Synopsis

Rafael Achilles Cordova is the notoriously cold CEO of Cordova Industries, unrivaled in the business world. Raised as the successor of his father's company, he poured his life into preparing to inherit the company and grew up with no other interests. No care for women, money, or life in general. For all 29 years of his life, he lived purely for the sake of carrying out his duty without divulging into a single frivolity. And yet, why couldn't he get his mind off of the bright violet eyes of a particular little lady who randomly entered his life one day? Why was there a fuzzy feeling in his chest at a mere glimpse of her? Why did it feel like his entire world was collapsing with only a single tear running down her cheek? Where were all these feelings coming from? Unfamiliar feelings that he had not once ever felt before in his entire life. Little did he know that those were the feelings of a king who finally found his queen, one who he would lay his entire empire down to stay by her side.

Prologue

"So, I was talking to Mellisa the other day, and she was telling me about how her daughter had just graduated from college. Apparently, her daughter studied finance at university and landed a job nearby."I hummed mindlessly, not paying much attention to my mother's usual chatter as I sliced my steak. It was nothing out of the norm for my weekly dinners with my family, so I didn't think much of it."And we were thinking. Wouldn't it be nice if you took her out to dinner sometime? Maybe get to know each other a bit."I paused mid-bite and looked up from my plate.My father and younger brother quickly diverted their eyes, not wanting to get caught up in what they figured would end up as another big argument.My mother continued, "Her daughter is new to the city, so it would be nice if she had someone to show her around. And—""I'm not interested."She furrowed her eyebrows. "But you haven't even met the girl yet. I'm sure you'll like her if you just—""I don't need you to set me up on

Captivated by Mr. Billionaire/DarkTwisted_Desires

I rubbed my small towel against my forehead, wiping off all the sweat accumulated from my morning workout. Panting as I tried to catch my breath, I glanced at the clock above my gym.6:30 AMHmm, I still have an hour left before I need to start heading to work.I scrolled through my calendar on my phone, double-checking my schedule. From what I remembered, I should've already finished all the paperwork that needed my attention this week, and I didn't seem to have many meetings for today. Joseph, my PA of 5 years, must've cleared today's schedule for Ms. Belcalis's arrival.I tossed my towel into a laundry bin and walked over to my bathroom to take a quick shower. After all, this entire floor was my residence.I lived in the penthouse of one of the luxury apartment buildings I owned. I was one of the few permanent residents in this building since it was usually only rented out to business directors, usually only people that worked for me, for a few months at a time as they traveled bet

I felt like my words were biting me in the ass at the moment.That little lady, Ms. Belcalis, worked so efficiently and diligently that I now had a brand new stack of paperwork to go through at the end of the day despite the fact that I had come in this morning with a completely empty to-do list.We visited 7 potential sites for building the new headquarters, met up with 4 different architectural firms, and spoke with 5 different construction firms for quotas within the last 12 hours. With all the driving between different sites and negotiations with the heads of each firm, we ended up skipping lunch and barely even had a chance to sit down.Her options were so well researched that I had no qualms and had no trouble narrowing down on a single location for my new building, along with an architectural and construction firm to lead the project for me, even though it had only been the very first day on the project.To add on, she managed to go through the entire day without exchanging a s

I stared incredulously at the little white bag in my hand.I couldn't believe that I, the notoriously cold head of Cordova Industries, woke up early this morning and sent away my driver to personally go to a bakery near my apartment before work to pick out a few pastries for a woman.For a woman that I barely even knew.To add on, I ended up staring at the enormous array of sweets in confusion for so long that one of the employees had to walk up to me and offer to help me. It must've looked utterly ridiculous to see such a large figure hunch over the display, fretting over these tiny pastries.I sighed when the elevator chimed, signifying that it had reached my office's floor. When I stepped out of the elevator, I was met with the usual greetings from all my employees as I made my way to the back of my floor.To no one's surprise, I found Ms. Belcalis already sitting in her glass office and typing away at her desk even though it was still far earlier than her actual start time.I knoc

The meeting passed in a whiz as soon as Ms. Belcalis rejoined us.Although I had the final say in all the decisions, she helped guide the architects toward the type of sketches that I was looking for by pointing out all the little things in the previous designs that were suitable for the idea I had in mind.She was so good at her job that I momentarily considered stealing her from Benedict's company, but I was sure I'd never hear the end of it from him if I actually did that.We managed to wrap up the meeting half an hour early after giving the architectural team a good idea of what I wanted and sending it off on their way to draft a final blueprint in the next few days.Remembering how poorly Ms. Belcalis reacted to being in a car with me, I called Joseph on the way down the elevator to come to pick her up.She started to fret almost immediately when she heard me mention her name on the phone to Joseph. It was almost adorable how round her eyes could become as she waved her hands ar

