Aria had always prided herself on composure. No matter the situation, she maintained control, refusing to let her emotions cloud her judgment. But tonight, as she sat in Heathen’s office, that control felt precariously close to slipping. The tension in the room was palpable, charged with the weight of their earlier exchange and the shadow of Vanessa’s presence lingering in the air. Heathen’s piercing gaze, however, was what truly unraveled her. “You’re staring,” Aria said without looking up from her laptop, her tone clipped. “Am I?” Heathen replied, leaning casually against the edge of his desk. His sleeves were still rolled up, revealing strong forearms, and his tie hung loosely around his neck, giving him an air of effortless authority. “Yes.” She finally glanced up, meeting his eyes. “Don’t you have something better to do?” He smirked, the corner of his mouth quirking up in a way that made her stomach flip. “I’m working. Observing my partner is part of the job.” “Partner

The following day, Aria woke with a strange mix of determination and unease. The events of the yesterday gala still lingered in her mind, and Heathen's intense promise to face Marcus together replayed in her thoughts.She dressed in a sleek navy-blue blouse tucked into high waisted black pants, her demeanor as sharp as her outfit. Heathen had called an emergency meeting with his top advisors, and she knew Vanessa would be there, ready to start the trouble.Arriving at King Enterprises, Aria stepped out of the elevator into the conference room. Vanessa was already there, sitting next to Heathen, her presence in a deliberate and obvious statement. Her black dress hugged her figure perfectly, and her lips curled into a taunting smile as Aria entered.“Oh, Aria,” Vanessa cooed, her tone dripping with mock sweetness. “You’re looking... efficient today.”Aria’s polite smile didn’t waver. “Efficiency gets things done, Vanessa. You should try it sometime.”Vanessa’s eyes narrowed for a frac

Aria straightened her head to examine the luxurious ballroom dancing, where visitors chatted underneath shining lights. The chatter of discussion and the clinking of champagne glasses filled the air, but she couldn't shake the burning feeling of being observed.Heathen's hand lay soothingly on her lower back, providing an affectionate signal of his being present. She sneaked a look at him. Everyone in the room admired his strong jawline, sharp gaze, and dominant presence. But she could feel the workload underneath his composed cool skin.“Stay close,” he murmured softly near her ears, his lips barely moving.“I’m not going anywhere,” Aria replied softly, tilting her head slightly to meet his sharp gaze.The tenderness in his eyes sparkled for a second before he led her to a group of powerful business figures. They exchanged nice greetings, and their conversations focused on current market conditions and future collaborations. While Heathen dominated the discussion ahead, Aria's th

Aria stood in the far corner of an elegant and sleek boardroom at King Enterprises as the early morning sun cast golden waves across the towering buildings of the city. The comforting warmth of Heathen's words from the previous evening still remained in her thoughts, but right now, the real world requested her complete concentration. Her head throbbed with unresolved thoughts about Marcus's plans and the hanging memory of Vanessa's unpleasant behavior.Heathen stepped in very soon later, his flawless suit highlighting his powerful and strong personality. His icy composure dominated the atmosphere, and Aria felt reassured for just a split second. However, when his attention caught hers, a flash of worry flashed on his face. "Did you even fall asleep?" Heathen inquired, his voice pitched so low that only she could hear. She tried to think of an excuse but Heathens intense glare was enough to make all her thoughts about making an excuse vanish.Aria grinned softly while enjoying her

Aria found herself lost in a pile of duties at King Enterprises. Her desk was overflowing with documents, plans, and business discussions, but her mind was far away lost in thoughts of someone else. Marcus' planned threats was another frustration she was dealing with, the danger that had followed them yesterday, and, most importantly, Heathen's change in personality and how he protects and trust her all replayed out in her head like a continuous loop.She felt his power, his stubbornness, and, behind it all, an unsaid intimacy that kept her chest warm throughout the chaos that followed both of them. Now, seated under the bright office lights, she shook her head, attempting to clear up the fuzz in her head because at this point it was getting annoying. This was not a moment for interruptions. There was too much at threat and risk, and her ability to stay focused was essential to the project's progress and, maybe, their own safety. As she was concentrated on her project a loud pie

The following week passed in a flurry of activity and work, but the project’s progress brought a sense of accomplishment to everyone involved. Aria and Heathen had managed to build and improve operations, gaining the trust of King Enterprises’ board and employees. However, they knew the war wasn’t over. Marcus might have backed down for a bit now, but his threat lingered like a shadow over their every move because he won’t back down easily. Late evening in following week, Aria sat in her office, reviewing the revised project timeline and material. Her desk was filled with endless blueprints, contracts, and a steaming cup of hot coffee she had barely touched. The faint chit chatter of the office cleaning staff echoed in the distance, but otherwise, the whole floor was silent. A knock at the door broke her focus and she came out of her trance. “Come in,” she called, her voice filled with fatigue and tiredness. Heathen stepped inside, his undeniable presence filling the room. He wa
