Exclusively His
Noah is the perfect student by day; timid, obedient, and invisible at Valemont Academy. By night, he is the star of Black Halo, performing for the city’s exclusive elites. Every move is a temptation and every bill hooked to his strap is a survival strategy.
Professor Elliott built his reputation on control, discipline, and intellect. A very handsome man with many admirers but none has been able to rouse a desire in him, none but Noah. It all started the night he saw Noah in the club for the first time. The man who commands his environment finds himself unsteady. Desire, obsession, and secrecy collide in a dangerous game neither of them expected.
Elliott offers a deal of protection and tuition covered in exchange for exclusivity. Noah is desperate and Elliott is unyielding.
In a dangerous game of power, obsession and survival, both must decide how much they are willing to give and how far they will go for what they truly want.

Chapter: Chapter One - The Dance That Started it All“One, Two, Three.” Noah murmured under his breath before taking a leap. His slender body rose into a familiar arc, muscle and memory working together without thought. One hand held on tightly to the pole and the other stretched out in the air, as if defying gravity. The music in the club blared. The lights were low, and the crowd half-hidden in shadows, cheered in excitement.Not only was he a master of his craft, it was moments like this he lived for. Moments where the noise in his head quietened. Moments where he felt confident. Desired. In control. The air rushed past his ears, a soothing humming drowning out the room until his rotation brought the crowd back into clear focus again. Then, the rhythm broke.Staring into the crowd, Noah’s jaw dropped. His face, white as a ghost. His hand slipped off the pole but with a little luck he regained balance. There, in the front row under the dim golden glow, a perfect posture with hands folded loosely. No drink was in front of him and

Chapter: Chapter Two - Morally Right or WrongElliott did not leave immediately. This was his first time in Black Halo. He had wandered in out of sheer curiosity but stayed not because he enjoyed clubs but because there was just something about Noah that glued him to his seat. He remained seated after Noah’s performance, even after the applause faded. There was something about Noah Ola. Something buried deep within the perfect smiles and flawless steps. Something that he was scared of letting the world see. This was something he had always noticed in class and here again, Elliott could see through him. Elliott read him like a book. He could tell Noah wasn’t reckless. Which meant he was desperate. For what? Money? Attention? He wanted to know. He wanted to stay back and find out but he knew leverage when he saw it and knew when to use it. So, he left without acknowledgement. Right now, silence was more powerful than confrontation. *************************************************** The lecture hall felt smaller than usu

Chapter: Chapter Three - The OfferBlack Halo was swarmed up the way it always did every night. Yet it didn’t smell like the typical bar. It smelled of expensive sandalwood mixed with rich tobacco. On the stage, a woman moved with the slow, liquid grace of a predator. Her skin shimmered under the golden spotlight. The music was a deep rhythmic pulse. She commanded the attention of the men in the room. Men who commanded multi billion dollars companies and empires. Elliott was here and this time it was not by accident. He told himself it was curiosity but even he did not believe that. There was something about the performance that made him stayed the previous night and that same thing has brought him to Black Halo again. He sat in the same shadowed section as before. He did not order immediately but watched.Something was amiss. Elliott could tell. He didn’t feel the same way he did the last time. He struggled to enjoy the performance and ambience that when it ended, he contemplated leaving.Then...Noah appeared.

Chapter: Chapter Four - At What CostElliott did not look at Noah once during the lecture. There was no form of lingering gaze or pointed questions or subtle acknowledgment of any kind. He lectured freely, professionally on economic determinism as if nothing had happened between them.“As long as survival is tied to resources,” Elliott paced slowly on the podium. “Freedom remains theoretical.”The class had an extreme quietness about it except for the scribbling sounds of the student’s pen as they jot down notes. Noah wasn’t writing. He was seated on the very edge of his seat, his legs kept vibrating and he forced a neutral expression on his face. Elliot’s words had stabbed through him like a knife, twisting until the air in the room felt too heavy to breathe. He stole a glance at Elliott and his mind flashed to the offer. Elliott’s words echoed in his head: “I find you difficult to ignore.” “I’m offering a private arrangement. You become unavailable to others.” “My offer.”Noah shook his head, then put a hand on his

