"I said, give me the cards, Adrian." The patriarch’s final demand dropped like an executioner’s axe into the suffocating silence of the grand living room.

Adrian’s breath rattled in his chest, his face completely pale as his fingers convulsed around the plastic.

With a sudden, violent wrench of his arm, Mr. Hawthorne seized the black titanium cards directly from his son’s grip, tossing them onto table where they landed with a heavy, metallic clink right next to the one I had rejected.

  • Bound To The Billionaire By A Baby   She Is Mine To Torture

    Liora's Pov Listen to me very carefully, all of you," Adrian announced, his booming voice bouncing off the high ceilings like a final judgment, ensuring every single employee heard the command. "No one in this building is to touch, bully, or disrespect this woman again. Is that entirely clear? Only I have the absolute right to do that. If I catch a single whisper, or if another manager assigns her heavy labor to cause a nuisance, you will be thrown out onto the pavement alongside Vanessa and Chloe. You all may now return to your work." A heavy, terrified murmur rippled through the departments before everyone quickly dropped their heads, desperately pretending to focus on their fabrics. Adrian didn't wait for a response as he carried me directly toward the grand, illuminated central escalator that bypassed the standard employee floors. Stepping onto the moving metal stairs, we began the slow, heavy ascent toward the executive suite. I remained completely still in his ar

  • Bound To The Billionaire By A Baby   I Want Them Blacklisted

    Liora's Pov The question slithered through the bleach-scented air of the restroom, instantly killing the echo of Vanessa and Chloe’s cruel laughter. I sat paralyzed on the cold toilet seat, my knees still clutched tightly against my chest, my entire body shivering violently under my soaked gray uniform. Through the wide-open gap of the stall door that Vanessa had violently yanked open, my blurry, tear-stained eyes focused on the towering figure standing in the main doorway. It was Adrian. He stood there in his pristine charcoal-grey tailored suit, his broad shoulders blocking out the bright fluorescent light from the design corridor. His face was a mask of pure, unadulterated, lethal stone. He didn't look at the two models; his dark eyes slid past their shivering frames, locking directly onto my drenched gray clothes, the ruined white cap lying in a wet heap near my shoes, and the chemical tears pouring down my burning cheeks. Vanessa’s mouth opened to speak, but only

  • Bound To The Billionaire By A Baby   What Right Do You Have

    Liora's Pov I sat exposed, looking entirely small and terrified under their glares. Vanessa and Chloe stood in the threshold, their arms crossed, wide smirks twisting their lips as they looked down at my gray uniform and my shivering frame. "Look at the future Mrs. Hawthorne," Chloe mocked, pointing a finger at my tear-stained face. "On her knees in a bathroom, hiding like a rat. Where is your fierce model posture now, Liora? Why don't you look us in the eye?" Before I could find my voice or draw a deep breath to speak, Vanessa reached behind her back. My eyes widened in absolute horror as I noticed she was holding a heavy plastic janitorial bucket—one that had been left in the corner by the cleaning staff, filled to the brim with dirty, grey mop water, chemical suds, and floating debris from the design floor. "Let’s help the new mistress clean up her act," Vanessa sneered, her face contorting with a sudden surge of venomous malice. "No! Please, stop—" I cried out, my ha

  • Bound To The Billionaire By A Baby   Come Out Now

    Liora's Pov The fifth-floor office restroom smelled heavily of bleach and expensive lavender soap, a stark contrast to the thick, toxic dread pooling in my stomach. I sat curled up on the cold toilet seat, my knees pulled up tightly to my chest under my gray uniform skirt, desperately trying to map the sounds of the bustling design floor outside the door. My morning sickness had returned with a vengeance the second I stepped out of Adrian’s luxury sedan, and I had barely managed to sprint into the nearest empty stall before my vision went entirely blurry. The porcelain bowl beneath me was a blur, but the physical fatigue of the early pregnancy was settling deep into my bones, leaving my limbs feeling like lead weights I squeezed my eyes shut, my forehead resting against the cold metal partition of the stall, praying for just five minutes of absolute silence before I had to face Miss Vance and her back-breaking files again. Suddenly, the heavy glass main door to the restroom

  • Bound To The Billionaire By A Baby   Get In

    My fingers dug into the fabric of my coarse linen apron as I hurried down the sweeping gravel path of the estate, the crunch of the stones beneath my flat shoes sounding deafeningly loud in the crisp morning air. I kept my head bowed, the fabric of my gray uniform scratching against the collar of my neck. After the complete and utter humiliation of the previous evening—and the suffocating, terrifying ordeal in his private washroom—all I wanted was to dissolve into the background of the lower staff. I needed to reach the side gates, slip into the crowded, anonymous rows of the servants' shuttle, and blend into the heavy silence of ordinary workers. The morning mist was still clinging to the massive manicured hedges of the Hawthorne estate, casting long, eerie shadows across the driveway. I walked rapidly, my breath forming faint puffs of white vapor in the biting chill. I was so entirely consumed by my own racing thoughts, desperately praying that my body wouldn't betray my cond

  • Bound To The Billionaire By A Baby   Leave Your Shower Gel

    Liora's PovThe moment the frosted glass doors close behind me, my mind instantly race into a chaotic, terrifying maze of wild, unwanted thoughts.As I walk toward the deep-sunken porcelain tub, my imagination begins to spin completely out of control.Why is he doing this? Is he going to force me into the water with him? Is he going to touch me the way he did last night in the dark?The memory of his heavy chest pressing down over my shoulder blade and his blistering hot breaths against my throat rushes back into my head, making my heart fracture with an intense, intoxicating panic.I can almost feel his large, possessive hands tangling into my loose hair again, his low, deep moan vibrating raw against my neck until my head spins with a dangerous, suffocating dizziness.My skin burns at the thought of him stripping off his clothes in front of me, my fingers shaking so badly I can barely grip the gold fixtures."Stop standing there like an idiot and turn on the taps," Adrian’s cold voi
