Synopsis: Kayla Marshall’s life takes a dark turn when she is forced into a contract with Adrian Blackwood, a ruthless billionaire whose charm is as dangerous as his secrets. What begins as a desperate attempt to save her family quickly spirals into a world of power plays, forbidden desires, and unspoken rules. Bound by Adrian's control, Kayla must navigate a life where trust is a currency and vulnerability is a weapon. As she peels back the layers of his secretive world, she discovers that the lines between dominance and obsession, submission and strength, are far more blurred than she ever imagined. But in a game where Adrian makes the rules, will Kayla find the strength to rewrite them? The stakes are high, the tension electric—and in this world, control is everything.

Beneath The CEOs Control Chapter eight: Secrets in the shadows
Kayla’s POVThe house is quiet—too quiet. Adrian had for work left hours ago, his parting words sharp and commanding: "Stay out of trouble. You don’t want to incur my wrath."Trouble. The word had lingered in the air, constantly reminding me. Adrian had no idea just how much trouble I could stir.Now, standing in the center of his vast living room, I feel the weight of curiosity pressing down on me. Every room in this mansion screams power and secrecy, and I’m determined to peel back the layers of Adrian Blackwood.I take a tentative step toward the hallway leading to his private quarters. The air feels heavier here, as if the house itself is warning me to turn back. But I don’t.I find myself in front of a door—locked, of course. A keypad blinks beside it, and I curse under my breath. Of course, he’d have top-notch security.“Think, Kayla,” I mutter to myself, glancing around. My eyes land on a drawer in a nearby table. With a surge of hope, I pull it open and find exactly what I’m l

Kayla’s breath heightened as Adrian stood before her, his piercing gaze making her feel both vulnerable and trapped in the moment. The air between them felt intense, thick with tension that had been building ever since their last meeting. “You’re late baby girl,” Adrian’s voice was smooth but commanding. His hand rested on the top of the chair , his posture calm and relaxed , but everything about him screamed control. “I'm so sorry" she panicked, her heart racing. “ you know what happens when you break the rules right?” he asked, moving closer to her, the faint scent of his cologne intoxicating her senses. Kayla swallowed, unable to speak. She’d been warned—warned about every lesson, every step she’d need to take to avoid punishment. She knew the stakes. Adrian’s eyes darkened, a flicker of something dangerous crossing his face. “Let me remind you. Lesson three: complete obedience.” He stepped closer until she could feel the heat of his body brushing against hers. His warm breath

Kayla's pov A sharp knock awakens me. I groan silently, thinking it will make the person go away, but the person didn't stop knocking rather increasing the tempo of the knocks. Before I can react, the door swings open. “Get your ass up,” Adrian’s commanding voice echoes through the room. My eyes open immediately, and there he is standing casually in my room. He's also dressed casually too..... “What the hell?” I mutter, pulling the covers tighter around me. Adrian strides into the room, his movements predatory. “You don’t get to sleep in, Kayla. Not in my house, and certainly not in my world.” “Ever heard of knocking?” I snap, sitting up. “I did. You ignored it.” His eyes rake over me, and I suddenly feel exposed despite being covered. “What do you want?” I demand, trying to match his intensity. Adrian’s smirk is cold and sharp. “Lesson one starts today.” “Lesson one?” He steps closer and climbs on the bed, the bed goes down slightly under his weight as he leans in towards

Kayla's povThe silence in the car is driving me crazy as we drive back to Adrian's mansion. My mind is all over the place, from the extravagant club to the dimly lit rooms and the exotic dancers, to the morally inappropriate activities going on in the rooms. And according to Adrian, it's where I'll be working, for him..I feel his eyes on me but the stare didn't last long. Every nerve in my body is about to burst. I'm full of questions . I keep remembering how he said " you belong to me" like it's some privilege being his.Finally, I can’t keep it in any longer. “What exactly do you stand to gain from this , Adrian?"He glances at me, and a smirk tugs at his lips. “Careful, Isabella. Questioning me isn’t a good behaviour baby girl.""Like I care. I'm really trying to understand this, I'm supposed to work and pay you back but why are you in it?"His gaze sharpens, a glint of intrigue mixed with something darker. “why do you think there's always something to what I do?"he asks, his vo

Kayla's povThe morning light peaks in , touching the windows of Adrian's mansion and reflecting on her face. Everything in this room is so beautiful yet cold, just like the owner. It's quite hard but I'm still trying to adjust to this place, to this life that I'm signed myself into just for the safety of myself and family. I barely hear the knock before Adrian swoops into my room, his movements very commanding,this presence very intimidating. I instantly get a feeling of dread."We are going somewhere now", he says, the tone of his voice sounds commanding. " Dress formally and beautifully. No arguments, you will do exactly as I say without questions."I clench my fist but manage to keep calm, nodding." I'll be ready in ten"I open the closet and find it already filled with clothes, shoes, bags, makeups, literally all feminine stuffs and they are all in my size. How does he know my size? I don't remember telling him.I pull out the outfit I think is appropriate enough, hoping it'l

Kayla's pov Standing outside Adrian's mansion feels like I'm about to walk into an agreed slavery. Here I am paying for my father's debts. But i remind myself that this is a sacrifice that I have to and willing to make in order to save my family. I press the doorbell and after some moments, it opens.Adrian's butler leads me into the house. There he is seated like a cold blooded tyrant. " Kayla, my fiery dove", his voice smooth but predatory. "I knew you'd come"The weight of his words pressing down on me very strongly." Not like I had a choice, did I?", I forced my voice. " I'm here now""So you are ready to agree to my terms?""Yes"But instead of bringing out a contract or something,he swiftly pins me to the wall, his hand brushing my cheek. His hand made its way to my neck, wrapping around it. My heart pounds faster. It's like I can't breathe. "Do you understand what you are agreeing to?", he whispers into my ears. His voice deep and stern. " It's not going to be sweet baby

Kayla's pov I don't know how I made it to the cafe . A lot has been going through my mind since Adrian's visit. He gavee twenty four hours to accept his terms of face fire consequences. Well, as of now, I have twenty two hours remaining to either sign off my life to watch or watch my family crumble. Sitting at the front of the café, I look ahead and see my best friend, Clarissa. She is jogging towards me happy and bubbling as usual. One of her many traits is fixing things, but I doubt she can fix this particular one. As she gets closer, she notices something's wrong with me. " Gurl, you look like you had no sleep at night. What's wrong?" Where do I even begin? How do I explain to her that I'm twenty two hours away from being a slave to a ruthless man. But I know that if there's anyone that can understand my plight, it's Rissa. Rissa and I have been friends since childhood. We've been through everything together. From the worst times to the sweetest times, we did it all together.
