Locked together in the storage room

Selena’s heart raced as Julian’s hand clamped over her mouth, pulling her behind a towering shelf filled with dusty files and old office supplies. The dimly lit storage room suddenly felt claustrophobic, their bodies pressed close together. Julian’s scent—a mix of cedarwood and something distinctly him—filled her senses, making her pulse quicken.

“Who left the storage room open again?” a guard’s voice grumbled from outside.

Selena stiffened, her eyes wide as she looked at Julian. His expression was calm, but his dark eyes glinted with amusement.

“Probably those careless employees,” the guard continued, his voice fading as he muttered to himself. Then came the unmistakable click of a lock.

The sound echoed like a death knell in the silent room. Selena froze, her gaze snapping to Julian, whose hand was still over her mouth. He seemed entirely unbothered, his smirk growing as his eyes locked onto hers.

A wave of heat rushed through her, her cheeks burning. She pushed his hand away, her v

    Selena shifted uncomfortably on the cold floor of the storage room, stealing a glance at Julian. To her surprise, he was already looking at her, his dark, intense gaze catching her off guard.Her cheeks warmed, and she quickly looked away, pretending to adjust the hem of her skirt. What was wrong with this man? His mood swings were more erratic than anything she had ever encountered. One minute he was teasing her, and the next he was dead serious. He was nothing like the cold, menacing man she had first met—threatening her with that wicked grin and his cutting words. But despite the occasional glimpses of softness, he was still the same arrogant, cunning jerk she couldn’t figure out. Clearing her throat, she finally spoke up, breaking the awkward silence. “Shouldn’t you call someone? It’s getting late.” To her surprise, he didn’t tease her this time. Instead, he nodded, pulling out his phone. “Fine.” Selena blinked, thrown by his lack of resistance. Was he... cooperating?

    Few days later -Selena tossed her phone on the couch and sank into it, frustration bubbling inside her. Over the past few days, her phone had been blowing up with calls from various media companies, all asking for interviews or suggesting projects based on her "retirement." She didn’t understand why they were so persistent or where they had even gotten her number. Celebrity contact details were guarded like state secrets, and she had been out of the spotlight long enough to fade from the public eye—or so she thought.Grabbing her tablet, she scrolled through social media and news sites, her blood boiling as she stumbled upon several articles speculating about her so-called retirement. “The Decline of a Star: Selena Frost’s Silent Exit from the Industry”“Once a Queen, Now a Has-Been? Selena Frost’s Career in Limbo” Her jaw tightened as she read through the baseless rumors. “This is ridiculous,” she muttered. “It’s not like I officially announced anything about retiring!” Sur

    The dining room hummed with the soft clinking of dishes as Selena stacked her plate atop her sister’s. The faint aroma of roasted chicken and garlic still lingered in the air. Her father leaned back in his chair, the lines on his face softened with the warmth of family and a lingering hope. “Selena,” he said, his voice steady but tinged with concern, “I’m still looking for someone who can help you. Don’t worry; we’ll figure it out.” Samantha stood beside him, nodding as she dried her hands with a dish towel. “He’s right. You’re not alone in this. Take care of yourself, okay?” Selena’s throat tightened as she placed the last dish in the sink. She turned to face them, her eyes glistening but her lips curving into a grateful smile. “I know. Thank you—both of you.” Samantha crossed the room first, pulling Selena into a firm hug. “You’ve got this. Just… call me if you need anything, even if it’s something small.” “I will,” Selena whispered, squeezing her back before stepping to

  • Tied To The Heartless Billionaire   Why she never considers me?

    Julian lounged on the couch in the living room, the soft glow of his phone illuminating his face. He stared at the photos his hired man had sent—Selena sitting at a dinner table with her family. His lips curled into a faint smirk as he scrolled through them. "So, that's it? A family dinner," he muttered to himself. "Here I thought she was off having some scandalous affair." He tossed his phone onto the coffee table and leaned back, rubbing his temple. The relief was unexpected. For reasons he couldn’t quite put into words, the thought of her meeting someone secretly had left a sour taste in his mouth. When the door opened, Julian's eyes flicked up to see Selena walking in. She looked tired, pulling off her hat and sunglasses as she kicked off her shoes at the entrance. She stopped mid-step when her gaze met his, her body tensing like a deer caught in headlights. “What are you doing here?” she asked, her voice hesitant. Julian raised a brow and crossed his arms. "This is my h

    Monday - Julian sat at his desk, the weight of the morning’s workload spread out before him. His pen moved swiftly across the paper, signing document after document. The room was silent save for the faint scratching of his pen and the soft hum of the air conditioning. Clara entered quietly, clutching a folder tightly to her chest. Her usually composed demeanor was tinged with unease, and Julian immediately noticed.“Speak,” Julian said without looking up, his voice sharp yet calm.Clara cleared her throat. “Sir, I wanted to report something... about Selena.”Julian’s pen froze mid-signature. He glanced up at Clara, his sharp gaze immediately making her hesitate.“She’s been doing well,” Clara continued quickly, her tone betraying her nervousness. “She’s catching on to her tasks fast, and she hasn’t caused any major issues since you assigned me to oversee her work.”Julian raised a brow, leaning back in his chair. “And yet, you’re here.

