SNEAK PEEK•••
"You're nothing but my pawn, my slut, and a convenient hole for my pleasure." I scoffed, dragging my finger slowly across her trembling lips, letting it linger just long enough for her to taste herself on it. "You're replaceable, but you'll be loyal to me and me alone. I don't care if other men touch you, but only I get to fuck that tight little cunt of yours. Is that clear?"
Bianca nodded slowly, her determined gaze fixed on mine as though she'd not heard a derogatory word uttered.
"I only want you body, no more. Understand?" I looked down at her small form before me, noting how perfectly proportioned she was for my tastes.
She nodded again like an obedient little pup—and it was getting on my nerves. All I wanted to do was shove my boner down her throat to get more sounds out of her mouth. 'How slow can this woman be?' No matter how desperately she craves my touch, there had to be a limit to how pathetically needy someone could become.
A devious smirk formed at my lips as my second hand gripped her hair tightly, watching her wince was satisfactory—I couldn't wait to hurt her, to turn that flawless skin red from spanks and strokes. I needed to break her, to watch those wide blue eyes fill with tears, pleading for mercy that would never come.

[Bianca]

'The donor's dying wish was that their identity remains anonymous, so please don't ask about it.' The doctor had said, flipping over to the next page of the written report in his hand. His nose wrinkled as he squinted behind his glasses.
'Is there a problem?' I asked, catching the hesitant look in his gaze.
'The donor didn't have any heart problems, rest assured, and the operation was impromptu so after you're discharged, try to take it easy. You might feel slightly different in the case that your outlook on life differs from what it used to be, but it would be merely a lingering feeling and nothing to worry about.'
***
My brows furrowed, recalling the words of the doctor who performed my heart transplant.
Five years ago, when I was twenty-two and at the pinnacle of my career, my heart had begun to act up. From unnaturally high blood pressure to extremely low ones. The severity of my condition had peaked about a year ago, shortly after being crowned the most beautiful woman in North America.
Oh, I had it all! Money, fame, sponsorship and a dazzling future ahead—even a fiancé who I'd thought to be my soulmate. The only thing I didn't have was time.
My heart, they said, was failing me, and without a transplant, I wouldn't make it past a year. The irony wasn't lost on me—
I remember the despair, the nights spent lying awake, clutching my chest as if I could will my heart to beat just a little longer.
My health had deteriorated to the point where I couldn't leave the hospital at all. At the time, my popularity helped me gain donations and sponsorships to finance the hefty medical bills—but you know what they say about fame. The quicker you reach it, it's faster you lose it.
No one wanted to assist a woman who visibly wasn't getting better, leaving me to my own devices.
For those excruciating six months, I'd lived on life support. I was my crutch and very own sympathiser. The lower you go, the faster you realize how fleeting life could be.
My 'soulmate' said he couldn't love a woman whose lifespan was already at its limit and my family saw my bills as a never-ending burden even while knowing I'd already exhausted most of my life savings to stay alive.
Even the nurses scorned my circumstances.
'What's the point of being the most beautiful woman if you die young?'
They'd snicker in pairs outside my room while I feigned sleep.
My career, my life and my future was over—I'd lost everything. When I finally learned to accept it, willing to die before I lost myself in the process, I'd woken up to find my doctor blabbing that the surgery was a success.
Surgery?!
There were so many questions on my mind; from who the donor was to why the hospital hadn't seen it fit to seek my double permission to do so. Yes, I'd hoped for a transplant months ago but with no suitable donor—the throng of them being suicidal fan-boys, I'd long since given up on the idea and accepted my fate.
Honestly, I was grateful to be given a second chance but had my queries about why the donor wanted to remain anonymous after death. I longed to know their identity—from their hobbies to their family and life's work.
The doctor had mentioned that my outlook on life might feel slightly...different, but so far it had gone pretty smoothly.
Reality hit the second I stepped out of the hospital and I quickly grasped how broke I was. I needed to make money and no one wanted the 'ex-most beautiful woman in North America who'd just got a heart transplant.'
I was stuck, conflicted between my pride and the debts I was being pressured to pay back.
But after being on death's door once, you realise that your 'pride' doesn't put food on your table or pay the bills that need to be paid. No, money does.
And to get money, you needed to work for it—body and soul.
Or just body in my case seeing how no one could shove their dick down my soul.
