When a billionaire Victor Huxley sets his eyes on Olivia Hayes, a young artist, it’s not just her beauty that captivates him, but an undefined desire that borders on obsession. Victor is a man used to get what he wants, and from the moment he first sees Olivia, he knows she must be his, at any cost. Olivia, on the other hand, is determined to make it on her own terms, and the last thing she wants is to be tied down to a man like Victor who is ruthless, domineering, and possessive. But when Victor uses his power to force her into a contractual marriage, Olivia finds herself trapped in a world of wealth and darkness, where escape seems impossible. As Victor's dark desires unravel, Olivia becomes both a captive and his obsession. She fights for her independence, while Victor struggles with his own conflicting feelings—torn between his dark need to possess her and a growing sense of genuine love. What starts as hate evolves into a twisted form of love as Olivia slowly begins to see cracks in Victor's cold demeanor. But as their relationship grows more complicated, dangerous forces and hidden pasts threaten to tear both of them apart. Will Victor be able to let go of his control, or will his obsession consume them both? And can Olivia ever forgive the man who stole her freedom, even as he becomes the only person who can truly save her? What will happen?
Lihat lebih banyakThe ride back to Victor’s estate was silent.Olivia was sitting in the passenger seat of his black SUV, staring out at the passing city lights. Her body ached from the fight, her wrists sore from where Marco had grabbed her, but none of that compared to the storm inside her.Victor’s fingers drummed against the steering wheel; his knuckles still bruised from the fight. He hadn’t said a word since they left the warehouse. His jaw was locked tight.But she knew him well enough by now.He was furious.Not just at Marco. Not just at his enemies.At her.She exhaled sharply and turned to face him. “Say something.”Victor didn’t respond.“Victor.”His grip tightened on the wheel. “You could have died.”Olivia bit her lip. “So could you.”He let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. “That’s different.”“No, it’s not.” She clenched her fists. “You act like you’re the only one allowed to make sacrifices. But I chose to do that. Just like you always do.”Victor suddenly pulled the car over, the
The tension in the room was suffocating. Olivia sat across from Marco Ricci, one of Victor’s most dangerous enemies, trying to steady her breathing as she made her proposal.“I’m not here as Victor’s pawn,” she said, keeping her voice firm. “I came on my own. To negotiate.”Marco leaned back in his chair, a cruel smirk curling on his lips. His dark eyes studied her, filled with amusement and something dangerous.“You must think highly of yourself,” he murmured. “Walking into a lion’s den without your master’s leash.”Olivia clenched her fists under the table. “Victor doesn’t own me.”Marco chuckled, swirling the glass of alcohol in his hand. “No? Then why does he tear the world apart for you?”She had no answer for that.Marco leaned forward. “So, tell me, sweetheart. What do you think you can offer me that would make me reconsider my war with Victor?”Olivia swallowed. This was the moment that could change everything.“A deal,” she said. “A ceasefire. I know you want Victor’s world,
The silence between them was suffocating.Victor was standing in front of Olivia; his piercing eyes were locked onto hers.Her body still ached from the suffering of being kidnapped, her mind still reeling from the fear of almost losing herself again. And yet, here she was, face to face with the man who had burned himself into her heart, despite all the things he had done.She swallowed hard before speaking, her voice barely above a whisper but carrying the weight of everything she felt.“If I asked you to let me go… would you?”Victor’s entire body tensed.He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he took a slow step toward her, his movements deliberate, controlled. But Olivia didn’t back away this time.His jaw clenched. “Why are you asking me this?”Her fingers curled into fists at her sides. “Because I need to know.”Victor exhaled sharply, his hand running through his dark hair in frustration. “Olivia, after everything… after what they did to you… you’re asking me if I would let you
The air inside the estate was cold. Victor stood in the center of his study, his jaw clenched, fingers twitching over the handle of his gun. The message had been clear. Someone from his past had come again, and they had done the one thing he could never forgive… targeting Olivia.“Boss,” one of his men, Marco, spoke cautiously. “We confirmed it. The enemy knows her location. They sent a message to the rival families.”Victor’s grip on his gun tightened. His worst fear was unfolding before him. Olivia was no longer just caught in his world… she was the bait, the weakness his enemies had been waiting to exploit.“Who gave them her location?” Victor’s voice was deadly calm.Marco hesitated. “We’re still tracking the source. But it had to be someone close.”Victor’s mind raced. He had been careful, always ensuring that Olivia was safe. The only ones who knew her exact whereabouts were those in his inner circle. Which meant someone had betrayed him.A knock at the door made Victor snap his
The night air was cold. Olivia’s heart pounded as she pressed her back against the cold brick wall of the alleyway. Gunfire echoed in the distance, the sharp sound cutting through the darkness. She could hear Victor’s men engaging in a brutal firefight with their enemies, but she had only one thought racing through her mind…. Victor.He had shoved her out of the way when the ambush began, shielding her with his own body before ordering her to run. But running was the last thing on her mind.She needed to get back to him.She had to know he was alive.Taking a deep breath, Olivia gripped the small pistol Victor had insisted she carry. Her fingers trembled as she moved towards the chaos.The moment she stepped out of the alley; she saw him.Victor stood in the center of the bloodshed, his black coat whipping in the wind, his gun raised as he fired with deadly precision. His men surrounded him, covering his side, but it was clear they were outnumbered.And then, Olivia saw the assassin.
