“ And where are you coming from young lady ,her stepmother - Sandra stopped her . “Don’t you dare take another step!on your knees ,now “.

  Serena froze staring at Sandra . She couldn’t understand why she’s ready to punish her .

  “Making a scene at Jake’s place huh?trying to kill someone right ? You even want to break the engagement ? How dare you !

  Then she pulled out a long whip ,her face hard with anger , and brought down on Serena’s back multiple times . Pain shot through Serena but she bit back a scream.

  “He cheated on me “, she yelled back through gritted teeth.

  “ All men have mistresses , the marriage stands! Serena if you call of this wedding I will have no choice but to stop the health treatment of your grand parents. Am not some philanthropist that waste money.”

  At the mention of this ,Serena broke down . Her grandparents is all she had left in the whole world. 

  When she didn’t respond,Sandra thought that she has carved in . “ tomorrow you will crawl back and beg Jake as if your life depends on it and take back what you said about ending the engagement “.

  Her back ached coupled with her head injury reminding her she was trapped . Her grandparents needed treatment and she couldn’t afford to fall out with Sandra at least not yet . 

  “Fine I will apologize “she said grudgingly.

  “Good girl. If you want to get a man you must know how to get him in “Sandra said as she went to her fully convinced that Serena will do as told .

  I can’t remain like this ,powerless and at the mercy of people.if I’m going to go after someone it must be someone higher,way higher than Jake she thought .

  Just then a certain man came to mind and she made her decision. 

  Ignoring the pain in her body,she hailed a cab to Benjamin Blackwood’s place.

  Benjamin Blackwood is the richest man in the city . He is not just Jake’s uncle,but the head of the Blackwood Group ,a top bachelor on every woman’s list .one thing she knows is that Ben and jake hates each other so much and if there’s any one that would help her exert her revenge and free her from this engagement with him .

  Just then a limited -edition car stopped in front of her .Ben stepped out and Serena face lit up . This is her chance . 

  “ mr Blackwood good evening”she said with a seductive voice.

  Her gaze lingered on his crisp suit ,towering frame ,broad shoulders and lean waist . He exuded a magnetic aura ,one that can make any woman weak on her knees.

  Evening what do you want ,Ben said as she stepped into the elevator.

  Seeing he didn’t shout at her , Serena slipped into the elevator with him. When the elevator door opened he strode into the massive living room as if he owns the world.

  She hurriedly keeps up and daring the consequences she wrapped her hands round his waist. “ I think I left something here and I’m here to take it back “she said .

  Ben stiffened “ you drunk ? you think I’m your fiancé? “

  “I’m not confused at all ,I came for you “

  She locked her hands round his waist inhaling his scent ,cedar and whiskey 

  Her face heated up as she whispered “ I left my heart here with you “sliding an arm round her waist he lifted her up .

  Brushing a strand of hair away from her ear he leaned in close ,his dip voice dripping with playful menace . “ oh my , why don’t you show me what you got huh and maybe just maybe I will give you whatever you want “

  Serena’s breath hitched as Ben’s voice sent a shiver down her spine. His deep, commanding tone held both amusement and challenge, daring her to continue what she had started. He was nothing like Jake there was no empty charm or deceit in his eyes. Instead, they gleamed with dangerous curiosity, as if he were debating whether she was worth his time or just another fleeting distraction.

  She swallowed hard, her pulse racing as he held her in his arms, his grip firm yet teasing. Her fingers tightened around the fabric of his expensive suit, feeling the solid strength beneath.

  “I always get what I want,” she murmured, tilting her head slightly, her lips just inches from his.

  Ben chuckled, his breath warm against her skin. “Is that so?” He took a step forward, pressing her against the cool glass of his penthouse window. The city lights sparkled behind him, creating a breathtaking contrast to the dark intensity in his gaze.

  Serena felt her resolve harden. This wasn’t just about seduction it was about revenge. About taking back her power. If Jake had shattered her heart, she would make sure he regretted it in the worst way possible. And what better way to do it than with the one man he despised the most?

  She lifted a hand, tracing the sharp line of Ben’s jaw. “Jake doesn’t deserve the Blackwood name,” she whispered, her voice laced with bitterness. “But you? You’re the real heir. The real power.”

  Ben’s smirk deepened. “Flattery will get you nowhere, darling. But keep talking I’m curious to see where this is going.”

  Serena leaned in, her lips brushing the shell of his ear. “Help me ruin him. Help me destroy everything he cares about.”

