Although I was fuming when the makeup team had barged into my apartment, uninvited and very much determined to carry out the devils orders but now, hours later, sitting in front of a grand mirror I was pleased with what they did.

My hair had been pulled into a sleek tight bun with not a single strand out of place, it looked as though I was missing a tiara on my head.

It framed my face accentuating the cheekbone that I never knew I had, my reflection felt too polished and refined to be me.

My nails, which were an uneven and rough mess from all the stress biting, were now painted a bold scarlet red. I ran my fingers against my palm feeling very powerful.

My makeup was another transformation entirely. My eyes had a smoky look and my lips were a lighter shade of red. Every, every detail had been done to perfection, I now looked like a version of myself that I wasn’t sure I recognized.

And then there was the dress that clung to me like a second skin, it framed my body in a way that made i

    Ethan took my hand, guiding me into the limousine, and the moment I stepped inside, I froze.I had never been in a limousine before.For a second, I forgot everything, I forgot the heat of his hand against mine, forgot how his fingers had begun to drift over the exposed skin of my thigh where the slit of my dress parted.All I could do was stare at extreme luxury I was in.The interior was sleek, impossibly smooth black leather stretching across plush seats. There was a subtle golden glow on the polished wood panels that was reflecting off crystal glasses neatly arranged at the bar. Expensive bottles stood in perfect alignment, their labels unfamiliar but obviously luxury.I sank into the seat, running my fingers over the leather. It was ridiculously soft in a way that made me feel like I had stepped into a different world where I didn’t belong.Like Cinderella in someone else’s carriage.I glanced at Ethan, only to find him already watching me. He sat with effortlessly with his damn

    The moment we stepped inside, the sheer extravagance of the room nearly swallowed me whole.Golden chandeliers hung from the ceiling, their glow casting reflections across the polished marble floors.Soft classical music played in the background, masking the hushed murmurs of men in expensive suits and women dripping in jewelry that probably cost more than my entire net worth.Every detail was perfection—from the extravagant roses adorning each table to the poised waitstaff moving like clockwork. It screamed a level of wealth I had only ever seen in movies.I swallowed hard, suddenly hyper-aware of how out of place I should have felt.But then I remembered whose hand I was holding.Ethan freaking Blackwood and the man was literally richer than God.His grip was firm, as if he knew exactly what I was thinking. The warmth of his touch anchored me, a silent reassurance that I wasn’t some outsider crashing into a world I didn’t belong to.I glanced up, only to find him already watching me

    As Ethan pulled me even closer, I could feel the tension radiating off him, it was sharp, controlled, and coiled like a predator ready to strike. Across from us, Victor only grinned wider, clearly savoring the effect he had on Ethan."Always a pleasure, Blackwood. We must catch up later," he said smoothly before strolling away, completely unbothered.I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding and glanced up at Ethan. His grip on me was still firm, possessive, as if he had forgotten to let go."Do you always look like you’re about to commit murder at social events?" I asked, giving him a playful look. "Or is it just him?"He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he plucked a champagne flute from a passing waiter and pressed it into my hand."Drink."I rolled my eyes. "Avoiding the question, noted."Before he could respond, another voice cut through the air—smooth, commanding, and laced with amusement."You must be Ethan Blackwood’s date for the evening."I turned to find an older

    "Ladies and gentlemen," the auctioneer’s voice rang out through the grand hall, "tonight’s mystery guest isn’t just a lucky surprise—she’s an enchanting vision, a siren, a rare gem in our midst! The stunning Miss Sophia Carter!"Oh My God! This isn't happening, I tried to make myself believe that this was all in my head but it obviously wasn't, from the loud applause and the murmers I knew it definitely wasn't a dream The spotlight remained on me pinning me in place like some rare artifact on display, it all made my entire body tense up.What the hell is happening?“Let the bidding begin.” Before he could properly end his sentence, a very old man raised his paddle grinning like he had struck gold."Five hundred dollars!" I wanted to scoff, I knew I was worth way more than that, but I nothing could prepare me for how I felt when I saw the bidder. Oh, hell no! I felt disgust clawing my insides as I almost puked, if this man won I would kill myself go to hell and drag Ethan with me."On

    I gripped the counter as my knuckles white as snow I stared at my own reflection in the mirror shocked at how completely out of balance I looked.My pupils were blown wide open, my pulse hammering so loudly I could hear it loudly, my breath was uneven and adrenaline still coursed through my veins as I tried to calm myself."What the hell just happened?" I muttered, struggling to process the million thoughts racing through my mind.The bidding war and of course Ethan’s final bid. Part of me liked it, knowing that he wanted to have a date with me so bad that he was willing to throw away a million dollars for it, and it wasn't just that but was he was he possessively said it.And when everyone looked in shock, I felt like I was a diamond or another precious stone. Then the door swung open."That was quite the spectacle, don’t you think?"I stiffened not expecting anyone to help here, the voice was smooth and sensual as I could hear amusement in the voice, it definitely belonged to a very

