Eve's POV

I hadn't expected him to sound so... Terrified. It would seem my concealer did nothing to hide the markings on my face. Was that why Sasha and her Colleagues had been looking at me weird? Could everyone see the bruises? 

Adam walked round his table with long hurried strides until he stood mere inches before me. He raised his hand to hold my face but caught himself just in time and snapped it back. 

"Eve," He whispered, "What the hell happened?" 

For the umpteenth time that day, I fought the urge to cry. Why did he sound so concerned? He shouldn't be concerned about me! I had hurt him! I had lied to him! I hadn't told him the full truth and yet he was so nice, it was hard to watch.  

I gave him a weak smile, one I knew didn't amount to anything but I couldn't help it. What was I supposed to tell him? That Tom dealt with me like this regularly? Th

  • The Billionaire's Submissive   Hurt

    Adam's POVThe workload never seemed to decrease. I had sent half of my mornings, signing and scribbling in documents and going through proposals from teams in the HQ and from other branches. I had plans to establish two more branches in Europe and while Paris was thriving well, I had been trying to figure out a way to establish on German soil.But that would mean making a deal with a German investor and those guys were quite tough to crack. I wasn't worried though. I was certain that with proper planning, and the right tools, even the hardest nut would get cracked.Mother had called that morning too, saying something about me having to meet Madeline and of course I had refused. I wanted nothing to do with that bitch ever again. She ought to be grateful that I hadn't had her thrown in jail for what she did to me. Instead she had befriended my mother, conniving with her.I shou

    ADAM'S POVEve shook her head, pressing her lips together. "Please stop asking me that,""Eve," I growled and wanted to yank and pull at my hair in frustration. If I had thought Madeline drove me crazy, I clearly hadn't anticipated Eve. There was no other woman in the world who made me feel complex emotions at the same time!"I don't want to lie to you again," She said and I felt my chest squeeze again. She was sad about this as well. "I'll answer your questions later, perhaps. But that isn't why I'm here and... I don't think I can handle your questions for now.""So, should I just assume you had done it on purpose? That you had deceived me Because you wanted to cheat on your husband?!"She simply shook her head and I sighed and leaned back in my chair. There was nothing I could do then. She wouldn't talk to me. And by all rights, Eve wss Harrison's wife. There was li

    TOM'S POVI whistled as I drove down the road to the restaurant Adam Stone had chosen. I was on fucking cloud nine. I had been since last week when his secretary called to inform me that a meeting had been rescheduled already.I glanced behind me at the back seat. I had all my files and the contract ready. I was fully prepared. And I was sure I would stun the shorts off Adam Stone, all he would want to do was invest! This was it! This was my stroke of luck, soon I would be as rich as that pompous bastard and I would call the shots.I was so damned happy, I had gotten Eve a pretty necklace set. I had no idea how she had been able to pull it off and frankly that was a bit worrisome. But I didn't care much. As long as my billion dollar contract was secured, I was good.I parked right before the restaurant, grabbed my materials and walked through feeling on top of the world.

    ADAM'S POVI had sat there in the restaurant listening to Tom rant about his fucking Casino whole imagining nailing his head to the door of the chandelier every damned minute. It had been so hard to sit still and maintain a blank head while watching the bastard talk animatedly about his dream casino.When all I wanted to do was beat the shit out of him.Where, in my mind, all I could see was him laying hands on Eve.It was exactly why I had chosen a restaurant. Meeting him in an enclosed place would test my self control severely. I couldn't trust myself not to injure him. I had hoped that with people around me, I wouldn't act so impulsively despite the strong urge.He was solely responsible for the terror I had seen in Eve's eyes, multiple times. He was a horrifying monster! No one could convince me otherwise.He hadn

    Tom's POV I waited until I was settled in the car before I whipped out the phone again, going through my guard's messages. A letter. A damned letter. Who on earth could possibly send it to her? I had worked my ass off to ensure that all Eve had was me in the entire world. I had made sure of that. So who on earth would send her a letter? It was damn annoying. I tapped rapidly on my phone, dialing the guard's number. "Boss?" His gruff voice filtered through the receiver. "Under no circumstance, should that letter get to my wife," I ordered. He remained silent for a while before responding. "Okay, got it boss." He didn't get it. It was clear in his voice that he didn't get it at all. But I didn't

I spat as I read through the blog post on my phone."That's way too many curses in one sentence," Micheal chuckled through the receiver and I wished he was here so I could glare right at him."This isn't funny!" I snapped, reading the article some wannabe journalist had uploaded on her blog.'Madeline Black and New York's finest billionaire bachelor, Adam Stone, said to be engaged.Sources: Madeline Black herself.'"It isn't?" My best friend teased me and I could imagine the look on his face. He would have an impish grin as he looked at me. "The whole world knows you're engaged... Except you. That's true Disney romance right there.""Micheal," I growled. He had the knack of throwing bants when I didn't fucking need them.

