Kaelon’s POVRinggg! “Hello.” I said tiredly into the mouthpiece.My eyes widened in surprise and I immediately slammed my phone on the table and hurried out of the office. In ten minutes, my car was parked in front of Aaron’s condo. He had gotten the apartment for himself, when he first began college. I didn’t pay much attention to it since I knew he needed some space for himself too.But why on earth would he fucking want to kill himself?The moment I stepped through the door, the sharp tang of alcohol stung my nostrils, mingled with a faint metallic hint of blood. My eyes became dark and I fisted my hands into a tight ball as I made my way into the living room.My chest tightened as I took in the scene before me. Aaron was slumped on the floor and around him were shattered glass and spilled wine. Blood seeped from shallow cuts on his arms and knuckles, marking his reckless attempt to drown his pain or punish himself. His shoulders shook, though no sound escaped his lips, and h
Liv’s POV“Fuck, Kaelon!" His hands gripped me firmly and possessively. He planted soft kisses all over my lips, while his hands grazed the exposed part of my thighs.He lifted me up and my legs instinctively wrapped around his torso. I couldn't place how we got to where we are and to be honest, I could not give two fucks about it.Anywhere in Kaelon's arms was worth losing myself. He laid me gently on the bed and began trailing wet kisses down my body.I could feel my pussy already dripping wet. My body arched towards him as he explored my body. He grabbed at my breast and after fondling it for a while, he began sucking and nibbling on the hardened nipples. “Tell me what you want.” He asked in a low and seductive tone. “I want you Kaelon.” I whimpered as his hands went into my wet core easily. He sucked on my nipples as he began thrusting into my core with his fingers.I could feel my orgasm building as he increased his pace and finally I came all over his hands. He took out his
KaelonI had hoped for a peaceful morning at work, when I stepped out of the house. But I had barely stepped into the building when my secretary hurried to intercept me. She looked flustered, which wasn’t unusual, but today there was an edge to her voice that set me on high alert. “Sir, your son is here,” she announced. I stopped in my tracks and felt my hold over the briefcase in my hands tighten. “What do you mean, he’s here?” “He arrived not long ago. I believe he’s already made his way to the third floor,” she explained. “Miss Bennett was seen driving in shortly before, and he seemed to follow her.” My stomach tightened. Aaron wasn’t supposed to be out of bed yet, let alone storming through my company like he owned the place. And now, knowing he was trailing Liv? It set my nerves ablaze. “Where is Evelyn?” I asked after my Personal assistant.“She left for a meeting with the board of directors for the construction company.” My secretary replied. Louisa Jonas. I looked
Aaron’s POV“Hey, Liv, wait up!” I called out to her as she hurried down the hallway of the fourth floor.She was fast, too fast. By the time I reached the elevator, I caught only a fleeting glimpse of her slipping into the stairwell before I had the chance to get in with her.I wished I knew why she is being so persistent in breaking off our engagement. Men cheat all the time. All the time? My conscience pricked at me a bit.Okay, I know it was to the extreme to cheat on the eve of our wedding, but Viv was like a skilled seductress.Passing blame now?“Damn it!" I cursed silently and made my way through the flight of stairs, clearly ignoring the pointed looks and whispers from the staff I brushed by. The sunlight hit me like a slap when I burst into the open lot, squinting against the glare as I scanned the rows of cars. My chest heaved with exertion, adrenaline pounding in my veins. There she was, halfway across the lot, her anger etched into every movement. She climbed into
Liv’s POVI parked my car a few blocks away from Lara's office. The only thing that ran through my mind was to find a way to get Lara to defend me against Aaron and his crazy friend.If Aaron thinks he can play mr smart, I wanted to show him how sluggish his thinking was.The hell, he slept with my fucking stepsister then night of our fucking wedding eve!The thought only made the ache in my chest seem to throb harder. I’d kept it together all the way back from the Blackwood corporation, gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. The moment I killed the engine, the silence in the car pressed in on me, demanding to be acknowledged.“No,” I muttered to myself, blinking back the sting of tears. “It’s not worth it.”Aaron Blackwood wasn’t worth it. His wealth, his charm, his promises, none of it was worth my dignity. And worse still, there was no fucking way I'd sleep with him again, after sleeping with Kaelon.My phone buzzed, snapping me out of my spiraling th
Liv’s POVThe biting chill of the late afternoon air clawed through my coat, slipping through every vulnerable crack and pressing into my bones. I shivered as I drove, convincing myself for the hundredth time that I wasn’t going back because of Kaelon, but because of my work. I could not understand how one Blackwood would annoy me to the bones, while just hearing the other one speak made my knees weak.I feel so fucked.“I am not returning because Kaelon summoned me. I am returning because my boss summoned me through HR.” I muttered as I turned on my car and drove out of my father's ranch.The only problem was, no matter how much I tried to rationalize it, my heart refused to listen. Every beat screamed Kaelon's name and another way to help my mind was by first changing out of this seductive outfit.I made a quick stop at the apartment. The sharp wind hit me as soon as I stepped out of the car, sending another violent shiver down my spine. I pushed through the glass doors, gratefu