Chapter: Chapter Five - The deal, His termsNoah didn’t sleep that night.His room was a small cubicle at the end of the hallway. It could only fit in his bed and a reading table. The small window high on the wall was half opened yet the room was a furnace. Noah was stretched out on his student-sized mattress with eyes to the ceiling. Exhaustion sat behind those eyes like bruising.He had spent the entire night awake thinking of his debts. He calculated the numbers over and over again in the dark, as if they might somehow rearrange themselves out of mercy. The loud bang on the door wasn’t a wakeup call but a call to reality for Noah. He didn't move until the knock came a second time. It was Max, the building manager. Noah wasn’t surprised. Neither did he have the strength to plead.“I have been patient with you,” Max said, ignoring his tired looks.Noah just stared on.“Noah?” Noah staggered back. “I have it already. I will bring it to your room tonight when I get back.” Max weighed him for a bit, unsure if to believe or n

Chapter: Chapter Six - First Night TogetherThe sound of Noah's phone beeping alerted him. He stretched his hand to the bedside drawer, throwing down a few items as he blindly searched for the phone.Noah stared at the screen longer than necessary. It was a payment notification from Elliott just as they had agreed. What this meant for him was that rent was no longer a threat, tuition could be cleared, and working hours at Black Halo would no longer extend into midnights.Noah knew his life was about to become easier and he should have felt some relief but he didn't. Instead, he felt like something had shifted under his skin.His phone beeped again. This time it was a message from Elliott.Car will arrive at 7:30 p.m. Wear something simple.There was no greeting, no unnecessary words, just instruction. Elliott was clearly trying to show control.Noah read it twice then locked his phone.***By 7:00pm, Noah was dressed in a striped shirt over denim trousers and timberlands. That was the best outfit he could combine. Elliott had

The Man I Shouldn't Love
As if my life wasn’t already complicated as a plus size woman who has always found it hard to find love, I go and fall in love with the wrong man.
Stanley Pearson is my father's best friend. A billionaire. Twenty-nine years older than me. Engaged to my high school bully. And.. the only man I've ever truly loved.
For years, my feelings were nothing more than a secret crush I swore I'd outgrow. Then my parents left for a three-year overseas assignment and asked Stanley to let me stay at his estate until I finish college.
Now, I'm living under the same roof as the man I can't stop thinking about. Every day, I tell myself to keep my distance. Every day, I fail.
Behind his cold, untouchable exterior is a man carrying dangerous secrets. The closer we become, the harder it is to deny the undeniable pull between us. Soon, we're risking everything for a love that should never exist.
But love isn't the only thing lurking in the shadows. Someone is determined to destroy Stanley's empire.
The people he trusts are hiding devastating betrayals.
And the only way to save everything he's built may be to sacrifice the woman he loves.
Heartbroken, I find an unlikely ally in Stanley's greatest rival... only to discover that everyone has secrets, everyone has an agenda, and some betrayals cut deeper than love itself.
Now I'm caught between two powerful men, a web of lies, and a love that refuses to die.
They say forbidden love is dangerous. No one warned me it could destroy us all.

Chapter: 26 - Giving in to My PassionAmy’s P.O.VHmmmAs I paced across the rug in the pitch-black room, the walls of the estate felt like a cage. My head still throbbed with a dull, heavy ache from the concussion—a nasty leftover from the crash—but my mind was racing. I was wired on the raw adrenaline of outsmarting Quinn on live television.I was furious. I was confused. Mostly, I was restless. I was literally vibrating out of my skin. My brain was completely fried, but my body refused to shut down.Needing to clear my thoughts, I slowly turned the brass handle. It slid back without any resistance. Ley hadn't actually locked me in from the outside. His whole public act in the lobby had been a total show. It was a deepfake of an angry guardian, meant to trick Quinn and Hector into thinking I was neutralized, crying into my pillow.Clown behavior, honestly, I thought, a smirk tugging at my lips.Slipped into a dark silk robe that felt like water against my skin, I stepped out into the quiet, dimly lit corridor. The mansi

