His to Consume A Choice To Make
Lena's POVStepping outside into the bright late-afternoon sunlight streaming through the glass walls was too much gravity for me today. The board confrontation, Damien's relentless offering, and the discovery of the Grahams' calculated moves all knocked my breath out very hard. I was not going to let anybody take my company, my legacy from me, although the weight threatened to make me surrender. Still, it burned me hotter inside.The journey back home was a relief-silent with only the hush of the city's strumming engines and engine throating. I leaned my head back against the cushion, letting the cool air from the vents of the car bear down on my face. Most importantly, my mind was anything but quiet. Every thought circled singly around what the Grahams had sought to snatch away.The coziness of home would be fleeting when we finally rolled up to the house as it enveloped me at first sight. The grandeur of the building, the aura surrounding the pristine lawn was as if representative
Last Updated : 2025-01-02His to Consume Meeting Mr. Graham
Lena's POV Waking the next morning was like getting up from slumber to the gentle light of dawn filtering through our windows. For a moment, I felt still, enjoying the peace before the storm. This fight for my company, my name, and my legacy was no longer merely a professional one; it was personal. It was going to take every ounce of focus I could muster.I slid out from between my sheets and went through my regular routine with precision. A hot shower, an iron-sharp navy-blue suit that was straight from the office, and the black stilettos that clicked confidently. Today was not about blending in; it was about standing out and reminding everyone exactly who Lena Hathaway was.Ariel was already up downstairs, sipping coffee at the kitchen counter and scrolling through her phone. Her hair was in a loose bun, and her little frame looked even childish in a huge sweater. But her presence was strong, even under that."Morning," she said, smiling as she looked up. "Are you ready to take on

Lena's POVThe evening air was cool and refreshing as I stepped out of the car and settled into the driveway. The faint chirping of crickets filled the silence, and for a moment, I allowed myself to breathe. But the weight of the day lingered, tugging at the edges of my resolve. Ariel's smiling at me through the doorway as though she knew nothing: a merry salve for my frayed nerves. 'Long day?' "Long enough to feel productive," I replied, kicking off my heels and stretching my sore feet. She passed me a cup of tea; her wordless comment was, "You got this." "You look like you just came from war," she continued, eyebrows raised. "So did you actually achieve anything?" "Some," I admitted, sinking onto the couch. "I had a few meetings that went well, and Damien brought me something... interesting. The Grahams are overextending themselves financially. It is risky for them, and I can exploit that." Ariel raised an eyebrow as she snuggled into the chair opposite me. "Damien, huh? He see
Last Updated : 2025-01-03His to Consume He's Here....
Lena's POV I arrived at the office, and my thoughts were chaotic from the previous day. I needed proof that I could take back power, that I wasn't some weak leader they could walk over.Upon stepping through the door, I was met with the calm presence of Allyson; however, the look on her face was rather telling that something was wrong. She was standing near the reception desk with her eyes skimming the place nervously."Lena," she called softly, and I turned toward her."What's wrong?" I asked, all-too aware there was something wrong."It's Mr. " Graham," Allyson said, glancing over her shoulder to the waiting area, "He's been here from early morning waiting for you."My eyes narrowed, my chest tight. Sure enough, it was Mr… Graham. The nerve of him to show his face here, on my turf, uninvited. It is personal now - even more than business. He played games, just like his daughter and husband had."Is he still in there?" I asked, walking toward the lobby with Allyson trailing behind.
Last Updated : 2025-01-03His to Consume I Have an Offer
Lena's POV Mr. Graham's eyes softened ever so slightly. "I am not asking for much from you, Lena. I will offer you that proposal as is. Take it or leave it. But if you refuse this, you also walk out on everything you have labored for."I clenched my jaw, feeling the weight of his words sink in. I hated this. I hated the manipulation, the tactics, the way they all tried to control every situation. Yet deep inside I knew that he was right. This was my shot; one- and possibly my only-shot. "Okay," I said, my voice steady, my mind swirling with all the possibilities.I'll talk to Grant. " But if this doesn't work out, I'll make sure that this deal doesn't just slip through my fingers." It will be the Grahams that stood to regret their decision, not me.He smiled, and his eyes now glinted with something darker. "That's the Lena I like to see, and I'll be waiting for your answer."He turned to leave, and I stood there for a moment, frozen, while my heart pounded in my chest. I hated the id
Last Updated : 2025-01-03His to Consume Tell me Everything...