Kaelon’s POVStaring into her soulful hazel eyes was the most captivating moment for me as those words left her mouth.“Say it again.” I whispered allowing my lips graze her earlobes teasingly, while my hands moved in a tormentingly slow manner up and down her spine.“I’m yours Kaelon, all yours..” She replied.I could hear her voice trembling, but I knew it was not from fear.I smiled.“Kaelon…” Her voice trembled, and I couldn’t help but lean in, brushing my lips against her ear.“Shhhh… You don’t need to say anything,” I whispered, my breath warm against her skin. “I know what you’re feeling. Don’t fight it.”She didn’t answer. But she didn’t need to. Her body language told me everything. The way her chest rose and fell in rapid succession, the way her lips parted just a fraction, the way she leaned into me without even realizing it.I was done playing around.My hand moved to her back, pulling her toward me, the space between us closing in an instant. Her breath hitched as she f
Liv’s POVMy pussy had lost touch with my brain, because if it did not, it would not have been exposed the way it was and be fucking wet with need for the one person in the world it shouldn’t be that way towards.And to make it worse, he was six inches deeply buried inside me and drivng me insane.In his fucking office, Liv Bennett! Psst.. I shut the brain off and returned my attention to the man thrusting his hard dick inside me, like his life depended on it. “Fuck..” I moaned as Kaelon took his dick out and flipped me over.As he withdrew his dick, I felt temporarily empty, but as I was back on all fours, he pulled me closer and inserted his dick back into my wet pussy where it belonged.I gasped as the sensation hit me all over again. He resumed thrusting in hard. I felt my orgasm begin to build again. Kaelon grabbed at my hair and I couldn’t help but yelp in pain, but the pain was short lived.I enjoyed the pain mixed with the pleasure I was recieving from my wet core. He sur
Kaelon's POVThe air in the boardroom was thick with the scent of expensive cologne and freshly brewed coffee. A long mahogany table stretched before me, filled with board members in their tailored suits, their eyes fixed on me as I wrapped up my presentation. The quarterly report had been solid, but I could sense a shift in the room—something off. A strange energy buzzed beneath the surface.Then, the door swung open.Louisa, my secretary, never interrupted meetings. Never. The people seated at the table turned their attention to her But now, she strode in with hurried steps, her face pale. She leaned down, her perfume faint under the rush of my pulse as she whispered, "Sir, you need to see this."She slid her phone into my palm, the screen already open to a blog post that made my blood run ice cold.KAELON BLACKWOOD AND LIV CARTER’S SHOCKING AFFAIR—SHE DUMPED THE SON FOR THE FATHER!I didn’t blink. I didn’t breathe.I couldn't because I might break from the immense cold that su
LIV’S POVThe plan was to spend the next two weeks at my fathers ranch. I never really planned for any of these. No fucking person ever does!I had entered my car after a couple of hugs and goodbyes with Rose, Lara and Vio. I drove off.The road ahead blurred through the veil of unshed tears clouding my vision. My fingers clenched around the steering wheel as I forced my foot off the gas, the car slowing to an uneasy stop on the side of the deserted road. My pulse hammered in my ears, drowning out the hum of the engine as I reached for my phone, already dreading what I’d see.The screen glowed in the dim interior of the car, displaying countless notifications—texts, calls, news alerts. My breath hitched as I opened the first link.KAELON BLACKWOOD AND LIV CARTER’S SHOCKING AFFAIR—SHE DUMPED THE SON FOR THE FATHER!A strangled sob clawed its way up my throat. My trembling fingers scrolled down, past the cruel words and the damning images splashed across the page. Pictures of me and
VIV’S POVThe room was dimly lit, the soft glow of the bedside lamp casting long shadows across the luxurious furnishings. I leaned back against the plush velvet headboard, my fingers tapping impatiently on the sleek surface of my laptop. My heart pounded, not with nerves, but with anticipation.I had been waiting for this moment.A scandal this big needed to be executed with precision, and I had made sure to cover my tracks. No one would trace it back to me. I reached for my phone, my fingers brushing over the smooth glass before I brought it to my ear."Is it done?" I asked, keeping my voice low."Almost," the distorted voice on the other end replied. The vocoder app I was using made me sound unrecognizable. "The post will be live in ten minutes. I made sure to include all the pictures and just enough juicy details to send the internet into a frenzy."A slow smile curled my lips. "Good. And you made sure it was anonymous?""Of course. By the time anyone tries to trace it, the origin
