His Silent Possession
For five years, Cassian Vale didn't say a single word to her. He blamed Selene for the arranged marriage contract their fathers forced them into, punishing her with absolute silence. He lived like a bachelor in their Upper East Side mansion, letting her hear everything from the dark of her bedroom. But the five years are up. The divorce papers are signed. Selene is finally ready to run her own advertising firm and erase him from her life.
Then comes the final clause of the decree: to protect the corporate stock, they have to live under the same roof for six more months without a single public scandal.
Selene thinks she can ignore him. She is wrong.
The moment the paperwork is final, the silence ends. The cold distance twists into a dark, suffocating physical tension. Cassian begins cornering her in the empty rooms of the estate, using her own body to punish her. He claims he hates her, yet he demands absolute possession of her skin, dragging them both into a volatile, silent war behind closed doors.
The chaos quickly spills out of the house. As Selene tries to build her independent empire and starts dating other men, Cassian completely unravels. He stalks her through their elite social circles, unable to handle anyone else touching what he still thinks belongs to him.
The lines between hatred and obsession are completely gone. Trapped in a brutal, explicit game of control, Selene is forced to face the most terrifying part of all: she can fight his mind games, but her body answers his touch every single time.

Chapter: The Public Front“Do you know what time it is, Selene?”Without letting her speak, Cassian moved closer to her desk.“The entire advertising team has been trying to contact you since morning. The final design files for the website launch were supposed to go live forty-five minutes ago, but here I am, twenty minutes away from where I have a major meeting uptown because my marketing manager is panicking.”He pulled his phone out, tapping the screen before tossing it flat onto her desk. “I called your office lines six times and your personal phone too Selene! If you are going to run a company, the least you can do is answer your phone.”He jabbed a finger toward her. “You do not get to delay my work just because you wanted to focus on your new office today.”As his voice rose louder in the quiet office, Selene’s heart thumped against her ribs, and instead of looking at the phone he tossed to her, she stared past his broad shoulder straight to the large transparent windows of her office. Outside, Hannah

Chapter: The Ghost Of His TouchA muffled scream left Selene’s throat as she pulled her hair so tightly that her scalp stung. She could feel the hot water pouring over her face, but it did nothing to wash away the humiliation she felt.Because her mind kept replaying exactly what happened on the dark highway. She couldn’t stop thinking about the way his palm slid up her dress and the feeling of his fingers against soaked clit.Your body says otherwise, El.Hearing him call her El after all these years cut the deepest. It was a reminder of the boy he used to be, before he turned into a heartless person. What made her blood boil was that her body was still betraying her. Even now, under the running water, she was still pulsing, aching for the exact touch that had just humiliated her.He was a cold bastard who had spent years punishing her for a marriage she hadn’t asked for, but god! he knew exactly how to break her. The way he had gripped her ass and touched her pussy throbbing with an intense heat.Selene heard the

Chapter: Friends"Cassian, I need to talk to you.”He didn't even slow down, his long strides leaving her scrambling to keep up as they reached the car. "Get in Selene."She was furious, but with their parents still within earshot, she forced the anger down to avoid creating a scene, yanking the passenger door open and slamming it shut behind her.The moment they pulled out of the driveway, she snapped."What the hell do you think you’re doing? What are you playing at, Cassian?"He just stared straight ahead, aggressively focused on the road like she wasn’t even there."Why are you trying to get under my skin suddenly?" she demanded. "You’ve spent so long ignoring me, and I’ve stayed out of your way, giving you the space you clearly wanted. And now, we are no longer married, we’re not even friends anymore Cassian!, so what do you want from me?".His silence only pissed her off more, making her blood boil. "Answer me! You don't get to do that under the table, right in front of our families, and then ac

Chapter: Under The TableMarcus crossed the foyer, and the sheer relief of seeing him made Selene step forward without a second thought. She threw her arms around his neck, burying her face into his shoulder with a heavy sigh."Where have you been?" she muffled against his shoulder.“I had to fly in from London, El.” Marcus chuckled, his arms wrapping securely around her waist to lift her slightly off her feet before setting her back down. "Missed me that much?"She pulled back just enough to look up at him, but Marcus didn't let her go, his hands resting casually on her hips. It was the same familiar affection they’d shared since they were kids, back when Marcus would fly in for summers and the three of them; her, Cassian, and Marc—were inseparable. But looking at him now, she couldn't help but feel the sting of how much had changed since college, since the marriage, since everything shattered.A smirk touched his lips as his eyes moved over her dress. "El. That dress is doing a lot of damage tonight."Selen

Chapter: Caught in the DarkThe house was entirely too quiet when Selene crept down to the kitchen. She hadn’t slept at all, because every time she closed her eyes, the image of Cassian down by the pool just kept replaying in her mind.The raw memory of him looking straight up at her window while driving into that woman had kept her awake until dawn.She’d thrown on an old singlet that was entirely too tight, its low scoop neck straining against the soft fullness of her breasts, barely managing to cover them.She hadn't burdened herself with a bra, assuming she’d grab a glass of water and slip back upstairs before the rest of the house even stirred.She stopped dead at the kitchen entrance, seeing Cassian already there, standing by the marble island fully dressed for the office. With his white shirt unbuttoned at the collar and sleeves rolled up, he looked unfazed by the night before, showing no fatigue from how he had used his body just hours ago.Selene’s first instinct was to turn on her heel and walk away t

Chapter: The Six-Month Catch“Selene.”She stopped on the first step, her hand tightening on the wood.Selene didn’t turn around as she asked, “What, Cassian?”“Are you going to stand there all night, or will you come down so we can talk?” he asked, sounding unbothered by the fact that he was breaking a four-year silence over a jar of overnight oats.She turned slowly while keeping her bag slung over her shoulder, wanting him to see that she had no intention of being in his space for a second longer than necessary.And Cassian was leaning against the kitchen counter with his suit jacket unbuttoned, his thumb tracing the rim of his glass as he watched her. “We don’t have anything to talk about,” Selene snapped.“We have six months under this roof before the final clause clears, we need to figure out how this works.”“The same way it has been, the last four years Cassian, you ignore me, and I do the same to you, it has been working perfectly fine and there is no reason to change it now.”A muscle ticked in his jaw
