2025-01-03 18:32:18Kayla'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 girl. For the next two years, you are mine. I get to own every piece of you. I know how stubborn and disobedient you can be, trust me, I don't take it quite lightly." Still at his mercy, I clench my fist beside me. "I understand" He stares at me as his hands explore my body. I guess this is my life now. "Kayla, if you try to be smart or do something funny, I won't just end the contract, I'll kill your father,make you beg for death but it would be out of reach." If there's something everyone knows, Adrian doesn't make empty threats. He doesn't bluff. Keeping calm, I answer "I'll keep to my end of the deal". Adrian smiles widely and finally releases me and steps away from me. "That's good baby girl. Let's make it official then." Adrian's pov Watching her stand there, acting all tough is actually amusing to me. I love the fire in her eyes. It intrigues me. Here she is signing two years of her life to me, let's see how long she can keep it together. Moving towards my desk to retrieve the contract I had prepared from the very beginning. Everything was meticulously arranged. I hold out the document to her, she seems a bit hesitant but takes it. She skims over the pages as if looking for something, which of course she would never find. I know that she has no choice but to accept it. " Everything looking good?", I ask casually " Not like I can decline" I smirk, enjoying every beat of her vulnerability. " Then sign it, ayla. And keep this in mind--- you chose this" With a heavy sigh , she signs her name sealing the deal. A thrill rushes through my body, knowing that for the next two years she's mine to play with. When she holds out the contract to me, I pull her hands closer. " Welcome to my world" I said leaning to her ears. "You are mine baby girl. And trust me, I don't plan on making it easy for you." Kayla's pov His words sink in, but I refuse to give him the satisfaction of seeing the effects they have on me. He may have taken my life, my freedom,my choice but one thing is for sure, I won't let him break me. " I don't tolerate weakness and stubbornness ", his says, his deep voice cold. " If you want to survive in my world, you'll have to be quick witted. You will work and pay me back every single penny your father owes me. By the way, I already have a place for you to work in. Failure to comply and I'll make your life way more miserable than it is now. " I swallow hard but manage to keep my voice steady. " I accept your rules,but I wouldn't be making it easier for you either." His lips curve into a sinister smile. " Oh really?, I'm counting on it baby girl." I can see the satisfaction in his eyes. It's obvious he loves seeing me this way. He's pushing me in every way trying to break me, but I won't let him have his way.

Beneath The CEOs Control chapter four: Arrangements
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 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 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 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 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

Adrian’s POVThe knock at the door is sharp, each sound echoing through the quiet house like a warning bell. I already know who it is. His timing is impeccable—always showing up when I’d rather burn the world than entertain his games.Victor Cane.I glance at the security feed for confirmation and, sure enough, there he is, standing outside in his tailored suit that screams power and danger. His smirk is already in place, a mask he wears as comfortably as his expensive clothes.I let out a slow breath and head to the door, turning my expression into something calm and unreadable. Opening the door, I find him leaning casually against the frame, his dark eyes gleaming with a type of amusement.“Victor,” I say, my tone cold. “To what do I owe this... unexpected pleasure?”Victor pushes himself off the frame and strides inside as if he owns the place. “Oh, come now, Blackwood. No need to be so hostile. I just came to talk.”“Talk?” I close the door and follow him closely into the living r

Kayla's povAdrian’s house was quiet—eerily so. After Victor’s visit, the atmosphere had shifted, as if the air itself carried a warning. Adrian sat across the living room, his phone in hand, scrolling through messages with an intensity that made me shiver. He hadn’t said much after Victor left, but his eyes burned with restrained fury.I glanced at him from my spot on the couch, unsure if I should break the silence. The horrible encounter with Victor still lingered in my mind—his words and taunts, the threats and the bantering between him and Adrian surely tells that this guys go way back together. There was more but I'm willing to know?“Are you just going to stare at me all night and not say anything?,” Adrian asks while flicking the cup of whiskey in his hands. He seems to like whiskey alotI flinched. “I wasn’t.”He leaned back, one arm draped over the edge of the couch, his posture charmingly relaxed. “Lying doesn’t suit you, Ayla.”I wanted to snap back, but the weight of the