    Eve's POV"Madam, another package came in today," Nuren informed me.I sat at the dining table, picking at the fruit salad she had made. "A package?""Yes," She replied, walking towards me with a small brown box. "It's from the master,"With a sigh, I watched her drop the box on the dining table, rocking her feet excitedly. She must be excited to know what was in the box.It had been a week after meeting with Adam. Tom had come home in a good mood a week after I had met with Adam and that reassured me that Adam definitely met with him. Ever since that day he had sent surprise packages home.Aware of Nuren's excited gaze, I reached for the package with a sigh, knowing what was in there couldn't be more than a necklace.Probably something expensive that was studded with diamonds or

A huge headache, the size of Everest. I always knew she was crazy, I just never thought I'd bear the brunt of her insanity- again."We're working on it-" Sally said and I resisted the urge to yell. I was sure she was trying. I just didn't like that it took too fucking long!"It's been a week, Sally. A whole fucking week!" I growl, my feet hitting the ground rapidly as I march to my office. I had tons of files to read through. I had a presentation meeting in Greece the next day. I had so many things on my plate, I didn't need this hassle.

I gripped the counter, hanging on, waiting, anticipating.Cold air whipped against my exposed skin as he yanked down the dress and tossed it aside. His breathing was ragged as he trailed kisses down my arched back, to my ass.He let out a hiss, smacking the cheeks, sending painful thrills up my spine and down to my pussy."Adam," I moaned, pushing against him. "Oh please, please."‘Ah fuck, I love it when you beg," he mumured huskily, giving me another smack. Heat pooled between my thighs and my juices spilled down my thighs. Another smack and soon he had me writhing and mewling begging him to give me what I wanted. What we both wanted."So fucking eage

I had to send the video of Tom molesting Eve to her and that seemed to change everything.That seemed to reveal the truth.They seemed fine now, happy.They had hugged and held each other for hours, weeping buckets while I stood there watching. It tore me to bits, seeing her cry. But she needed it. I knew that."You did good," Mother said, joining me on the balcony where I stood. "I'm sure you've made her very happy.""Thank you mother," I murmured while taking a sip from my brandy. "That was the goal.""Oh," my mother arched her brow in a manner that told me she had something else to say. "And the goal

I had spent the past few days in Adam's arms.But as much as I enjoyed his presence,I feared that it would all end. I tried to push away those thoughts, telling myself that I was just being paranoid.As I opened my eyes, I saw his face looming over me, a smile playing on his lips. It sent a shiver down my spine and a soft sigh slipped from my lips. Adam leaned in closer, his eyes darkening with desire. The air between us crackled with tension.“Hey,” I whispered.“He

With the way she had cried, you would think Adam was carting me off all the way to the moon. But I was sure she was only too happy for me.The drive was quiet. And yet it felt so... Peaceful. The days after the incident at the warehouse had felt like that. Slow and peaceful and it was good.In the meantime.His house... Scratch that, his mansion was huge!The gate creaked open as we approached, revealing a long driveway lined with blooming cherry blossom trees. The mansion loomed ahead, its grandeur taking my breath away.

    Adam's POVFour days. They passed by in a blur. I couldn't remember much about what happened, but I could remember how I felt every single second.Afraid. Terrified. Devastated. Nothing had prepared me for what I had seen. Nothing had prepared me to lose Eve.When Tom had shot her, I was pretty sure I went mad. It had taken Micheal and the police to pry me off a bloodied Tom by the time I was done. The ambulance took its damned sweet time to arrive so while I called the pilot to the private jet, Micheal had checked her wound and helped do first aid. And I had held her in my arms on the flight home.Pale. She grew pale rapidly. Her pretty skin had lost its color until she looked so drained it terrified the shit out of me.I could feel the weight of her in my arms, her breath shallow and weak against my chest. Panic surged thr

One would think he was on his way to attend a freaking birthday party with how excited he looked."Will you stop grinning like that?" Adam who sat in the passenger seat said with a concerned look. "It's fucking creepy man."Micheal chuckled and took a sharp turn at the same time, earning a glare from his best friend. It had been a while since they left Isabella Stone mansion and frankly he had expected Adam to rain down his questions.Instead, his best friend behaved as typical as anyone would expect Adam Stone to. He sat in the passenger seat quietly, occasionally glancing at him. If Micheal had to guess , he would say Adam was trying to connect the dots and figure out who or what he was exactly.

"With that grin on your face, I'm not so sure I want you to meet her.""Oh please, I have to. I need to know the woman who makes you do the craziest of shit," Micheal crackled, walking ahead of me into my mother's house."Try not to say shit when you meet her,""Shit like what?" he asked innocently and I just knew he was going to try something crazy when he saw Eve.We stopped by Mom's study to say."Hello, boys," Mom greeted us with a warm smile.

"I'll signal the men."After a whole damned argument session with Barlow, he finally agreed to help. But what could possibly be much more valuable to Adam Stone? If we could get him to take back the charges and then say he had come up with the fake proof and lied that we were trafficking then everything would be solved.There was nothing the word of a billionaire could not accomplish.
