Pitch Black Outside

Blackmailing a billionaire was Mia Roseford's last shot at keeping her dying sister alive. It was a desperate plan, but desperation was nothing new to her. The moment she walked into Lucas Norwig's office, she believed her hope was finally turning into reality. But something felt off—Lucas's intense gaze, the way he seemed to know her better than she knew him, like he was holding on to something—something she should remember but couldn’t. Lucas had never forgotten her. He met Mia and was in love with her over ten years ago but Mia abandoned him heartbroken and only returning now to threaten him with his past secret that can ruin his reputation. However, instead of paying her off, Lucas decides he’ll make her his wife. If she can't remember the past, he’ll ensure she has no choice but to create a future with him. What starts as an intricate game of leverage and desperation soon spirals into a battlefield of forgotten memories, rekindled feelings, and undeniable passion. Now caught up in an arranged marriage that neither of them exactly planned for, Mia and Lucas must cautiously navigate fields filled with traps of trust and betrayal. As their shared history slowly gets revealed and buried feelings resurface, they are forced to confront the truth about their past. With old enemies lurking in the background and new threats emerging, the question becomes: can they restore what was lost, or will the very secrets that brought them together tear apart their rekindled love?

" You'll have to warm my bed every single night, you will always be available for me. And during this period you will not come in contact with any men- " Mr. Noah puts out his conditions, his voice emitting authority. " I'm not in a relationship with anyone so I won't be having sex with anyone except you, you can trust me on that one. " I reply quickly. " Oh no sweetheart, I'm not talking about that. You will not talk to any man or come in contact with them, as long as you are my mistress. You see I am a bit possessive of my things. " He says with an evil glint in his eyes, standing awfully close to me. " I'm not a thing but a human being. " I object. " Doesn't matter now. You're body is my property for the entire month. " He replies carelessly. " As I was saying, you'll be my mistress and work for me in this office at the same time. You'll be my personal secretary. Make coffee, fetch me lunch, mop the floors if I say so and much more." He states. " And one more thing waitress, I hate disobedience and disrespect. Make sure you have no trace of that when appearing in front of me or else I'll make you hate your existence." He threatens, who does he think of himself to be, God? I just nod to his unfair demands, bowing my head down. This is more like slavery. But what other choice do I have?
