Elena Romano knew how to play the game.Seduction. Manipulation. Revenge.For years, she had studied the art of destruction, learned how to strike where it hurt the most. She had built her empire in the shadows, away from the ghosts of her past.But now, she was walking straight into the lion’s den.Killian’s world.And tonight?She was ready to burn it down.The night air was thick with the scent of power, money, and sin.The Graves Estate stood like a fortress, a mansion of glass and steel, looming over the city like a kingdom of shadows. Inside, the annual masquerade ball was in full swing—New York’s most powerful figures dressed in black and gold, their faces hidden behind delicate masks.Elena stepped into the grand hall, her gown a deep shade of crimson, a color that spoke of war and temptation.She wasn’t here to blend in.She was here to be seen.The room was alive with whispers. Who was she?Who was the woman who walked in like she owned the place?And then, she felt it.The

Elena sat on the edge of her penthouse balcony, a glass of whiskey in her hand, staring out at the Manhattan skyline. The city lights flickered like embers in the dark, but her mind wasn’t on their beauty.It was on him.Killian Graves.Every interaction with him felt like dancing on the edge of a blade—dangerous, sharp, intoxicating.But she wasn’t here to get lost in the past.She was here to end him.Her phone buzzed beside her.A message.Victor DeLuca: "We need to talk. Tonight. The club."Elena smirked. Right on time.Victor was powerful—one of Killian’s biggest enemies in the underworld. If she was going to bring Killian down, she needed someone just as ruthless to back her.She downed the rest of her drink and stood.It was time to set the next phase of her plan into motion.Across the city, Killian leaned against the massive glass windows of his office, his whiskey untouched on the desk behind him.His mind was still reeling from his encounter with Elena at the masquerade bal

Elena sat in the dim glow of her penthouse, perched on the edge of her leather couch, staring out at the sprawling skyline.The whiskey in her glass remained untouched, the ice cubes slowly melting.Her body was still wound tight from the events of the night before.Killian had played her like a master. He had humiliated her, destroyed her leverage, and made her look like a fool.But worst of all?He had done it on purpose—not just to win, but to toy with her.Her fingers curled into a fist.She should have anticipated it.Killian Graves never fights fair.The memory of his voice from earlier echoed in her mind.“You underestimated me. That was your first mistake.”Her jaw clenched.If he thought this was over, he was wrong.Her phone vibrated beside her. She picked it up, expecting Victor—expecting threats or a demand for an explanation.But instead, the screen flashed with an unknown number.She hesitated before answering.“Elena Romano.”The voice on the other end was smooth, calcu

Elena stood on the balcony of her penthouse, the wind teasing the silk of her robe as she clutched the note Killian had left on her bed.Her home—the one place that was supposed to be untouchable—had been breached.Not by assassins. Not by rivals.But by Killian Graves.Her pulse pounded in her ears as she reread the words scrawled in his unmistakable, arrogant handwriting:"Nice try, sweetheart. But you’re walking straight into my trap."A trap.Her grip on the paper tightened.She hated how he did this—how he always made the first move, always got under her skin. But what she hated more was the fact that a part of her… liked it.Liked the danger.Liked him.Her phone vibrated, and she grabbed it from the table. Another message from an unknown number.Are you scared yet?She let out a slow breath, willing her heartbeat to steady. She wouldn’t give him that satisfaction.Instead of replying, she deleted the message and tossed the phone back onto the table.If Killian thought she was g

Elena stormed into her penthouse, her breath coming in short, ragged bursts. Her fingers tingled from where they had gripped Killian’s suit, from where they had pulled him closer instead of pushing him away. She yanked open the minibar and poured herself a glass of whiskey, barely registering the burn as she downed it in one go. What the hell had she done? She had kissed him. Killian Graves. Her enemy. Not just kissed him—she had let herself feel something. And that was dangerous. Because men like Killian? They destroyed women like her. The soft chime of her security system alerted her that someone was outside. A second later, her phone buzzed. Unknown Number. Open the door, sweetheart. She let out a bitter laugh. Of course. Because Killian Graves never let anything go. She walked to the door, took a deep breath, and swung it open. Killian leaned against the doorframe, looking infuriatingly calm. His shirt was slightly rumpled from the fight, but his eyes were sharp,

Elena yanked her wrist free from Killian’s grip, her chest rising and falling with barely contained fury. The cold night air did nothing to soothe the fire raging inside her. "You don’t get to decide where I go, Graves," she snapped, stepping back to put distance between them. Killian’s jaw tensed, his dark eyes locked onto hers with an intensity that made her insides coil. "And you don’t get to play reckless when Victor DeLuca wants your head on a silver platter." She hated that he was right. Hated that she could still feel his touch, his grip lingering on her skin like a brand. And worst of all? She hated that beneath all the fury and tension, there was something else. Something dangerous. Because Killian Graves wasn’t just another powerful man. He was a storm. And Elena was standing in the middle of it, daring the lightning to strike. But she wasn’t a woman who backed down. She straightened, crossing her arms. "You don’t scare me, Killian." His lips curled, slow and de

