Rima: Jacob Snow is a puzzle. I had initially mistaken him for a cold, uncaring, and arrogant CEO, but as we work together, I realize he's the exact opposite. He's warm, considerate, and humble, a far cry from the man I had painted in my mind. But acknowledging this doesn't mean I'm ready to let my guard down. My past is a dark, haunting shadow, and I refuse to let anyone get too close, afraid of the potential pain that could follow. It's been a while since I've felt this way about someone, and the familiarity of these feelings scares me. The last time it ended being the worst mistake of my life. I don't want to give in to these feelings, but I can't deny that Jacob is becoming more than just a boss to me. Jacob: Rima is enigmatic. She’s resilient, determined, and initially, she appears distant. But as we collaborate, I find myself drawn to her strength and determination. She’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met, and the spark between us is undeniable. She’s built a fortress around herself, a wall that's impossible to penetrate, but I’m determined to break it down. I sense she’s hiding something, and I can’t shake off the protective instinct that emerges whenever I see her. As we confront the danger together, I find myself struggling to resist the growing feelings I have for her. As danger looms, Rima and Jacob find themselves struggling to resist the growing attraction between them. Their pasts threaten to tear them apart, but they can’t deny the feelings that are blossoming between them. Will they be able to overcome their fears and trust each other? Or will their pasts continue to haunt them and prevent them from finding love?

Jacob’s POVNine Months Later"Isn't he just exquisite?" Mom breathed out, utterly captivated. Her eyes shimmered with grandmotherly tenderness as she leaned over the crib, absorbed in the cherubic face of our little one. The baby returned her gaze with a quiet, wide-eyed wonder, a tiny observer in his newfound world.Nine extraordinary, life-changing months had rolled by since Rima, my beacon of strength and beauty, and I found our way back to each other. Each sunrise, each sunset, each shared glance and whispered "I love you" had knitted our lives closer together.Only three weeks after that heartfelt proposal amid the soft, cascading snowflakes in my hometown Snow, we vowed to be each other's forever in front of those who mattered most. Our honeymoon was a blur of laughter, shared secrets, and the unspoken promise of a lifetime of togetherness.One of my pledges to Rima, that radiant woman who radiates courage and kindness in equal measure
Rima’s POVTears began to pool in my eyes, born from the profound sincerity of his confession. My body was still humming, a residual echo of what had transpired just moments ago.The notion of him spanking me had never crossed my mind before, it was a boundary I had vowed never to cross again. Yet, when it happened... it felt right. It sparked an unexpected surge of desire within me. And it was all because of him, because of Jacob. With him, I felt a safety I hadn't felt before, a certainty that a simple, firm "stop" from me would have been enough to halt him, despite his anger.And when he took control, thrusting into me from behind, his dominance over my body was mind-blowing, earth-shattering."You're ogling" Jacob teased, his voice filled with amusement. I had spent the last few minutes drinking in his handsome features, marveling at how much I had missed them."I can't help it. I was on the brink of madness, thinking I might never see yo
Jacob’s POV"Jacob..." Her voice was breathy, filled with a potent mix of surprise and pleasure. Her response fueled my desire, driving me to repeat the action, each spank a punctuation to the silent conversation our bodies were having. She met each one with a gasp, a moan, a plea for more.My hand moved in a rhythm of its own, rising and falling, each impact a resonant note in the symphony of our reunion. The room was awash with the symphony of our breaths, punctuated by the sharp smacks of my hand against her flesh and her soft cries of surrender."Say you want this, Rima" I commanded, my voice a husky rumble that punctuated the quiet around us. It was not a mere question, but a demand, a plea for her to vocalize the raw, unadulterated desire we were both drowning in."Yes...God, yes, Jacob" she gasped out, her words syncing with the rhythm of my hand against her skin. Her admission was a sweet capitulation, a confession of the primal dance we wer
Jacob’s POVThe moment I found her in the closet, my heart had dropped like a stone in my chest. She was here. She was real. The woman who had haunted every waking moment and every restless dream, was here, in the flesh.Her presence was like a punch to the gut, stirring up a whirlwind of emotions I'd buried deep within me. Anger, hurt, betrayal - they all surged to the surface, a potent cocktail that threatened to consume me. Yet, beneath it all, there was a glimmer of something else. Relief? Hope? I couldn't tell.The moment I saw her pull the trigger, my world came to a screeching halt. The gun, instead of being aimed at the door, was pressed against her own chest. My heart pounded in my ears, a deafening drum that drowned out everything else. I watched in frozen horror as her fingers tightened around the trigger, a look of grim determination on her face.But the expected bang never came. The gun didn't discharge. The safety was on.Her ha
