ADLEYWhat’s wrong with me?This guy was attractive, had a good sense of humor, and we were into the same music and food. Yet, it didn’t feel right.I pulled away and stepped back. I could still taste the beer he had drunk. I could still feel my lips tingling as a reminder that he was a good kisser.We had met in a bar earlier tonight. After a few drinks, he took me to his place, and he didn’t initiate until I told him it was okay. His apartment was pretty decent, and there were no signs of a red flag. “What’s wrong?” His hands were cupped around my face. With my eyes still closed, I sighed, disappointed with myself. I honestly didn’t know what was wrong with me. I hadn’t had a boyfriend for a year now. That was why I tried going out there like every lonely woman should.I bit my lip as I opened my eyes to look at him. His brows met together as he looked down at me. He was tall, towering my five foot and two inches with four inches added, thanks to Louboutin.“I’m sorry.” I sighed a

MYKELShe’s fucking hot!Stunning. Exquisite. Before the situation became awkward, I made my point and left the woman after our quick sex. I was a one-night kind of guy. Most people knew that. I was a busy person; making my own empire and relationship was not my priority for the next ten years or more. Of course, a man still had needs once and a while. I was still a human in need of a woman’s touch. Then I saw someone walking out of Knox’s apartment. I was even shocked to discover that the woman I had with was living just next door, but I had no time to back out and change my mind. She made me hard, and she was a willing lay.In the next second, I was following the woman. She was short to be my type, even if she wore fuck-me-high-heels, but damn. There was something about her that triggered something inside me. I couldn’t take a good look at her face, but I knew by heart she was stunning, like a million-dollar piece of art. The more it got old, the more the value became pricey.My h

MYKEL Elise had a key to my penthouse, but she always rang the doorbell when I was home. Even if she knew I would never bring women to my loft, she still respected my privacy. That was why I cared about her a lot. “Morning.” She placed the bag I bought for her on the lounge chair before showing me my schedule on the iPad. I was generous to my employees, especially her and my security details, Sax and Kye. “Morning.” “I moved your meeting on Monday evening to the afternoon so you can have time to rest before your flight to LA.” She sent it to my phone. “It’s not a long flight, Elise.” “I know, but I don’t want you to complain of not getting enough sleep, and you’re a terrible boss when you’re lacking it.” “I’m not gonna stand in front of the UN councils. This is your idea, remember? Addressing and encouraging the youth to work for their future.” I quoted in the air. “It means a lot to me. I just don’t want you to change your mind.” “I know, and I won’t. You know I never back

ADLEY Fate hates me. I was looking forward to this project when Blaze told me who our client was. And honestly, I was picturing an old bald billionaire in my head, not this jerk who made fun of my non-existence sexual life. Despite our not-so-great second encounter, I couldn’t say no to clients because of our little dispute. I was taught to be better than that. And he would be our biggest client so far—a billionaire. I knew what it would do to our business—boosting the company’s image in return. “What really happened last night? Did Mr. Creed sexually assault you?” Blaze still looked perplexed. A girl could hope to be touched by those big hands, but that was not the point. “Nothing happened. He did not do something like that.” “But you’re not gonna tell me, are you?” I knew what was in his head. His eyes may be focused on the road, but his mind was running a mile. Blaze was driven by his goal as I was. It was just the two of us when we started this business. We kept in mind

MYKEL Damn it. She’s a pain in the ass. Or I am. She was so headstrong, and nothing seemed could break her. I knew she was attracted to me, and she was doing a bang-up job fighting it and staying professional as fuck. I was fucked in the head. What was I thinking? I’d never been attracted to anyone before that I was willing to jeopardize the trust of a hardworking woman. I admired her tenacity, though, and it pissed me off at the same time. What couldn’t a few days of work wait? Then I would ask her out, and she had no reason to say no when our working relationship was over. The billion-dollar question was, would she accept it? “I’m surprised you have time to drink.” Dash Chandler joined me in the VIP lounge at Night Stalker Club. He had been my best friend since college. We invested in one of our friends, Crypto and NFT Games, and we were both risk-takers regarding investments. “For you? Yeah.” “Cut the shit,” Dash called out for his drink. Thanks to one of my friends, Pyke,