Elena had lived in danger before. She had been hunted, betrayed, and forced to survive in a world where trust was a weakness. But living under Killian Graves' protection? That was something else entirely. Because he wasn’t just her shield against Victor DeLuca. He was the fire threatening to consume her. And that fire was getting closer. When Elena woke, the room was bathed in the golden hues of sunrise. The scent of leather and expensive cologne lingered in the air, a subtle reminder of who owned this space. And now—who owned her. She sat up, brushing the sleep from her eyes. The penthouse was silent, the kind of eerie stillness that made her feel watched. She hated that feeling. She wasn’t a prisoner. Not really. But she wasn’t free, either. With a sigh, she climbed out of bed, slipping into the silk robe she found on the chaise lounge. It fit perfectly—too perfectly. Killian had planned for this. For her. Her stomach tightened as she padded barefoo

A War That Had Just Begun The scent of gunpowder and blood thickened the air, mingling with the rich aroma of leather and expensive cologne. Elena pressed her back against the heavy wooden desk, her heart hammering in her chest as she tried to make sense of the chaos unraveling before her. Killian disappeared into the storm of bullets like a shadow of death, his every move precise, effortless, and devastating. This wasn’t just an attack. This was a declaration of war. And Killian was answering with blood. The gunshots echoed through the penthouse, shaking the very foundations of the luxurious fortress she had thought was impenetrable. But nothing was untouchable—not even Killian Graves. Not even her. ________________________________________ No Mercy She forced herself to move, crouching behind the desk. Her breath was ragged, her hands trembling as the reality of the situation set in. These men weren’t here to rob them. They weren’t here to negotiate. T

The war had begun.Elena sat in her office at Graves Enterprises, staring at the encrypted message on her phone."Watch your back. The next hit is yours."Her fingers tightened around the device, the weight of the threat settling in her chest like a slow-burning fire. She didn't need to guess who it was from. Victor DeLuca was making his move, and he was making sure she knew it.She exhaled slowly, her mind racing. The attack was coming. The only question was—when?A knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts. Killian strode in, his towering presence instantly filling the room. He looked like he hadn’t slept, his dark suit slightly undone, his usual control slipping beneath the surface."You’re thinking too much," he said, closing the door behind him."And you’re underestimating the situation," Elena shot back, lifting her phone. "DeLuca just made it clear—I’m next."Killian’s jaw tightened as he took the phone from her hand, scanning the mes

The city lights flickered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Killian’s penthouse, casting long shadows over the luxurious suite. The silence was thick, heavy with the weight of secrets. Elena Romano, or rather, Raven Black, stood frozen in the dimly lit hallway, her heart hammering against her ribs.She had been careful—silent as a ghost, slipping through the penthouse to uncover what Killian Graves was hiding. But she hadn’t been careful enough.A deep voice cut through the darkness.“You shouldn’t be here.”Elena turned sharply, her pulse spiking. A man emerged from the shadows—Damian Cross, Killian’s right-hand man. His piercing eyes locked onto hers, unreadable yet sharp enough to slice through any excuse she could conjure.She straightened, masking her nerves with a smirk. "I got lost on my way to the kitchen. This place is a damn maze."Damian didn’t buy it. He stepped closer, the weight of his authority pressing down on her like an unspoken t

The soft glow of city lights flickered through the penthouse windows, casting elongated shadows across the polished marble floors. The scent of expensive whiskey and lingering gunpowder still clung to the air, remnants of the war they had fought mere hours ago. Elena sat stiffly on the edge of the leather couch, her hands clasped tightly together as she watched Dante’s unconscious form resting in the guest suite.Killian leaned against the doorframe, his shirt slightly unbuttoned, revealing the hard lines of his chest. He watched her in silence, his stormy gray eyes calculating, unreadable.“You’re reckless,” Elena finally muttered, breaking the heavy silence.Killian’s lips curled into a smirk. “I saved your brother’s life. You’re welcome.”Elena’s jaw tightened. “That’s not the point. You went in there like a damn lunatic! If Victor had planned this as a trap—”“But he didn’t.” Killian pushed off the wall and stalked toward her, his every movement oozing c