    The silence was incredibly loud and for the first time since the whole confrontation started her confidence faltered.Her expression looked vulnerable for a second and then she slipped back into her untouchable, ice-queen like demeanor."One of." she choked out and when I didn't reply she kept on talking."Classic Ethan," she was trying to play it cool even though her tone was dripping with fake amusement. "With new girl on his arm the old one gets discarded like last season’s handbag. And I guess you were lucky enough to make the call. Makes me wonder… who’ll be the one to do it when it’s your turn?"I should have felt doubt creeping in. I should have been the bigger perosn and backed down but Instead I took a step forward, closing the space between us until we were nearly nose to nose."You sound bitter." My voice was light and teasing. I tilted my head, watching her closely. "Still not over it?"Her jaw tightened ever so slightly."You think you’re warning me?" I let out a soft sco

    Adrian’s smirk deepened as his eyes moved between Ethan and me, I hated the fact that he looked as if he was getting the best entertainment of his life."Relax, Blackwood it was just an observation. No need to get all territorial."Ethan’s grip around his glass tightened. I exhaled slowly, placing a hand on Ethan’s wrist under the table as if it was a silent warning. The touch is enough to keep him grounded and not do anything drastic, I turned to look at Ethan whose jaw remained clenched."You're awfully interested in my personal affairs, Lancaster," Ethan said coolly. "Almost like you're obsessed."Adrian chuckled. "Oh, I wouldn’t say obsessed—just curious. I mean, a million dollars is a steep price, even for you. Makes a man wonder if it’s about winning, or if it’s about keeping someone away from me."He took a dramatic pause. "Which is it, Blackwood?"I can practically hear the challenge in his voice, and my stomach twists.Ethan doesn’t answer immediately , he takes his sweet ti

    My alarm was ringing loudly, but I wasn't ready to wake up especially after the event of last night, so I tried to pretend as if the alarm wasn't there, but I just couldn't.I groaned rolling over and putting a freaking pillow on my face but it doesn't stop, so I reached to shut it off only to see almost a million missed calls in my phone.And I wasn't exaggerating at all.I squinted my eyes at the screen in an attempt to see better since my vision still very much blurry with sleep.Mom (5 Missed Calls)Rachel (10 Missed Calls, 3 Texts)My heart skipped, did someone die? Wait! Did Ethan die?But why the hell was my mom calling me? Shouldn’t she be on her honeymoon, sipping cocktails on some exotic beach with her new husband?I didn't want to overthink it as I was too exhausted to deal with whatever new hell awaited me.I dropped my phone on the bed and pulled the covers over my head. Maybe if I ignore it, the world will go away.But I should have known better as not up to a second lat

    Ethan “Alex used an internal login,” he said, voice tight. “But he didn’t hack in himself. Someone gave him access.”My jaw tightened. “Who?”Daniel exhaled sharply, pulling up a log file. “It was a shared admin password. Only a few people have it—IT leads, security personnel…” He hesitated. “And interns who’ve worked in the department.”“Who could have given it to him?”Daniel didn't reply immediately; he was still fixated on his computer. “Give me time boss, this kind of thing takes time.” “Fine, I need everything about Alex.”Daniel blinked. “Everything?”I turned to him, my expression blank. “Everything you can find on Alex. His calls, his emails, his financial records—everything.”Daniel nodded so fast it was a wonder his head didn’t snap off. “Ok boss.” After what felt like two seconds he replied. “Here.” “Send it to me.” I said and he nodded.Daniel barely had time to mutter something about looking deeper before I was already walking out of my office.Ready to hunt the fucke

    Ethan I never expected Sophie to tell me to get out. Not like that with her voice shaking, her eyes red and glassy, looking as if I had betrayed her in the worst way possible and the worst part was that I couldn’t even blame her. Because when everything went to hell, I wasn’t there. I clenched my jaw, storming toward my car, my body shaking with barely restrained rage. My fists slammed against the roof of the vehicle before I opened the car door so hard that you would think it was the cause of my problem. “Fucking Rachel,” I muttered under my breath, my little sister can be dramatic most times and I had no time for her theatrics nor her judgement. Someone had humiliated Sophie and dragged her through the mud in front of the entire company. The person had gone damn far by taking our private moments and turning them into a goddamn public spectacle. And I was going to find out who it was. I pulled out my phone, forcing myself to look at the pictures again, even though they made

    I was curled up on the couch, still a sobbing mess while I checked my phone every passing second but it was still the same thing. My phone was silent and there were no new messages or any calls at all from him.Rachel was in the kitchen, making tea like it could fix this. even the scent of chamomile did nothing to calm the riot in my head.We heard a knock on the door, Rachel immediately snapped her head up but I didn't move.She looked like she was ready to punch on who was knocking as the knock was becoming more louder and persistent.Rachel walked to the door, glancing at the peephole before letting out a bitter laugh. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”I already knew who it was.She yanked the door open but didn’t step aside. Ethan stood there, hands shoved in his pockets, still looking very but together.“I need to see Sophie,” he said as his voice was calm and controlled.She crossed her arms looking very fierce. “And I need you to leave.”“Rachel I-.”She cut him off rudely