"Bianca Campbell?" the sharp voice of a male called from behind me.
My head snapped around, searching the darkness for the source of the sound. The wind whipped against my face, scattering my hair as I squinted to focus on him. His presence was commanding, yet something about him felt off—like he was too calm, too prepared for this encounter.
He had broad shoulders, sizeable arms and a puffed chest that signified regular visits to the gym. There was a white mask covering the upper half of his face, obscuring his eyes but leaving his strong jaw and thin lips exposed. The mask was stark white, smooth and unadorned. It curved around his cheekbones, resting over the bridge of his nose, almost like porcelain moulded to perfection.
The lips that peeked out from beneath the mask were thin and pale, contrasting sharply with his well-groomed, dark moustache that traced the contours of his upper lip. His jawline was sharp and clean-shaven, the kind that suggested meticulous care.
This man was no pushover.
"Yes?" I replied slowly, sliding loose strands of blonde hair behind my ear while wondering who in their right mind would set the venue of a hook-up on the highest floor of a skyscraper! Was he some sort of kinky psychopath or worse, a killer?
The man didn't respond immediately; instead, he took a measured step forward, his polished shoes clicking against the cold concrete. The suitcase he held looked unassuming, but the way he gripped it made me uneasy.
His cologne wafted toward me, a musky blend of something dark and seductive that seemed too edible for a man's taste. My pulse quickened as he stopped just a few feet away, close enough for me to catch the faint outline of a frown on his lips.
"The password?" He inquired casually.
I stared at him incredulously, wondering if he lacked the slightest bit of courtesy, not bothering to introduce himself when he already knew my identity.
"Raw..." I said, ignoring the voices in my head that screamed 'danger.' The fact that there was a password was already shady but the venue and his unbothered way of speaking screamed serial killer!
What if he threw me off the building? What if he wanted to dissect me and stuff my organs inside his suitcase? What if he was one of those cannibals that revelled in human meat and his tools were in the box?
"What's in the box?" I finally asked, unable to hide my nervousness.
"My tools for work."
"Tools?"
"You talk too much," he spoke huskily, the words leaving his lips seemed to caress my ears as he squatted to open the suitcase. "Take the skirt off if you still need my money."
My legs buckled, thighs rubbing together as my heart raced. Yes, this stranger had offered me a hefty sum for tonight—money which would keep me out of business for a few months. Walking away wasn't an option, I knew that—he knew that, and the fat bonus he'd promised after an enjoyable night knew that.
I slid my mini skirt down, walking to perch my ass on one of the elevated slabs of concrete.
There was no point in thinking about it now. I needed the money, and if my body would suffice as a medium, then so be it.
A shameless grin formed on my lips as I spread my legs wide open, inviting him to look between my thighs. "You like what you see, Daddy?" I murmured, arching my back provocatively while one hand moved to massage my soaked panty.
[Bianca]***"Close those fucking legs!" He raged out, half startling me as I swiftly closed my legs. This man was so...weird.One minute he was unreadable and the next he'd lost his temper.I slowly turned my gaze towards him, my mouth parted in surprise as I watched him rummage through his luggage. The sight alone gave me goosebumps—He pulled out a pair of black plastic gloves, then a strange collar with a chain attached to it. "Come here," he twisted his neck, rising with his hands stretched upwards. I hesitantly obeyed, walking up to him as he rose to place the collar on my neck—it came with a gag that prevented me from making any noises.He reached down into another compartment and I thought my life was over. 'It's a knife! It's got to be!' If so, why was I still standing here? Maybe because I'd let this fucking psycho wrap the collar chain around his left hand like I was some kind of wild dog.To my surprise, he returned with a syringe.Panicking, I tensed, ready to fight ba
[Dante] My eyes narrowed at the woman below me who was trembling violently. Her skin was flushed pink, especially those succulent pair of ass cheeks I'd been relentlessly slamming into moments ago. The agreement was clear: I could do whatever I wanted with her, and she was willing to endure even the most twisted of pleasures. I recognized desperation when I saw it and had no intention of showing her any mercy. "You still want my money, don't you?" I demanded, my voice hoarse from the exertion of earlier. She nodded, tongue out and panting heavily like a bitch in heat. I liked the hunger in her eyes—hell, I planned on getting my money's worth. Her blind submission was all thanks to the drugs I'd injected her with. The formula hadn't been perfected yet but it didn't need to be. Testing the prototype was half the thrill, especially for someone like Bianca. She was everything I'd hoped for—young, beautiful, desperate enough to sign anything I put in front of her. But tonight w
