Am I sexually... No!I shook my head, trying to banish the thought, but it clung to me like a stubborn shadow.I needed to pull myself together, to regain control of my body and my mind.With practiced hands, I quickly braided my hair, but even as I focused on the task, a huff of frustration escaped
His company had consistently dominated the charts, topping the list of the most profitable companies every year.But this time, Ace had broken the record, surpassing Antonio's achievements and cementing his place at the top.It was a monumental shift in the business world, one that would undoubtedly
“Iris,” Liam’s voice broke through the fog in my mind, firm and commanding, pulling me back to the present.My right leg instinctively stepped back, a primal urge to run taking over.And then, without a second thought, I turned on my heel and broke into a sprint, away from the bus and the mundane sa
Iris POV:Wiping the sweat from my brow, I blinked rapidly as my vision began to blur, each breath feeling like a struggle for air. The imposing doors of the mansion swung open before me, revealing a flurry of activity and a long line of cars parked in front of the house.My legs trembled uncontrol
"Ace," I managed to whisper, my lips curving into a wide, relieved smile as I locked eyes with him. "Fool. Such a stupid girl you are," he continued, his voice carrying an edge of exasperation. "Ares!" he suddenly called out, his anger breaking through the surface. I glanced around, confused, and
The sound of Ace’s deep, steady breaths against my bare neck was both calming and electrifying. The proximity of our bodies ignited a fire within me, a sensation so intense that my toes wiggled involuntarily and I bit my lips in a vain attempt to steady my thumping heart.Oh my..... His hand tight
"You're such a brat, aren't you?" He asked, amusement evident in his tone as he observed my behavior."I am not," I replied defiantly. "Even if you want to do that again, I will make sure you never pull off this type of stunt again," he stated firmly, sealing his promise with a gentle kiss on my fo
Why did I only notice it now?Ace chuckled—low, knowing."Do your work like a good whore," he murmured, his tone silky but laced with steel. "And show me your devotion, brat."He leaned back, and the pressure of his hands, which had been a constricting comfort around my body, vanished. Like a snake
I blinked, my breath hitching, frustration curling inside my chest."Please…" The whisper left me before I could stop it, before I could hold onto my pride. My head dipped down, shame curling my shoulders inward as I bit down on my lower lip. "Just one kiss. Even a peck."Ace clicked his tongue, th
“Don’t expect me to treat you like a good girl till I believe you’re sorry, Iris,” he murmured, his tone dark and taunting.Before I could process it, his thumb shoved past my lips, forcing them apart. My eyes flew wide, a muffled “Hmph” escaping as my hands shot up, fingers digging into his knees
“Sit on your knees.”…What?I froze.My smile slipped, and a soft “Huh?” escaped me before I could stop it.The warmth I’d felt a second ago twisted into something heavier, sharper, and I blinked at him, caught off guard.“You heard me, my sweet whore,” he said, leaning back with a smirk that stretc
I clenched my fists, inhaling sharply before narrowing my eyes at him.This man.This man would kill me.My fingers tugged at my top, pulling it back down as I tried to piece together what just happened.Why did he stop?I gulped, my throat dry, my body still traitorously warm. Ace smirked, draping
I sputtered, fisting my hands.“Boss,” Joy’s voice cut through my humiliation.“Wouldn’t Hudson sir be angry about what you just did to his sister? Should we, uh, step outside?”Ace didn’t even spare her a glance.“No. Stay here and do your work. I’ll do mine,” he said smoothly, like he hadn’t just
And he had the audacity to ignore me?He didn’t even say thank you!I glared at his back.“Boss,” I said, layering my voice with a little too much sweetness. “It’s past your lunch time. You should eat.”Nothing.Not even a glance.Ace continued flipping through his damn papers like I was invisible.
But it was probably not the sparkly, glittering fairy kind. More like the I-make-people-disappear kind.Joy. That’s her name.Wooow.A woman named Joy working at a place where she literally brings pain. “Oh yeah!! I remember now,” Joy exclaimed, her face lighting up like I was her long-lost best f
Damn it, Iris. Play it cool!His gaze didn’t waver. “May I know what you are doing here?”I cleared my throat. “Uh… just… passing by?”He arched a brow.I let out a nervous laugh and gestured to the air. “You know, just… admiring the architecture?”Then, he tilted his head toward the slightly open d
