Chapter 4
A sharp blade of morning sunlight sliced through the curtains, stabbing Olivia right in the eyes. She groaned, her head throbbing with a rhythmic pulse that felt like a hammer against an anvil.
She tried to roll over, but she was pinned by a weight that was solid, warm, and terrifyingly familiar.
She froze.
Her eyes snapped open. The room was bathed in the kind of quiet luxury that smelled of high-end housekeeping and success. The sheets beneath her were Egyptian cotton, far softer than anything she owned or seen.
And the arm draped across her waist... It was heavy and masculine.
Where am I?
Then, the memories hit her like a physical blow. The red dress. The French menu. The wine, far too much wine. The way Damian had looked at her like she was the only woman in existence.
Her breath hitched in a ragged sob. She had babbled. She had told this stranger things she hadn't even told anyone except Mia.
I told him about Casper. I told him I was a mess. She squeezed her eyes shut, her face burning against the pillow. And then... the kiss.
She gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. Did we? Did I? She searched her memory for the act itself, but all she found was a blurred montage of his lips on hers and the feeling of being carried.
The movement stirred the man behind her. He shifted, his chest pressing against her back as he pulled her closer into the heat of his body.
"Are you awake?" he murmured. His voice was a deep, morning rasp that sent a traitorous shiver down her spine. "I've been waiting for you to wake up. Are you feeling any better?"
He pressed a lingering, soft kiss to the curve of her neck. Olivia felt like her heart was going to burst through her ribs.
Damian!.
She knew it was him without looking. Her body recognized his touch with a terrifying ease.
He sat up, the sheets falling to his waist, stretching with the effortless grace of a predator.
Olivia dove deeper under the covers, her face hot enough to cook an egg.
"I'm going to jump in the shower, gorgeous," he said, a low chuckle vibrating in his chest. "Don't go anywhere. I'll be right back."
She didn't move. She didn't breathe. She just played dead until the click of the bathroom door signaled her window of escape.
Olivia bolted upright. Her body ached, her head was screaming, and her red dress was nowhere to be found. Panic rising, she scanned the room and spotted his discarded dress shirt.
She scrambled into it, the hem reaching her mid-thighs, the fabric smelling of him. Desperate, she unclipped the long leather strap from her purse and cinched it around her waist like a belt, creating a wrinkled, makeshift tunic.
She tiptoed out of the suite like a thief, her heart in her throat until she finally slumped into the back of a taxi. Staring at her reflection in the window, smudged mascara, wild hair, and a man's shirt-she whispered, "What have I done?"

Monday arrived with the subtlety of a train wreck. Olivia stood behind the sleek marble counter at Titan Energy Corporation, trying to focus on the digital logs.
Being a receptionist at the country's top oil and gas giant was her ticket to a real future, but today, every time the glass doors slid open, she jumped like she stole something.
"You're in early," a voice snapped, breaking her trance.
Olivia looked up to see Veronica. She was thirty-something, sharp-tongued, and the kind of woman who wore her ambition like armor.
"Good morning, Veronica," Olivia managed, her voice sounding thin.
"Did you watch the inauguration of the new chairman this weekend?" Veronica asked, her eyes searching Olivia's face. "It was all over the news."
Olivia's heart did a slow, painful roll. "No... I was busy."
"Busy doing what? It was posted in the company group four times," Veronica prodded, her tone dipping into annoyance. "Did you at least read your email?"
"Yes, I did," Olivia replied curtly. She didn't want to talk. She didn't like Veronica's tone either.
Before Veronica could dig further, Amelia Martin, the Departmental Head, marched into the lobby. "Assemble everyone in the lobby now!.
She ordered Olivia. Three minutes!"
The staff of that department shuffled into a semi-circle, the air thick with nervous energy. Amelia stood at the front, her expression tight and exaggeratedly solemn.
"As you all know," Amelia began, her voice echoing off the high ceilings, "Mr. Carrington is taking over as Chairman today. He is a man of... particular tastes. He expects perfection. If you aren't up to his standards, you won't last the week. Am I clear?"
She scanned the room, her gaze lingering on Olivia with a look that felt like a threat. Olivia felt a cold sweat break out on her palms.
The staff was moved outside to the entrance to form a greeting line. The heat of the sun was oppressive, but the chill in Olivia's blood was worse.
Minutes later, a convoy of black SUVs pulled up, the tires crunching on the gravel with menacing precision.
The door to the lead car opened, and a chauffeur stepped out to open the door for the man in the middle vehicle.
"Welcome, Mr. Carrington!" the staff chanted in unison.
Olivia was tucked behind a tall executive, trying to stay invisible.
She peered through the gap between shoulders, her breath hitching as a man stepped out of the car.
He was in a charcoal-grey tailored suit that screamed power. His hair was perfectly styled, his jawline clean-shaven and sharp. He moved with a quiet, commanding authority that made the executives around him look like children.
He turned his head slightly, his piercing blue eyes scanning the crowd.
Olivia's world stopped immediately when she saw him. The air left her lungs, and her knees turned to water.
It was him. The perfect stranger. And he is her boss.

