In the Elysian Eve charity ball,Lilian could barely keep her frustration in check as she mentally rolled her eyes at the whole situation. "Great, stuck with you tonight!" She thought, irritation bubbling up.The charity ball was supposed to be this glamorous event, but instead, it was driving her nuts. Ryan was neck-deep in business talk, leaving her to play the part of the dutiful secretary… memorizing names, taking notes, and pointing people out before they even got close. What should’ve been a fancy evening felt more like an exhausting game of cat and mouse.As the night wore on, Lilian started to feel tired, and the drinks she’d had with the guests were giving her a slight buzz. Her stomach was getting a bit queasy, and she really needed a break.“Can I take a break? I need to go to the restroom,” she finally asked, the words coming out more like a plea. She felt trapped by the endless business talk.Ryan nodded, not really paying much attention, and Lilian sighed in relief, prac

“Do I need to send you an invitation to get in the car?”The cold edge in Ryan’s voice made Lilian flinch. His words cut through her hesitation, leaving her no choice but to step forward, though her legs felt like they were made of lead. She slid into the car beside him, the door shutting with a soft click that seemed to echo in the silence.As the car pulled away, Lilian tried to steady her breathing, her heart still pounding from the tense moment. She sneaked a glance at Ryan, her eyes flicking over to see if he was watching her. But his face was as calm and unreadable as ever, his attention seemingly focused on the magazine in his hands.Lilian clenched her hands in her lap, fighting to control the swirl of emotions inside her. She cursed her luck, frustration bubbling up.“Why does this always happen to me?” She thought, feeling bitter. “Every time I try to get away from him, I just end up even more caught in his plan.”Lilian forced herself to keep her eyes on the road ahead, not

Lilian’s POV,I gripped the doorknob with everything I had, my fingers shaking and my breath coming out in ragged gasps. The cold metal under my fingers gave me a tiny bit of strength to stay upright.Ryan’s voice sliced through the air behind me, sharp and threatening, like his words alone could pin me down.“If you ever end up in my bed again, I’ll make sure you’re bound to obey me for the rest of your life. So stay alert, Ms. Sterling.”His threat sent a shiver down my spine. My heart was pounding as I rushed out of his office, my steps shaky and all over the place. I stumbled into my room and slammed the door shut, my hand still trembling. For a moment, I felt a little relief from his piercing gaze.Even with the door shut, I could still feel his anger hanging in the air. Through the glass partition between our office room, I could almost feel his eyes burning through the frosted glass.I stumbled over to my desk, my legs feeling heavy. When I sank into my chair, I tried not to lo

Lilian gasped, too shocked to even fight against Ryan’s grip. His lips were dangerously close to hers, and she could feel his warm breath brushing against her skin.Trembling, she shut her eyes, her heart pounding with more than just fear... the closeness stirred something deep inside her. The lustful thought of his lips claiming hers sent a shiver down her spine.“Stop… please,” she whispered, though it came out sounding more like she wanted him to keep going. Her resolve was crumbling, and she hated herself for it.“Why are you closing your eyes?” Ryan’s whisper instantly snapped her out of her trance.Startled, Lilian’s eyes flew open, meeting his intense gaze. She silently cursed herself for letting her thoughts wander to such dangerous territory.Mumbling under her breath, she tried to push him away, regaining her senses. “Let me go… This is inappropriate.”“Inappropriate?” Ryan feigned innocence, his tone laced with mockery. “What am I doing wrong?”“This is your office. You’re

Lilian’s stomach grumbled again, reminding her she hadn’t eaten. Without hesitation, she grabbed a sandwich and a glass of milk from the tray, quickly getting out of bed.As she chewed on the sandwich, her eyes caught sight of a shopping bag placed on the tray. Attached to it was a note in familiar handwriting."For Ms. Drunken Pig."“Typical,” Lilian muttered under her breath, rolling her eyes. She quickly unpacked the bag and found a sky-blue shirt, a formal office skirt, and a pair of matching shoes.As much as she hated to admit it, her boss had impeccable taste. The outfit was perfect.. classy yet simple, just how she liked it.Not wanting to linger any longer in Ryan’s house, Lilian hurried to freshen up and get dressed. The sooner she could leave, the better. As she quietly opened the door and began sneaking down the stairs, trying to make as little noise as possible, a voice from behind made her freeze in her tracks.“Ms. Sterling, how can I help you?”Lilian turned around, he

The next day in the morning,The room was still dark, the morning sunlight blocked by heavy curtains, and a soft scent of fresh lilac lingered in the air.Lilian groggily woke up, her head feeling heavy. A throbbing pain pulsed inside her skull as she blinked open her tired eyes, still foggy from last night's heavy drinking and sleep. The room was so warm and cozy that she almost snuggled back under the white comforter and drifted off again.Just as she was about to fall asleep, a sarcastic voice came from the corner, "Finally, you're awake!"The voice startled Lilian, jolting her awake. For a moment, she couldn’t figure out who it was and squinted into the dim light. After blinking a few times to clear her vision, she saw a man in a full suit sitting on a fancy two-seater sofa in the corner."Drinking like a pig and snoring like a truck all night! Seriously, that was pretty gross for a woman!" Ryan's voice dripped with sarcasm."What? No way!" Lilian suddenly realized who had been ta