[Dante]I straightened my tie through the mirrored walls of the elevator, catching my reflection just long enough to make sure everything was in place. Sharp suit, impeccable posture, not a hair out of line...mostly. But there was always something missing—something I couldn't quite pinpoint, no matter how many times I adjusted the details. I checked my watch. Late again. My tongue clicked against the roof of my mouth, an automatic response to the irritation bubbling beneath the surface. The floor numbers blinked slowly as the elevator ascended, and the air reeked of air fresheners. This building, with its polished floors and glass walls, felt more like a cage than the empire I was supposed to be running. The elevator dinged, and the doors slid open with a soft whoosh. A woman stepped in—one of my employees, Korean, small and fidgety. Her eyes widened when she saw me, and she bowed twice in quick succession, her movements stiff and nervous. The usual reaction. I didn't bother acknow
[Bianca] "Bianca? Bianca? Earth to Bianca!" Cassie's voice jolted me from my thoughts, pulling me back to the busy clinking of silverware and chatter that filled the high-end restaurant. I blinked and looked up to see her standing a few feet away, hands on her hips, one eyebrow arched. She looked like she was fighting the urge to roll her eyes, but the sigh she let out said it all. I blinked, realizing I'd completely zoned out while holding a tray full of empty wine glasses. Wonderful—on my first day back from the hospital, too. "Sorry, Cassie," I mumbled, straightening up and shaking off the fog in my head. "Just...zoned out," I muttered, managing an apologetic smile. "Yeah, I noticed," she replied, her expression softening a bit as she scanned my face. "Look, I know you're eager to get back on your feet, but maybe this is too soon. I mean... after everything you've been through," she said, dropping her voice as if my recent life crisis
[Bianca] The moment our eyes locked, my entire body tensed. I knew instantly who he was—the same twisted, masked figure from last night. The man responsible for the bruises I'd hidden beneath my uniform, and now he was here, smirking at me like this was all some dark joke."You..." My voice came out in a low hiss, and his gaze narrowed with recognition. Keith, seated across, shifted uneasily, trying to stand, but Dante held up a hand, silencing him with an iron glance. They weren't equals in this relationship—that much was clear.All I wanted to do was wipe that smug look right off his face. I swung my fist, aiming right for his perfect, punchable jaw. Before I even got close, he caught my fist in midair and pulled me straight up to his lap without letting go. His face was close now, so close that I could feel his breath, low and steady against my cheek."Bianca," he murmured in an undertone that sent shivers down my spine. "You're going to keep last night to yourself, aren't you? If
[Dante]I settled into the back seat, scrolling through emails on my phone, though my focus was far from the screen. From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Keith's glances through the rearview mirror. He didn't look away when our eyes met. Bold, as usual. Finally, I lifted my head."Do, you need something?" I asked casually, my eyes still on the screen. His reaction was immediate—a small hitch of breath, followed by the slightest shift in his grip on the wheel. Keith wasn't the type to shrink under pressure, but he knew better than to test me. Especially with my unpredictable temper. "Just... I've never seen you chat so much with a waitress before. Then you reported her? Seemed out of character."I let the silence settle. My fingers tapped against my phone screen. Keith shifted uncomfortably, glancing at me in the mirror again. He knew how much I disliked being stared at. Keith was one of the few people who could get away with this kind of casual tone around me. He'd known
[Bianca]I groaned, rolling onto my back as I arched slightly. "god...he's a walking thirst trap," I muttered, already annoyed at myself for how true that was. Dante wasn't just attractive; he was downright lethal—the kind of man who could ruin a perfectly good night's sleep just by existing in my thoughts. The kind that was tailor-made to destroy any sense of dignity I had left. My fingers trailed over my shirt, grazing the sensitive skin beneath. No bra, of course. I could barely tolerate that bondage at home. My hand drifted downward, almost against my will, brushing the waistband of my panties, damp enough to confirm that I'd lost this internal battle the moment I opened his photo. Why did he have to look like that? Like some dark angel, shirtless, with a knowing smirk on his face as if he could see right through the screen as if he knew exactly what I was doing at this very moment.I lifted my phone once again, biting down on my lips as my thumb traced his image, recalling every
