Client Vine

When a mafia boss who wields power behind the scenes of society’s elite meets the wife of his wealthiest client, desire becomes a dangerous game. Every glance, every word, threatens to unravel the empire he’s meticulously built, and resisting her seems impossible. He has rules, lines he will never cross — but she awakens something he thought was long buried: longing, obsession, and an all-consuming temptation. She is intelligent, graceful, and untouchable… yet somehow, she disrupts everything he stands for. Protecting her while maintaining his control over his empire becomes a tightrope walk, and every careful step risks betrayal. As he fights the desire that could ruin him, secrets begin to unravel, loyalties are tested, and the line between right and wrong blurs. Every choice has consequences, and in this world of power, money, and obsession, one misstep could destroy them all. Dark, forbidden, and irresistible, The Client’s Wife: A Treason of Touch is a story of love that comes at a cost — a love that tempts, betrays, and ultimately destroys.

My superior loved tricking me into wearing tight-fitting pencil skirts to serve wine to sleazy clients while sticking close to them. Then, she would hint that I was single and a valid target while she excitedly waited for the clients to make a move on me. It was all in the name of checking the integrity of the clients and whether they were worthy business partners or not. The moment a client fell for it, she would rush over with righteous anger and throw wine in their faces. Then, she would lecture me with a voice heavy with anguish. “Do you lack money so much that you’d throw your dignity away just for better results?” She would trample all over my dignity to set up her image as a refined, noble woman. This time, she even prepared a gown with a super low neckline and pushed me to serve a client with a rich and powerful background. She threatened me by saying that if I did not go, she would deduct my bonus for three whole months of full attendance. But when I saw the familiar, cold man sitting in the seat of honor, it was my turn to laugh. If my brother saw me serving wine in this kind of dress, I did not doubt that by tomorrow, the company would be under my name.

Vivienne Marsh restores paintings for a living she has spent her whole career putting cracked, damaged, half-ruined things back together and pretending it doesn't remind her of her own family. When Voss Enterprises calls her studio about authenticating a damaged portrait, she walks into the coldest, most beautiful office she's ever seen and meets the man behind the voice on the phone and in the four minutes before she learns his name, she forgets, entirely, how to breathe normally. Then she learns his name. And his proposal. Damian Voss needs a wife by his thirty-fifth birthday or he loses controlling interest in the company his grandfather built to a board that will gut it, and to a cousin who will finally get to prove he was always the more ruthless Voss. Vivienne's late father owes Voss Enterprises a debt large enough to bury her gallery and her family's name. Damian offers her a contract, marries him for eighteen months, and the debt disappears. No feelings required. No questions asked. Just a ring, a signature, and a very convincing performance for a board of directors who will be watching for cracks.

My family owned Belgard Estate, a historic wine property that had recently gone viral after serving as the backdrop for a series of advertisements and product livestreams. On one occasion, my butler and I could not even enter the grounds. Influencers crowded the entrance, phones raised, security overwhelmed. My fiancée apologized. "The mayor wanted to borrow the estate, dear. I couldn't tell him no," she said. "Just bear with it for a while, okay? Once the trend dies down, I'll have them all cleared out. Trust me." I trusted her. I never raised the issue again. Some time later, my grandfather prepared to celebrate his 90th birthday. I returned to the estate to retrieve our finest vintage for the occasion, only to find myself nearly crushed by a shrieking crowd packed outside the gates. I slipped away and made my way to the back entrance after someone in the crowd called me a "free-riding bum." Bewildered, I was ready to present proof of ownership when a woman shouted over the noise, "Didn't you hear? Miss LePenn has already announced that Belgard Estate has been given to Jacques Martin! I don't care how big a fan you are of him. You still have to buy a ticket to see him like the rest of us!" I stood there, stunned. Jacques? The first man I had ever allowed to use this estate for a product livestream? It belonged to him now? And since when had Sylvia become the mistress of this place? Since when did she even have a boyfriend? Enough was enough. It was time to bring these people's business with Belgard Estate to an end.

"What do you want from me, Vin?" She whispers. Her eyes linger all over my face and settle on my lips and she bites hers. Fuck me. I will beg on my knees to have her. To fulfill all the fantasies haunting my dreams since we parted. " I want you, baby. I will always want you. Every day of my life" I honestly whisper, begging her with my eyes. "And why didn't you wait for me?" Her scowl returns as she tries to push me away" You claim to have been waiting for me, yet you fuck anything with a damn hole. Is that what you want from me, a quick fuck?" She screams in my face and I grit my teeth in annoyance. "Then fuck me and get the hell out of my house" Eva yells and I quickly pull away as if she just burnt me. "That is not what I want Eva, you are being ridiculous" Eva chuckles and lifts her dress and takes it off. I groan warning her to stop but she doesn't listen. She takes off the holster holding two daggers and tosses them on the floor. Eva and Vin grow up in an orphanage together. Circumstances lead them to part ways, and when they meet again, they are completely different people from what they used to be. Can their love keep them together from the worlds they find themselves in, or what they had was just childish fantasies?