  Ben pulled back slightly, studying her with amused intrigue. “You really hate him that much?”

  Her chest tightened. “He ruined me. Now, I want to return the favor.”

  Silence stretched between them. Then, suddenly, Ben tilted her chin up with two fingers, forcing her to meet his gaze.

  “You’re playing a dangerous game, Serena,” he murmured. “But lucky for you… I love danger.”

  Before she could react, he closed the distance, capturing her lips in a slow, searing kiss. It was nothing like Jake’s touch Ben was in complete control, every movement deliberate, calculated. He tasted of whiskey and power, of promises wrapped in sin.

  He kissed like a starving wolf ,cruel and teasing ,savoring her surrender before the kill . 

  He was dangerous,but she couldn’t resist . She held on to him tightly, her legs brushing against his side ,a breathing moan escaped her lips .

  His hands trails up her body ,pushing under her shirt to cup her soft round breast .

  His teasing touch made shudder as she let out a trembling plea “ is this good enough Mr Blackwood?”

  “Got to say you’re pretty good”he smirked.

  No I’m not ,with you it’s just an instinct “break up my engagement with your nephew and I will do anything “

  He froze his hands stilled and the once fiery moment between them ended .he yanked back from her .

  “Will you help me ?”

    "Why do you want me to help you?" Ben’s voice was calm, yet there was something dangerously alluring about it. He swirled the amber liquid in his glass, his sharp gaze locked onto Serena. The weight of his stare made her stomach twist, but she refused to waver. "Please help me," she pleaded, stepping closer. "I will do anything I mean it." Ben raised a brow, setting his glass down on the sleek marble counter. The dim lighting of his penthouse cast deep shadows across his face, accentuating the sharp angles of his jawline. He tilted his head slightly, as if analyzing her desperation. "Anything?" His voice was low, almost teasing, but his eyes remained cold, unreadable. Serena’s breath hitched. A sudden shiver ran down her spine, though she wasn’t sure if it was from fear or the magnetic pull Ben had over her. What have I done to myself? For the first time, the gravity of her situation sank in. She had willingly walked into the lair of a man far more powerful and dangerous t

  • Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle    Impress me miss!!

    Serena stood in front of the full-length mirror, her fingers tightening around the fabric of the gown Ben had chosen for her. The deep crimson silk draped over her curves ,the plunging neckline daring and provocative. She had asked for power now she had to prove she could handle it. Ben’s voice echoed in her mind from earlier that evening. "You want to be in my world, Serena? Then show me you belong here. Tonight, you’re not just my date you’re my statement. Every woman in that room will want to be you, and every man will wish they had you. If you fail, you walk away from this deal, and I won’t lift a finger to help you again." She had scoffed at his arrogance at the time, but now, as she stepped into the grand ballroom of the Blackwood estate, she felt the weight of his challenge. The event was a gathering of the city’s elite billionaires, heiresses, politicians, and models draped in designer gowns that cost more than most people’s yearly salaries. And at the center of it all, Be

    Serena barely had time to process the weight of Ben’s announcement before she saw Jake storming toward them, his face a mixture of fury and desperation. “Jake,” she breathed, instinctively taking a step back. Ben, of course, didn’t move an inch. His grip on her waist tightened just slightly, a silent warning that she wasn’t going anywhere. Jake stopped just in front of them, his dark eyes burning into Serena’s. “What the hell is this?” he demanded. Ben took a slow sip of his whiskey, his smirk never fading. “That’s a rather foolish question, don’t you think?” Jake ignored him, his focus entirely on Serena. “Tell me this isn’t real.” His voice was lower now, almost pleading. “Tell me this is just another one of his power moves, Serena.” Serena swallowed, forcing herself to hold his gaze. This was it. The moment she had dreaded since stepping into this world. And yet, she found herself lifting her chin, embracing the cold detachment she had learned from Ben. “This is real,” she

    Serena’s heart hammered in her chest, a mix of fear and an odd thrill she couldn't quite shake. The air between them seemed to crackle, thick with tension. She had always known there was something off about Ben, something calculating in the way he looked at her, in the way he moved through life. But hearing him say those words, so casually, as if everything everything was part of a game, made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.She swallowed hard, trying to regain some semblance of control. “What does that mean?” she asked, her voice steady despite the storm of questions swirling in her mind. “What do you want from me?”Ben’s smirk never wavered. He set his glass down on the marble table with a soft clink, his gaze never leaving hers. “What I want,” he said, his voice low and deliberate, “isn’t something you’ll understand just yet. But it’s coming, Serena. It’s always been coming.”She took a step back, her instincts screaming to run, but something kept her rooted to the spot.