[Bianca]"Bianca Campbell."An officer's voice echoed through the cell block, startling me. I looked up from where I sat on the hard bench, my back aching from the endless hours of staring at the ground. The officer, a broad-shouldered guy with a slight frown and a ring of keys at his waist, nodded at me. "You're free to go. Someone posted bail."I stood up, brushing my hands against my jeans as his keys rattled within the lock. He pulled the cell door open. "Come on out."I walked out of the cell with my head down, my heart pounding, trying to think of an explanation to make what I did sound right.As soon as we rounded the corner into the waiting area, there he was, in dark shades and a purple hoodie: Grayson. The only person I'd thought to call. I broke into a run and threw myself into his arms, burying my face in his chest.His strong hands enveloped me. I'd promised myself I wouldn't cry—I really had. But the moment he began to rub gentle circles on my back, my resolve melted. I
[Bianca]I woke up with a groan, feeling like drums were being hammered inside my head. Despite being laid on something soft, my body felt heavy and desperately weak. Everything was sluggish—my limbs, my mind, even my ability to breathe without putting extra effort into doing so."Fuck..." I muttered, pressing my fingers against my temple as I sat up on the couch. Slowly lifting my eyes to take note of my unfamiliar surroundings, I whispered, "Where... am I?" It was just then that I recalled the memories from earlier. The meeting at the Burge, the elevator ride, Dante Wentworth and the words I had spoken to Grayson."No!" I panicked, quickly rising.My legs felt like jelly, both knees giving way until I collapsed on the cold ground. I winced, tears forming in my eyes as I tried to make sense of it all. My mind was suddenly clear. I recalled everything so vividly—even the pain emanating from the bruise on my knee. It was real.I had ruined a lifelong friendship with Grayson just bec
[Keith]"I have a session with Bella, so I need you to drive Bianca to that address."Dante barely spared me a glance as he said it, too busy cradling the half-conscious woman in his arms. His voice was as casual as ever as if he weren't passing off his latest conquest like discarded luggage.I forced a smile. "Sure, no problem."I reached to take her from him, but the moment my hands touched her body, Dante's grip tightened. His dark eyes bore into mine."I believe this should be common sense, but don't try anything with her." His voice dropped in a warning.I sighed dramatically. "Have you so little trust in me? I wouldn't take advantage of an unconscious woman." Then, with a smirk, I added, "She won't even get wet if she's not awake."The death glare that followed nearly made me regret the joke. I let out an awkward chuckle, raising my hands in surrender. "Relax, I'm just kidding."Dante's humourless stare lingered a second longer before he finally handed her over, but even then, h
[Dante]"Send the person away!" I ordered."That might not be possible sir, he's still outside but claims he'll call the cops if he can't speak with a Ms Bianca Campbell."My eyes narrowed at the woman beneath me who had a slightly hopeful look in her eyes. "Who exactly is out there?" I asked casually.She furrowed her brows as if it took effort to piece the thought together. "Gray. He's here to save me," she giggled, kicking her legs against the mattress in what I assumed was excitement.She was still out of it. I wasn't sure if constant use of that drug would turn her into a retard over time but I could only wait and find out. Either way, she would be easier to control when her brain and mind were a bit slower. A dog who tried to be sharper than its owner would only cause discord—not like she could be sharper than I even while she was fully sane.It was a bit ironic, how low this woman I worshipped had fallen. But it wasn't low enough—far from it. I leaned in, brushing my lips alo
[Dante]I looked down at the woman, sprawled unconscious at the edge of the bed—my bed. Her chest rose and fell with shallow breaths. Her shirt had lost most of its buttons so her red, lace bra was exposed. I wondered what face she'd be making when she regained her senses and the effects of the drug wore off.I unbuttoned my suit jacket without taking my eyes off her, sliding it off my shoulders before tossing it carelessly onto the armchair in the corner. My inner shirt followed suit. The cool air brushed over my skin as I turned toward the bathroom, locking the door behind me with a soft click.From the pocket of my trousers, I retrieved her panties. Bianca's red lace, delicate and damp, was a treasure I hadn't planned to stumble upon tonight. The moment I held it up, the scent of her arousal hit me like a drug—overwhelming and utterly intoxicating."Dirty little liar," I muttered, my voice low and condescending. She always played the innocent card so well, but this... this was a de
