Chapter Fifty-one: The gift from Veronica Carter

The clock on the wall ticked away the minutes, each one dragging me closer to my stupid dates or what ever the hell it was supposed to be.I could cancel, he's that might work. I could pretend to be sick, make up some excuse, and save myself the trouble of sitting across from Ethan Blackwood while he smirked like he had already won. Maybe that’s what bothered me the most that he had bought me.No matter how much I tried to sugarcoat it up as a charity auction, no matter how much I told myself it didn’t mean anything, the reality was still the same. Ethan had thrown a million dollars just to get me alone for one night.And I knew why, because he wanted me and men like him don't no for an answer and this was another way to remind me that no matter how hard I fought against him, I was still in his hands?My fingers curled into the sheets and I took a decision , I wouldn't go, I would let him show up to some overpriced restaurant alone, humiliated, knowing that for all his money and powe

Chapter fifty-two: Finally! A decision for myself

I used to think I had escaped my mother and that as long as I worked hard enough, fought hard enough and became my own person, I would never have to put up with listening to her crazy idea. But I was so wrong, I held up the dress she had brought touching the silky fabric as I realised that I had never truly left, she was still there as always planting thoughts in my head and reminding me what I came from, and what I swore I would never become. I couldn't help as memories of my childhood that I thought I had long forgotten flooded my mind. Our home was not really a home, it was a stage, where my mother was at the star performer, the boyfriends came and went like the seasons and of course each one was wealthier than the last and of course each of them was making promises that they never intended to keep. Some of them played house with me pretending they cared and others never even bothered but none of them stayed behind because they never loved us. I had learned early that men lik

chapter Fifty-three: The out of ordinary date

Ethan didn’t do ordinary things, he always took things two steps forward shocking everyone, and now I was beyond shocked.He had rented a freaking private rooftop for the dinner, it wasn't enough that he paid a huge amount of money to make me his date, he had to rent a private rooftop.The city view was beautiful but it was nothing compared to the world Ethan had created for just the two of us, the rooftop was enclosed in glass and had candles making it give a real first date kind of vibe, there was white tablecloth with fine silver wear and over a hundred fresh roses arranged on the floor and table.The air smelled like jasmine and our from Ethan's own scent, everything was breathtaking and the fact that he and taken his time to plan this made it even more romantic.Maybe he did it to disarm me and I wasn't going to deny that it worked.“Is it up to your taste?” He teased me and for a moment I couldn't even speak, I gripped the hem of my dress trying to find my words but how could I

Chapter fifty four: The desire he made me feel

The sane part of my stupid brain was telling me that I shouldn't give in to him but why was I considering it? I knew exactly what it would mean if I did.Ethan was the kind of man who thrived on control, he practically fed on submission, and if I surrendered now and begged him like he wanted, I would be handing him every ounce of power I had left.And yet my body betrayed me.Everywhere he had touched burnt me leaving me breathless, and he was during it on purpose. He had known, from the moment I walked into this place, that I wouldn’t leave the same.He looked at me as if he was certain that I would beg, he knew I was close to breaking. He could feel it.Damn him! But what if I didn’t fight? And for once I just let go, all my resistance was crumbling as I released a shaky breath."Please."It was practically inaudible, but from the way his gaze darkened I knew he had heard me, his smirk was so cocky like he knew he had won."Again." His voice was lower now with an edge to it, I swall

Chapter fifty-five: The skeletons in my cupboard

I took a long shower when I got home, it was just to wash off his smell and touch from my skin but no matter how much I saw the water run over me, I could still feel his touch, lips and the way he made me beg.I closed my eyes as I pressed my forehead against the cool tile, I couldn't believe I begged him, I wanted to slap myself.right across the face.I pushed the thought to the back of my head as I wore my pajamas and went straight to bed but every time I closed my eyes I was transported to our time together at the rooftop.I rolled onto my side still feeling frustrated, I was restless and unsatisfied as my mind was stuck in a loop and I couldn't forget the way he controlled me so effortlessly.Why did I like it so much?I forced myself to breathe slowly, I just needed sleep. Everything would make sense in the morning.But as I drifted off to sleep, another memory surfaced, it was a different man, and a completely different touch when I was ten.The memory was too vivid and I could

