Ruthless Temptation
Emma Scott has always had it all—wealth, beauty, and power. As the privileged daughter of a business tycoon, she ruled her university years with confidence, arrogance, and an undeniable presence. But beneath her sharp tongue and ruthless attitude was an obsession she never dared to name—Killian Thomas, the one man who never bowed to her.
Killian, a hardworking scholarship student from a middle-class background, despised Emma for the torment she put him through. She was cruel, entitled, and always seemed to have a target on his back. But when one heated argument after class turns into something far more physical, their hatred transforms into an addiction neither of them can resist.
What starts as secret, no-strings-attached encounters after lectures spirals into something far more dangerous. They become study partners, but their breaks are filled with untamed passion. One night, they get locked inside the library and spend the entire night indulging in their darkest desires. Their obsession only grows stronger.
Upon graduation, Killian is offered a job at Emma’s father’s company, the very place where Emma works. Their sinful rendezvous continue in secret—stolen moments in offices, forbidden trysts during business trips. They think they’re careful, but when Emma’s father catches them in a compromising position overseas, their affair is exposed.
Faced with an ultimatum, Emma refuses to back down. She confesses that her bullying was always a twisted way of masking her love for Killian. She threatens to leave everything behind if her father dares to fire him.
Forced to confront their true feelings, Emma and Killian finally make their relationship official. But even after marriage, their hunger for each other remains insatiable—whether at home, at work, or in places they should never be.
Their passion is reckless. Their love is ruthless. And their temptation?

Chapter: Chapter 87 – Back to Reality, Still BurningKillian’s POVComing home after a trip like that should’ve felt like a letdown.But it didn’t.Not when Emma slid her hand into mine the moment we stepped into the house, eyes still sparkling with leftover magic from Dubai. Not when our kids came running into our arms, shouting and laughing and clinging to us like they hadn’t seen us in a decade.And not when we caught each other’s gaze across the kitchen, both of us thinking about that candlelit balcony, that last night, and the thousand little ways we had rediscovered each other.We were back in our world of diapers, conference calls, and late-night emails—but something had shifted.We were still burning.That night, after putting the kids to bed and making sure the house was quiet, I walked into the living room and found Emma curled on the couch in one of my old T-shirts, hair damp from the shower.She looked up at me and smiled slowly. “You thinking what I’m thinking?”I crossed the room and pulled her into my lap. “If you’re thin

Chapter: Unexpected Reunion Killian’s POV The scent of freshly brewed espresso mixed with sterile office air slapped me as I stepped into the glass building. Towering over the skyline, the headquarters of Scott Enterprises was a palace of corporate power, something I’d never imagined I’d be a part of. I adjusted the collar of my fitted blazer, my palms damp despite the air-conditioning. This job was supposed to be a fresh start. I’d graduated with honors, my resume stacked with internships and academic achievements. I wanted to prove myself without handouts, without drama. But the moment I saw the company logo, a small pit had begun to form in my stomach. Scott. The name brought a memory like a slap Emma. I hadn’t seen her since graduation. Our last night together had felt like an ending. The kind of goodbye that burned into your memory and refused to fade. We hadn’t exchanged numbers, hadn’t made promises. Just intense, reckless sex and the unspoken weight of something real neither of us dared to ackn

Chapter: The Last Night Emma’s POV The night before graduation was supposed to be simple drinks with classmates, a few laughs, a toast to the years that flew by too quickly. But I didn’t want simplicity. Not tonight. I sat on the edge of the fountain outside the campus library, the stone cool beneath my bare thighs, my graduation robe pooled beside me. The moonlight bathed the stone pathways in silver, and yet, all I could think about was Killian. This was our last night. The last time we’d be in this space. In this strange limbo between hate and lust. I should’ve been relieved. Instead, a quiet ache curled beneath my ribs. When I saw him walking toward me, that familiar swagger in his step, hands shoved into his pockets, hair tousled from the wind, my heart thudded so hard I was afraid he’d hear it. “You’re late,” I said, forcing the teasing lilt into my voice even though my throat was tight. “I figured you’d wait,” he replied simply, eyes raking over me. And God, I was already melting.

Chapter: :What Comes After Emma’s POV The university grounds buzzed with the kind of excitement only the end of a semester could bring. Students posed in graduation robes near the ivy-covered arches, champagne bottles popped in the quad, and seniors wandered around in dazed nostalgia, already mourning the end of an era. But for me, it didn’t feel like an ending. Not really. It felt like a cliff I was being pushed toward one I didn’t know how to leap from. I stood at the window of the student union building, watching a group of girls giggle as they snapped pictures in their gowns. My gown was still in its box. I hadn’t even taken it out. Behind me, the room was quiet, except for the rustle of pages. Killian sat on the floor with his back against the wall, reviewing final notes for our last economics paper. His hair was messy from his fingers constantly running through it, and he had that familiar furrow between his brows

Chapter: Rekindling Romance Amidst Diapers & MeetingsKillian’s POVI’d closed billion-dollar deals with less stress than trying to get a baby to nap.My arms were starting to go numb as I gently bounced our six-week-old daughter, Ava, against my chest. Her tiny cheek pressed into my shoulder, warm breath puffing against my skin, her fingers curled tightly around the fabric of my t-shirt like letting go meant she might fall into the abyss of baby nightmares again.Emma was in the living room, giving a pitch via Zoom to the Paris-based luxury brand her team had been courting for the past six months. Her voice came through the baby monitor loud and crisp—confident, articulate, the kind of commanding presence that made boardrooms go silent.And here I was, pacing in footie pajamas, humming a lullaby I barely remembered the lyrics to.But I wouldn’t trade it.This was my new battlefield. This was our new life.And I was in it for the long haul.“Shh, come on, baby girl…” I whispered softly. Her crying had died down to soft hiccups, and I exh

Chapter: Caught in the ActKillian’s POVWe weren’t supposed to be in here.The faculty lounge was strictly off-limits to students—especially after hours. But Emma didn’t give a damn about rules. That much had become crystal clear since the first time she dragged me into an empty classroom and kissed me like she hated me for breathing.Now, she’d gone and swiped the keycard from her father’s assistant—of course she had—and was perched on the long leather couch with a smirk that could bring any man to his knees.“Are you seriously dragging me into another illegal hookup?” I asked, shutting the door behind us and locking it.Emma leaned back, crossing her legs slowly, her short plaid skirt rising scandalously high. “You didn’t seem to complain last time.”“Yeah, because last time was a supply closet and we got away with it.”She raised a brow. “You’re scared now?”I stepped closer, tension sparking between us like flint on steel. “Of gettin