    Julian paced back and forth in his office, the heavy sound of his leather shoes echoing through the room. Over the past few weeks, he had intentionally assigned Selena the most tedious and unpleasant tasks, expecting her to snap under the pressure or come crying to him for help. Instead, to his growing frustration—and perhaps begrudging admiration—she completed each assignment with unwavering determination.Not once did she complain, misuse her position as his wife, or attempt to dodge her responsibilities. In fact, she often exceeded expectations, leaving even some of the senior employees impressed.“She’s not just a spoiled princess after all,” Julian muttered to himself, a slight smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “Interesting.”Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to summon Selena to his office. He pressed the intercom button and instructed Clara to send Selena in. As he waited, he walked to the window overlooking the office floor. His sharp eyes scanned the room

    Selena sat in the back garden, her fingers absentmindedly pulling at the blades of grass beneath her. Julian’s words replayed in her mind like a haunting melody: “A failed actress.” She clenched her jaw, trying to hold back tears. She had been called many things in her career—arrogant, difficult, even cold—but this label stung the most because, deep down, she feared it was true. Her once-bright career was now a distant memory. She thought of the flashing lights, the red carpets, and the adoring fans. It all felt like a lifetime ago. Now, she was stuck here, playing house in a marriage that wasn’t real and doing menial tasks in a company where people saw her as nothing more than a charity case or a punching bag. "Am I really just a failure now?" she whispered to herself. Her chest tightened, the ache of her insecurities clawing at her. She had sacrificed so much for her career, yet it had crumbled in an instant. Lost in her thoughts, she didn’t notice Cassandra approaching until

    Julian was sitting in his study, the faint glow of his desk lamp illuminating the stack of documents he was reviewing. He had just started making some progress when his phone buzzed on the desk. He glanced at the screen, recognizing the name instantly: Ethan. Ethan was one of his oldest friends, someone he had managed to stay in touch with despite his busy life. But Ethan wasn’t the type to call for small talk. Julian sighed and picked up the phone. “What do you want, Ethan?” “Julian! Is that any way to greet an old friend?” Ethan’s voice boomed through the line, full of energy and excitement. Julian pinched the bridge of his nose. “I’m busy. Get to the point.” “Well, Mr. Busy CEO, I’m back in the country!” Ethan declared. Julian raised an eyebrow. “You’re back? What happened to that extended stay in Europe?” “Got bored. Anyway, everyone’s meeting at the usual spot tonight—the bar. You’re coming.” Julian leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temple. “I don’t have time

    Samantha paced her bedroom like a caged animal, her heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor. Her hands were clenched into tight fists, her nails digging so deeply into her palms that crescent-shaped marks were forming. Her phone lay on the vanity, its screen still glowing with the last call she had received.The words spoken to her echoed in her mind, louder and more infuriating with each passing second. "We can’t call her anymore. If we do, our company will be sued." Her jaw tightened as she replayed the conversation in her head. "What?" she snapped, her voice sharp enough to cut glass. "Who the hell is threatening you?" The pause that followed had been brief but loaded, as if the person on the other end was weighing their words carefully. "Julian Mathers." Samantha had nearly thrown her phone across the room. Now, standing in front of her vanity, she seethed. Her reflection in the mirror showed a woman on the edge of madness—her chest rising and falling with ev

    The next day, Selena was still ignoring Julian. She had been furious when she stormed out of his office the previous day, but now that her anger had simmered into cold silence, she was determined not to give him the satisfaction of a reaction. She didn’t look at him in the car on the way to work. She didn’t acknowledge him when he greeted her in the office lobby. And she definitely didn’t speak to him when they entered the elevator together. Julian, however, was growing impatient. He was used to their arguments, their little fights—hell, he even enjoyed their constant back-and-forth. But this silence? It was infuriating. And if she thought she could freeze him out, she had another thing coming. So, naturally, he decided to annoy her. The elevator was packed, filled with employees shuffling in, whispering among themselves about work and gossip. Selena stood stiffly in front of Julian, arms crossed, staring straight ahead as if he were invisible. A smirk played on Julian’s l

    Julian sat in his study, the dim light of the desk lamp casting long shadows across the room. His fingers drummed restlessly on the polished wood of his desk, his mind a whirlwind of frustration and regret. The events of the past few days replayed in his head like a broken record—Selena’s cold indifference, her sharp words, the way she had looked at him with such disdain. He leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair. "Why the hell is she so stubborn?" he muttered to himself, his voice tinged with exasperation. But deep down, he knew why. He had crossed a line, and he knew it. That night, under the influence of anger and that damn mysterious phone call, he had lashed out at her. His words had been cruel and unforgivable. The way he demanded she sleep with him for a role, reducing her to nothing more than a prostitute. And now, he was paying the price. Julian groaned, rubbing his temples. "What the hell was I thinking?" He tried to calm himself, to reflect on h

