He strides closer, his eyes focused intently on her. She found herself backing away until her back came hit the wall. Even then he didn't stop, closing the distance between them until he was standing directly in front of her. His palms slammed against the wall beside her head. He had successfully trapped her, preventing her from leaving. They were inches apart, staring into each other's eyes. Amelia felt her heartbeat speeding up as she stared up at him, having no other choice. She felt her breath hitch. "You are unfa..." "Always, baby." Adrian smirked sexily. "Welcome to your new workplace." ..... Adrian Black is the perfect example of a monster without feelings. A monster that will never let anyone in. He has everything a person dreams of. He is egoistic, merciless and arrogant. He's meticulous and calculative with his every step. The type to pay back what has been given to him. Amelia Hayes was married to Ethan Cavendish. For her this was one of the best things that had happened to her life. But everything was just an illusion. Two people, a man with possessive desires and a woman who have been hurt by love. Two paths that were certainly never meant to collide had crashed into each other in the most unexpected of ways. Is it just the destiny? Danger and seduction has its own part in their journey.

2. A Familiar Stranger
The next evening, Amelia stood in front of the mirror in her modest apartment, smoothing down the front of her dark blue dress. It wasn’t ostentatious but had an understated elegance that suited her current mood: guarded, determined, but still reeling from the events of the day before. She’d spent hours questioning why Adrian Black, a man whose name was synonymous with power, wanted to meet her.As she adjusted her earrings, her phone buzzed with a message:“Your car is waiting downstairs. – Adrian Black”“You arranged a car?”“I told you I would. Promptness is important to me.”He hadn’t sent a driver’s name or a car description, but when she stepped outside, there was no mistaking the sleek black sedan idling by the curb. The chauffeur stepped out, opening the door for her with a polite nod.The ride to the restaurant was silent except for the hum of the engine. Amelia’s mind churned with speculation, her gaze flickering between the passing city lights and the polished leather seats

3. The Wolves’ Den
Amelia adjusted her blazer as she stepped into the grand lobby of Black Tower. The space was as intimidating as its owner: sleek, modern, and unapologetically commanding. Polished black marble floors reflected the pristine glass walls, and a massive geometric chandelier cast intricate patterns of light across the space. A steady hum of professionalism filled the air as employees moved with purpose.She approached the front desk, where a woman in a sharp suit greeted her with a knowing smile. “Ms. Hayes, Mr. Black is expecting you. Please follow me.”Amelia nodded, following Natalie to a private elevator tucked away behind a column. The elevator hummed as it climbed higher into the clouds, its soft chime breaking the suffocating silence. Amelia tried to focus on the rhythmic rise of the floor numbers, but her reflection in the elevator’s mirrored walls betrayed her nerves. She was stepping into unknown territory, and Adrian Black was waiting on the other side.When the elevator doors s

4. The Unraveling
Amelia sat in the dim glow of her apartment, the only light coming from her laptop screen. The city outside buzzed with life, but inside, there was nothing but silence and the eerie glow reflecting off her wide, unblinking eyes. Her eyes traced over the email thread she had uncovered from Adrian’s flash drive, reading the ominous phrases over and over again.Cavendish Project: Phase One.She scrolled through the emails again, each vague phrase more unsettling than the last. “Acquisition strategies.” “Control measures.” “Necessary eliminations.” Her gut twisted. It didn’t sound like corporate restructuring, it sounded like war.She leaned back against the couch, rubbing her temples. What the hell is Adrian up to? More importantly, why was Ethan’s name all over these exchanges? The logical part of her brain screamed at her to stop, to shut the laptop, forget what she had seen, and disappear from this twisted game before it swallowed her whole. But another part, the part that refused to

5. The Edge of Control
The contract sat in front of her, a single sheet of paper that held more power than anything in her life right now, mocking her with its pristine, untouched pages. Next to it, her laptop screen still glowed with the Cavendish Project: Phase One email thread, its cryptic phrases swirling in her mind like a storm she couldn’t escape."Acquisition strategies.""Control measures.""Necessary eliminations."Amelia leaned back into the couch, staring at it. Not signing meant she still had a choice. Signing meant surrendering to Adrian Black’s world. And she had no doubt that once she stepped into his world, there would be no escape.She hadn’t slept. She couldn’t. Ethan’s warning played over and over in her head."He’s not just coming for Cavendish. He’s coming for you."The words should have sent her running. But instead, they pulled her deeper. Because if Adrian was playing a game, then she needed to know what kind of piece she was on his board. A part of her had suspected Adrian was dang