I was eight months pregnant with the heir to the city's most powerful crime family. My husband, Austen, told me he was hosting a private celebration to honor me and the baby.
But when I walked into the warehouse, the steel doors slammed shut behind me.
I wasn't in a ballroom. I was locked inside an industrial glass freezer.
Through the thick glass, I saw Austen standing with his assistant, Deb. They were laughing. He told me he didn't care about his son; he only cared about the trust fund that would unlock upon my father's death.
"Cool her off," he ordered.
His men dumped buckets of ice water onto me. The shock was instant. I begged him to stop, screaming for the life of our child, but he just watched with cold eyes.
As I collapsed into a slush of ice and my own blood, I felt the baby fade away.
Austen thought he had won. He thought my father, the Don, was dead and buried. He thought I was just a helpless, spoiled princess he could dispose of to seize the throne.
He was wrong.
With my last ounce of strength, I looked through the glass and mouthed three words: "He is coming."
Before Austen could react, the warehouse doors didn't just open—they exploded inward.
And through the smoke walked the man Austen thought was worm food.
My father wasn't dead. But my husband was about to wish he was.

I only needed the job.
I didn't expect the man who owned the building... to own my future.
When my world falls apart, I accept a one-year contract as the personal assistant to Grey Franklin-cold, powerful, and dangerously irresistible. He has rules. No emotions. No attachments. No crossing lines.
But lines blur when late nights turn into stolen glances... and his carefully controlled world begins to crack.
He says love is a weakness.
I say some things can't be bought.
In a world of money, secrets, and power, falling for a billionaire was never part of the deal-
but walking away might cost us everything.

I borrowed my wealthy best friend's identity to seduce Colonel Ethan Christensen. He was the powerful uncle of my ex-boyfriend, Kayden, who had brutally dumped me for a rich heiress.
My revenge plan worked too well. Ethan fell deeply in love with my fake persona and proposed. But then he handed me a thick envelope: a top-secret military background check requiring fingerprints and ten years of history.
My fake identity was about to be shattered. I faced federal fraud charges and prison time. More than that, the guilt was eating me alive. Ethan wasn't a pawn; he was a genuinely honorable man who promised to protect me. Terrified and exhausted by the lies, I typed out a full confession, ready to tell him everything and walk away.
But right before I hit send, Kayden's new fiancée called to gloat about their engagement. Through the phone, I heard Kayden's voice, lazily mocking my low status.
"Tell her to stay home. Tell her to find someone on her own level in the gutter."
The rage burned away all my guilt. Why should I be the bigger person while they destroyed my life without a second thought?
I deleted the confession and called my friend to hire a black-market hacker. I needed a flawless, forged background in forty-eight hours. I am going to marry Ethan Christensen, and I am going to smile when Kayden is forced to call me "Aunt."

I was tied to a concrete pillar in an abandoned warehouse, the heavy stench of gasoline suffocating me.
Ten steps away, a masked kidnapper slammed a loaded Glock onto a metal barrel and forced my husband, Alvie, to make a sick choice.
"The wife or the mistress. You only get to walk out of here with one."
Alvie didn't even blink.
He walked straight toward the dark corner where his mistress, Gail, was crying. He wrapped his arms tightly around her, shielding her, and guided her toward the exit.
He never looked back. He didn't cast a single glance over his shoulder. To him, I was already a corpse, just trash left on the pavement.
The kidnapper laughed and tossed a lighter onto the soaked concrete floor.
A wall of ghostly blue fire erupted instantly, swallowing me whole. The absolute agony of my skin blistering and melting shattered my sanity.
In my last moments, consumed by the inferno, I couldn't understand how the man I had loved and served so submissively could leave me to burn alive. My heartbreak quickly morphed into a hatred far deeper than the flames.
Then, I violently jerked awake.
I shot up from the bed, gasping for cold air, my hands frantically checking my perfectly smooth, unburned skin.
I looked at the desk clock. I had returned to exactly four years ago, the morning of the annual Gallagher family gathering.
The fragile, naive wife died in that warehouse. This time, I am going to destroy them both.

Tonight was supposed to be the night I became the happiest woman in D.C., celebrating my engagement at the legendary Bolton Manor gala. I wore emerald silk and a diamond that cost more than most mansions, convinced that Hank Bolton was my soulmate and the key to my family's future.
But behind the heavy oak doors of the guest wing, the dream died. I found my fiancé tangled with another woman, laughing about how I was nothing more than a "clueless cash cow" whose inheritance would fund his run for the Senate.
In my first life, I reacted with tears and screams, which only allowed his family to paint me as an unstable lunatic. They stripped me of my dignity, bankrupted the Adams estate, and watched coldly as my brother, Lucas, died in a ditch trying to save me. I ended up gasping for air in a burning building, realizing too late that my perfect engagement was actually my execution.
I died in the soot and the shadows, feeling the searing heat of a betrayal that burned worse than the fire. I lost everything because I was too blind to see the monsters hiding behind expensive smiles.
But then, I suddenly gasped for air and realized the smoke was gone. I was standing in front of a vanity, the calendar mocking me: October 14th. The night of the gala. I had been given a second chance, and this time, I wasn't going to be the victim.
I recorded the betrayal on my phone and walked into the library with a heart made of ice. I didn't just blow up the engagement; I demanded a new groom—Hank’s "invalid" older brother, Dereck, a man the world had written off as a dying recluse.
"I'll take him," I told the stunned family. I wanted a husband who couldn't cheat, a puppet who would leave me a wealthy widow within a year.
I thought I was choosing a safe, broken man to shield me from my enemies. I didn't know that under his blanket, Dereck was hiding a holster, or that the "dying" man was actually a predator who had been waiting for someone exactly like me to walk into his trap.