ADLEY “Don’t be so quick to judge.” I groaned in annoyance as I shut my laptop close. “Personal space, please?” “Since when?” Blaze asked. “I saw the look in your eyes, Adley. He’s not bad. Actually, I admire that guy.” “What kind of look exactly?” I breathed out. Blaze knew me well, and he definitely knew when I lied. “You’re being a judgmental queen.” I raised a brow. “Really? I’m not being judgmental. He’s—” He pressed a finger on my lips. “Stop right there. You can’t judge someone for putting his passion and priority on top.” I grabbed his hands off. “I’m afraid I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Okay, denial queen. That guy started his empire from scratch. His father may be big-time, but nothing compares to what Mykel’s have now. He’s proven himself that not all the sons and heirs are brats. You of all the people should know that.” “I was just trying to figure out his personality and maybe his businesses.” And personal life, which was not surprising for many wom

MYKELMy father pissed me off. It was too late to fill the father of the year role.He’d been so persistent in being in my life again when he knew I didn’t need him anymore. He missed that chance a long time ago. When I needed him the most, he wasn’t there.“Mykel.” He extended his hand.“Dru.” I shook his hand just for the sake of the formality and this event, and I couldn’t change the fact that he was still the sperm donor.“Lyra wants to meet you, Mykel. Give her a chance.”My temper sent roaring. The audacity. “If she wants to see me, then you should bring her with you tonight. You know that I will be here. Will she be the last?”My father looked offended. I had known to have no filter. I would say it out loud if I wanted to express my feelings.“I hope so. Look, son. I will always love your mother. She’s your mother, but our marriage didn’t work out. You have to respect our decisions.”I narrowed my eyes at him. Honestly, I didn’t want him mentioning my mom again. “It wasn’t mutu

ADLEY“Check the availability of the Ratan set. If not, we should go for wood.” Our client wanted a contemporary outdoor, so we looked forward to giving her what she wanted.“On it,” Stella replied. The rest had their respective assignments.“That’s all, guys. Thanks.” I picked up my things from the table. “Blaze, are you up for this project?”“Of course. Do you have a date or something?” He smiled mischievously. I wish.A girl could hope. “Nope.”“So the planet-saver billionaire sent you home, huh?” Of course, he knew. I was relieved when I got home he was having fun with his friends because I knew him—Blaze would not stop until he got what he wanted.“It was my ride. The last thing I knew, he climbed into the backseat with me.”“A little defensive, aren’t we?”I propped my hand on my hip. “I’m trying to explain what happened because I know you won’t let it go.”“What did you talk about on the road?”I rolled my eyes. “Nothing.”He squinted his eyes. He wasn’t convinced. “Do you rea

MYKEL I received a call from Lex this morning. I knew it had nothing to do with me hitch-hiking his granddaughter’s ride. Now I wondered what this was all about. His office was classic and rich. He did not change anything since the last time I was his young protege. “Lex.” “Have a seat, Mykel. How have you been?” “Great. Thanks for asking.” I took a seat. “But this courtesy call has nothing to do with me, is it?” He gave me a shot of whiskey. “Thank you.” “I met your father yesterday. Imagine my surprise.” He sat back in his chair. I sipped the amber liquid before placing it on the coffee table. This old man knew his poison. “What did he say?” “That you and Adley are dating.” A smile spread across my lips. “And you don’t believe it?” In my twenty-seven years, even my father had never intimidated me, not in the case of Lex Kross, and I admired and respected the man sitting across me. “You don’t wanna double-cross me, Mykel. Don’t play with my granddaughter or with me. You’

ADLEY “Let me see if I got it right.” Mykel seemed to understand more than I expected. Of course, he was brilliant. Apparently, he was top of the class and graduated with honor. “Lex wanted you to work at Kross Corp., but you refused. He gave you an ultimatum or what?” “He wanted me to make babies with Gary.” “Excuse me?” He cursed under his breath. His eyes flashed with anger before he blinked it away. “Not exactly the exact words. Gary came to my office two days ago. He convinced me to work with my grandfather, insulted my business, called it a home makeover, and said I could make more money than I’ve been doing for the past years. In short, I’m wasting my time. Apparently, Grandpa invited him and his father over dinner at the mansion.” “I’ve always hated men bullied women. I may be an asshole, but I’d never done that in my entire life. So, you got your trust funds when you turned twenty-one, right?” “Yeah.” “The only thing you’re worried about is your parents’ shares.” “Yes
