Elliot’s POV

Those words didn’t want to leave my head.

I was walking past the break area when I overheard Jayden’s voice, casual and concerned: “At least you got paid.” Scott’s quiet reply: “I didn’t have much choice.”

That was all. But it was enough to get me pissed. Apparently Scott was on a call with his friend Jayden and the call was on a loud speaker.

My mind filled in the blanks instantly. Another client. Another man touching what was mine. Scott on his knees or bent over, letting some st

  • OWNED BY THE GHOST    The Monster I Became

    Elliot’s POVScott stormed into my office with anger I couldn’t control. He’s always a carefree person, always happy. I’ve never seen him this way. He threw printed screenshots onto my desk. The gossip post. The edited photos. The rumors about him stealing our ideas and selling them to our rivals.Everything that stood against what I despised. His hands were shaking, but I am not entirely guilty. All of this is not my doing. Someone else was adding fuel to the fire. “Why?”I had no answer. The air in my office started to choke me. My heart pounded like it wanted to break out of my chest. I stared at the papers, the words blurring. “I didn’t do this,” I said, but my voice sounded weak even to me.Scott laughed scornfully. “You never had me. I was never yours to begin with.” “Why play dirty? To think I’d never do such a despicable thing to you.”His words pierced me. My conscience started to judge me. I never admitted that I loved him, I didn’t make our relationship official . I to

  • OWNED BY THE GHOST   The Return

    Scott’s POVTwo weeks later I stepped into the Zenex and everywhere looked like I was walking into a war zone.The compulsory two-week leave was supposed to give me time to think. Instead, it gave me nightmares about Elliot’s possessive eyes and Laurent’s too good to be true promises. Now I was back, heart heavy, my official resignation letter still sitting unsent in my email. I expected awkward stares. Whispers. Maybe a few fake smiles.But the treatment I got was worse. The silence was deafening, something was wrong somewhere.The second I walked through the glass doors, every conversation stopped. Heads turned. Eyes looked away fast. No one said “welcome back.” No one clapped like they had for my promotion. Nobody was excited to see me. The moment I walk pass my colleagues they’d immediately stop talking and stare dangerously in a way that made me uncomfortable.My desk was even moved to a far corner, away from the main team. Half of my projects were reassigned. The air felt thi

  • OWNED BY THE GHOST    The Final Threat

    Scott’s POVMy phone exploded at 6:45 AM.Notifications poured in like a flood, messages, tags, screenshots. I sat up in bed, heart pounding to know what it was all about.Then I opened the first one, only to see a gossip post about me everywhere.Every popular blog was carrying the news. Zenex Lead Curator Scott McAllen: Sleeping His Way to the Top. They were also edited photos to make it look real. Comments flooded in. “No wonder he got promoted so fast.” “Who’s favorite toy is he?” “How much is he really worth?”I felt sick. My hands shook as I scrolled. The exhibition success, the promotion, the viral magazine article, everything good was now poisoned and twisted. People weren’t talking about my art anymore. They were talking about me like they knew me personally. Like they knew half of what I’ve been through.Some strangers I haven’t even met were in the comments saying ill things about me and claiming to know me personally.I got dressed fast, skipped breakfast, and headed t

  • OWNED BY THE GHOST    The Shadow Queen

    Victoria’s POVI watched from the shadows as that scumbag that calls himself Scott left Elliot’s penthouse late at night, his shirt wrinkled and his walk was a little off, like someone had just fucked him senseless. I got so pissed and jealous. Like how dare he? How dare that nobody artist get what I had wanted for so long?I had tried everything for Elliot Travis to love me. My beauty, my rich family background, my clever tricks, late-night “work” meetings, subtle touches in the elevator, dresses that showed just enough for a man to stare. But he never looked at me. Not once. He stayed cold, distant, untouchable. And then Scott McAllen walked in and suddenly Elliot was different. Close. Almost human. To the point Elliot is affected by Scott’s decision to leave Zenex.But Scott leaving him is a good thing for me. The thought made me smile in the dark.If Scott was out of the way, Elliot would finally see me. He would need me. He would want me.I walked back to my car, mind racing.

  • OWNED BY THE GHOST   The Lion Inside

    Elliot’s POVThe resignation letter was there on my desk staring at me but I didn’t even notice it.I found it by accident, a folded paper Scott must have left behind after our fight. My hands shook as I opened it.Dear Mr. Travis,I can’t do this anymore. The pushing. The pulling. The secrets. I quit.I stared at the words, chest tight. He was really going to leave. After everything, when I saw him come to my penthouse I thought he had a change of mind and decided to stay. I’ve done things I wouldn't do ordinarily just to keep him but none of that worked. He was so desperate to see me say the magic words “I love you,” that he failed to see a man who’s fighting his demons and going against all odds just to make him happy. “Shit! I shouldn’t have made him lead the exhibition. Maybe his success won’t blow up and he’ll suddenly have options.” I smashed my hand on the wall fighting with myself.A lion will always beget a lion. The lion my father raised woke up snarling. If I can’t have

  • OWNED BY THE GHOST   The Balcony

    Scott’s POVThe airport lounge was so beautiful and calm, but I felt nothing but heaviness in my heart. Am I doing the right thing ? My ticket to Paris sat in my hand staring at me like a bomb about to explode.Boarding was in thirty minutes. Laurent had sent a car to wait for me at the airport. I’m suddenly moving to Paris without even resigning properly.I’ll have my freedom at last. No more debts. No more hiding. No more Elliot calling me a mistake after fucking me with passion.I stared at the ticket, heart tearing in two. Part of me wanted to run to the gate and never look back. The other part, the stupid, hopeless part, wanted to turn around and run back to the man who broke me every night and held me like I mattered to him. My phone rang. Jayden.I answered quickly. “Hey man.”“Bro, don’t get on that plane,” Jayden said, voice urgent. “I just left the office. Elliot looks like shit. He’s falling apart without you. He’s snapping at everyone, staring at your empty desk like it

  • OWNED BY THE GHOST   The Ghost

    Scott’s POVThe copy room smelled like warm paper or do I say stale coffee. I was alone, photocopying some documents concerning the upcoming exhibition, still riding high from last night’s penthouse session, my ass deliciously sore, Elliot’s handprints faint on my skin. For once, I let myself smile

  • OWNED BY THE GHOST   Painted Mine

    Scott’s POVThe elevator doors opened straight into Elliot’s hidden playroom, and my breath caught. Dim red lighting, black walls, a suspension rig hanging from the ceiling like something out of a dark fantasy. Padded benches, hooks, a rack of toys that made my cock twitch.