The weight of the discovery settled heavily in Olivia’s chest.She was sitting alone in the study, the glow of the computer screen casting shadows across her face. The files in front of her revealed something she wasn’t supposed to see… something that could shake the very foundation of Victor’s world.Someone within his inner circle was betraying him.The evidence was hidden, buried deep within encrypted messages and financial transactions. But Olivia had seen enough in her time with Victor to recognize the patterns. Money was being funneled out of his businesses, secrets were being sold to his enemies, and worst of all… someone close to him was leaking information about her.Her hands trembled as she scrolled through the emails. The betrayal wasn’t just about power. Whoever was doing this wanted Victor’s world to crumble. They wanted him dead.And they wanted her gone.A Dangerous DecisionOlivia shut the laptop and leaned back in the chair, her heart pounding.She should tell Victor
The mansion was quiet that night.Olivia sat on the edge of the grand bed in Victor’s bedroom, staring at the flickering city lights beyond the glass windows. Her body still ached from the day’s events, but it was nothing compared to the storm inside her.Victor had given up his world for her.A man like him… ruthless, untouchable had willingly surrendered everything just to ensure her safety. She wasn’t naive enough to believe he did it purely out of kindness. No, Victor never did anything without reason. But for the first time, she began to wonder if there was more to his obsession.If there was love hidden beneath the madness.The Price He PaidShe heard the heavy door creaked open behind her.Victor stepped in, his shirt still unbuttoned at the top, the dark bruises on his collarbone evidence of the fight earlier. His face was unreadable, but there was something different about the way he looked at her.“Are you just going to sit there all night?” His voice was rough, tinged with
The night sky was ablaze with gunfire and smoke. Explosions shook the ground as Victor’s empire crumbled piece by piece. His enemies had finally made their move again… a full-scale assault on everything he had built.Victor stood in the middle of the chaos, his gun raised, his muscles coiled like a predator ready to strike. His men were falling around him.But none of it mattered.Because Olivia was missing.“Where is she?!” Victor roared, gripping one of his injured men by the collar.The man coughed, blood dripping from his mouth. “They took her…. boss, they took her.”Victor’s blood ran cold.The rival mafia boss had made his move. And he had taken the one thing Victor couldn’t afford to lose.Olivia.A sharp rage ignited inside him. He had known this was coming, had prepared for war… but he had underestimated just how far his enemies were willing to go.His second-in-command, Marco, ran up to him, panting. “Boss, we have their location. They’re holding her at the docks.”Victor di
The room was so quiet as Victor sat in his office, a glass of alcohol in his hand. The tension in his shoulders never eased, not even when Olivia was safely tucked away in the next room. He had doubled security, ensured every entrance was guarded, yet he still felt unsettled.Because tonight, something had changed.The name on the note that had been delivered to him earlier sent ice through his veins.Alessandro Valente.Victor hadn’t heard that name in years. He had made sure of it.A ghost from his past had returned… and Olivia was now his target.His fingers curled around the glass, shattering it in his grip. The pain barely registered as blood trickled down his palm. He had lost too much to that man already. He wouldn’t lose Olivia too.Olivia lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. She hadn’t seen Victor since dinner, and that worried her. Something was wrong. She could feel it in the way his jaw had been clenched as if he were holding back something dangerous.Some hours later…..Gu
Victor Husley stood at the of bustling art gallery, his sharp eyes were scanning the room with his predatory gaze. The clinking of glasses and low conversations were filling the air, but his mind was somewhere else. Events like these were more of an obligation than a pleasure, a place to rub shoulders with other wealthy people and nod at the approval of overpriced paintings. His tailor suit fit him perfectly, seeing his broad shoulders and powerful build, while his expression was cold which keeps strangers at a safe distance.Tonight, however, something was different. His attention had been drawn, quite unexpectedly, to the art of piece in the far corner. It wasn't the art itself that attract him, but rather the artist who was standing near it, engaged in a conversation with a small group of admirers.She was striking, to say the least. Long, dark hair cascaded down her back, and her bright green eyes sparkles with a passion that seemed to light the entire room. She was young, probabl...
