CHAPTER ONE

The night couldn't have been better. I am getting engaged finally, I have the world's best fiancée, and on top of that, I just struck a deal with the Ashford Group, in which I will have to meet with them tomorrow. I finally have stability in my life after all that happened four years ago.I breathe in sharply, a lot of weight relieving from my shoulders. I walked back into the mansion; I believe it will be time for the engagement announcement soon. But first, I have to adjust my makeup and then find my fiancée.I had planned exactly how it would go in my head over and over for the last few weeks: the toast, the kisses, all of the thoughts that made me happy and giddy without even thinking of my grief.As soon as I entered the private suite bathroom, something felt off. Like the air was thicker and an incorrigible sound echoed. I paused at the door to listen to what I had just heard. Then it came again.Moans.Passionate ones.I frowned slightly, disgusted by the fact that some people h

CHAPTER TWO

The club was exactly how Claire had described it. Maybe even more. It was a hidden world of desire, luxury, and a quiet form of danger. Unlike a cheaper club, this place pulsed with controlled music, whispered conversations, and bodies grinding against each other.Thanks to Claire's influence, we were able to make it into the private suite. I moved across the room with a renewed sense of confidence and motivation, even though I wasn't sure it was just my low alcohol tolerance kicking in.I glanced around the club, watching the way everyone moved in hypnotic sync, bodies grinding against each other, men and women kissing without shame. The interesting fact is they might be going through worse than I am currently experiencing.My eyes kept moving through the room, looking for a possible adventure I might explore tonight. Then I saw him.He was walking into the room, but not the same one I was in. He was escorted to the top floor. Everyone paved the way for him as he moved like he owned t

CHAPTER THREE

ARIA'S POV I followed the direction he had walked towards, my heart racing at the thought that this might be the only chance I would get with him, and I wasn't ready to let it slip from my hands because of some nerves.The hallway was much quieter than the rest of the VIP section, the music from the main room echoing in here, but it's still more pleasant than the blasting sounds outside.He must have noticed I was following him because his steps slowed. For a brief second, I stopped to think of the danger of following a stranger, but the thrill of being handled by a hot, godlike stranger was stronger than my fear.Within seconds, he closed the distance between us, pinning me against the wall as his body pressed against mine.“You!” he said, tilting his head gently.“Why are you here? Are you following me?” he asked, his gaze watching my face as my chest rose and fell from the impact of his movement.“Yes… I was following you,” I said, matching the intensity of his gaze.“You know how

CHAPTER FOUR

ARIA'S POV “WAKE THE FUCK UP, GIRL!” Claire's voice came louder this time, yelling as I tried to turn over.“It’s ten o'clock in the fucking morning and you have a lunch meeting by twelve. What the hell are you thinking by sleeping so late?” She came, dragging me off the bed.“Keep it down… my head is banging,” I murmured.“Sorry, but you need to get up so you won't be groggy when you get to the meeting. Remember, you have to go alone; you simply can't go with Ryan again.”I jumped up almost immediately. Memories of yesterday crashed through me all at once. I grabbed my phone, only to see tons of messages from Ryan, ranging from pleas to threats, but the last one was more like a desperate measure begging to see me, even if it was just once.I tossed my phone aside, getting up slowly.“What's with that look?” Claire frowned suspiciously.“I feel bad… I feel like I cheated on Ryan,” I murmured as I walked to the restroom, the evidence of yesterday's experience still buzzing between my l

CHAPTER FIVE

DOMINIC'S POVHow is this even possible? I couldn't believe what is happening in the conference room with the new partners. The woman from last night, the one I have been trying so hard to forget while actively stopping myself from researching about her background was the new partner. I flipped her portfolio again.I didn't know I had have sex with Aria Cole, the new face in the industry that has made quite a handful of breakthrough for herself at just twenty four within a year in office. If I had revised her profile since it got to my table I wouldn't have made the mistake of giving in yesterday.What have I done?I have a strong principle of keeping affairs from work, now I have to work with the woman whom I obviously still fantasized of sleeping with in broad daylight, watching every moment of her squirming.Fuck I need to stop thinking about her, just the thought make me hard. I cleared my throat, forcing myself to focus on the proposal that was given.She had rehearsed this. I co