I yanked frustratingly at the collar of my shirt, forcing one of the buttons to pop open. "Tell me once again why you dragging me out here again." Benedict gave a hearty laugh from behind his menu. "Why must there be a reason? Can't I just drag my friend out because I missed seeing him and figured that he was coop himself indoors for the weekend if he had it his way?" I narrowed my eyes at him, making him shiver in his seat. He nervously diverted his eyes and raised his menu— a ridiculously pink and flowery menu— a bit higher as he mumbled, "Ok, so maybe I just want to try out a new popular dessert shop and figured that the fastest way to get in was to bring the Cordova name." That sounded more like the truth. I sighed as I rolled up my sleeves. "And why did you stuff me in this get-up? Couldn't I have just worn one of my own shirts?" He had arrived bright and early at my apartment this morning with a loud and sudden announcement that he was taking me for some 'Sunday morning f

I nervously glanced down at the pair of vintage white gold decorative bobby pins sitting on the box of sweets. The pins had an intricate design of flower design at the end, with only a single crystal in the center of each flower. I wanted to get Ms. Belcalis something a bit more than a bunch of pastries to show her my appreciation properly. The pins had caught my eye from outside an antique store on my way home yesterday. It was simple yet elegant, something that I thought might fit her well. But was it too much?I still wasn't sure how I felt about Ms. Belcalis, i.e., whether or not I actually liked her in the sense of infatuation. I couldn't tell if I was just misinterpreting my feelings from finally meeting a female whose company I didn't mind or if I actually wanted to spend time with in ways other than as friends. I frustratingly ran my fingers through my hair. I'm thinking way too much about this. I should just give her the pins. It could be taken as a friendly gift or somet

Captivated by Mr. Billionaire/DarkTwisted_Desires

Oh, I was so wrong, so very very wrong.Even though I had filled up my week with meetings to address quarterly reports and the status of my investments in other companies, I still couldn't get my mind off her.I didn't even spend any time around her besides a random exchange of greetings here and there out of politeness, but it still felt like she was in every corner of my life.Every time she walked passed by my office, I couldn't help looking up from my desk.Every time I turned a corner, I couldn't help feeling like I had caught a glimpse of her light curls, only to find there was no such person.Every time I ended up near any sort of sweets, I couldn't help thinking about whether or not she would like it.And, worst of all, she continued bringing me dinner to my office every evening at 7 PM on the dot.Even though I barely interacted with her anymore, she would always come knocking on my door in an adorable little outfit, whether it be a simple black skirt or a dark-colored a-line

Thump.Thunk.Thump.Thunk.I slammed my fist down on my desk in complete and utter irritation from this man-child, hissing, "Don't you have your own company to run? What the hell are you doing in my office on a Tuesday morning?" Benedict froze mid-swing with another pen sitting loosely between his fingers. He cocked his head side, feigning innocence. "But I'm visiting my friend?" I frustratingly rubbed my circles against my temple, grumbling, "I need more coffee." Thump. Unable to withstand his nonsense any longer, I abruptly stood up from my seat and stormed out of my own office, slamming the door behind me. I strode straight down the corridor toward the micro kitchen, exuding such a dark aura that all my employees immediately turned away in hopes of avoiding my wrath. As I took a sharp turn into the micro kitchen, I faltered in my step when I saw the back of a familiar light-colored brunette standing next to the coffee machine. The anger simmering in my body instantly calmed d

Captivated by Mr. Billionaire/DarkTwisted_Desires

Benedict hadn't tried to contact me again since that day. It had already been three days, and he had never let a day go by without filling my inbox with clutter. I probably shouldn't have snapped at him like that. Despite his outgoing and obnoxious personality, he was still a child at heart and easily got his feelings hurt. Maybe I should pick up some pastries at his favorite dessert shop on my way to work tomorrow.I sighed as I tossed my papers back onto my desk, noting the setting sun just outside my office window. An entire day had gone, and I had barely been able to get anything done between the heavy guilt sitting on my consciousness for lashing out at Benedict and my inability to prevent my mind from drifting off to a certain little brunette. Gathering up my revisions on the blueprints and contracts for my joint project with Benedict's firm, I decided to search for Ms. Belcalis and hand her these changes before heading home early, even though I knew I wouldn't be able to ge
