Quentin’s world. That realization irritated her. Quentin stood beside her, his posture calm, but Verity noticed the slight change in his expression. The warmth that had been there moments ago had disappeared. His eyes were colder now. Not guilty. Not afraid. Just distant. “Jessica,” he said. Jessica smiled as though his coldness amus

Chapter 44: The Private Room

Verity walked beside Quentin through the main pavilion, her hand still lightly resting in his. The island felt like a dream — soft golden light, gentle waves in the distance, and beautiful art everywhere she looked. But she could not shake the feeling that something more was coming. Quentin had that quiet look on his face, the one that said he was planning something. They left the crowded hall and followed a quiet stone path lined with small lanterns. The air smelled of something like salt and flowers. Quentin led her toward a smaller building made of white stone and glass. Two guards stood at the door, but they stepped aside as soon as they saw him. “Mr. Langford,” one of them said with respect. “Everything is ready.” Quentin nodded and pushed the door open. He placed his hand gently on Verity’s lower back and guided her inside. She stopped after two steps in. The room was smaller than the main hall, yes, but it felt even more special. Soft lighting glowed from the ceiling.

Chapter 45: The Reckless Drive Home

The Aston Martin purred smoothly as Quentin pulled away from the private dock area. The island lights faded behind them while the dark road stretched ahead. He drove with both hands on the wheel at first, calm and in control like always. But Verity could not sit still. The words they had shared on the yacht deck still burned in her chest. “Tonight, I want all of you.” She had answered him without thinking, and now her body felt alive in a way she had never known before. She reached over and rested her hand on his thigh. The muscle there felt hard under her fingers. Quentin glanced at her, one eyebrow raised, but he said nothing. A small smile played on his lips. Her confidence heightened. Verity let her hand slide higher. She traced the line of his trousers, feeling the warmth of him through the fabric. The car moved steadily along the quiet highway. No other cars around them for long stretches. Just the low hum of the engine and the sound of her own heartbeat in her ears. “You’

Chapter 46: Surrendering To Him

Chapter 46: Surrendering To Him Quentin and Verity barely made it out of the elevator. The moment the doors slid open into the penthouse, Quentin’s mouth was on hers again. This time , the kiss was deep and hungry, nothing like the controlled ones from before. Verity kissed him back just as fiercely, her hands fisting in his shirt as they stumbled into the wide living area. The lights were low, the city glittering through the tall windows. The housekeeper had already left for the night — Quentin had sent her away earlier, wanting no interruptions. He kicked the door shut behind them without breaking the kiss. Verity felt his hands everywhere — one gripping her waist, the other sliding down to cup her ass and pull her hard against him. She could feel how ready he was. A soft moan left her throat. Quentin pulled back just enough to look at her, his gray-blue eyes dark with heat. His voice came out low and rough. “Since you called me Daddy tonight… Daddy is going to fuck you until

Chapter 47: A Safeword

Chapter 47: A Safeword Quentin stayed above her for a long moment, watching the way her chest rose and fell. Her wrists were still tied to the headboard with his tie. Her skin was flushed, her thighs still trembling from the orgasm he had just given her. He brushed a strand of hair from her face with surprising gentleness. “Before we go any further,” he said quietly, his voice low but steady, “I need you to choose a safeword. Something you can say if it ever becomes too much. I will stop the second you say it. No questions.” Verity looked up at him, still hazy with pleasure. She didn’t even have to think. “Green,” she whispered. Quentin’s lips curved. “Green it is. If you say green, everything stops. Understand?” She nodded. “Yes, Daddy.” He leaned down and kissed her softly. “Good girl.” His hand moved to her bound wrists, checking the tie. “Are you comfortable with this? The restraint?” She tested it once and smiled. “Yes. I’m very comfortable.” He searched her eyes for a se

Chapter 48: Morning Desire

Verity woke so early. The bedroom was quiet, filled with soft morning light filtering through the curtains. She turned her head slowly on the pillow and looked at Quentin. He was still asleep, lying on his back with one arm resting above his head. His face looked peaceful — no tension in his jaw, no lines between his brows. His chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm. She studied him for a long moment: the shape of his lips, the straight line of his nose, the faint shadow of stubble on his jaw. A small, soft smile touched her mouth. She wanted to reach out and trace his features with her fingers, but she stopped herself. Instead, she slipped carefully out of bed, not wanting to wake him yet. In the bathroom, she stood in front of the vanity mirror. Her hair was messy, her lips still a little swollen from last night. Then her eyes dropped lower. The hickeys stood out clearly on her neck and the tops of her breasts — small red and purple marks where he had sucked and bitten. She lif

Chapter 49: So Reluctant To Pull Apart

They stayed together for a long while after he didn't pull out of her. She didn't want him to, because he was perfect, just how she wanted him to be. Something she had missed so much in her previous marriage. Quentin’s forehead rested against hers, their breaths slowly settling. He kissed her deeply, not rushed, but full and warm, like he was pouring everything he felt into it. She kissed him back the same way, her fingers in his hair, her legs still wrapped around him. At that moment, with the morning light streaming through the kitchen windows and the smell of coffee in the air, the world outside the penthouse felt very far away. “You feel so good,” he whispered against her lips. “I don’t want to move.” Verity smiled softly and kissed him again. “Then don’t. Not yet.” She smiled again, against his lips. “I need you like this because you feel so good.” They continued talking in low voices between more kisses — small things, easy things. He asked if she was sore. She teased him

Chapter 50: How Dare You Touch My Wife

The days after their morning in the kitchen felt lighter. Quentin and Verity spent quiet time together in the penthouse, talking about small things and enjoying each other’s company. One afternoon, Quentin suggested they go shopping in Manhattan. Verity agreed with a smile. It felt normal. It felt good. They arrived at one of the biggest luxury department stores in the city. The place was bright and busy, with wide aisles, elegant displays, and soft music playing overhead. Verity walked beside Quentin, her hand in his. She wore a simple but pretty sundress, and he looked relaxed in a casual shirt and trousers. For once, they didn’t have bodyguards hovering too close — just two men staying discreetly behind them. They moved through the women’s section first. Verity picked up a soft silk scarf and held it up to the light. Quentin watched her with a small smile. “You like that one?” he asked. “It’s beautiful,” she said. He took it from her gently and draped it around her neck, his f