CHAPTER SIX

CHAPTER SIXARIA'S POVMy legs were shaking by the time we finished the bargain. I walked hurriedly out of the conference room, trying to find the nearest bathroom. My thoughts were spinning and all over the place.How on earth is the same man I had practically seduced yesterday the same man I will have to deal with for the next eighteen months?I still can't believe I made such an impression on the biggest businessman in all of New York, the night before I met with him to help me out.I entered the bathroom, closing the door almost immediately. I rested my hands on the basin, watching my flushed face as my mind replayed the words he said last.He looked like he hadn't remembered ever meeting me, letting me wonder if he actually remembers me at all, but something about his comments felt off, and it felt like he was nudging at my boldness yesterday.“Fuckkkk…!” I groaned, dragging my hands through my dark hair. My phone vibrated, jolting me out of my thoughts.‘Where are you?’ Tyler's m

CHAPTER SEVEN

DOMINIC POVI parked my car at the front of my parents' circular driveway, killing the engine and sitting back to take a moment to myself as my mind ran through the conversations I was about to go through again.The compulsory dinner my father had called only meant one thing: the only thing they had been repeating for the past three years without fail.Glancing around at the aged oak tree in the compound, something I had grown up looking forward to is now something I dread.I got out of the car, walking towards the mansion that stood high and mighty like a monument to old money, perfectly carved stones in the fountain just outside the house; everything about this home screamed wealth for generations.I didn't have a problem staying here until recently when the demands for getting married got out of hand.My phone buzzed in my pocket; I didn't bother checking because I knew it was work, and work could wait, but not an impromptu dinner that was called specifically for me. To make matters

CHAPTER EIGHT

ARIA'S POVThe pressure from keeping up with an multimillion company like the Ashford Group is finally catching up to me. Today is the day we finalize the agreement between us, the day we actually sign the papers that confirm we will be partners for the next few months.I sighed as I pushed open the door of the restaurant, hoping I wouldn't actually have to face him today because I wasn't ready. The prayer seemed to work for a week. The past few days we have been meeting, I haven't even gotten a glimpse of him. He must actually be very busy.Today being the day we will have to finalize the signing, I have a feeling that I will get to see him again, even though he acted like he didn't know me during that first meeting despite the fact that his comments sounded two-faced.Since the moment he dismissed the meeting for a phone call, I haven't stopped thinking about what he wanted to say before the call interrupted.I bit my lower lip as I was directed to the VIP section of the restaurant.

CHAPTER NINE

CHAPTER NINEDOMINIC'S POV"Huh," she said, her eyes widening slightly."Sorry… I didn't mean to intrude," I said, stepping back."He's my ex-fiancé. He cheated, and we're done. Really," she said, then got into the car.Something loosened in my chest almost immediately. I'd thought she was one of those women who slept around for fun. It's nice knowing I wasn't the one she cheated with — and nice knowing she's single, whatever being a rebound might say about me for thinking it.I walked back to my car and stood there a beat, trying to strategize what was going on in my head. I'd promised myself not to get involved with a business partner. But I was the one who'd asked the partner I was involved with to deal with me directly. One on one."Are we still meeting with the head of port infrastructure?" Jorah asked, turning back from the steering wheel."Meeting's cancelled," I said, my attention returning to my phone.I knew how much that meeting meant to Aria. But I had to choose between def

CHAPTER TEN

CHAPTER TENARIA'S POVMy body felt glued to the bed. My limbs felt disconnected from my entire system. Three straight days of bargaining, moving from one model agency to another. I haven't gotten a good rest since.I managed to open my eyes, the room still bright from the floor-to-ceiling windows. I'd finally made it back to my apartment. I pushed myself up, wincing as lack of sleep throbbed behind my eyes like a nasty hangover.Within minutes I was dressed and ready to go back to the company, after almost a week of not attending and two weeks of barely being there. I needed to be in the office to address all the irregularities that followed Ryan's drama.I stepped out of the car in front of the sleek Cole Group tower. The glass facade gleamed under the afternoon sun, a monument to my family's legacy — and the mysteries still buried within it. Heads turned as I crossed the lobby. Whispers followed me into the elevator. I kept my chin high, shoulders back.But the moment I reached the