Chapter: 25 - A Break in My StormStanley’s P.O.VThe second Amy stepped back from the press podium and walked toward the side exit, an overwhelming wave of raw, possessive pride crashed through my chest.I sat at the primary executive table, my large hands anchored to the mahogany, forcing my face to remain unreadable while my insides completely melted. I was utterly whipped by her. Her brilliant mind had just thrown a massive, unexploded grenade right into the center of the ballroom. By publicly welcoming an investigation on live national TV, she hadn't broken her bail conditions, and she hadn't refused to cooperate. Instead, she had used the national media to legally invite the government into the affairs at the Pearson mansion.Across the room, Quinn’s lawyers stood frozen in shock, their tablets trembling. Quinn herself was shaking beneath her white lace dress, her jaw tightly clenched in a feral, unspoken rage. She realized she couldn't execute the ten-million-dollar civil lawsuit without triggering a public cou

Chapter: 24 - My Public ExecutionAmy’s P.O.VAckThe blinding glare of the LED lights hit my face, making the dull ache from my concussion throb behind my eyes. I sat completely rigid in the front row of the mansion’s grand ballroom. The space had been transformed into a media circus. Dozens of reporters were murmuring into their microphones, and rows of flashing cameras were pointed straight at the main stage.My fingers tightly gripped the crumpled piece of paper in my lap. It was the humiliating apology script Quinn had forced into my chest yesterday in the foyer.“I admit that I attacked her in a fit of unstable rage because I am deeply, pathologically jealous of her beauty...”What The Fuck? It’s either this girl really thinks highly of herself or she thinks I am still that scared girl who cried whenever she bullied her. I may still be on the plus size, but scared? Hell no! Channel sat beside me, fuming. The only reason she had not already thrown out the reporters and their camera was because of her respect

Chapter: 23 - My Turn To Play The GameStanley’s P.O.VThe doors of my private study clicked shut. Finally, the toxic drama filling the rest of the mansion was locked outside.The moment I was completely alone in the dark room, the detached, unbothered look I wore shattered. Rage exploded through my veins. I violently ripped my tie loose, tearing open the top buttons of my shirt. Walking straight to the liquor cabinet, my hands shook with an unhinged, protective rage. I poured a glass of straight scotch and downed the amber liquid in one burning swallow.Ten million dollars.Quinn’s threat in the foyer echoed through my mind like a death sentence. She had stood there with her over-priced lawyers, thrusting a civil lawsuit straight at Amy. With the power her family yielded, Quinn was capable of ruining Amy's career and her father's appointment.And why? Because Amy; my brilliant, stubborn girl—had dared to step between me and the corporate vultures trying to bleed my empire dry.I needed to come up with a way to save Amy

Chapter: 22 - The Mask We Had To WearAmy’s P.O.VWhoosh... Click! The glass conference room door swung open, and I stepped back out into the main penthouse office of Hampton Capital, standing tall beside Stanley. Chris Hampton was leaning against the edge of his mahogany desk, arms crossed, a smug and expectant smirk playing on his handsome face. He was clearly assuming that Stanley’s typical "guardian dominance" had failed to move me. His smile instantly died the moment my eyes locked onto his."Cancel the penthouse lease, Chris," I said, my voice clear, steady, and ringing with certainty.Chris blinked, his posture stiffening. "What?""I am only backing down on the apartment request," I continued smoothly, executing the calculated compromise Stanley and I had just mapped out in the glass room. "I am a woman of my word. Our contract stands. I will officially join your legal acquisition team starting Monday morning at eight. But I am returning to the Pearson estate by my own choice. I will be staying there."Chris comp

Chapter: 21- Becoming My PartnerStanley’s P.O.VThe violent, suffocating panic that slammed into my chest the moment my phone lit up at the boardroom table with a message about Amy leaving was unlike anything I had ever experienced.I didn't give a damn about the multi-billion-dollar merger contract Hector had just slid across the table. I didn't care about the board members staring daggers at me, or the threat of losing my CEO seat. My entire world narrowed down to the single, terrifying text sent by my estate housekeeper.Amy was gone.My innocent, brilliant, and stubborn ward, the woman whose soft lips I had devoured in a moment of raw desire hours ago, had broken my direct lockdown and run out. Unprotected. Vulnerable. Out on an active criminal bail bond that the courts would revoke the second they realized she had fled my territory.Without a single word of explanation, I violently pushed my leather chair back, stood up, and walked straight out of the boardroom, leaving a stunned, shouting Hector behind.I didn
