Adrian's POV

The slap still burned hot on my cheek like a brand.

I sat behind my massive desk on the 42nd floor of Valenti Tower, staring at the Milan skyline through floor-to-ceiling glass. My jaw throbbed real bad where my father’s hand had connected last night. The red mark had faded, but the humiliation had not. That little bitch Cara had played me like a cheap violin in front of him.

And I let her.

My fingers tightened around the crystal glass of whiskey until I thought it might shatter by

  • His Ruthless Obsession    028 — High On Rage

    Adrian's POV (Earlier in the same night at the casino.)I prepared another of my drug, just the right little dosage and sniffed it in. The fine white powder stung sharply inside my nostrils like tiny needles digging deep. It burned all the way down to the back of my throat with a strong bitter taste that made my eyes water for a second. Almost immediately, a powerful rush of heat exploded through my veins. My heart pounded faster and louder in my ears like a war drum. The edges of my vision sharpened. The low lights in the VVIP booth seemed brighter and harsher. Every sound around me felt clearer and more intense. Just when I needed to explode right now.Right after, I poured myself another glass of whiskey. Ice cubes clinked loudly against the glass as I poured too much. I lifted the glass to my lips and took a big gulp. The whiskey burned hot and fierce down my throat. It mixed with the drug high and sent raging fire spreading through my chest and stomach."A minor issue, huh?" I sa

  • His Ruthless Obsession    027 — Hidden in Plain Sight

    Cara's POV The meeting was finally off, for what felt like forever. Tony walked him out personally. Their voices faded down the hall. I stayed behind for a moment. The scent of coffee had cooled. Empty chairs stood like silent witnesses. My pulse beat steady with a cold thrill. This new arc felt full of possibilities for sure. Hudson had secrets. I could feel it in my bones. And I loved to uncover them.I gathered my things and left the boardroom. The hallway carpet muffled my heels as I walked toward Adrian's office. The building hummed with normal activity. Phones rang distantly. Printers whirred. I reached his door and pushed it open without knocking.Just as I entered, I heard his loud voice."What!" He roared over the phone. His shout made my mind jump right there. The sound bounced off the walls sharply."I'll be at the casino tonight," he barked into the receiver. With that, he slammed the phone down. He walked past me fast, shoulder brushing mine roughly. The force carried th

    Cara's POV."I believe Mr. Hudson represents the future we all want to invest in," Tony's voice boomed across the boardroom table, steady and commanding.I sat at the front, with my legs crossed neatly under the table. The leather chair felt cool and firm against my back. The air in the room carried the rich scent of fresh coffee from the silver pots on the side cart and the faint, expensive cologne worn by the men around me. My notebook lay open in front of me, pen poised, but my mind already spun faster than any meeting notes ever could.Hudson leaned back in his seat at the head of the table opposite Tony. He was in his late fourties, sharp-featured with silver streaks in his dark hair. His tailored suit hugged his broad shoulders perfectly. Power radiated from him like heat from a fresh cup of espresso. The presidential election was getting real close, and everyone in this room knew he was the strongest candidate. His eyes scanned the room with calculated charm."Thank you, Tony,"

  • His Ruthless Obsession    025 — Two Sides Of The Night.

    Tony's POVI was taken aback at first, then I kissed her back. Perhaps that's what I need to cool off tonight. Her lips pressed firm and warm against mine. They tasted of her lipstick and the red wine from earlier dinner. In the moment, the heat came up as we kissed, moving slowly toward the bed. Our feet shuffled across the thick carpet. My hands roamed her back, feeling the silk of her nightdress.I unbuckled my belt fast. The metal buckle clinked loudly in the quiet room. Then I zipped down fast. The zipper sound cut through the soft piano music still playing low from the hidden speakers.She dropped on the bed, smiling low. The bed dipped under her with a soft creak. "Juliana," I murmured, my voice rough.Right there, I pulled her nightdress up. The silk fabric bunched around her waist, smooth and cool against my palms. Her breasts spilled out from the top of the nightdress, full and exposed in the golden light. I stood at the edge of the bed, my feet planted firm on the cool

    Tony's POV."You're back early," Juliana, my wife who sat down, facing the mirror, doing her night makeup finally said something the few minutes that i walked in to my room.The bedroom door clicked shut behind me with a heavy sound. The room smelled of her expensive face powder and the faint floral scent of her perfume that always hung in the air like a soft cloud. Soft golden lights from her dressing table, lit up the space, casting warm reflections on the large mirror and the wooden floors.I walked across the thick carpet, my shoes sinking in with each step. My body felt the full weight of the long day, muscles tight in my shoulders and back.I gave a quick glance but I didn't say anything. I set my suitcase down beside the bed with a dull thud, then removed my watch and cufflinks, placing them on the nightstand. The watch band left a faint red mark on my wrist. I rolled my neck slowly, hearing a small crack."Is everything good at work? You look downright flushed." She said, reall

    Cara's POV."How were you able to convince that dick head to still work with us?" Tony blurted out as soon as we got in his office, collapsing on his chair. "Tell me,"The wooden door clicked shut behind us with a solid thud that echoed in his large office. Tony dropped into his big leather chair, He let out a long breath, his shoulders sinking back as the chair rolled slightly on the smooth floor.I stood in front of the desk, now back in full secretary mode for the rest of the day. My heels pressed firm into the soft carpet, keeping my posture straight and professional. I folded my hands neatly in front of me, the fabric of my skirt smooth against my legs. A faint smile played on my lips as I watched him."We just had a small business talk," I said, not willing to drag as I'm out of ideas. My voice came out calm and even, like it was the most normal thing in the world. I kept my eyes on his face, steady and unblinking.He gave me a sharp gaze, totally not buying that. His eyebrows p