Lena's POV I settled into my chair, with my fingers gliding over the smooth surface of my desk while I thought about Grant. He was there when I was little and remembered my past. We had shared the future that was for us, now barely a memory stripped from his mind when everything was taken and just fell apart. To think I would have to go back into that world and somehow power him into continuing his marriage to Cassidy... It twisted something deep within me.The ringing of my phone disrupted all my thoughts; I grabbed it quickly, relieved to be distracted. "Lena," came Ariel's voice, all familiar and comfortable throughout the line. "I have been watching things for you. What's up? You sound... odd."I leaned back in my chair and took a breath. "You're right; I'm all well. " The Grahams are heavy, and I'm the one stuck in the middle.""Tell me everything," she said, soft yet insistive.I told her all about me. Graham: the offer, the ultimatum, the pressure to convince Grant to remain
Last Updated : 2025-01-03His to Consume An Intense Atmosphere
Lena's POV The elevator continued its descent. I let my stare trail to those mirrored steel walls, from the white-plated ceiling to the floor below. The reflection that met my eyes was someone I didn't know very well. I had never envisioned getting into this argument with the Grahams - even going so far as to trade in the currency of my past. But I had no choice about that anymore. This was the only way to win everything. The future of the company, my standing, the Fortex deal, boiled down to convincing Grant to stick with his engagement to Cassidy. It's like I'm being promised to do some sort of twisted dance, to put forth a promise that I know deep down I won't really be able to keep. But that's not the point anymore. The point is survival.An intense atmosphere filled the lobby when the elevator doors slid open. These receptionists worked away at their desks, and it was as though even the usual hum of activity had been silenced. The whole drama of what had happened to the Grahams
Last Updated : 2025-01-03His to Consume I Really Like You .
Lena's POV Mr. Graham took me for a second, looking as though he would reason with my words, before finally shaking his head. "I really like you, Lena. You are really tough. And that is why I know you will really be successful."I got up from the table, and my resolve kept on hardening for seconds. "I will succeed. But if you think that you're manipulating me, you are wrong. I'm in control of this, and I will see to it that the deal stands." The corner of Mr. Graham's lips curled into a thin smile as he stood as well. "I am sure you will, Lena. I am sure you will." I turned and left the room, matching this approach with Allyson's worried gaze. She said nothing as she approached me, but I could feel she could sense the tension coming off me. "How did it go?" she asked quietly, falling into step alongside me as we walked down the hall. " I sucked in a breath, my mind already racing ahead to the next steps. "I had to talk to Grant. I need to make him move forward with the wedding. If

His to Consume Unmasking Secrets
Ariel's POV I navigated the aisles of the upscale grocery store, tossing a few essentials into my cart while my mind replayed the day's events. I was worried about Lena- sickened from worrying about how far she would go. I sighed and rubbed my temples as I walked toward the checkout. Probably a quiet night alone would help me think.After paying, I stepped out on the sidewalk, shifting my bags around in my arms while raising one hand to flag down a taxi.That's when I saw her.Allyson.Lena's assistant.Allyson was a few feet away, standing in the same manner and trying to catch a taxi. My brows twisted downwards. It wasn't strange for Allyson to be out, but there was something about the way she was standing-an urgent, almost anxious-like it's stopping Ariel right in her tracks. Allyson looked behind her as if she were checking for someone before hastily getting into the cab.Clarity came back in a flash. Something was wrong. I moved without thinking and jumped into the next taxi.
His to Consume The Walls Are Closing in
Lena's POVAriel scoffed. "How generous." I met Sean’s gaze, ignoring Ariel’s comment. "And if I don’t?"The smirk was still there, but now there was a little less shine to it. "Then Cassidy keeps coming. And she won’t stop until you’re drowning." I drummed my fingers against the desk. "Tell me something, Sean/ do you enjoy being her lap dog? Fetching threats and delivering messages like an obedient little servant?"His expression didn’t change, but I knew he was getting annoyed with me."I enjoy working for someone who knows how to win," he replied with a bit of a smile. "And that’s exactly what Cassidy is doing."Finally, I lifted the envelope, ripped it open, and removed the crisp letter. My eyes scanned the words and my jaw tightened.Cassidy wasn’t just playing the media against me; she was making moves in the business world. Pulling strings with my investors, aligning herself with my competitors. If I didn’t act fast, she’d have her hands wrapped around my empire’s throat.I pl
His to Consume The Gloves Come Off
Lena PovThirty minutes later I found myself sitting across from Victor in a private lobby of an exclusive hotel. He slid a thick folder across the table. I opened it and scanned the pages with my eyes.The seemingly immaculate life of Cassidy Graham had a few cracks- cracks not seen until this moment."Her finances are not as clean as she makes them appear," Victor said, a calm note to his voice covering a trace of satisfaction. "There are some shady offshore dealings under one of her shell companies; not illegal yet, but it wouldn't take much to make it look like one."I was tapping my fingers on the table, considering.Victor continued, "Her personal life is the other half. She's been seen with Damien quite often. The media would devour the insinuation of an affair."I raised my brow as I looked up. "An affair?”Victor smirked. "That's how we'll frame it."I inhaled slowly while considering the next steps. The offshore accounts were straightforward; they would definitely harm her r
