Roman Ellis was waiting exactly where he said he would be.

Vivian spotted him immediately through the glass entrance of Blackwood & Vale, standing beneath the glow of the lobby lights while rain poured steadily outside behind him. One hand rested casually in the pocket of his dark overcoat, the other holding an umbrella as several people passing by glanced at him with quiet recognition.

He looked calm.

Effortlessly calm.

Like the kind of man who never doubted himself.

And somehow that mad

  • Dangerous Attachment    Missing Files

    Vivian was already standing before Damien finished speaking. “What?” Across the table, Roman’s expression sharpened immediately. Damien’s voice remained controlled through the phone, but she could hear tension beneath it now. “My office was searched.” Searched. Not robbed. The distinction mattered. “When did this happen?” Vivian asked quickly. “Within the last hour.” “Was anything taken?” A pause. “Yes.” Her stomach tightened instantly. “What?” “Get back here first.” Then the line disconnected. Vivian lowered the phone slowly, pulse uneven. Roman watched her carefully from across the candlelit table. “What happened?” She grabbed her coat immediately. “Someone broke into Damien’s office.” Roman’s expression darkened slightly. “And?” “He says something was taken.” For the first time that evening, Roman no longer looked relaxed. Interesting. Very interesting. He stood as Vivian reached for her bag. “I’m driving you.” “That’s not necessary.” “It’s raining,

    Roman Ellis was waiting exactly where he said he would be. Vivian spotted him immediately through the glass entrance of Blackwood & Vale, standing beneath the glow of the lobby lights while rain poured steadily outside behind him. One hand rested casually in the pocket of his dark overcoat, the other holding an umbrella as several people passing by glanced at him with quiet recognition. He looked calm. Effortlessly calm. Like the kind of man who never doubted himself. And somehow that made Vivian more nervous than she wanted to admit. The elevator doors opened behind her with a soft metallic sound. Roman turned instantly. Then smiled. Not arrogantly. Not theatrically. Just genuinely enough to make something uncomfortable move through her chest. “You came.” Vivian folded her arms lightly. “You sound surprised.” “I’ve learned not to underestimate Damien Blackwood’s ability to interfere with things.” Her stomach tightened unexpectedly at Damien’s name. Roman noticed imm

  • Dangerous Attachment    Dinner Time

    The entire office knew. Vivian realized it within thirty minutes of returning upstairs. People tried pretending otherwise, of course. Associates suddenly became fascinated by their laptops whenever she walked past. Conversations stopped half a second too late. Chloe kept giving her dramatic looks from across the litigation floor like she was personally watching a romance scandal unfold in real time. And Damien? Damien became unreadable. Which was infinitely worse than anger. He disappeared into meetings for most of the afternoon, speaking only when necessary, his voice colder than usual during conference calls while the entire thirty-second floor operated under visible tension. Vivian tried focusing on work. Really tried. But concentration became impossible when her mind kept replaying the moment she said yes. Not because she regretted it exactly. But because of Damien’s face afterward. Or rather— the complete lack of expression on it. That unsettled her more than shout

  • Dangerous Attachment    Things Left Unsaid

    The atmosphere inside Damien Blackwood’s office turned suffocating after Chloe’s announcement. Roman Ellis was downstairs. Waiting. Refusing to leave without seeing Vivian. For a long moment, nobody spoke. Chloe stood awkwardly by the glass doors looking like she regretted entering the office at all, while Vivian remained frozen beside Damien’s desk, painfully aware of the dangerous silence settling across the room. Then Damien smiled. Not warmly. Not pleasantly. The kind of smile that made senior associates reconsider career choices. “Interesting,” he said quietly. Vivian immediately straightened. “Damien—” “No,” he interrupted calmly, “actually, this should be interesting.” His composure unsettled her far more than anger would have. Because Damien only became this controlled when he was furious enough to hide it. Chloe cleared her throat nervously. “I can ask security to remove him if you want.” Damien’s gray eyes never left Vivian’s face. “No,” he said softly. “

  • Dangerous Attachment    The Truth Beneath Control

    Vivian barely slept. By the time morning sunlight pushed weakly through her apartment windows, the confidential file Roman sent still haunted her thoughts. Professional misconduct. Abuse of authority. A female associate disappearing from Blackwood & Vale four years ago. And Damien’s name attached to all of it. Nothing about it made sense. Not completely. Because despite Damien’s impossible personality, Vivian had never once seen him behave inappropriately toward anyone at the firm. Cold? Yes. Ruthless? Absolutely. Difficult beyond reason? Constantly. But dangerous in that way? She couldn’t reconcile it. Which frustrated her more than she wanted to admit. Her phone buzzed across the kitchen counter while she poured coffee. One message. Roman Ellis. I assume you have questions. Vivian stared at the screen for several seconds before locking her phone without replying. Because yes, she had questions. Too many. And somehow she no longer knew which man was more dangerous

  • Dangerous Attachment    The Wrong Answer

    Vivian didn’t answer immediately. And somehow, the silence itself became dangerous. Roman waited patiently on the other end of the line while Damien stood only a few feet away, motionless enough to make the entire office feel unnaturally still. Two men. One waiting for her answer. The other silently dreading it. Vivian suddenly hated how aware she was of both of them. “Dinner,” she repeated carefully into the phone. “Yes.” “You barely know me.” “I know enough to be interested.” Damien’s expression hardened almost imperceptibly. Vivian noticed. Of course she noticed. She also noticed the unsettling satisfaction in Roman’s voice — like he understood exactly what kind of position he’d placed her in. And worse? He sounded intentional about it. Vivian turned slightly away from Damien instinctively. “That isn’t a good idea.” “Because of the case?” “Because of everything.” Roman was quiet for a second. Then: “You still haven’t said no.” Damien looked away sharply tow
