One Night With The Cold CEO

Max. A Romance

“Faye spent three months of secret commissions to buy a limited-edition watch for her boyfriend's anniversary. But when she keyed into his apartment, she found the red-soled heels she had just gifted her best friend, Penelope, kicked carelessly on the floor. Through the crack in the bedroom door, she saw them tangled in the sheets, with her boyfriend murmuring that Faye had no idea what she was missing. Devastated, Faye got blackout drunk and accidentally woke up in the bed of Julian Carlisle-Penelope's ruthless, billionaire stepbrother, who coldly offered her a check to buy her silence. As if that wasn't humiliating enough, when Faye returned home, she found her own mother and brother comforting a fake-crying Penelope. Her mother even took the diamond necklace meant for Faye's upcoming 21st birthday and fastened it around Penelope's neck to make up for Faye causing a scene. "Faye Hayes, you will apologize to Penelope right now, or you won't get another dime from this family." Faye stared at her mother, the betrayal freezing her blood. She was the one who had been cheated on, yet her own flesh and blood were treating her like a liability. Why was she always the outcast, stripped of everything while her abusers played the victim? The last frayed thread of hope for her family's love died in that instant. Instead of apologizing, Faye walked right up to Penelope, grabbed the diamond necklace, and violently ripped it from her throat. It was time to stop begging for affection and start burning it all down.”