His to Consume No Mercy
Lena's POVI dropped the call and let silence embrace me as my heart regained its calmness. The anger churning in my gut, however, remained unbridled, scorching beneath my skin. Cassidy had drifted in, taunted me before drifting away like a winner. But she was mistaken. I walked to the window and gazed down at the city below. Streets stretched below with the pull of life, unaware of the war that was rising from the shadows. I had built my empire in this city, made my name untouchable. And Cassidy thought she would take it away from me? No chance. I turned back to my desk, flipping through the reports of the latest damage control efforts. The media had been relentless on me. The headlines cast me as a tyrant, my employees as victims, my business as a decaying empire. Some of my top investors had already withdrawn, and those still holding on were betting on my ability to weather this storm. I would. A knock sounded at my door. I didn't look up. "What?" Marie came in, her steps hes
His to Consume Face Off Between Two Queens
In the charged air between us, we both stood on our ground, studying each other for a fight. Cassidy had the guts to walk into my space, my office, as if she owned the place. And yet she didn't bat an eye. No hesitation marked her steps, nor was there any flicker of doubt in her gaze.She wanted this confrontation.Fine. I would give her one.I leaned back on the desk, arms crossed, as I met her ice-cold glare. "You've certainly grown bolder," I said flatly. "All that time spent scheming in the shadows must have done wonders for your confidence."A tinkling laugh escaped Cassidy. She sounded light, but the undertone was sharper. "Oh, Lena. You act as though you haven’t been doing the same. The difference is I don’t hide behind boardrooms and PR firms. I fight my battles head-on."I scoffed. "Is that what you call it? Lying? Poisoning the media against me? You are not a warrior, Cassidy. You are a snake, slithering in the cracks while waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike."He
His to Consume Face Off With The She-Devil
Lena's POVDamien closed the door behind him and leaned against it, crossing his arms. "You are driving straight into a downward spiral, Lena." His voice was low but firm. "And it is pathetic."I shot him a glare. "Excuse me?""You heard me," he said, stepping closer. "Look at you. Scurrying frantically to try and hold on to power, chasing shadows, and lashing out at everyone around you. This is not the Lena I know!""You don't know me," I shot back. "You have no idea what I've been through, what I've had to fight for."Damien's eyes narrowed, and his jaw clenched. "I know you've always been ruthless, but this? This is desperation, Lena. And desperation will make you sloppy."A flare of rage shot up through my chest. "If you're here to lecture me, skip it. I've had enough of your advice.""You need something," he said, his voice slicing into my defenses like a knife. "Because right now, Cassidy's winning. And if you don't stop acting like a cornered animal, she's going to run you out.
His to Consume A Little Misunderstanding
Lena's POV I hung up without another word, mind a million miles ahead of the present situation. This was going to be the start of a legal spate; I was determined to tell my story and remind them how I am the queen of this industry.I spun around toward my laptop, typed up an emergency statement that had to reach each and every national publication before daybreak: Good-naturedly offering recognition of the challenges, some non-essential regrets for "misunderstandings", and reaffirming my commitment to excellence. This was a standard maneuver, creating an impression that had worked in the past any number of times.But it felt wrong. Cassidy was not only trash talking me; she was actually shredding the very fabric of what I stood for. And deep inside, I knew this was no tale about her being hurt or displaced. It was a simple tale of revenge.Sitting paralyzed before the luminous screen, a thunderbolt hit me: Why shouldn’t I play for both sides? Why must I let Cassidy run this fight?No
His to Consume The Mess i Made
Lena's POV Opening the door to my office unceremoniously, there was the loud creak of the hinges shattering the fierce silence. Grant walked in, his usual authoritative self almost hazed with agitation. Clad in his immaculate tailor-suit as ever, the tautness of his jaw and the flickering unease in his eyes gave him away."What do you want, Grant?" I asked as irritation escaped my voice.He shut the door behind him and took slow, steady steps toward my desk. "I'm here to talk about the mess you made, Lena."Leaning back into the chair, I drummed my fingers against the armrest. "The mess I made?" My voice was bitter. "That's something to say coming from you."Grant's expression darkened. "Don't even go there. The tabloids are not exactly kind to you. The Graham family is furious, and now the investors are asking if you are even worth the risk."I sprang from my chair, the heels clacking sharply against the marble as I closed the distance between us. "Don't lecture me about risks, Gran
His to Consume A Snitch Within
Lena's POVMy heels clicked sharply against the cobblestones as I exited the sleek black car, approaching the glittering glass facade of my flagship store. It shimmered like a fortress of success, a tangible testament to everything I had built with my sweat, ambition, and many sleepless nights. But today, even its imposing beauty felt diminished, its big façade cracking only visible to me.I had a holiday from the unending chaos inside the Parisian resort, after my disastrous fashion show. It was a happy place, so peaceful between grittiness. I had sat beside tranquil waters and overdosed on luxury, but even there, a weight of failure pressed down on my chest. And it was an illusion; the calm turned to an ache, that as soon as the real world came in, cold and sharps always were waiting, like an old friend.My empire..the one I had built from scratch, brick by painstaking brick-was under attack, and I knew exactly who the enemy was.As I stepped inside, the same humming environment gre
