BLURB “Mr Geal, we can't please.” her voice breaks as he trailed his fingers down jaw to her lips. Her breath comes out in gasps as she tightens her legs together, “Please, you are betrothed.” she murmured. His hands move to her neck where he tightens them whispering, “It doesn't matter,” he growls, his fingers finding their way beneath my skirt. “I am yours anyway.” He doesn't give her a second before his fingers sweep her panties aside, and find their way home. “Holy hell-” therest of the words is jumbled in her throat as he slams his lips against hers ~~~~~~ Olivia Macurry, a woman whose lifetime goal was to stop stripping. She wanted nomore than a white collar job where she wouldn't have to open her legs to get paid. After getting ordered by a man whopaid fifteen thousand dollars to have her for the night, she agreed but she didn't keep to the bargain. Now her new boss is the same blue eyed man that paid for a night with her, the same man she left when he was in the bathroom barely an hour after their first round. But it's too late because he wants her again. Just a taste, and he's addicted. He won't let her go, not even when he is buried six feet under. He can't stop, he must have her after all he paid for a night. Obsession turns into attraction. Attraction turns into possession. Possession turns into pure madness. He refuses to let her go yet he is betrothed to another. Secrets, lies, betrayal, and anger drives their relationship towards madness as everything is turned upside. But then Leonardo's best quality was that he thrived in chaos, and even though he is betrothed he belonged to her. Body, mind, and fucking soul.
View Moreunexpected visitor.Olivia's POVThe ballroom was big, bright, and loud. People moved around in expensive clothes, laughing and chatting like they didn't have a care in the world. I tried to keep up with Leonardo's pace as he guided me through the crowd. His hand was on my lower back, a steadying presence I wasn't sure I wanted or needed."Relax," he said softly, leaning close.I didn't respond. My black dress felt too tight, and the heels were killing me. This wasn't my world. I wasn't used to being surrounded by so much wealth and power.Leonardo stopped to greet someone, introducing me as his assistant. I nodded politely, barely listening to the conversation. My mind was elsewhere, thinking about how Alicia's glare had burned into me the moment we walked in.Alicia was across the room, standing near a fountain of champagne. She looked perfect in her sparkling silver gown, her smile sharp and fake. Her eyes didn't leave me, and I knew she was waiting for the right moment to s
A deal with the devil Alicia's POVThe heels of my designer stilettos clicked sharply against the cold pavement, echoing in the quiet alleyway as I approached the lit café. This was far from my usual scene, but some things had to be done in the shadows, away from Leonardo's watchful eyes.I hated the stench of these backstreets. The grease from a nearby diner mingled with the sour odor of garbage, making my nose wrinkle in disgust. I pulled my fur-lined coat tighter around me and pushed open the café door, immediately hit by the stale aroma of cheap coffee and desperation.He was waiting for me in the corner, seated at a rickety table with a chipped coffee cup in front of him. Derek Stan. Olivia's stepbrother. The man who had proven to be both a disgrace and a necessary ally. My private investigator had brought out information about him and he'll be useful to get rid of Olivia from Leonardo's life. As long as that bitch is out of our lives for good, then I have no problem workin
Choices and threats.LEONARDOThe sharp clack of Alicia's heels against the marble floor grated on my nerves long before I even saw her. The sound echoed through the quiet of my penthouse, a herald of the chaos that always seemed to follow her."Leonardo!" she called, her voice as sharp and demanding as ever.I exhaled slowly, bracing myself as I stepped into the living room. There she stood, dressed to the nines in a sleek black dress that clung to her frame. Her red lips curled into a practiced smile, the kind she used when she wanted something."What are you doing here, Alicia?" I asked, keeping my voice as even as possible.She turned, brushing her hair over her shoulder as she walked toward me. "We need to talk," she said simply, as if she hadn't barged into my home uninvited."There's nothing to talk about," I said, crossing my arms."Oh, but there is." She settled herself on the couch, crossing her legs with the confidence of someone who thought they belonged here.I stayed w
ALICIA I speed down the highway, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white. My father would handle the logistics, yes, but this wasn't just about family arrangements anymore. This was personal.Leonardo had embarrassed me, belittled me in front of his entire office staff. Worse, he had stood by that insignificant, plain assistant like she was worth defending. The image of him shielding her from my words was burned into my memory, fueling the fire of my hatred for her.She thought she could replace me? As if someone like Olivia could ever compete with me. She didn't belong in our world. She didn't understand the rules we lived by. But I would teach her, oh, I would teach her.When I arrived at my penthouse apartment, I kicked off my heels and poured myself a glass of wine, the rich red liquid swirling like my thoughts. Sitting down on the sleek leather couch, I reached for my phone and opened my laptop."Let's see what we can dig up on you, Olivia," I m
