Executive Seduction 9. A Different Turn
The sun was beginning to set as Harper waved goodbye to Adeline, who stood at the entrance of the boutique, grinning like the cat that ate the canary. “Take care of her, Eros,” Adeline called out, her voice teasing. “She’s a treasure. And don’t forget, Harper, if he annoys you too much, call me. I’ll deal with him.”Harper laughed, adjusting the numerous shopping bags dangling from her arms. “Thanks, Adeline. I might just take you up on that.”“Oh, and these are for you.” Adeline handed her two sleek, ribbon-wrapped boxes. “A little wedding gift from me. Don’t open them until you’re home.”“Thank you,” Harper said, smiling warmly despite the growing ache in her arms. The bags were starting to feel like they weighed a ton.Eros, of course, was already walking ahead, his hands casually tucked into his pockets as if he hadn’t just spent a small fortune on her wardrobe. Harper glared at his retreating back, muttering under her breath, “Must be nice to have no sense of guilt.”She took a f

Harper stood at the entrance of the gigantic doors, her eyes widened in surprise and admiration. She tightened her grip on her suitcase, swallowing hard. The thought of living alone with Eros was overwhelming enough. “This is it Harper!” she took a deep breath and headed in, dragging her suitcase. Eros had had his driver come pick her up very early in the morning. He wasn't around when she entered, leaving her with enough time to tour the massive mansion. Harper stepped through the grand, arched doorway of Eros’s mansion, dragging her suitcase behind her. The entrance hall was vast, with marble floors that gleamed under the soft afternoon light streaming in from the tall windows. A grand chandelier hung above, glittering with hundreds of crystals that cast faint rainbows across the polished surfaces. But the house was silent. Too silent. Harper paused, her eyes narrowing slightly. She had half-expected Eros to be waiting, ready to smirk and deliver one of his usual arrogant r

The air felt heavier, as if Eros’s words hadn’t just been a passing comment but something that lingered between them. Harper stared at the half-eaten pasta on her plate, absently twirling the fork between her fingers. Her appetite had vanished, replaced by a quiet, buzzing awareness that made it hard to focus on anything but the man standing a few feet away. Eros moved around the kitchen with ease, rinsing his plate under the water. The sound of it running filled the silence, but it didn’t do much to settle the racing of Harper’s heart. What did he even mean by that? She glanced at him from under her lashes, watching as he methodically wiped his hands with a dish towel, rolling his sleeves down with the kind of effortless precision that made everything he did look intentional. “Did you mean to sound that creepy, or was that just a happy accident?” Harper asked finally, hoping humor would smooth over whatever strange tension had settled over them. Eros didn’t look at her rig

Harper stood in front of the enormous mirror in her room, eyeing the clothes spread across the bed like they were landmines. Dresses, skirts, designer jeans, shoes that probably cost more than her rent—all ridiculously expensive, all courtesy of Eros.She ran her fingers through the silky fabric of one dress, letting out a soft whistle. “Jeez, I didn’t sign up to be a celebrity.” The red dress shimmered under the light, clinging to her fingers like liquid satin. It had a plunging neckline and a slit high enough to make her reconsider her life choices. “I can’t wear this.”She shifted to the next option—a white tailored blazer and matching trousers. Sleek, powerful, but… boring. Her eyes landed on a black midi dress with delicate lace trim. Simple, classy, but still elegant. Harper nodded to herself. This. This was safe. After tugging it on, she stood back, tilting her head. The dress hugged her curves in all the right places, accentuating her waist. The lace detail added a

“WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?” Rain's voice rang across the restaurant, causing a few people to turn their heads. “Whatever it looks like.” the masculine voice responded, standing up to eye her and then bend down to the level of the woman sitting next to him and kissed her with their tongue in each other's mouth. Rain felt bile rise up at the back of her throat as she watched in disbelief. “I didn't think you would be so cheap. I almost believed that a pig like you would actually be different but there's no amount of polishing a pig can get, it will always belong in the gutter!” This was her boyfriend of two years. The one who she had thought was different from all the playboys and jokers she had been dating in the past. She believed Julien was different. He cared for her in ways no man had ever done and yet here he was with another lady sitting next to him with no remorse on his face. “You see, that's the problem you have. I couldn't keep up with you not knowing what you want and

Rain's head banged very hard with a very loud headache. It was morning and the room was lit with natural light. Last night had been a lot. She remembered the embarrassing breakup with that scumbag and bumping into a fine gentlemen, then at the club. But what she didn't remember was how she got home. She turned to the side of the bed to take her phone but the more she stretched, the more bed space she felt until... "Oh my God!" she almost shouted out loud. Beside her was a gorgeous stranger fast asleep. Rain rubbed her eyes, confirming if it was a dream or not. A one night stand? With a total stranger? She looked on the floor to find her gown, panties, bra and his clothes scattered all over the ground. The stranger grunted as he turned to his left side, directly facing her. His dark brown hair messily covering his face. He was huge! Rain leaned forward gently not to cause any sudden movements. His arm was ripped and strong. Then her eyes darted down to his waist; a fine b

