Claire was in the middle of writing up notes from her last session, her pen gliding over the paper with the efficiency of years of practice. The sound of her door opening interrupted her focus, and she looked up to see Julia, her ever-reliable receptionist, standing in the doorway with a small, unmarked parcel in her hands.“Dr. Holloway, this just arrived for you,” Julia said, stepping forward and placing the parcel on Claire’s desk with a faint clink.Claire glanced up, her brow furrowing with mild curiosity. “Thank you, Julia,” she replied, her eyes shifting to the package. There was something unsettling about it, a sense of foreboding that she couldn’t quite place.Julia hesitated for a moment, her intuition clearly picking up on the same unsettling vibe. “Is everything alright, Dr. Holloway?” she asked, her voice tinged with concern.Claire gave her a reassuring smile, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Yes, everything’s fine. I’ll take a look at it. Thank you, Julia.”Julia

PROLOGUEIn the bustling metropolis of New York City, where ambition prowled the streets like a hungry beast, two contrasting souls found themselves intertwined in a dance of power and submission.At the heart of this tale stood Cadence, a delicate flower amidst the concrete jungle. With her soft-spoken demeanor and gentle nature, she seemed an unlikely candidate to command the boardrooms of a multinational empire. Yet fate had woven her into the fabric of Alberto Corporation, where she ascended to the lofty position of CEO despite her perceived shortcomings in academia.Opposite her stood Alberto, the embodiment of dominance and ambition.

**TRIGGER WARNINGS** The mansion hall was enveloped in an eerie silence, broken only by the soft ticking of a grandfather clock in the corner. At one end of the room sat the formidable figure of the great businessman, known for his cruelty and sadistic nature, perched on the plush couch with an air of authority. Facing him, his father sat, his expression a mix of resignation and apprehension, anticipating the weight of the impending discussion. The absence of any house staff only heightened the tension in the room, amplifying the already palpable awkwardness. Normally bustling with activity, the hall now felt like a deserted battlefield, the silence serving as a prelude to the clash of wills about to unfold between father and son. Breaking the silence, Alberto’s father spoke with authority, his words carrying weight in the vast hall. “Whatever the reason may be, you cannot marry her.” Alberto’s brows furrowed in frustration. “Just because she’s younger doesn’t mean anything, Dad.

The next day dawned with a sense of renewal in the air. Cadence woke up with a slight soreness in her backside, a physical reminder of the previous night’s punishment. Yet, alongside the discomfort, there was also a feeling of clarity and resolution within her.As she made her way downstairs, Cadence found Alberto already in the kitchen, preparing breakfast with a focused determination. She approached him tentatively, unsure of how to broach the events of the previous evening.Alberto glanced up from his task, his eyes softening at the sight of her. Without a word, he gestured for her to join him at the table, where a simple yet comforting breakfast awaited them.Sitting across from each other, Cadence and Alberto shared a moment of quiet reflection, the air thick with unspoken emotions. Finally, Cadence gathered the courage to speak.“About last night,” she began, her voice hesitant yet earnest. “I just want you to know that I understand why you had to punish me. I… I deserved it.”Al
**TRIGGER WARNINGS**Cadence’s heart sank as Alberto’s words settled over her like a heavy weight. She knew she had to accept the consequences of her actions, no matter how difficult they might be. Without a word, she nodded in acquiescence, steeling herself for what was to come.“Strip and lie on the bed,” Alberto ordered, his voice firm but not unkind.Cadence hesitated for a moment, her cheeks burning with embarrassment, but she knew she had no choice. Slowly, she began to undress, the weight of Alberto’s disappointment heavy upon her. Once she was bare, she climbed onto the bed and lay down, her heart pounding in her chest.Alberto stood at the foot of the bed, his expression solemn as he prepared to administer her punishment. Cadence braced herself, knowing what was about to happen but dreading it all the same.The sound of Alberto unbuckling his belt filled the room, sending a shiver down Cadence’s spine. She closed her eyes tightly, trying to steel herself for the pain to come.
Alberto’s gaze bore into Cadence as she stood before him, her head bowed in submission. The weight of her failure hung heavily in the air, casting a shadow over the room as they both grappled with the consequences of her actions.Silence stretched between them, punctuated only by the soft sound of Cadence’s uneven breaths. Alberto’s expression remained impassive, his features set in a mask of stern resolve as he contemplated the punishment that awaited her.Finally, he spoke, his voice low and measured. “You understand why you’re here, don’t you?” he asked, his tone leaving no room for doubt.Cadence nodded silently, her throat tight with emotion. She knew she had disappointed Alberto, and now she had to face the consequences of her failure.Without another word, Alberto gestured for Cadence to come closer. Reluctantly, she obeyed, moving to stand before him as he remained seated on the couch.With a heavy sigh, Alberto reached out to grasp Cadence’s chin, tilting her head up to meet
**TRIGGER WARNINGS**With each spank, Cadence’s breath hitched and her body flinched involuntarily. The stinging sensation spread across her skin, a constant reminder of her transgression. Yet, despite the pain, she remained obedient, counting each strike aloud as Alberto had commanded.“Two,” she gasped as Alberto’s hand connected with her skin once again, the force of the impact sending a shock wave through her body.The sound of each spank reverberated in the room, filling the air with an uncomfortable tension. Cadence’s mind raced as she tried to endure the punishment, her thoughts consumed by a mixture of pain and shame.“Three,” she whispered, her voice strained as she struggled to maintain her composure.As Alberto continued to deliver the punishment, Cadence felt herself sinking deeper into a state of submission. The physical pain was accompanied by a sense of emotional release, a catharsis born from the acknowledgment of her wrongdoing.“Four,” she uttered, her voice barely a
