Twenty-one and ready to take on the world, orphan Emma Gold didn't expect her chance encounter with a stranger to lead to a damnable task - to take down a rising business tycoon. Eric Pierce - her viciously handsome target and her new boss - might seem easy to break but he is anything but. Their attraction is fatal, so are his dirty propositions to possess her body. Emma is ready to sell herself as long as it pays her adoptive father's debt. What goes out of hand though are the feelings that

Breaking Mr Pierce Chapter 1 First meet

The man before me is gorgeous. He has a face like one of my dream guys with a chiseled jawline, dark curls which look messy, urging me to run my fingers through them, and his cheeks are endowed with a five o'clock beard. His blue, magnetic eyes are concentrated on my file as he lazily turns the sheets, looking like a professor checking exam papers. His gold watch reflects the light coming through the large glass wall behind him, adding to his charisma. Dressed in a deep grey three-piece suit covering his broad shoulders and lean muscles, his appearance commands the room.

The sight of him is so breathtaking that the moment I saw him I knew this plan was never going to work if I didn't manage to keep my imagination in check. When you read too many Book Tok romance books like me, you end up imagining yourself as the heroine every time a familiar situation presents itself.

"Miss Emma Gold.." the man begins in a deep voice that makes me squeeze my legs. He shuts the file and raises his eyes to my face. He puts his elbows on top of the file, resting his chin above as he studies me. "I'll ask one simple question - why do you want this job?"

I purse my lips, straightening in my seat. "Mr Pierce, I have researched all about your company. You have the environment and the management which I think perfectly suits what I'm looking for. If I'm given the position, I'll do my best to prove myself worth it.." He lifts a hand, waving it in the air to stop my rambling.

"Miss Gold.." He leans back in his chair like a man

who knows he owns the conversation without

requiring permission. "You've applied for the

position of my PA. The position does not only

require hard work and dedication but also

compatibility with me. You understand what I am

saying, right?" "I do."

He nods slowly, picking my portfolio again and

studying it. "Your qualification impresses me but the part about your interests and hobbies has me hesitating. Can you describe them to me in more detail?" "I like to read," I answer immediately. "I like to

read and knit and blog about stuff. It helps me pass

time." Mr. Pierce raises a dark eyebrow, shaking his head dismissively. "I have met thirty other applicants

with the same hobbies. What makes you special,

Miss Gold? Why do you think I should choose You?"

He drops my portfolio and his gaze on me

intensifies as if he can't wait to see if he is finally

getting on my nerves. My hobbies should have

nothing to do with the job criteria and yet he is

making this personal route of conversation sound

so official.

"Mr. Pierce, I do realize how my qualifications are

nothing out of the ordinary but I have been told

that I have a way of surprising people with my

dedication towards any kind of work. I'm

passionate about basically everything I do and

work is another passion of mine. I don't work to

earn but because I love work itself. It pleases me."

"Work gives you pleasure, Miss Gold?" A corner of

his lips lifts to form a boyish smirk. I can't deny it.

This man has charm.

"How much pleasure exactly?"

I sense the way his line of questioning is slowly

changing directions. He doesn't smile though. Even

his smirk is the tiniest curve. I doubt anyone has

ever seen this man smile. All his pictures in

magazines and last year's Forbes Top 40

Youngest Billionaires were devoid of a smile.

"I'll say if you give me the position, you'll find me

extremely pleasurable, Mr. Pierce. I have been told

to have great flexibility," I reply, squaring my shoulders. "For work of course.

Mr. Pierce's jaw remains hard as his eyes drift

down my body, taking in my cheap-expensive

Walmart dress which I specifically bought for this

interview. My job isn't to get the job. My job is to

get to him. I tried my best, just like I was told to.

My dark brown hair is tied in a neat bun at the back

of my head like a professional woman's but some

tendrils frame my face in perfect waves. I have kept

the make-up minimal but my lipstick is wine-red,

the color that most men find hard to not notice.

Mr. Pierce doesn't look impressed though as he

shrugs disinterestedly.