The air in the shed felt oppressive, heavy with fear and the sharp tang of blood. Wren’s wrists burned where the metal shackles bit into her skin, her every struggle making them dig deeper. Her chest heaved as she fought to breathe past the taste of sweat and copper in her mouth. Bruises painted her arms and legs in shades of deep purple and sickly yellow, and her ribs screamed with every shallow breath she took. A figure stood before her, a shadow of death cloaked in cold cruelty. His eyes were like shards of ice, piercing and merciless, and his lips curled in a sneer that promised nothing but pain. "And if I put a gun to your head, do I become a bad person?" His voice was low, unhurried, like he was savoring the terror in her wide eyes. Wren flinched as the words hit her, each one slicing through the fragile thread of hope she clung to. She could barely see him through the blood matting her hair and dripping into her eyes, but she didn’t need clear vision to feel his rage and

Wren's tiny studio apartment felt more claustrophobic than ever, suffocating her with the weight of impending doom. Clothes were scattered across the bed, half-packed into a battered backpack. She moved with frantic energy, hands shaking as she double-checked her flashlight. Her lips were pressed into a grim line, betraying the dread bubbling beneath her surface. Raya, her best friend, leaned against the doorframe, arms folded, worry etched deep into her features. “Are you sure that’s the best idea, Wren?” she asked cautiously. “I don’t know.” Wren’s voice cracked as she zipped her bag halfway. “But either way, he’s gonna have my head on a plate. I’ve tried everything, Raya. He’s not going to listen to any more excuses.” She shoved a pair of sneakers into the bag with trembling hands. “I can’t just sit here waiting for them to come. Running might be the only shot I have.” Raya sighed, moving to sit on the edge of the bed. “Wren, this isn’t just some random guy we’re talking abou

His hazel eyes darted around me like a predator meeting its prey, his arms folded as he rested on the wall scanning my body with interest and attention. I swallowed hard, my heart beat was faster than normal and I felt weak in the knees. I could feel his gaze all over my body as the hairs on my body rose up pointily. I literally had goosebumps. He was deadass handsome, even a hundred times better than the pictures and tabloids of him. His physique was gallant and exactly as he was described BUT - he'll be your worst nightmare if you ever cross paths. "What is this Asia? I told you I'm not interested in little virgin girls," He didn't stop looking at my body and then his eyes rested on my chest. He bit his lower lips and scanned me down again "they make too much noise in bed." "Be respectful brother. I told you I was gonna hire you an assistant and here she is" Asia stood next to me, her hands around my shoulder as I stood stiffly in shock. I was so glad she was there with me. Th

She lowered the book, staring down at its bold black cover. “You don’t even know what the hell is in this thing,” she muttered under her breath. Her voice was barely audible, but even that felt too loud in the oppressive silence. She flinched, looking around to make sure no one had noticed. No one seemed to. The workers kept moving, heads down, hands busy. But the eerie quiet still pressed in on her. “Okay, Wren,” she whispered to herself, shifting her weight carefully to ease the ache in her bruised ribs. “Be reasonable. Be smart. You can’t die here. Not now.” Her voice cracked slightly, but she forced herself to keep talking. “Play along. Clean floors. Scrub windows. Whatever they want. Just… stay alive.” The cleaning supplies were crude, old-fashioned brushes and rags tossed into a dented metal bucket. Wren grabbed them quickly, her movements stiff and jerky, and dragged them to the nearest corner. Her knees screamed in protest as she crouched down, running the coarse brush

Wren sank onto the bed, wincing as pain flared through her ribs. Her muscles felt like they’d been torn apart and stitched back together with barbed wire. But even through the haze of exhaustion and pain, her mind raced. She wouldn’t survive this place by chance. She had to be smarter, faster, better. And she had to escape before Riven decided her usefulness had run out. A sharp knock on the door snapped her out of her thoughts. She opened it to find a tall, scarred man with a permanent scowl. “Work starts now,” he barked, thrusting a thick book into her hands. She barely caught it, its weight nearly knocking her off balance. The words Rule Book were stamped in bold letters on the cover. “You’ve got one job,” the man growled, his voice low and dangerous. “Follow the rules. And don’t make me regret letting you live.” Wren’s grip tightened on the book as the door slammed shut. She swallowed the bile rising in her throat. This wasn’t survival. This was a game. And if she wa
