Elena, as a young girl, was the only survivor of a yacht explosion she and her parents used for a family vacation. She ran from the trauma and relocated to another city, finding comfort in art and honing her artistic skills in the most prestigious art gallery in that city. A perfect career, as an Executive Art Director, but despite all these, her past still haunted her like never before. Then she met Alexander Drake, the son of a billionaire and billionaire himself, whom she fell in love with. But along the line in their love escapades, she discovered that his family was responsible for the death of her parents and the downfall of her family's business legacy.

Chapter 1 The Beginning

"Alright, just hit me up when you're ready," Alexander said, adjusting his position in the chair inside the study room.

"How's the preparation for the board meeting tomorrow? You know this is a major deal for your company," Trent's voice crackled through the phone speaker.

Alexander chuckled, his voice deep and husky. "Haha... That's funny, Trent. You know I always win the heart of every stakeholder at a board meeting. This won't be any different. They're going to buy the idea."

"You didn't have to sound so cocky, you braggart. Good luck!" Trent laughed and ended the call.

Alexander dropped his phone on the desk, a mischievous smile tugging at his lips. His brow furrowed slightly in thought.

Whenever he had a major board meeting, especially one involving a new idea, he avoided staying at his personal residence. It was a ritual, a way to disconnect, to think without distraction.

He rose from his chair and walked over to the family bookshelf library, scanning the shelves. His fingers ran along the spines of the books, flipping through a few.

"I can't seem to find anything inspiring in here," he muttered, clenching his fists.

"Well, I've read everything anyway," he scoffed.

Just as he reached the final book on the shelf, something caught his eye, a dusty, concealed box case tucked behind it.

His eyes widened. "What is this? I've never seen this before..."

He reached for the box, brushing off layers of dust. It was old, rusty, and sealed with a tiny, corroded lock.

With no key in sight, he carried it back to his study. Determined, he pried it open, breaking the fragile lock.

Inside were old documents, yellowed and brittle with age. He flipped through them halfheartedly until a drab folder caught his attention.

"What is this?" he whispered, eyes narrowing.

The bold header on the cover read: "B&D COMPANY."

"B&D?" he murmured, his fingers flipping the pages faster now, his heart quickening.

His breath caught as he absorbed the contents. The documents detailed a long-hidden partnership between his parents, the Drakes and another family, the Beaumonts.

The Beaumonts, once struggling financially, had entered a business agreement with his parents. In exchange for saving their company, the Drakes received 21% equity, while the Beaumonts retained 56%. The remaining shares were held by Dr. Kiyosaki and Mr. Reynolds, names Alexander recognized as senior shareholders at the Drake Family Conglomerate.

The company, originally named "BB Company," had been rebranded as "B&D Enterprise" in honor of the new alliance.

Digging further into the box, he pulled out a faded photograph-dusty, coarse to the touch, and almost blurred from age.

He squinted.

On the left stood his parents. On the right, unmistakably, were Dr. Kiyosaki and Mr. Reynolds.

But in the middle... stood a man and a woman he didn't recognize.

"I guess that's the Beaumonts," he whispered.

His mind raced.

What happened to them?

Why had he never heard of this deal?

Why was this hidden in the first place?

His fingers ran through his hair as he exhaled sharply. A mix of confusion and suspicion clouded his thoughts. The deeper he dug, the more questions surfaced.

Gazing into space, Alexander's expression darkened, sharp, calculating. Something didn't add up, and he could smell it like blood in the water.

But then,

A sudden knock on the door snapped him back to reality. It creaked open slowly.

It was Mr. Reginald Drake, his father.

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
