Chapter 1 THE BEGINNING

While the rest of the party swirled with laughter and champagne, I was locked inside the luxurious bathroom of my billionaire boss's penthouse-legs trembling, hands gripping marble as his body claimed mine with the intensity only years of power could breed.

If someone had told me years ago that I'd end up tangled in silk sheets and secrets with Kendrick Hale-the man old enough to be my father-I would've laughed in their face.

But nothing about this was funny. Nothing ever had been.

My name is Bekky. I'm 25 years old. And for the past year, I've lived with and worked for Kendrick Hale, the billionaire tycoon who once offered my family salvation...at a cost we couldn't refuse.

My father borrowed $800,000 from Kendrick when I was a baby, hoping to save my mother's life and start a future for us all. When things fell apart, repayment turned into servitude.

Now, I'm his personal secretary by day. And something far more dangerous by night.

I've learned to smile through silk restraints. To moan through shame. To love and hate the man who owns my body-and maybe, just maybe, my heart.

---

The door clicked shut behind him. No lock. There never was. Kendrick didn't need locks when he controlled the air I breathed.

His scent hit first-oud and spice, expensive and sharp-carried by the quiet confidence of a man who had everything and everyone at his feet. He moved toward me without speaking, his dark suit jacket sliding off his shoulders and landing silently on the vanity.

I stood there, trembling, my hands pressed flat against the marble counter, my reflection a blurry mess in the gilded mirror. My silk dress was hiked above my hips, my panties already somewhere on the floor. My body knew this routine-this ritual. But that didn't make it easier.

"You didn't answer your phone," he murmured, voice low and laced with disapproval.

"I was in the meeting you scheduled," I replied, forcing calm into my tone.

His hands landed on my hips, rough palms against soft skin. "Don't be smart, Bekky."

And just like that, the power shifted again. My breath caught as he pushed into me, slowly, deliberately, like he had all the time in the world. My fingers curled against the countertop. I bit my lip hard enough to taste blood.

His grip tightened, pulling me back to meet his every thrust. Each movement felt like a reminder: You belong to me. No one else will ever touch you this way.

I hated how my body responded to him. Hated that the heat between my legs betrayed the fire in my chest.

Because the truth no one knew-not the company, not the society women who flirted with him at fundraisers, not even my own damn father-was that Kendrick Hale had broken me down and rebuilt me into something he could mold. Something silk-wrapped and obedient. Something desperate and addicted.

When it was over, he leaned into my ear, breath hot. "Clean yourself up. And come back to the party. You're wearing my red."

He didn't wait for an answer. He never did.

---

Ten minutes later, I stood at the edge of the ballroom, the crushed silk of my dress clinging to flushed skin. Kendrick was across the room now, laughing with someone important, swirling bourbon in a crystal glass. He looked untouchable. Powerful. Devastating.

And I was just... his.

I sipped my champagne, watching him from beneath heavy lashes, my body still humming from his touch. The weight of it sat in my bones-his ownership, his obsession.

It wasn't always like this.

When I first came to live with Kendrick at sixteen-after my father signed away his rights to a man who dealt in debts like poker chips-I thought I would escape eventually. I imagined I'd finish school, move away, fall in love with someone gentle. Someone who didn't make me feel like my body was currency.

But Kendrick never let me go.

He waited.

He watched me grow.

And on my twenty-fourth birthday, he told me I wasn't a girl anymore.

That night, he tore my innocence apart in the bedroom wrapped in crimson velvet. No apologies. No love. Just possession. And when I woke up the next morning, silk sheets tangled around my legs, I knew I was trapped.

---

A hand touched my lower back, and I stiffened-but it wasn't Kendrick. It was Jonah, one of the younger executives. Fresh out of Harvard, full of ambition and charm.

"You okay?" he asked, eyes scanning my face with genuine concern.

I gave him a practiced smile. "Of course. Just tired."

He leaned in a little closer. "You always look tired. And tense. I mean, if you ever needed someone to talk to..."

I stepped back, the warning bells in my mind going off in sync with the cold voice behind me.

"She doesn't talk to people like you, Jonah."

Kendrick.

His hand gripped my waist like a clamp. Jonah turned pale, muttered an apology, and disappeared like smoke.

"Don't ever let another man stand that close to you again," Kendrick growled in my ear.

"You're not my boyfriend," I snapped, regretting it the second the words left my mouth.

His smile was dangerous. "No. I'm worse."

---

Back in the car, I sat silently while the city lights blurred past the windows. Kendrick loosened his tie, the silence thick between us.

"You embarrassed me tonight," he finally said.

I stared straight ahead. "I didn't do anything."

"You smiled at him."

"He was being kind."

He turned to me, eyes cold and sharp. "You don't need kindness. You need discipline."

I opened my mouth to protest, but he was already dialing his driver. "Take us to the lake house."

My stomach sank.

The lake house meant no staff. No cameras. No escape....

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