Kayla lay on her bed , facing the ceiling while being lost in thoughts. She looks athe the business Card that was given to her by Victor, which she had retrieved from Adrian after he left for work. A lot of things have been running through her mind of late.Victor’s words haunted her. “If you ever want to know the truth, call me.” What truth? Could he know something about her and her family that she doesn't know and Adrian is not telling her?"Before she could die of overthinking, she grabbed her phone and dialed the number on the business card.It rang twice before Victor’s smooth, chilling voice came through. “I wasn’t sure you’d call.”Kayla gripped the phone tighter. “I want to talk. Somewhere public.”Victor chuckled softly. “Smart girl. There’s a café two blocks from Blackwood’s place. I’ll see you there in twenty minutes.”She hung up, her chest tight with nerves and indecision .She motivated herself, grabbed her coat and sneaked out of the house. The idea of meeting Victor ter

Beneath The CEOs Control chapter forty four: A life borrowed
Cipher stepped into the dimly lit chamber, seated there was a man dressed in leather behind the desk. Shadows clung to the corners of the room, swallowing every ounce of warmth. The boss didn’t even lift his eyes from the scotch glass in his hand.“Well?” the man’s voice came, calm but authoritative “It’s done,” Cipher replied firmly. “I planted the bomb underneath the building as planned. They are all dead.A slow nod followed. The boss swirled the amber liquid in his glass, his gaze distant, thoughtful.“No one survived?” he asked again, this time with a slight edge. “You’re absolutely sure?”Cipher hesitated a moment before straightening. “Yes. I made sure everything went according to plan. Kayla. Adrian. Victor. Ethan. Clarissa. They were all in the building when it blew.”The boss finally looked up, his steel-grey eyes pinning Cipher in place. “And you’re confident that no one saw you?"“No one,” Cipher responded obedientlyThe boss rose to his feet with the elegance of a lion

The message sent had been simple, cryptic, and said to be of utmost importance. No name. No sender. Just a location and time.Adrian read it twice, jaw tightening. His instincts buzzed with curiosity and doubt.Across the city, Ethan stared at the same message, eyebrows furrowed. “What the hell is this?” he muttered. Clarissa leaned over his shoulder. “Whats this supposed to mean.are you going to go"?“I don’t know. But I feel like I should.”Victor laughed coldly as he pocketed the message. “Nice try, bastards. Let’s see what you have planned. I know for a fact Adrian is doing this."Kayla clutched her phone nervously. “Adrian, did you get this?”He nodded. “We’re going. I’ll have men surrounding the area. Stay close to me and you'll be safe."By noon, the old industrial building sat like a waiting beast, rusting and silent. One by one, they arrived. First Adrian and Kayla, then Ethan and Clarissa. Victor arrived last, flanked by two guards, a smug smirk painted on his face.“You?, A
Beneath The CEOs Control chapter forty two: Fiona's scheme
Fiona paced the dimly lit hotel room, her heartbeat thudding like a war drum in her chest. She had been on the run long enough, laying low, changing hotels, wearing wigs to flaw her appearance,But the anxiety never stopped. The fear only grew deeper. Adrian could find her. Victor could kill her. It was just a matter of who got to her first and either way, she's dead.She picked up the burner phone, the third one she’d used this week, and dialed a number she was told never to call unless she was desperate. She was. The call rang once.A voice answered. No pleasantries, no name. Just silence.“I need to meet with you,” Fiona said. “Tonight. In person. It’s urgent.”“Address,” the voice replied, cold and straight She gave them the hotel name and room number, then hung up. No time for pleasantries. She knew how this worked. She was dealing with an organization that specialized in making people disappear. An elite house of assassins. And she needed their best.Exactly twenty five minutes
Beneath The CEOs Control chapter forty one: going back home
Victor’s men stood tall in the dark alley, their faces hidden behind hideous masks, their posture as stupid as they are. Ethan walked calmly toward them, a black leather briefcase in one hand and a composed expression masking the war that's going on inside of him.“This better be everything,” the tallest of Victor’s men growled, stretching out his hand.Ethan dropped the briefcase onto the car bonnet. “It’s all there. Every file, every password, every damn thing you asked for.”The man snapped it open, flipping through neatly arranged files, USB drives, and hard copies of encrypted accounts. Ethan had worked all night with Adrian’s tech team to make them look real. The level of detail was so precise, even an expert would be fooled—at least, for a while.“Now that you are satisfied, will you take me to her?,” Ethan demanded, voice cold and sharp like steel.“Master Victor will decide that,” the man replied and motioned for him to wait.A sleek black car pulled up beside them. Victor s

