Tame Me, Mr Black 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

The sound of my heart shattering was louder than the rain violently pelting the windshield.I sat in my parked car outside his building, staring at my phone. My hands were shaking so badly I could barely hold it. The anonymous video played on a loop. Julian. My perfect, wealthy fiancé. The man I was supposed to marry in three months.He was in bed with someone else. His blonde secretary, Vanessa.Oh my God. Is this really happening? Please, let this be a nightmare. I thought, my stomach lurching violently. I pinched my arm hard enough to bruise, praying I would wake up in my own bed.But I didn't wake up. The video kept playing. The sounds of their moans filled the quiet car, mocking me.I didn't bother knocking when I got to his penthouse. I used my key, my heels clicking furiously against the marble floor of the foyer. The place smelled like expensive vanilla candles and her cheap perfume.The bedroom door was cracked open. The sound of skin slapping against skin echoed down the hal

This can't be happening to me right now.My purse hit the floor, the sound echoing like a gunshot in the massive, silent office. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move. I just stared at him.Lucian Black leaned against his mahogany desk, holding up the pathetic little hotel note I had left. His gray eyes burned with dark, predatory amusement."You," I breathed, my voice barely a whisper."Me," he said smoothly. His voice was just as deep and commanding as it had been in the dark. "Imagine my surprise when I walked into my office this morning and saw the name Seraphina Vance on my interview schedule."Oh my God. The room tilted. I gripped the back of the leather chair to keep from fainting."I... I have to go," I stammered, turning toward the door. "I'm not qualified for this job.""Stop."That single word cracked through the room. My feet froze against my will."You're not going anywhere, little angel," Lucian said. I heard him walk toward me, the soft click of his expensive shoes on the

His wife?The word hit me like a physical blow, knocking the air straight out of my lungs. My heart stopped, then started hammering against my ribs so hard I felt dizzy.What the hell? Are you for real right now? I just signed a contract to be his fake wife, and he already has a real one?Panic, cold and sharp, shot through my veins. I had just escaped one cheating liar, and I had walked right into the trap of another. I clutched the silk sheet tightly to my chest, my hands trembling. I slid off the bed and crept toward the bedroom door, peering out into the living room.Lucian was standing in the middle of the room, his gun still raised. But his posture had changed. The murderous rage was gone, replaced by a cold, icy irritation."Vivienne," Lucian said, his voice completely devoid of emotion. "You have five seconds to explain why you broke into my penthouse before I throw you off the balcony."I peeked around the doorframe.A woman stood by the shattered remains of a crystal vase. S

I stared at the crumpled photograph, my heart hammering against my ribs.Who is she? Why did he cross her face out?My mind raced with terrifying possibilities. Was she an ex-girlfriend? An enemy? Or something much worse?Before I could think any further, the bedroom door suddenly swung open.I gasped, dropping the photo like it was on fire.Lucian stood in the doorway. He had removed his jacket and tie, and his white dress shirt was unbuttoned at the collar. He looked exhausted, but the moment his eyes landed on the photo on the floor, his entire demeanor changed.The cold mask shattered. Pure, lethal rage flashed in his gray eyes."Where did you get that?" he demanded, his voice dangerously low."I... it fell out of your jacket," I stammered, backing up against the headboard.Lucian crossed the room in three long strides. He bent down, snatched the photo off the floor, and shoved it into his pocket."You had no right to touch that," he growled, his face inches from mine."I'm sorry,

The line went dead.For one terrifying second, the penthouse was completely silent. The only sound was the violent pounding of my heart against my ribs.Is this really happening? Is she actually going to blow up the building?Then Lucian moved.He didn't panic. He didn't shout. The cold, ruthless CEO mask shattered completely, replaced by a primal, terrifying need to protect what was his."Move," he barked, grabbing my hand so hard my bones ached.He dragged me away from the elevator and toward the heavy steel door of the emergency stairwell."What about the elevator?" I gasped, stumbling in my bare feet, my silk robe flapping around my legs."It's a death trap," he growled, throwing the stairwell door open so hard it slammed against the concrete wall. "The stairs are our only way out. Go!"He pushed me in front of him, his hand resting heavily on my lower back, practically shoving me down the first flight of stairs.We started running.Forty floors down. The stairwell was dimly lit a
