Mouth curved in a grin that definitely meant trouble. I did my routine—pee, wash hands, splash my face, brush my teeth. Practical. Normal. Then I looked at myself again. “…fuck it.” I slipped the outfit on carefully, adjusting the garters, tugging the fabric smooth over my hips. It was absurdly short.

When I stepped out of the bathroom, the room went silent.

My eyes enlightened when I found them wearing masks. I guessed it right. I did it and that too in a very short time. I watched them as they collected some of the dresses and walked towards me. They threw the dresses on the counter and told me to pack them as usual. But this time I didn't pack them. I stood up and grabbed the dresses as I walked past them and hung them again. I turned around to face them and they all were looking at me with a 'do you want to die' expression.

Keeping a wide, icy distance from his heat feels like the smartest play for my survival. Drying my damp, dark hair with a rough towel, I saunter slowly into the massive walk-in closet to snag some loose silk pajama bottoms. But once inside the mirror-lined room, I do not pull the fabric over my skin right away. I park my bare boots right in front of the glass, giving my reflection a long, hard look under the low lights. I have been trapped in that plain, ugly rogue disguise for so long that my mind had almost forgotten what my real face actually looked like. With no plotting alphas or jealous captains around to cramp my style, I finally feel free to let my guard drop completely.

" My heart stumbled. Red velvet cake? I forced a smile. "All right," I said lightly. "I'll come. But there's no need to send a car. If Anna finds out, she'll cause trouble. I'll wear a mask. If someone sees me and tells her, it will create unnecessary drama." Lorenzo nodded without hesitation. "As you wish," he said. "As long as you come." … When I returned home, Anna and our mother were waiting by the door. After I told them what had happened, Anna struck me across the face.

Even without any experience with men, she knew that it's hard for someone to be open and honest to a stranger. And Eva is someone who knows how to appreciate.

The closet door swung open entirely, flooding the dim alcove with the bright, harsh fluorescent light of the service hallway. Instinct took over. Jeremy instantly stepped directly in front of me, his towering, broad shoulders completely blocking my body from view. His back was turned entirely to the doorway, his head ducked low into the shadows of the top shelf, hiding his face completely. I was trapped between his chest and the wall, frantically holding the back of my unzipped dress together with both hands. Maya stopped dead in the doorway. Her eyes went wide as she stared into the closet. From her angle, in the blinding light, she couldn't see the guy’s face at all. His dark hair and hunc

Ariana Vance agrees to a paper marriage to Damon Sterling — the ruthless, untouchable billionaire — to save her family’s collapsing empire. The deal is simple: two years as his perfect, obedient wife, then a quiet divorce. No feelings. No expectations. No love. But Damon isn’t the cold, heartless man the world sees. Behind his icy armor lies a man scarred by loneliness and burdened by a dangerous legacy.

I whine and sit at the edge of the bed. "I'd rather see you without it," he shifts forward to sit beside me, I turn my face in the opposite direction not wanting him to see my flushed face.