OLIVIAThe door clicked shut behind Leonardo, and I exhaled the breath I hadn't realized I was holding. My hands trembled in my lap, a testament to how much Alicia's words had rattled me."You're not a distraction," Leonardo had said.I wanted to believe him-God, I wanted to. But the way Alicia's voice still echoed in my head made it hard to focus on anything else.You'll never be anything more than temporary.I shook my head, trying to push her venomous words away, but they clung to me like smoke. She'd struck a nerve, and she knew it.Standing from the chair, I began pacing the office. It was a large, imposing space, filled with sleek furniture and polished surfaces, but it felt suffocating now. The weight of everything was too much-Alicia's accusations, Leonardo's confusing behavior, my own jumbled emotions.Why was I even here?I caught sight of my reflection in the floor-to-ceiling windows and almost didn't recognize myself. The professional attire, the neatly tied hair... it
LEONARDOAlicia had no right.The audacity of that woman to corner Olivia, to speak to her as if she were less than human, it brought out feelings in me that I hadn't felt in years. The sight of Olivia standing there, her head lowered, her shoulders tense, made my chest tighten in a way that had nothing to do with anger and everything to do with protectiveness.Alicia turned, her expression a blend of feigned innocence and irritation as she met my glare. "What is it now, Leonardo?""You," I snarled, stalking toward her with quick strides. My voice echoed down the hallway, sharp and unyielding. "What did you say to her?"Her painted red lips curved into a smirk. "I was just giving your assistant some advice. Surely, there's no harm in that?"Olivia shifted behind me, and I caught the faintest tremor in her hands as she clutched the documents I'd asked her to deliver. She was trying to be strong, but Alicia had cut her deep-I could see it in her eyes.I turned my full attention back to
OLIVIAThe office was quiet, just the way I liked it. The silence allowed me to focus on the paperwork and the tasks that Leonardo had given me. I didn't mind the work, it kept me busy, which was a good thing. Leonardo had been distant, even colder than usual. It was as though a wall had gone up between us. I couldn't understand why. One minute, he seemed so interested, and the next, he acted like I didn't exist. I did my best to ignore it, but it was hard when I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.That morning, I had barely exchanged words with him. He handed me a stack of documents without so much as a glance. "Get these to legal," he said, his voice flat."Of course, Mr. Gael," I said, trying to keep the disappointment out of my voice.As I left his office and made my way down the hall, my mind kept wandering back to him. What had changed? Why had he become so cold? Had I done something wrong?I kept my head down as I walked through the building, trying not to d
LEONARDOThe moment Alicia left, I took my car keys and went out, I drove aimlessly through the city, the glow of the street lights illuminating the darkness of my thoughts. My knuckles tightened on the steering wheel as Alicia's words echoed in my head.The way She glared at me for a long moment before storming toward the door. "You'll regret this," her words, her voice full of venom.She smirked, flipping her hair over her shoulder as she walked out. "You'll come crawling back to me. They always do."I clenched my jaw, the threat simmering like poison in my veins. Alicia Hayes had always been manipulative, but this time, she'd gone too far. Still, it wasn't just her words that bothered me.It was Olivia.I couldn't stop thinking about her. The way her eyes sparkled when she laughed, the way she challenged me without fear. She was under my skin, in my head, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake her.The hotel came into view, and I pulled into the parking lot, ignoring
LEONARDOBy the time I pulled into the driveway, I was already exhausted. My mind drifted to Olivia earlier when I dropped her off. My mind went to her lips, they were plumping out as if they were begging me to claim them. Not to mention Olivia had been my only distraction today in the rooms filled with boring talks on how to get rich, though not in the way I'd hoped. She was captivating, her every movement pulling me in, but she was also infuriatingly aloof. The distance she kept between us had gnawed at my nerves all night.I killed the engine and stepped out of the car, my hand going to my tie to loosen it. That's when I saw her.Alicia Hayes.She stood at my door like a vulture circling its prey, her arms crossed and her expression sharp enough to cut glass."Leonardo," she called, her voice dripping with a mixture of disdain and desperation."What are you doing here?" I asked, my tone cold as I walked toward the door. Why can't women understand the fact that a man does not w
CHAPTER ONEFinally, I am graduating. I bounce my legs up and down happily as I wait for my name to be called. “Olivia Macurry.” at the sound of my name, I am up and running towards the stage. I can't believe this is happening to me, after everything I went through to be able to go to school. All my tears, sweat, suffering, it all led me to this one moment. The moment I get my degree. With a big smile on my face, I walk forward. “Congratulations Macurry” the Dean says, a permanent fake smile etched on his face. I nod, smile for the camera then head down the stage. Unlike my other classmates, there is no one in the crowd for me. No one screaming my name or how proud they are to have me, no one is here on my special day. Quickly shoving the feeling of crying down my pit, I pull off my beautiful charming smile. Today is a happy day. I refuse to think sad thoughts.I am not much to look at just a normal waist length redhead with Hazel eyes, not like the hot girls I see around. “LI...