    Serena’s mind spun as she tried to process Ben’s words. "I want to go home," she said again, her voice shaky this time. The gala had been draining, and the confrontation with Jake, followed by Rachel’s ominous warning, had left her feeling exposed and uncertain. She had enough. She just wanted to escape somewhere familiar, somewhere safe.Ben, however, didn’t seem to take her request seriously at all. His lips curled into that infuriating smirk, the one that made her feel both small and helpless, even when she tried to stand her ground. His laughter rang out, loud and unapologetic, as if he found her suggestion utterly amusing.“Home?” he repeated, the word drawing out with mock incredulity. “You mean my house, right?”Serena’s breath caught in her throat, and she froze, unable to mask the sudden flush of panic that crept up her neck. "I—" She stuttered, trying to find her footing. "What do you mean?"Ben leaned in closer, his eyes locking onto hers with a sharpness that made her hear

    Ben sat in his dimly lit office, his fingers drumming rhythmically against the glass of whiskey in his hand. His jaw was clenched, his mind replaying the confrontation with Serena over and over again. He could still feel the warmth of her body against his, the fire in her eyes, the way she had touched his chest with defiance, as if she had any power over him. It infuriated him, yet at the same time, it fascinated him.He took a deep drag from his cigarette, letting the smoke swirl around him before exhaling. The silence in the room was deafening, save for the occasional crackling of the burning tobacco. He was used to being in control. No one talked back to him. No one challenged him. Yet Serena had done just that. And what was worse—he had let her.“You love her, don’t you?”The voice of his assistant, Mr. Chris, broke through his thoughts. The older man stood near the bookshelf, watching him with an expression that was more knowing than curious.Ben scoffed, swirling the amber liqui

    Ben’s eyes flickered downward for the briefest second—so fast that if she hadn’t been watching him like a hawk, she wouldn’t have noticed.Gotcha.She let out a soft, sultry sigh. “You know, Mr. Blackwood… I’ve always admired powerful men like you.”Ben chuckled. “Is that so?”Stacy tilted her head, her eyes locked onto his. “Mm-hmm. Men who take what they want. Who aren’t afraid to be ruthless.”Ben exhaled, rubbing his temple with his thumb and forefinger before meeting her gaze head-on. “Let’s cut the act, shall we?”Stacy’s smile didn’t falter. So he wants to play tough? Fine.“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she said, feigning innocence.Ben leaned forward, resting his forearms on his desk. “You think I don’t know exactly what you’re doing?”Stacy widened her eyes, her lips parting slightly. “Oh? And what exactly am I doing?”Ben smirked, his gaze roaming over her slowly before locking onto her eyes. “You came here thinking you could seduce me, didn’t you?”She let out

    Stacy stood frozen behind the half-open door, her breath shallow as she listened to Jake’s words through the crack. Her grip tightened on the glass of wine in her hand, her knuckles turning white."If I can’t have Serena, nobody can.""Does she know your secret?""What do you think she would do when she finds out?"Jake’s voice was filled with desperation and bitterness, but Stacy could hear something else beneath it—obsession.She clenched her jaw as she slowly stepped back, making sure not to make a sound. She had heard enough.Jake wanted Serena back.Jake, the man she had fought for, sacrificed for, betrayed her best friend for, was now plotting to throw her away like she was nothing.She stormed down the hallway of the penthouse they shared, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. Anger burned in her chest as she grabbed her phone and flopped onto the plush couch.She scrolled through old photos of her and Jake—laughing, kissing, living in a world she thought was her

    Serena sat up in bed, ignoring the slight dizziness that still lingered. She wasn’t about to let Ben think he had won—especially after what he had put her through.Ben stood near the window, his back to her, one hand in his pocket and the other gripping the edge of the curtain. He hadn’t spoken since the doctor left, but Serena could sense the tension in his stance. He was holding something back.She wasn’t sure why that unsettled her more than his usual arrogance.“So, what now?” she finally broke the silence, her voice laced with sarcasm. “Are you going to play the role of the concerned husband, or was that just for the doctor’s benefit?”Ben turned around slowly, his expression unreadable. “Don’t push me, Serena.”Serena let out a dry laugh. “Push you? You’re unbelievable, Ben. I’m the one who nearly died because of you, and now I’m the one pushing you?”His jaw clenched, but his voice remained dangerously calm. “You refused to eat. You brought this on yourself.”Anger flared in he