[Grayson]I sat in my car, staring at the polished glass exterior of The Burge. Something in the name alone didn't sit right with me. Bianca had been acting strangely. From the second we were reunited until her temper tantrum at the hospital. I knew her all too well to know when she was trying to shoulder problems all alone—enough to know when she was in trouble.I'd followed her taxi here, telling myself it wasn't stalking—it was concern, undeniably so.Concern. Right. That's what I called this restless feeling in my stomach. The last time she said she had 'things to handle,' I got a call that she was in the hospital and suffered from a freaking heart attack! That was five years ago. Till today, she never told me what exactly she 'had to handle.'I didn't want to seem like a creep, but Bianca was my dear friend and the type of person who couldn't make any new friends. I guess maybe anyone who didn't know her for as long would think she was just a stuck-up little brat. But she'd face
[Dante]"Careful, Bianca... you don't know what you're inviting."I forced her back against the elevator wall, feeling the heat radiating from her as she arched as though our bodies belonged together. It was cute. Not hot, just cute. Her hands grasped my tie, pulling me closer, and I couldn't suppress a low growl. Now that was hot...I got hard at the thought of being inside her once more— to bury myself deep, deep enough to make her feel it in her stomach, deep enough that her walls would be clenching for dear life. 'Fuck...' I cursed under my breath as she yanked me down, demanding more. My fingers worked to undo unhook her bra, peeling it away alongside her shirt.Her breasts came free—perfectly shaped, with a delicate blush at the centre that seemed almost made to taunt me. They were full yet perfectly fitting her frame, drawing me in, silently begging my lips to consume them.I cupped them firmly, kneading and moulding them as I ground my bulge against her, our bodies aligning. M
[Bianca]I bit his lips, shoving him off me. His eyes widened momentarily, but then he smirked, touching his bleeding lip with one hand. Without warning, his hand shot out, gripping my upper arm with a bruising force. I braced myself, expecting him to lash out, but instead, he leaned in, his breath warm and unsettling against my ear."If you do that, I may not be able to hold back." A dangerous light danced in his eyes as he licked his lips. "Pain... does wild things to me.""If you touch me, I swear I'll scream. My friend knows I'm here, I'll fucking sue you!" I started blurting out all the threats I could think of in fear that he would force me into something I didn't want. "Oh, relax." He rolled his eyes, letting out a low, mocking laugh. "I may be a lot of things, sweetheart, but I'm not a rapist." His smirk widened, his fingers tightening on my arm just a fraction. "Now go on. Hit me.""What?" I asked incredulously but his tone dropped."Hit me, unless I'll hit you." He said wit
[Bianca]The last thing I remembered was Grayson's voice shouting, ordering people to get out of the way while one or two others pushed me out of what sounded like an ambulance. My eyelids were heavy and the sounds were blurry and distant.When I opened my eyes with a sharp gasp, I found myself lying in a hospital bed, a drip attached to my hand. It took a few seconds for my brain to kickstart. Beside me, Grayson was slumped in a chair, head resting on the bed. The moment I shifted, he jerked upright, blinking at me with wide, startled eyes."Holy shit! Don't scare me like that, B. What the hell happened?" He shot up from his seat, hovering as if he didn't know what to do with his hands.I blinked, struggling to process it all. "I... don't know," I replied, shaking my head.Grayson immediately moved to the door. "Stay put. I'll get the doctor."He was gone before I could protest, and I sat there in silence, gripping the thin blanket covering my legs. The events before I'd blacked out
[Bianca]I felt my body trembling in both frustration and rage. How dare he? Who the hell did he think he was? I didn't care how much money he thought he had, but he was out of his mind if he expected me to simply go down without a fight."B?""B?" Grayson's voice almost startled me, pulling me back to the present. His hand landed gently on my shoulder, causing me to flinch in response. I looked down at my own hands, only now noticing that my fists were clenched so tight my knuckles had turned bone white. Slowly, I unclenched them, letting out a shaky breath as I tried to regain control. "Hey, it's okay," he said, his tone soft. "Maybe just... take it easy, okay? I can stay back for a few days, and help you find somewhere new, somewhere decent. Make sure you're settled."I took another steadying breath, watching as the movers continued packing up my things with a strange, detached focus. I barely heard Grayson as he continued speaking until he said:"Or you could consider my offer,