What!!?? Rissa is missing??!!”Kayla’s voice rang out like a siren screaming to free herself from a wicked fisherman's net ,slicing through the calm. Her hands trembled, Ethans phone clutched tightly as the message flashed on the screen. Ethan’s face was drained of color. Adrian turned immediately, eyes narrowing.“Wait—what did you just say?” he asked, stepping closer.Kayla’s lips quivered. “Cant you hear him, he said that my best friend is fucking missing." Adrian’s jaw tensed. “What the hell are you talking about? We were all together just hours ago.”Ethan stood frozen, his phone buzzing again in his pocket. Slowly, he pulled it out. One glance, and his stomach dropped.It read:"Come alone. We have your girl. You have 48 hours. Don’t tell Adrian. Or she dies.A chill swept down his spine. His throat dried as Adrian noticed the way Ethan’s fingers twitched around his phone.“What’s going on?” Adrian asked, stepping forward. “You just got a message too. Show me.”Ethan slipped th

The sun rose beautifully over the lockwood estate, making the environment look surreal.Kayla stretched beautifully under the silk sheets, her body still aching from the night before. Her skin tingled with the memory of Adrian’s touch, his kiss, the feeling of him inside her, the way he pleasured her in a way she couldn't imagine.“Happy Valentine’s Day, sweetheart,” Adrian’s deep voice broke through her thoughts. He leaned against the doorframe, his blue eyes soft, a beautiful smile plastered on his faceKayla sat up, smiling. “Is it Val's day already?"He walked to her, kissed her forehead, then murmured, “ Yes, it is. Now I need you to get dressed, I'm taking you somewhere special."She giggled. “Special? Where?”Adrian smirked. “How is it a surprise if I tell you"An hour later, Kayla stepped out of the mansion, looking so beautiful and speechless because she saw....Ethan stood by the car, grinning from ear to ear, while Clarissa waved excitedly, already seated inside. Adrian held
Beneath The CEOs Control chapter thirty eight: cum for me
He leaned in and captured her lips in a kiss that was slow, intentional, raw and passionate. It deepened quickly, their mouths molding together in a hunger that had been restrained for long His hands cupped her face as if she were something fragile, yet his body pressed against hers with a desperate need and a burning desire.He backed her gently toward the bed, never breaking the kiss. When the back of her knees hit the edge of the bed,"Are you ready for this baby?""I've never wanted something so bad In my life. I WANT YOU ADRIAN""Really, I'm not promising you that I'd be gentle. I've been starved for a long time.""I want you Ady, take me"And that was all he needed to hearAdrian lifted her onto the bed, laying her down as if she were the most precious thing he’d ever touched. He climbed over her slowly, letting his weight settle on her just enough for her to feel the strength of his desire. Their kisses grew messier, deeper, more demanding. Hands roamed, exploring skin that bur
Beneath The CEOs Control chapter thirty seven: wrapped in you
The weather today was so good and warm. The ray of morning sun peeked Into the room through the glass, casting golden shadows. Adrian laid on the bed, one arm tucked behind his head, while the other wrapped around Kayla's waist, keeping her as close as possible. She laid on his chest, her fingers tracing from his face to his chest, their legs tangled. No words were spoken, none was needed. Not today, not even in this sweet moment."You know, I wish we could stay like this forever." Kayla spoke softly against his chest.Adrian smiled, giving her a kiss on her forehead. " Then let's never move. Let's just stay like this forever and ever "I just wish we could just live a peaceful life, like going for walks in the park or something without watching our backs."she said sadly."Hey baby, don't even be like that. Sooner than later, we'd be able to do everything that you love. All I know is , at the very end, we'd be fine. A flush crept up her cheeks and she tried to look away but he hel

Ethan sat at the edge of the bed, rubbing his palm against his jeans as he stared with admiration at Clarissa who was fussing with her earrings in the mirror. She looked effortlessly beautiful even in silence, and the softness of her reflection is just a marvelous sight to behold. It made him feel so proud of himself.“Don't you ever stop to reason how we ended up here , together?" Ethan asked, his voice filled with love and sincerity.Clarissa turned, surprised by his tone. “Here? Like… here together?”He nodded slowly. “Yeah. With all the that gave way to our meeting , you’re still the one thing that feels right. You’re my very own calm in the storm,Rissa."Her lips curled into a small smile, and she walked over to him, sitting on his legs as her fingers ran through his hair. “You’re not that bad yourself. Even with that stubborn temper and your overprotective and hidden instincts."He let out a low laugh. “What can I say? I’d rather be hated for being overprotective than mourn the
