Twisted Vows Of Desire
Elena Sinclair, an ambitious investigative journalist, wakes up after a reckless one-night stand with a dangerously attractive stranger—only to discover he is none other than Dominic Caldwell, the ruthless billionaire CEO of Caldwell Enterprises and the sworn enemy of her family.
Before she can fully process her mistake, she learns that her father, a powerful senator, has secretly arranged her marriage—to Dominic. The shocking revelation sends her life into chaos, but when her father’s political career is threatened by a dark scandal, she’s given a choice: marry Dominic to secure her family’s reputation or risk losing everything.
What she doesn’t know is that Dominic has his own motives for the marriage. What starts as a forced arrangement quickly turns into a war of wills. Passion ignites, secrets unravel, and their mutual hatred becomes something far more dangerous.
But there’s one more secret—Dominic is hiding a forbidden connection that could shatter everything Elena believes about love, trust, and betrayal.

Chapter: Chapter 5: A Battle of Fire and IceI didn’t sleep.How could I?Dominic Caldwell had played me, twisted my loyalty into a noose, and left me standing in the ruins of my own choices.My father’s scandal was now public.Dominic had betrayed me.And worse, I was still his—trapped in a marriage I had no way of escaping.By the time the sun rose, I had made a decision.If Dominic wanted a war, I’d give him one.****The next morning, I didn’t wait for him to summon me.I stormed into the dining room, where he sat at the long mahogany table, sipping his coffee like he hadn’t just burned my world to the ground.He barely glanced up. “You’re up early.”I slammed a newspaper onto the table—the same one detailing my father’s downfall. “You used me.”Dominic sighed, setting his cup down. “We’ve already established that.”I clenched my fists. “Then let’s establish something else. This marriage? It’s over.”A slow, mocking smile spread across his lips. “You really think that’s up to you?”“I won’t be your pawn.”“You already are,”

Chapter: Chapter 4: The Taste of BetrayalI should have stopped it.I should have shoved him away and reminded him that this marriage was nothing but a contract.But the moment Dominic’s lips claimed mine, every rational thought burned to ash.His hand gripped my waist, pulling me closer. My fingers curled into his suit, betraying me, holding him instead of pushing him away. The taste of him—powerful, intoxicating, dangerous—made my head spin.This was a mistake.A fatal one.I pulled back, breathless. “This doesn’t mean anything.”Dominic’s smirk was lethal. “Keep telling yourself that, Sinclair.”I glared at him. “You don’t own me.”His fingers traced my jaw, his touch deceptively gentle. “Then why are you shaking?”Damn him.I forced myself to step away, ignoring the heat still coursing through my veins. “That won’t happen again.”Dominic leaned against the elevator doors, watching me like a predator indulging in his favorite prey. “We’ll see.”The worst part?I wasn’t sure if he was wrong.****The following morning, my p

Chapter: Chapter 3: A Dangerous GameI should have lied.I should have looked Dominic Caldwell in the eye and told him that Liam meant nothing to me.But I hesitated.And in that hesitation, I gave him my answer.The phone in his hand was still lit, the image of Liam and me frozen on the screen. A memory I had buried—now resurrected as a weapon.Dominic’s expression remained unreadable, but the tension in the air was suffocating.“You didn’t answer me,” he said, voice calm. Too calm.I swallowed hard. “It doesn’t matter.”His gaze flickered with something dark. “It does to me.”I forced myself to hold his stare. “Liam is in the past. This marriage is about the present.”Dominic tilted his head, studying me like I was a puzzle he intended to solve. Then, without another word, he turned and tossed the phone onto a nearby table.I exhaled, tension coiled in my spine, waiting for the storm.But when he finally spoke, his voice was almost amused. “You think you’re in control here, don’t you?”A chill ran down my spine. “I thi

Chapter: Chapter 2: A War of VowsI should have walked away.I should have told Dominic Caldwell to go straight to hell.Instead, I sat across from him, trapped in a deal I didn’t fully understand yet. My father’s scandal was being buried as we spoke, my family’s legacy preserved—but at what cost?I wasn’t stupid.Dominic didn’t save people. He destroyed them.And now, I was bound to him by a contract as unbreakable as the iron in his eyes.I forced myself to hold his gaze. “You said you’re destroying my father, not saving him. What does that mean?”He took his time answering, leaning back in his chair like a king surveying his latest conquest.“It means,” he said slowly, “that your father is drowning in his own corruption. I just decided when and how he would sink.”A chill crept up my spine. “You planned this from the beginning.”A smirk ghosted across his lips. “Would you believe me if I said it was fate?”I slammed my hands on his desk. “This isn’t a game, Dominic.”His eyes darkened. “It’s always a game, Sinclair

Chapter: Chapter 1: The Mistake That Changed EverythingI woke up to the scent of expensive cologne and sin.The sheets were silk, the mattress too soft—definitely not mine. A sharp ache throbbed behind my temples as I blinked against the morning light filtering through floor-to-ceiling windows.And then I saw him.Dominic Caldwell.Lying beside me.Naked.My stomach twisted. My pulse pounded so hard I thought I might pass out. My mouth parted, but no sound came out as the memories crashed into me like a violent storm.The gala. The champagne. The heated argument that had turned into something far more dangerous.Oh, God.I shoved the sheets aside, ignoring the way my bare skin prickled with mortification. The night came back in flashes—his hands gripping my waist, his lips on my throat, his voice like dark velvet whispering things I shouldn’t have wanted.What the hell had I done?I needed to leave. Now.I swung my legs over the side of the bed, reaching for my dress on the floor. But before I could grab it, a deep, lazy voice stopped me.