    Everyone went dead silent but it looked as if Rachel wasn't done speaking. “But do you know what I can tell you? This is workplace harassment, and I will find out who’s responsible.”I have never seen her acting so vicious, if there was anything it was only now that she looked like she was actually related to Ethan. “You want to talk about immunity, let’s talk about company policy, shall we? Because last I checked, cyberbullying, workplace harassment, and slander are all grounds for termination.”Rachel’s eyes swept the room, daring anyone to challenge her. No one did.“That’s what I thought,” she said coldly. “Now get back to work before I make sure HR has a very busy afternoon.”With that, she grabbed my wrist and practically dragged me out of the office, my legs moving on autopilot as she led me toward the elevator. I didn’t protest. I didn’t have it in me.The elevator doors slid shut, sealing us in silence.Rachel exhaled sharply through her nose, arms crossed tightly over her c

    “Can you please let me in? I’m already late, and you know how Mr. Blackwood gets with his employees being late”I tried to keep the frustration out of my voice, but the way she was looking at me like she knew something I didn’t made my skin itch.Her smirk widened at the mention of Ethan's name. “Rough morning?”I blinked, caught off guard. “You… could say that.”Oh, she had no idea how rough my morning had been.She hummed, eyes lingering on me in that irritating, knowing way. “Mmm.”What the hell was that supposed to mean? Was a ‘mmm’ going to get me inside? I clenched my jaw, my patience running very low. “So… Can you let me in?”She tapped a perfectly manicured nail against the desk, her smirk deepening. “Are you sure you belong here?”I pressed my hand on my forehead wanting to scream out my frustration at her.What. The. Hell.Didn’t she just call me by my name a minute ago?I narrowed my eyes. “Excuse me?”She leaned in slightly, lowering her voice as if she was about to let m

    I should’ve just stayed in bed, and I wasn't even kidding.I knew today was going to be a mess the second I woke up, and the drama that happened just proved everything to be true. To make matters worse, I was already running late. My hair wouldn’t cooperate and stay in a freaking bun, my shirt had a wrinkle that refused to smooth out, and to top it all off, Ethan still hadn’t replied to my text.Looked like I was having the worst day on planet fucking Earth.I was checking my phone the whole ride to work, waiting for a reply from Ethan, or even a call from my mother telling me that what happened yesterday was one of her crazy attention-seeking stunts.But something told me that it wasn't.I checked my phone again, and still—nothing. The one time I needed Ethan to actually text me, he hadn’t sent a single reply.“Are you okay, miss?” The taxi driver asked, and I could see him watching me from the rearview mirror and he wasn't even hiding the fact that he was watching me.Jeez. Was I re

    I woke up to the smell of coffee and something frying in the kitchen which incredibly unusual.I sniffed again and identified it as pancakes and bacon. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming or that I was being robbed and the thief was kind enough to make breakfast, because that was a more realistic explanation to what was happening because Veronica Carter didn’t cook. Not unless she was trying to impress someone.I wasn't even sure if she could do any domestic work.I sat up still feeling sleepy, rubbing my eyes, and then I saw her.Mom stood by the stove, dressed in a fitted cream blouse and tailored pants, looking like she had just stepped out of a magazine.Damn, who on earth was able to look this put together this early in the morning? Her hair, which had been a disaster last night, was now sleek and straight, her makeup flawless. She even had on a pair of pearl earrings.I didn't even know if I owned a hair straightener, because how on earth was she able to do this, and where di

    Even as I walked home I was still grinning earlier to eat as I entered the taxi, my phone buzzed with a text from Ethan.Ethan: Remember tomorrow is Friday.Me: Looks like someone's excited.He didn't reply, he didn't need to be ahse the first sentence was enough to make my heart flip in my tiny little chest. I bit my lip, trying not to blush as the taxi driver did this thing. There was something perfect when your driver didn't try to engage in small talk, it just makes me want to give a full five stars.Finally I had reached my stop, I came down from the car as I hurried up the steps to my apartment. Tomorrow meant I was staying over meaning that I would be wrapped up in his sheets, waking up to him. The thought alone was to send me into overdrive But the second I looked up, the happiness I was feeling in my chest vanished.Right outside my apartment door was my mother looking like she was run over by a truck.Her legs were folded in a way that made it seem as if she had just coll

    “Are you going to be shy?” He asked as I shook my head representing a no. But it was obvious that my answer didn't satisfy him as his grip on my thighs tightened, I was sure that he would leave a mark “N-no I'm not going to be shy.” Who was I kidding, I was beyond shy, but with the way he looked at me with a satisfied smirk I knew this was going to be amazing. "Good." He said in a monotone. Without any warning he lowered his head trailing kisses on my thighs, my hands involuntarily touched his hair guiding him to where I wanted it. I could feel him smirking as he was kicking on my thighs. I felt immediately insecure, what if I smelt weird? or the tiny bit of hair icked him out? What if I didn't like it? But with the way he looked at me, every doubt cleared my mind, his tongue then kissed my labia, fuck! I didn't know that can feel so amazing. I felt his tongue enter into me kissing my clitoris as I held his hair tighter begging him to keep going. Then he lowered h