The night was thick with tension, the air suffocating in its stillness. Killian stood in front of the massive screen in his private office, his jaw clenched as the video played.Dante was on his knees, his face swollen and bloodied, his hands bound behind his back. The dim lighting of the warehouse cast eerie shadows over his features, making him look almost unrecognizable.Then, a familiar voice—deep, cold, and full of malice—cut through the silence."If you want him alive, come alone. No security. No tricks."The message ended, leaving only darkness on the screen.Elena’s heart pounded as she turned to Killian, her throat dry. His face remained unreadable, but she could feel the storm raging beneath the surface."Victor isn’t stupid," she murmured, breaking the silence. "He knows you’ll come for Dante, and he’ll use it to take you down."Killian exhaled sharply, tilting his head as he studied the frozen frame of Dante’s battered face."Of cours

Elena woke up with a heavy weight against her body. Warm. Possessive. Unyielding.Killian.Her eyes fluttered open, finding herself tangled in his embrace. His arm was draped over her waist, his grip firm even in sleep, as if he feared she would slip away. The events of the previous night burned in her mind—his hands, his lips, the way he had claimed her as if he owned every inch of her.Her heart hammered in her chest. This wasn’t part of the plan.She had promised herself she would use him, seduce him, make him believe he held the power—only to shatter him in the end. But now, she was the one caught in his web.Carefully, she shifted beneath his grip, attempting to slip out of bed without waking him. Killian stirred slightly but didn’t wake. She exhaled in relief, sliding out from under the covers and grabbing her discarded dress. She needed space. She needed clarity.But as she stepped into the bathroom, her breath hitched.A message was scrawled

The morning sun filtered through the tall windows of Killian’s penthouse, casting a golden glow over the silk sheets that wrapped around Elena. She stirred, her body aching from the emotional and physical battle of the previous night. As her mind cleared, realization hit—she wasn’t in her own room.Her breath hitched.She pushed herself up, finding herself alone in the massive bed. The air smelled of Killian—his intoxicating cologne lingering in the sheets. Panic surged through her.Before she could scramble out of bed, the door creaked open.Killian.Dressed only in black sweatpants, his sculpted chest bare, he leaned casually against the doorframe, watching her with a smirk. His dark eyes roamed over her, taking in the way the sheet clung to her curves."Leaving so soon?" His voice was rough from sleep, yet sharp with amusement.Elena's fingers clenched the sheets. "How did I get here?"Killian strolled closer, the air between them thickening w

The heavy door slammed shut, the sound reverberating through the dimly lit penthouse suite.Elena’s heartbeat pounded in her ears as she turned to face the man who had just locked them inside. Killian stood in front of the door, his broad frame blocking any exit, his dark eyes burning with uncontrolled fury."You think this is a game, sweetheart?" His voice was low, dangerously calm—the calm before a storm.Elena crossed her arms, refusing to be intimidated. "Everything is a game to you, Killian. I’m just playing by your rules."A smirk tugged at his lips, but there was no amusement in his eyes. In a flash, he closed the distance between them, backing her against the floor-to-ceiling window. The city lights flickered behind him, but all she could focus on was the sheer power radiating off him."You wanted my attention?" he murmured, his breath ghosting over her lips. "Now you have all of it."Elena refused to look away. "And what are you going to do with

Elena Romano had always known that revenge was a patient game. But tonight, she wasn’t going to be patient. Tonight, she would step into the lion’s den and remind Killian Graves exactly who he had underestimated.Standing before the mirror in her penthouse, she slid her hands over the silk of her deep crimson gown. It clung to her curves like a second skin, the dangerously high slit revealing just enough to be tempting. The plunging neckline and open back left little to the imagination—but that was the point.If Killian thought he could parade his engagement in front of her and she would simply watch, he was dead wrong.A knock on her door pulled her out of her thoughts. She turned to see Elias Carter, the man she had chosen as her perfect distraction for the night.“Damn, Raven.” His voice held appreciation as his sharp gaze raked over her. “You do know that showing up like this will drive him insane, right?”She smirked. “That’s exactly what I want.”E

The air inside the towering skyscraper was thick with authority, power, and the unmistakable presence of Killian Graves.She had spent the entire night strategizing her next move, mapping out ways to take him down, piece by piece. Yet now, standing here, she felt his presence before she even saw him.A shiver danced along her spine.Then, a deep voice cut through the silence."Ms. Black."She turned slowly.Killian stood near the elevator, his broad frame clad in an impeccably tailored black suit. His silver cufflinks gleamed under the bright lobby lights, but it was his storm-gray eyes that held her captive—piercing, cold, and calculating.A slow, almost lazy smirk tugged at his lips. Dangerous. Intoxicating."Mr. Graves," Elena greeted coolly, forcing a polite smile.His eyes flickered with amusement. "How interesting. You’re back at work a