KAELON’S POVThe office was quiet except for the faint hum of the air conditioner and the rhythmic tapping of my fingers against the polished wood of my desk. The city skyline stretched out beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, but my focus wasn’t on the view. It hadn’t been for days.“No, Kaelon. I can’t do this. I can’t be part of a lie. If you can’t trust me enough to be honest with me, then I don’t know what we’re doing here.” Her voice kept replaying in my head for every single time I wanted to work or turned to look at the sofa. She was almost everywhere and that was eating me up.I was trying to work. Trying to lose myself in the endless reports and figures in front of me. But no matter how many contracts I approved or how many meetings I scheduled, one thought remained—Liv.I had done this to myself. I had been the one to suggest going public, to push the conversation that sent her retreating like a deer startled in the woods. I had been reckless, and now she was gone. And it
LIV’S POVSince the day I stormed out of Kaelon’s office, I have done my best to stay away from him as much as I could.He kept calling but, “Who gives a shit?” I murmured as I rolled my eyes.The silence between Kaelon and me stretched for days, thick and suffocating like a storm cloud that refused to break. How did he transition from wanting to go public about our relationship to not wanting to go public anymore? As if it had all been a mistake. As if I had been a mistake. I sat on the edge of my bed, the soft glow of my bedside lamp casting long shadows across the room. My phone lay next to me, untouched, its screen dark. I had checked it more times than I wanted to admit, hoping and praying that he would reach out again. But he didn’t. Maybe he was caught up with work or whatever.I could not help but wonder why he was now pushing me away. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to hold in the anger that simmered beneath my skin. I had told him I wasn’t comfortable wit
VIV’S POVWhatever the fuck my father said that made me come here? It needs to be recorded and kept on a constant replay. The crisp morning air carried a whisper of autumn as I stepped out of the towering office building, my heels clicking against the pavement. The interview had gone smoothly—expected, considering my father had arranged this internship months ago. It was merely a formality, another move in his grand chess game. But this particular firm had ties to Blackwood Corporation, which meant occasional visits to the empire that had once been my world.I didn’t linger on that thought. My phone buzzed just as I reached my car. The name flashing across the screen made my heart lurch. Az. The investigator.I exhaled sharply and tapped the message open: I have something. It’s big. This will destroy her, but Blackwood Corp goes down with her. Do you still want it?My fingers tightened around the phone as a thousand possibilities rushed through my mind. What could he have found t
KAELON’S POVAfter a while of staying together, I knew that I had to tell her something important. We had to come clean to the public before whoever was snooping around did. It would be devastating , but it will be more managed that way.“Kaelon,” Liv said, her voice tight, her gaze unwavering. She’d been quiet for a while now, but I knew she was stewing on something. She always did when she was worried, when something didn’t sit right with her. “What’s going on? What’s really happening?”I ran my hand through my hair, trying to think of a way to calm her down. Trying to find the right words to explain without escalating the situation further. “I think we’ve been compromised, Liv,” I said finally, my voice low. “Someone’s been watching us—watching you.”Her eyes narrowed, but she didn’t speak right away. She was waiting, letting me continue. I had to get it all out before she started asking questions I didn’t know how to answer.“I don’t know who, but I have a feeling it’s someone cl
LIV’S POVAs I stepped through the door, I could feel the weight of the moment settle in. There was something about this place—something about Kaelon—that made everything else fade into the background. The faint hum of the office, the quiet bustle of people behind the walls, none of it mattered when I was with him.I offered Evelyn a polite nod as I passed her, noting the curious glance she gave me. She was always so composed, but I could feel the subtle tension in the air between us. Evelyn had a way of knowing everything, and she didn’t miss much. I wondered what she thought of me, but it wasn’t something I wanted to dwell on today. As I stepped further into the room, I caught sight of him at his desk, his gaze already on me. His lips parted in a smile—one that made my heart race in an instant. He didn’t even need to say a word. His eyes spoke volumes, and I could feel the warmth of his affection washing over me like a tide.I didn’t hesitate. My legs carried me forward without a s
Kaelon’s POVThe thick, suffocating tension in my office made it hard to breathe. The lights above hummed low, the kind of sound that seemed to gnaw at my nerves, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off—something I hadn't quite pinned down yet. I sat at my desk, staring at the screen in front of me, the numbers from the latest report blurring together. "Mr. Blackwood," Evelyn's voice cut through the quiet hum of the office. She had been standing in the doorway for a few moments, observing me, and now she stepped forward, her tone sharp, her expression calm but knowing. "We need to talk."I looked up from the screen, my jaw tightening. Evelyn had always been cool, collected—almost eerily so—and that was why she was so good at her job. But today, her usual composed demeanor didn't reassure me. There was an underlying tension in her movements, a sense that she was as unsettled as I was."What is it?" I asked, my voice rough with frustration. "This situation with my offi
