A beautiful strength in your submission.” He let her rest against him until her breathing was steady, her mind clear. “When you are ready, you may get dressed,” he said finally. “There is no expectation beyond tonight. But if you wish to explore further… my card is on the table by your purse.” Maya dressed slowly, every movement reminding her of the evening’s sensations, the pleasant ache in her muscles, the warm sting on her skin, the deep, satiated throb between her legs. She picked up the plain black card from her purse. Just a phone number and an email address.

“How so?” Maya laughed softly. “Let’s just say she’s not exactly… from our world.” A pause. “She’s sweet,” Maya continued, her voice dripping with false generosity. “But she’s had a bit of a colorful past, you know. She tends to… attach herself to men with influence.” The woman’s brows lifted slightly. “Bryan Blackwood is… generous,” Maya added, shrugging. “He likes projects.” At another table, Maya leaned toward a man in his fifties, a board member of a multinational conglomerate.

RYDER'S POV Maya bounces up to Ryder, her bright smile lighting up her face with a calculated, practiced radiance. She wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him down with a sudden, jarring force, and plants a kiss squarely on his lips. Her mouth is soft, tasting of artificial strawberry gloss, but the contact feels invasive, like a violation of the air he breathes. Ryder doesn’t push her away. He stands there, his body rigid, a statue trapped in a moment he despises, and kisses her back. It’s a mechanical motion, lips moving without passion, his eyes still locked on Adrian over Maya’s shoulder.

"I don't know how many times I would tell you, . "We're partners." "We face everything together." She pulled back. Still smiling through tears. "I love how safe I feel with you." My heart nearly stopped. "So do I." I reached into my pocket again. "And one more thing." She blinked. "There's more?" I handed her a gold bank card. She looked confused. "What is this?" "I opened an account for you." "I transferred enough money so you don't have to worry." She stared at me. Alex...OMG!! You did all this..."

I froze. “Women like Amber are like makapuno coconuts—tough shell on the outside, but once you finally break through, what’s left is the soft, sweet jelly,” Marcus said with a low, smug chuckle. “And trust me… it’s only a matter of time before I crack that shell.” He burst into loud laughter, reacting to whatever the person on the other end said.

That’s definitely great news,” he replied, his eyes glinting with pure excitement. “Yeah, sure it is,” I muttered, my voice dropping low during the moment of realization. “Hey Maya… what’s wrong?” Maddox asked, studying me. “Hmm, nothing,” I answered quickly.

Or was it because you didn’t want him seeing you looking anything less than beautiful? “Whatever,” I mumbled low, grabbed my black leather bag, and walked out the door. My heels clicked softly on the floor as I left my bedroom. The moment I stepped into the lobby of Banks Holdings, Patra was the first to see me. She froze with a coffee cup halfway to her lips.