Rima’s POVHis words struck me like a sledgehammer, shattering my composure as easily as glass under strain. Never in my life had I anticipated hearing them, never had I fathomed the depth of meaning he'd imbue in them. The impact was monumental, a seismic shift that brought me to my knees, or would have, had his unyielding grip on my chin not kept me upright."No, please!" I found myself pleading, a raw cry torn from somewhere deep within. Pain surged through me, transcending all previous thresholds as those three damnable words echoed in my mind, a relentless mantra of rejection.Through my sobs, I reached out, my hands wrapping around his arm in a plea for mercy, for understanding. I was a puppet to my emotions, my words and actions spilling forth in an uncontrollable torrent "Jacob, don't do this to me! Don't kill me in this way! You could take that gun and shoot me right now, and it wouldn't be as painful as hearing those words from you!"His r
Rima’s POVTransfixed, my eyes met a familiar pair of warm brown depths that had haunted my dreams and tormented my waking hours. Eyes filled with a raw, horrifying realization of my intention, a sight I never anticipated to witness.Was it a cruel twist of fate? Or perhaps the intervention of some higher power that had caused me to overlook the safety on the gun, preventing me from taking my own life in his presence?His eyes were wide, mirroring my own shock, filled with an emotion that looked suspiciously like relief. His gaze was heavy with an unreadable mix of emotions as he took in the sight of me, trembling, gun still pressed against my chest.Tentatively, Jacob reached out, his hand shivering as much as mine, and gently eased the gun from my grasp. His touch was gentle, warm, a stark contrast to the cold steel that had been resting against my skin moments before.He placed the gun on the nightstand with a care that suggested he was ha
Jacob’s POV"Let her go, Jacob. It's for your own good" Demir's voice rang out, hard and unyielding as I reached for the car handle, my other hand still holding Rosalie at gunpoint."Give me what I want and she'll be free" I retorted, my voice final."I promised Rima I'd keep you away from her. What will she think if I broke my word for you?" Demir shot back, trying to negotiate.My jaw clenched at his words. It was just like Rima to sacrifice her own happiness to protect the ones she loved, to prevent herself from experiencing another loss, even if that meant losing in another way - through separation."Do I care? Probably not!" I snapped, swinging the car door open for Rosalie.Just as she was about to step into the car, Demir's voice rang out again "Fine! I'll tell you!"That was surprisingly easy.Whoever Rosalie was to Demir, it was clear that she was far more than just a 'sub' to him."But not before you release her. Right this instant" Demir demanded, his tone serious.I looked
Jacob’s POV"Where is she?" The words slipped through my clenched teeth, each one heavy with an urgency that refused to be ignored."Do you really think my answer will change from when your brothers came asking the same question?" Demir replied, a hint of mockery tinging his words.I slammed my fist on the desk, my patience dwindling "Stop toying with me, Demir! You're the one she'd turn to after Tony's death. I know she came to you" I shot back.His response was a smirk, cold and infuriating "So, by your own admission, she doesn't trust you at all. Maybe you should take your own hint, Jacob, and let her go. She certainly has let you go"I could feel a hot rush of anger sweeping over me, an insurmountable wave that drowned reason and restraint. My fist connected with his jaw, the impact sending a jolt of pain through my chest as my wound protested the sudden movement. But I didn't allow the flare of pain to show on my face."Consider this your final warning, Demir" I warned, my voice
Rima’s POVAs I walked into the bustling café, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled my senses. I glanced around, searching for a quiet corner to focus on my job search. I had just moved to the city two weeks ago, leaving behind a life that was no longer mine, a woman who died tragically but found her peace and got away from a miserable existence filled with pain and suffering, seeking new opportunities in this unknown place. My name is Maria…. No wait.. Sorry.. My name is Rima Karam, and this was the beginning of my journey to reinvent myself.I finally found a small table by the window and settled down, pulling out my laptop and a stack of resumes. It was the last day of the weekend and the café was filled with a lot of people chattering and laughing without a care in the world and I couldn’t help but envy that. As I started browsing through job postings, my eyes were drawn to a man sitting a few tables away. He was tall and striking, exuding an air of authority that demande
