Chapter 2: The RulesISABELLAMy hands were shaking as I stepped out of the elevator the next night at exactly 9 PM. I had changed my outfit three times before leaving my apartment. In the end, I chose a simple black blouse and a knee-length skirt that buttoned down the front. Easy to take off, just like he’d said. God, what was I doing?My heart pounded so hard I could feel it in my throat. Part of me still couldn’t believe I was actually here. Yesterday’s conversation with Damien Cross had played on repeat in my head all day. The promotion. The money. The way his gray eyes had burned into mine when he told me he wanted me.I wanted him too. That was the scary part.The double doors to his private suite were slightly open, just like last night. I took a deep breath and stepped inside.Damien was leaning against the front of his massive desk, arms crossed over his broad chest. He looked even more handsome tonight in a crisp white shirt with the top two buttons undone. His da

Chapter 4: Crossing LinesISABELLAThe next few days blurred together in the most delicious way. What started as one forbidden night was quickly becoming my new addiction. Damien and I fell into a secret rhythm that left me breathless and constantly craving more.Every night after the office emptied, I would slip into his suite. Sometimes we barely made it past hello before he had me bent over his desk or pressed against the wall. Other times he took his time, teasing me until I was begging.But it wasn’t just the sex anymore. Something was shifting.It was Thursday evening when I found myself in his private elevator with him after a late meeting. The doors had barely closed before Damien pushed me gently against the mirrored wall, his body covering mine.“Missed this mouth,” he murmured before kissing me deeply. His hand slid under my skirt, fingers finding me already wet.“Damien,” I gasped against his lips. “Someone might see—”“No cameras in this elevator,” he growled, nippi

Chapter 6: The Secret ExposedISABELLASunday morning light filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Damien’s penthouse, casting a warm glow over the rumpled black silk sheets. I lay in his arms, my head on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. The weekend had been intense—more pleasure than I ever thought possible. But instead of feeling satisfied, my mind was spinning with questions I could no longer ignore.Damien’s fingers traced lazy circles on my bare back. “You’re quiet this morning,” he murmured, his voice still rough from sleep and everything we’d done last night.I lifted my head and looked at him. Those piercing gray eyes met mine, and for a moment I almost chickened out. But I couldn’t keep pretending.“Damien… what are we doing?” I asked softly. “Is this still just the contract? Or is it becoming something more?”He stilled. The gentle stroking on my back stopped.“Isabella,” he said carefully, “the contract is working. You’re getting your promotion. I’

Chapter 2: First NightAURORADinner felt like a battlefield.I sat across from Lucien at the long candlelit table, wearing the deep emerald dress his people had left for me. Every bite of food tasted like ash in my mouth. He, on the other hand, looked completely at ease — cutting into his steak like he hadn’t just bought me for a year.“You’re glaring again,” he said, his deep voice carrying a hint of amusement. Those cold blue eyes pinned me in place. “It’s almost cute how hard you’re trying to hate me.”“I don’t have to try,” I shot back, gripping my wine glass a little too tightly. “You blackmailed me into marrying you. Forgive me if I’m not in the mood for pleasant conversation.”Lucien leaned back in his chair, studying me with that predatory calm that made my skin prickle. “Most women in your position would be crying or begging right now. You’re spitting fire instead. Interesting.”“I’m not most women.”“No,” he murmured, his gaze sliding over me slowly. “You’re not.”The si

Chapter 4: Secrets & Lies AURORAWe returned to the city that afternoon. Lucien didn’t waste any time.The moment we stepped into his top-floor office, three rough-looking men were waiting. They stood respectfully as we entered.“Boss,” the one with the scar said.Lucien’s hand stayed on my lower back. “This is my wife, Aurora. Aurora, these are Marco, Viktor, and Salvatore.”Marco grinned. “So you’re the one who finally got a ring on him. Ballsy.”I gave a dry laugh. “More like I was given no choice.”Lucien’s voice cut through. “Enough. Update me on The Raven.”They talked business for twenty minutes — territories, missing money, threats. I listened quietly, realizing how deep and bloody Lucien’s world really was.When the men finally left, Lucien locked the door and turned to me with dark hunger in his eyes.“You’ve been clenching your thighs the whole meeting,” he said, stalking toward me.“Observant,” I shot back, backing up until I hit his desk.He lifted me onto it and dropped