    Selena stiffened the moment she heard Grayson's name. Her fingers curled into fists at her sides, her breath catching in her throat. The memories of that day came crashing in her and she shuddered. Her lips parted, but the words felt heavy, suffocating. She wanted to tell Julian exactly why she would rather rot than take this role—but she couldn't. Instead, she forced herself to stand tall, masking the turmoil swirling inside her. "I’m not interested," she said coldly. Julian's brows furrowed, his jaw tightening. "Not interested?" he echoed, disbelief lacing his tone. "You were desperate for an opportunity, and now you're just—rejecting it?" Selena swallowed hard, gripping her arms to steady herself. "I don’t need your help anymore," she glared at him. "So?" he drawled, his deep voice laced with amusement. "This is what you wanted?" Selena stood in front of him, arms crossed, her expression hard as stone. There was no amusement in her face—just cold fury. "What I want

    After the meeting, Julian returned to his office with lots of thoughts in his mind. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Grayson had agreed too easily and quickly. It wasn’t like him to be so...cooperative.He sat down at his desk, his thoughts drifting back to Selena. Why had he even mentioned her? His chest aches at the memory of their argument and how she was on the verge of crying and he rubbed his temples, trying to push the thoughts away. He didn’t owe her anything. He didn’t even 'like' her. So why was he helping her?"Damn it," he muttered under his breath, leaning back in his chair. He didn’t understand why he cared. But the truth was, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. About the way she had looked at him, the way she had fought back even when she had nothing left.He sighed, running a hand through his hair. He would talk to her about the movie. Not because he wanted to help her, but because he had made a promise. And Julian Mathers always kept his promis

    Mr. Grayson sat in his office, his jaw clenched so tightly it ached. The sting of Selena’s slap still burned on his cheek, a constant reminder of the humiliation he had suffered. A 'mere actress', a 'nobody', had dared to strike him.Him! A man of power, of influence. The audacity of it made his blood boil.He slammed his fist on the desk, the sound echoing through the room. "That 'bitch'," he muttered under his breath, his voice trembling with rage. "Who does she think she is?"He pulled out his phone and dialed his manager, his fingers trembling with anger. The call connected after two rings."Grayson," his manager’s voice came through, calm and professional."Find out everything you can about Selena Frost," Grayson snapped, his voice low and venomous. "Where she is, what she’s doing, who she’s working with. I want to know 'everything'."There was a brief pause on the other end. "Selena Frost? The model-turned-actress? I thought she fell off the radar after that scandal.""Well, she

    Few days later -Selena stepped into the restaurant, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. The place was upscale, with low-hanging chandeliers and plush velvet booths, but the atmosphere felt suffocating. She adjusted the strap of her purse, her fingers trembling slightly. This was her chance. Her 'only' chance. She couldn’t afford to mess this up.The director, a man in his late fifties with a receding hairline and a smug smile, was already seated at a corner table. He stood up as she approached, his eyes raking over her from head to toe in a way that made her skin crawl."Selena," he let out, his voice smooth but laced with something she couldn’t quite place. "It’s been a while. You look... stunning, as always.""Thank you, Mr. Grayson," she replied, forcing a polite smile. She slid into the seat across from him, her stomach churning. She could feel his gaze lingering on her, and it took every ounce of willpower not to squirm."So," he began, leaning back in his chai

    Julian ran a frustrated hand through his hair, his jaw clenching as he watched Selena storm away. What the hell was he doing? He let out a low groan, leaning back against his desk. His fingers curled into fists as a memory flashed through his mind—one that he hadn’t allowed himself to think about in years. Selena. Standing on a bright stage, cameras flashing, her signature dazzling smile lighting up the entire room. She had just been named the youngest top model of the year. Julian had been there too—not as an honored guest, not as one of the powerful figures shaking hands with her—but as a mere assistant to the photographer covering the event. Back then, he was just another nameless face in the crowd, watching her from behind the lens. She had been untouchable. A goddess in human form. And he? He was nothing. Just a man with a borrowed camera, standing in the shadows, admiring her from a distance. How ironic was it that now, she stood right in front of him—no longer

    The words hit her like a punch to the gut. Her heart stopped. Her stomach twisted. Did she hear him right? Her lips parted, but no words came out. He was…he was joking, right? But no—his eyes told her he wasn’t. Pure amusement danced in his expression, like he was watching a little bird trapped in a cage. Selena’s hands trembled. She didn’t know whether it was anger, shock, or something far more dangerous twisting inside her. She couldn’t even breathe properly. “W-What the hell?” she finally whispered. Julian tilted his head to have a better look of her nervous eyes. “What? I thought we were making deals, Selena.” Her body stiffened. She searched his face, desperate to find some sign that he was just trying to mess with her. But there was nothing. Only cold amusement. This was what he thought of her, wasn’t it? That she was just another actress willing to do 'anything' for fame. Julian watched her, soaking in every single reaction. It was fascinating, real