Chapter fifty-six: The Roses and the Trap

All I could see on my desk were roses, lots and lots of them. They had to be more than a hundred—no, thousands of them.I wasn't going to deny that they were beautiful. All the deep, blood-red petals were everywhere. They flooded my desk, spilled onto the floor, and climbed up my chair like a living thing. I didn't know if they were glued to my entire damn workspace.Some bouquets sat upright in expensive crystal vases, others were scattered like and instead of the usual scent of coffee and printer ink, the office smelt like sweet roses.It seemed as if immediately they saw me they stated gossiping.“Oh my God, Sophie.”“This is insane who even does something like this?”“It has to be Ethan.”Of course, they all assumed it was Ethan. Who else could it be? Who else had the power, the arrogance, to pull something this dramatic?Everybody was screaming excitedly like this was the most romantic thing they had ever seen and even though it did look romantic I wasn't excited because I knew

Chapter fifty-seven : Locked in a car with the devil

From the way he was walking like a man with a purpose, I knew I was in trouble and the worst thing was that he still hadn’t put me down.His arms locked around me with an effortlessly tight grip. I could feel the tension rolling off from him, his eyes looked very focused like he was holding everything back.“Put me down,” I snapped, squirming against his hold, but he just ignored me.The elevator dinged, and in three steps, he carried me straight through the underground parking lot.I looked around, wondering what the hell we were doing here, but he wasn't saying anything and all I could do was to try and get cozy while he carried me like my prince charming from hell.I raised my brow in confusion when I saw his sleek, black jaguar, I started thrashing again as I realized what he wanted to do.“Ethan, don’t you dare—”He didn't reply to my question instead the motherfucker just unlocked the door with one hand and then put me inside as if was light as freaking air. Before I could move

Chapter fifty-eight: She tripped and fell

I stormed back into the office, my heart still racing from our argument in the car. My face was beet red as whispers filled the air. I mean, Ethan Blackwood had carried me out of the office bridal-style. Maybe they all thought we went for a quickie. The flowers at my desk were gone. Thank God. If I had to throw another temper tantrum, someone was getting set on fire and it was going to be Ethan. I collapsed into my chair, finally accepting the harsh truth—Ethan Blackwood was the weapon fashioned against me. And I needed to end this, t job, this situation—whatever the hell this thing between us was. Before I could think twice, I clicked open my email and began typing my resignation. Dear Mr. Blackwood, I hesitated for a minute as my fingers hovered over the keyboard, but the words blurred in my mind. What was I even supposed to say? That I was quitting because my boss was an arrogant, insufferable control freak who made me feel things I didn’t want to feel? That I needed to run

Chapter Fifty-nine: First-Class Torture

I should have known Ethan Blackwood wouldn’t just book a regular flight like a normal human being. No—he had to go over the top, proving once again that being extra was practically his full-time job. The moment I arrived at the airport, there was no check-in, no security lines—just a sleek black luxury car waiting to whisk me straight to a private jet. Because of course, Ethan Blackwood wouldn’t fly commercial like the rest of us. His initials, EB, were embossed in gold on the side, just in case anyone forgot who the plane belonged to. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had hand-picked my wardrobe for the trip. Everything had already been taken care of. My passport, my visa, my itinerary—probably even the contents of my suitcase. It should have infuriated me. Instead, I found myself gripping the handle of my suitcase a little tighter, because something about how easily he took over my life was making my stomach flip in ways I didn’t want to acknowledge. Ethan was already

Chapter sixty: A Mile High Mistake

"I'm going to kiss you now," Ethan murmured, his voice dangerously low.I practically stopped breathing.His fingers brushed my jaw as the space between us shrunk to nothing. My heart pounded with every nerve screaming in anticipation.I should move. I should say something, but I didn’t and then there was a loud unwelcoming knock.I jerked back so fast I nearly fell off the seat. My face burned with embrssement and my lips still tingling from the kiss that almost happened but he didn’t even flinch his gaze just stayed locked on mine for a second longer than necessary, his fingers grazing my wrist before he finally let go.The person knocked again even more insistent this time."Come in?" Ethan said adjusting his tie.The cabin door swung open and in a very polished, very enthusiastic flight attendant with a pretty smiled stepped in.And of course she had to be gorgeous.“Mr. Blackwood,” she purred, stepping forward with the kind of effortless grace in heels that I could never manage—e