"Miss. Gold, I appreciate you coming in here but I

don't think you'll be able to meet my demands. I

want an assistant who can stand up to me, speak

up when I'm making a mistake, and not rush crying

to the bathroom at every criticism I throw at them.

Are you capable of managing that? Because to me,

you seem as ordinary as the numerous other

applicants who came in and sat here today."

"And you got that about my personality just by

sitting here and asking me useless questions?" I

throw back at him and then lean forward slightly,

meeting his gaze with confidence.

"If you really want to hire someone today, you might want to ask them something more relevant than about their hobbies. For example, give me a situation and ask

me how I'll handle it as your future PA."

"You're teaching me interview skills, Miss Gold?"

The man throws me a curious glance, visibly

offended. "You'll do well to remember which side of

this room you're sitting on."

"Didn't you just say that you wanted someone who

could stand up to you and point out your mistakes?

I'm doing just that, Mr. Pierce."

His jaw hardens further. He moves closer, resting

his forearms on the top of the desk and crossing

them over each other as he stares at me. I don't let

my gaze fall from the strong edges of his face and

his piercing blue eyes which compliment every part

of his name.

"Miss Gold..." His voice drops in depth, sounding

soft and carrying a seductive tune in it without an

intentional attempt. "You're playing with fire here.

I'm not like the men you read in your little romance

books who find your impulsiveness fascinating. In

fact, I'm quite the opposite because right now you're being nothing but annoying to me. I don't let his words bite me as I lean forward too, clasping my hands on top of his desk and resting my chin above them.

"Mr. Pierce, do you threaten anyone who points out

your mistakes? Because that makes your

personality look even less appealing. You had a

problem and I gave you a simple solution. You

should be thanking me."

"Give up arguing, Miss. Gold. You won't be able to

do it."

"I will if you give me a chance,

"I say.

"I'm not afraid of you. If you give me a chance, I'll prove it. I will never give up."

I notice the tick of his jaw, the twitch in a corner

muscle of his eye and I know that I have got him

where I want him.

"Miss Gold..." he says after a moment's silence.

"Yes, Mr. Pierce?"

"The job is yours," he declares and then pulls back,

leaning back casually in his revolving chair.

My eyes widen at this new turn of events. I didn't

think it would be that easy obviously. My limbs

tremble a little as I move back from his desk, my

mouth opening in surprise.

"Are you sure, Mr. Pierce?" I ask, thinking I must have heard him wrong.

"I am very sure. The job is yours..." Then the man finally smiles lightly - a wicked, wicked smile which

he is right to hide from the world because the sight

of it is chilling. 'for a month."

Damn it!

"A month?" I blink at him, even more taken aback

than the first time.

"Yes, Miss. Gold. I'm giving you one month to

prove yourself capable of being my PA. Your salary

will be triple the package I offered in the

advertisement if you can pass this one month

without disappointing me in any way. You'll get

your own apartment, your medical fees will be

taken care of by the company, you'll get a vacation

package and many other perks the job offers."

I swallow a gulp, imagining all that actually being

mine. It sounds like the deal of a lifetime. Even if I

had no interest in the job before, it fascinates me

now. Coming from a family of extreme depravity and

having lost my adoptive father a few years ago, I

have been struggling to manage my affairs for long.

His offer sounds so reliving that I find it hard to

believe this opportunity.

"Really? What's the catch?"

"Just one, Miss. Gold." Mr. Pierce lifts a hand to

rub at his bottom lip as his gaze on me deepens. "If

you lose, you'll apologize to me for this insolent

behavior in front of my whole staff. Is that done?"

The billionaire bastard gets up from his seat and

extends his hand for me to shake.

I force myself to smile, getting up too as I look at

his hand before taking it. His skin is hot against

mine and his hold is tight.

"I accept, Mr. Pierce," I say.

Welcome to Pierce Enterprises then, Miss. Gold."

He grips my hand harder in his. "I hope you have

an excellent time here."

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."
