After Our First Kiss, He Begged to Own Me
Alex Morgan had stopped believing in love.
Born gay in a world that rarely showed him kindness, Alex spent years chasing relationships that ended in disappointment. The last heartbreak—his painful breakup with Chris John—left him emotionally shattered and determined never to open his heart again.
But fate had other plans.
One night, while Alex sat alone in his office at Reed Holdings, quietly crying after another lonely day, the last person he expected suddenly walked through the door—Jamie Reed, the mysterious and untouchable CEO of the company.
Jamie was powerful, cold, and impossibly wealthy—a man rumored to have ice in his veins and zero interest in romance. Yet instead of leaving, Jamie lifted Alex’s chin, studied his tear-stained face… and kissed him.
That single kiss ignited a secret neither of them could ignore.
Their hidden relationship soon grows intense, passionate, and dangerously addictive. Jamie refuses to stay away from Alex, visiting him night after night until rumors begin spreading through the office and beyond. Powerful people begin watching.
Just as Alex decides to run away before becoming the center of a scandal that could destroy Jamie’s reputation, Jamie makes a shocking request.
He begs Alex to let him claim him—completely.
Within hours, they sign a marriage certificate.
But marrying a billionaire is not a fairy tale.
Alex suddenly finds himself surrounded by enemies—jealous lovers from Jamie’s past, ambitious business rivals, manipulative friends, and dangerous secrets buried deep within Jamie’s empire.
As threats grow darker and betrayals surface, Alex must decide if their love is strong enough to survive the storm.
Because in Light City, power comes with a price.
And loving Jamie Reed might cost Alex everything.
