The doctor’s fingers worked carefully, unwinding the last layers of bandage from Roy’s head and face. As the gauze fell away, Stephanie’s eyes widened in shock.

Deep, jagged scars slashed across his once-handsome features; ugly pink and red lines left by shattered glass. The wounds looked raw and vicious beneath the bright light.

Roy sat motionless for a moment, his expression unreadable.

“Get me a damn mirror!” he snapped when nobody moved.

The room remained frozen for a heartbeat before a nur

  • Trapped By Desire: Falling For A Heartless Billionaire    Better Left Buried

    The living room fell into complete silence except for the sound of Alana's muffled sobs. The dark revelation hidden within the old diary had shattered years of memories in a matter of minutes. Learning that her mother had betrayed her father, a man she had always claimed to love, felt like having the ground ripped out from beneath Alana's feet.Some truths were better left buried, yet Roy had deliberately dug this one up and placed it directly into her hands. But to what end? The question circled her mind like something with teeth, refusing to let go, gnawing at whatever composure she had left.Roman gently rubbed circles against her back until her breathing gradually steadied. He guided her back onto the sofa before reaching for the tissue box on the coffee table and pulling out a few tissues for her, his movements careful, unhurried, like he was handling something that might shatter if he moved too fast.Alana accepted them with trembling fingers, dabbing at her tear-streaked fa

    "I think there's a problem with the shower," Alana said as she pulled out a chair and sat down at the dining table.Roman was still setting the last few dishes on the table, the clink of porcelain the only sound in the otherwise quiet kitchen."What happened?" he asked, placing another plate in front of her."The hot water stopped running halfway through. Maybe I'll call a plumber tomorrow and have it checked," he said, settling into his own seat.Alana nodded."That would be great."He pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down.The rich aroma drifting from the dishes immediately reached Alana's nose, making her stomach growl. Roasted garlic, something buttery underneath it, the faint tang of lemon.She looked over the spread before her, her eyes lighting up."These all look delicious.""Then stop staring at them and dig in," Roman muttered, though the corner of his mouth twitched with the beginning of a smile.Alana laughed softly and wasted no time picking up her fork.By the t

    From the moment Roman stepped out of the mansion after speaking with Mr. Beaufort, Erin couldn't help but notice how much darker his aura had become. It was as though the conversation had dragged him back to a place he despised, leaving a storm simmering beneath his otherwise expressionless face. Even after working beside Roman for years, Erin knew better than to ask what had transpired inside. Whenever Roman wore that particular look, it usually meant someone had crossed a line they shouldn't have. And if history had taught Erin anything, it was that the unfortunate person would eventually pay for it. Though he wasn't quite certain what Mr Beaufort would be paying for.He silently opened the rear door of the car. Roman slid into the back seat without a word, loosening his tie with one hand before leaning his head against the leather headrest and shutting his eyes.Erin closed the door and circled to the front passenger seat.The driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror.

    "What makes you think I would even consider that absurd suggestion you made two months ago?" Roman asked, staring at Mr. Beaufort with undisguised disbelief.There was no hesitation in his voice, nor the slightest indication that he had entertained the idea.If anything, the mere thought of it seemed to offend him. He leaned back in his chair, his expression remaining as unreadable as ever while his sharp eyes stayed fixed on the old man across from him.Mr. Beaufort let out a quiet scoff, as though Roman's reaction was the only absurd thing in the conversation."I don't see any reason why you shouldn't do exactly as I'm asking," he replied calmly, folding his hands over the polished head of his walking cane."No one else in the Gates family knows this except me." He lifted a finger and traced an imaginary line through the air between them. "The Gates family succession has always been simple. If the first son falls, the second takes over. If the second son falls, the third inherits ev

    Roy was there for trouble. She didn't need to meet him to know that."Ma'am?" Lila called softly, still waiting for a response.Alana finally looked up from the documents on her desk. "Tell him I have no interest in meeting with him. If he has a message for me, he can pass it through you.""Okay, ma'am."Lila placed the last folder on Alana's desk before turning and leaving the office.With a quiet sigh, Alana leaned back in her chair and opened the first file, forcing herself to focus on work. But no matter how hard she tried, her thoughts drifted back to Roy.What was he even thinking by coming here? Did he honestly believe she would let him anywhere near her after everything he had done?"The crazy fucker," Alana muttered under her breath, shaking her head before returning her attention to the file.About ten minutes later, there was another knock on the office door."Come in."Lila walked in, this time carrying a medium sized box in both hands."Is that a delivery for me?" Alana a

    The next morning came sooner than either of them would have liked since they were still enjoying themselves, cuddling in bed.Alana rolled onto her side, about to get up, but before she could, Roman wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her back against him."Where do you think you're going?" he asked sleepily."It's morning. We need to get ready for work," Alana replied."Just five more minutes," Roman mumbled. "Come on. Five more minutes, then we can get ready."Alana lightly slapped his hand."We're running late already. Get up."She gently pushed him away.Roman groaned, running a hand over his face."Fine."He climbed out of bed and started toward the bathroom.Alana narrowed her eyes."Where do you think you're going?""To take a shower with you," Roman answered casually."You're not taking a shower with me.""Why not?" he asked, giving her an innocent look."Because if you come in there with me, we're going to do a lot more than just showering, and I don't have time for th

    Instead, her anxiety only spiked. Carl glanced over at Erin, who was leaning against the wall opposite them, glaring at him. He silently mouthed, 'What?' and shrugged in confusion.Erin pinched the bridge of his nose, frustrated by Carl’s bright idea and choice of words. Meanwhile, in Roman's offi

    So what kind of memory was that? It was too clear to dismiss as just a bad dream, yet she couldn’t recall anything that horrible ever happening to her.She shook her head. "I don’t remember what I was dreaming about," she replied, her gaze drifting outside."Why are we going to see Roman?" she que

He couldn’t even recall the last time he did something like that.He turned off the shower, feeling his thoughts finally begin to settle.However, he couldn’t shake off the disturb

    "Mmhh," she moaned against his lips, and Roman took that moment to insert his tongue into her mouth.His tongue explored her mouth as the kiss deepened, turning more impatient. He squeezed her breast harder, earning another soft, muffled moan from her.Completely intoxicated by the deep kiss, somet