6. Boundaries That Don’t Exist
The scent of blood and whiskey still clung to the air. Amelia stared at the blood staining the contract, the deep red seeping into the stark white paper, spreading over the bold letters of her name, the ink smudged beneath the dark crimson stain.The silence stretched between them like a blade, sharp and unyielding. Across the desk, Adrian stood still, too still, his jaw locked, his grip on the shattered glass tightened, his knuckles white. The sharp contrast of his perfectly tailored black shirt against the violent slash of blood sent an uneasy chill down her spine.The tension in the air was suffocating, but he didn’t move. Neither did she.Something about the rage simmering beneath his surface sent a thrill of unease down her spine. Not because she feared him, no, the terrifying part was that she didn’t.Because at this moment, she knew one undeniable truth. Adrian Black would burn the world down before he let anything happen to her.And that should scare her.She should run. But s

7. The Contract That Changed Everything
The pen felt heavier than it should.Amelia’s fingers hovered over the contract, her heart pounding in her ears, the words blurred together in her mind. Once she signed, there would be no going back. That’s all it would take. The contract sat between them, untouched, pristine, except for the dried blood staining Amelia’s name.She had spent the night turning over every possibility in her mind. She could walk away. She could ignore Adrian Black and everything he had placed before her. But deep down, she knew she wouldn’t. Because Adrian had been right.She had spent years building something for Ethan, only for him to discard her like she had been nothing. She had watched as men, powerful men took credit for her work. And now, for the first time, someone was handing her power.It didn’t matter that Adrian had his own motives. What mattered was that this time, she wouldn’t be the woman standing in the shadows.One stroke of ink, and she would step into Adrian Black’s world, a world where

8. The First Move
The silver bracelet sat heavy in her palm. Amelia turned it over between her fingers, her stomach twisting as she ran her thumb over the engraved word.Mine.Not a gift. Not an accessory. Not a meaningless trinket.A claim.Her jaw clenched.Adrian Black never said the words. He didn’t have to. His actions spoke louder than anything else.She had signed the contract. She had walked into his world. But she had done it on her own terms. And if Adrian thought he could brand her like some pretty little acquisition, he was in for a rude awakening, he was about to learn exactly how wrong he was.She grabbed the bracelet and marched straight to the living room.Adrian sat near the floor-to-ceiling window, his posture unbothered, effortless. A coffee cup rested beside him, his phone in one hand, a document in the other.He didn’t look up as she approached. But she knew he felt her presence.“You’re up early.” His voice was smooth, like a man who was always in control.She tossed the bracelet

9. Playing with Fire
The black chess piece sat on Amelia’s desk, its polished surface reflecting the soft glow of her office lamp.The queen.She turned it over in her fingers, her stomach tightening as she reread the note beside it. A message. A warning. A game. But from whom?"Careful where you step, Ms. Hayes. The ground isn’t always stable."Someone was watching. And whoever it was, they knew exactly what they were doing.Amelia wasn’t naïve enough to think this was just another corporate rivalry. This wasn’t just a challenge from an executive who didn’t like a woman in power. This was personal. Someone had been watching her. This was calculated. Testing the waters. And that meant someone believed she was a threat.Her fingers curled around the chess piece, her nails biting into her palm. Fear wasn’t an option. Not now. Not ever. If someone wanted her to back down, they had severely underestimated her. And if Adrian Black had any involvement in this? She was going to find out.…..The elevator ride to

10. Tempting the Devil
The words on the document stared back at Amelia like a ghost from the past."We know who she really is."Her blood ran cold. A chill wrapped around her spine, but she masked it well, her fingers tightening around the edge of the paper as she stared at the bold, unforgiving text. The world around her faded, the murmurs of executives, the hum of the city below, even Adrian’s towering presence beside her. None of it mattered.Because someone had dug into her past. Someone had found something. And if they knew, if Adrian knew, what would happen next? She swallowed hard, forcing herself to keep her expression blank.Adrian took the document from Celeste with a slow, deliberate motion, his jaw tightening ever so slightly. Beside her, Adrian’s body tensed. His gray eyes flicked to Amelia. Reading her. Calculating.Celeste stood still, waiting for his reaction, but Amelia already knew. Someone had made a move. A deliberate one.Adrian exhaled slowly before his gaze flicked to Celeste. "Who se
