Elena’s office door clicked shut behind her, muting the hum of voices from the outer floor. She pressed her back to the wood, clutching her bag to her chest like a shield, willing her heart to slow.

The whole morning she’d felt Roth’s eyes on her at breakfast, in the car ride when Adrian drove her in, even from across the lobby when she had caught sight of him speaking with a client. She told herself it was paranoia. Told herself he couldn’t be everywhere at once.

But she knew better. Roth was

    The city stretched endlessly beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows of Roth's office, from the top floor of Dimitri Holdings. Everything beneath him looked distant and insignificant. Roth had always liked the view. It reminded him how high he'd climbed and how few people could ever stand where he did.Normally, he would have stood there with a glass of whiskey in one hand, watching the city settle into the evening while planning his next move. Tonight, he barely noticed it. His attention was fixed elsewhere.On the woman sitting casually on the edge of his desk.Celeste crossed one elegant leg over the other, as though she belonged in his office. A slow, confident smile curved her lips when she noticed him looking her way. Her skirt rode high, silk blouse deliberately undone, each button teasing down toward the valley of her breasts. She knew exactly what she was doing, one leg crossed over the other, dangling a heel in the air. The soft scent of her perfume curled into the office like

    Adrian pulled back just enough to study her face. His eyes searched hers with quiet concern, as if he could see she was carrying something she refused to share."Come with me tonight," he said gently. "Let's have dinner. Just the two of us. No work, no wedding planning, no family. I think you need a break."Elena looked at him for a long moment. A few weeks ago, the idea of spending an evening alone with Adrian would have filled her with excitement. It should have felt comforting. He was the man she was supposed to marry, the man who loved her with a patience she had never truly appreciated until she started losing herself.But lately, safety felt strangely empty. Her mind kept wandering toward danger, toward the man she knew she should hate. The one who had turned every peaceful thought into restless nights and guilty mornings.She hated herself for it. Still, she forced a small smile and nodded. "Okay."The rest of the day passed in a blur. Meetings came and went. Emails piled up. R

    The next day, Elena sat in her office, the city glittering through the glass walls like a thousand unblinking eyes. The papers on her desk blurred together. Her fingers trembled around the pen she’d been clutching for the past half-hour, the ink bleeding into the page where she’d pressed too hard. She couldn’t stop picturing him. Roth’s hand on Celeste’s thigh under the table. Roth’s mouth ghosts over her ear. Roth standing now, maybe, in the bedroom of his penthouse, stripping that silken dress from Celeste’s body. His voice was low and commanding. His body is relentless.The image gutted her. And worse? it ignited her. Her thighs pressed together under the desk, a pathetic attempt to smother the heat building between them. She hated the shame curling tight in her chest and hated that she could imagine it so clearly that she could want it so badly.Elena Caldwell was unraveling. She pushed back from the desk, standing too abruptly, pacing across the polished floor. Her heels clicked

    Celeste clung to his arm as they left the restaurant, her perfume cloying, her laughter soft and feminine. Roth let her lean into him, allowed her fingers to lace through his, and allowed the picture-perfect image to paint itself for anyone who might be watching. On the surface, it was flawless: the powerful Dimitri patriarch with a striking woman at his side. But beneath the calm mask, Roth’s blood was still simmering. The sight of Elena pressed against that wall replayed in his head like a fever dream, the way her breath had stuttered when he touched her throat, the way her thighs had trembled when his hand slid beneath her dress. She had wanted him. She always wanted him. And she hated herself for it. That was what made it exquisite. Celeste thought she had his attention. She thought she could reclaim something of him by showing up tonight in that red dress and pretending she owned the space beside him. She didn’t realize she was nothing more than a tool, a distraction to mask th

    Elena answered when Celeste spoke to her, smiled when expected, and nodded through conversations she couldn't even remember. Most of her attention stayed fixed on the man sitting opposite her. She hated herself for it.Every time Roth spoke, his voice pulled at her thoughts. Every time Celeste leaned closer to him, Elena's chest tightened a little more. She kept telling herself none of it mattered, that she should be focused on Adrian sitting beside her. But the more she tried to ignore Roth, the more impossible it became.She shifted in her chair, thighs pressing together beneath the tablecloth, her body betraying her. Adrian didn’t notice but Roth did.His hand moved, casual, resting on the table close to his knife. His thumb brushed the handle slowly, as though he were stroking skin. Elena’s lips parted. He caught her gaze just for a second before turning to Celeste with a question about her latest project. It was unbearable.Adrian reached under the table, laying his hand on Elena

    Over the next few days, Elena did everything she could to avoid Roth. She left the penthouse before sunrise, long before either Adrian or his father woke up, and made sure she didn't return until late in the evening. If Adrian asked, she blamed work, wedding appointments, or meetings that had suddenly run longer than expected. The excuses came easily now, even though every lie added another layer of guilt she already struggled to carry. She couldn't bear being anywhere near Roth. Every time she caught a glimpse of him, memories she desperately wanted to bury came rushing back. She still remembered the way he'd looked at her, the sound of his voice, the reckless choices they'd made that neither of them could undo. No matter how hard she tried to focus on something else, her mind always wandered back to him, leaving her shaken and ashamed. The guilt was slowly consuming her. Her wedding was only a month away, yet instead of feeling excited, she felt trapped between two completely
