Chapter One

Finn's POV:I looked around the crowded room and had to force myself not to yawn, i couldn’t stand attending events where everyone drank too much, laughed too loud and tried far too hard to impress each other, i knew i was what women considered a real catch. Hell, a stupid magazine had done a write up on NYC most eligible bachelors and placed my picture as number one, I had been furious and tried to have myself taken out of the article but my attorney had spouted some crap about freedom of speech, since the publishing of the article,i was being approached by even more materialistic females.The magazine listed my net worth as equal to the richest man in the world, they had also said i was tall, dark and handsome, he stood over six feet, with broad shoulders and muscles that rippled throughout his entire body, i hated gyms but i ran every morning and sometime in the evenings too, I had discovered at a young age that running was a great form of relieving my stress.I knew the second be

Chapter Two

“David Gilbert is here tonight and he is talking to some people, trying to get investors,” Russell answered with seriousness in his old wrinkled face, the moment i heard what my old man said, I was on instant alert, i searched the room, spotting my enemy, he was the one who had made me the cut throat business man I had turned into.“It is far too late for him, by tomorrow morning his company will be mine, no matter what he tries tonight,” I said with a sneer, the sound of David's name caused anger coursing through my vein.As i watched David, a beautiful woman approached him, stepping up on her tip toes to kiss him on the cheek, david didn’t even bother to turn and acknowledge her, which she did not seem to notice, the man noticed nothing around him if it did not have dollar signs on it, not even his stunning daughter, my eyes narrowed to slits, I hadn’t seen Lilith for ten years and those years had been very good to her.Her dress was skin tight on top, dipping low in both the front

Chapter Three

I had seen Finn in school from the time I was young but i really got to know him the summer before my senior year in high school. He had been from the proverbial wrong side of the tracks, his family was dirt poor but he was always determined to make a success out of his own life and turn things around. Finn ended up helping me with my math and soon we were inseparable, i loved his hunger and motivation and the way he never talked down about anyone, i thought he was every one of my fairytales come to life.I found i was spending every waking moment with him, when my father found out i was dating a boy from the poor side of town he became very furious and demanded that i end the relationship, it was the first time in my life my father told me that I could not have something i wanted, it also was the first time I had defied my father.I had been stubborn, putting my foot down and continued to see Finn behind my father’s back, I dearly loved that he seemed to like me for me and not my mo

Chapter Four

I planned on heading to the city and making something of myself so I could continue to give her all the things she was used to, i wanted to make sure she never went without anything, heck! I wanted to place her on a throne and spoil her rotten, i was ready to do or give her anything she wanted.That fateful day i had shown up at the church full of naïve teenager dreams and one bag when I heard approaching steps, I turned in anticipation, ready to see my Lilith, but my heart sunk at the sight of her father, the man approached with a sympathetic smile plastered on his face.“Finn, I’m sorry but Lilith asked me to come and speak with you,” David had stated, I didn’t understand why she would send her father to me after our arrangements and plans. “lilith said she could not face you but she did not want to leave here, i have some cash here to help you on your way, she said you planned to go to the city and I want to help you get there,” he said with that same smile on his face.I felt lik

Chapter Five

Finn's POV::“It’s good to see you again, David,” i said, never losing my cool, I loved the look of anger mixed with fear in his eyes, i knew my mission was beginning to unfold, and i would not stop until I brings David Gilbert to his knees.“I was getting things straightened out and then you swoop in and steal my company out from under me,” the man continued to yell, he was so angry, his face was completely red and he could barely speak. The angrier David got, the calmer i felt.“I guess you should’ve run your business a bit more above ground and not left it vulnerable to a takeover,” I said. David looked like he wanted to jump across the room and strangle me to death, but held himself, trying to control his raging nerves.I looked over the man, who had seemed so much larger than life when I was still a teenager, the man now looked shrunken and old. It was satisfying.“I ran my business successfully, for over forty years, you pompous piece of trash, you may have the rest of the worl

Chapter Six

The minute David had placed the corporation on the stock market; he had investors to be accountable too, and since David had been stealing from those investors for years, they were going to want answers, I smiled some more as I thought about David’s life continuing to go down the drain.I left all the staff at their jobs for now but had memos sent out notifying them they were going to have to defend their jobs, I normally left all of that to my staff but since this operation was personal to me, I would be conducting many of those interviews, myself.I had a couple of trusted associates coming with me and I was like a kid on Christmas morning, it was time to go to my new corporation and do some investigating, I had made the decision to keep the company as it was but there would be a lot of people losing their jobs and a lot of new hires, it would take months to get it all straightened out.I was getting ready to leave, when my father walked into the office. “Where are you off to, son?

Chapter Seven

“Here is your new badge and some for your men, also some workers will be in over the next few days setting up key pads for all the elevators and exits. Here is the list of men who will be here doing the work, these men and only these men are allowed in, if their company tries to send over replacements call me and I’ll let you know if they are approved or not,” I told him.“Okay boss,” Ethan replied, then set to work making phone calls.I spent the first part of the morning exploring the huge building, the most time was spent down on the bottom floors, assessing the factory and its workers, They were eyeing me with trepidation and I knew my father was right, I needed to speak with them soon, the work on the other part of the empire was going slow and he noticed obvious mistakes being made, he knew a lot of that had to do with their lack of enthusiasm for underpaid work and part of it had to do with the fact they were so unsure of their futures.I decided to call a meeting right away,

Chapter Eight

Lilith Pov.I walked into the familiar building, having to fight back my tears. There were men outside, working on placing a new sign. It was more proof the company no longer belonged to my father. I had been trying to reach him for days, to ask him what had happened. He hadn’t even told me the company was in jeopardy of being taken over.He wasn’t answering his phone, or returning my calls. I had been to his place several times and was told he wasn’t there. I tried again that morning but wasn’t able to get past the gates and found a real estate sign on his front lawn.I was trying to understand what was going on and why my father wouldn’t speak to me, I knew the new owner of the company was scheduled to be there that day and I was determined to get some answers. I had worked so hard throughout the years and had some day hoped to own the company I cared so much about, but those dreams were now gone.I would’ve walked out the doors when the take-over had occurred but I didn’t only ha

Chapter Nine

“I’m so sorry Mr. Finn. I returned from lunch and then stalked out of the offices before I could stop her,” Annie said a bit breathlessly. My whole world seemed to come to a standstill as the woman said his name. He slowly turned in his chair and our eyes connected.I couldn’t breathe, as I realized the man who had turned my world upside down again, was none other than my ex-lover. My knees would no longer hold me up and I sank down into the chair, which was thankfully positioned behind me. We stared at one another as the seconds ticked by.“Thank you Annie, you can leave us now,” was all he said, in his cold, controlled voice he had developed.“But sir, you said you wanted one of us in here as you let people go…” she began protesting.“I said leave,” he told the woman. She looked at him with surprise and then glared at me before heading out the door, which she slammed behind her. I could see the woman thought of Finn as more than her boss.I wouldn’t put it past him to be sleeping w

Chapter Ten

LilithPov:I wanted to stand up and slap him across his smug face. I had never in my life been so angry. How could he look at me so coldly? How could he have turned into this cruel hearted man? I was so grateful I had never told him about my son, because I was sure he would’ve tried to acquire him the same way he acquired his businesses.“I do my job very well. I will expect to be treated like any other employee here. I also don’t want to speak with you anymore,” I said as I stood up to leave. I needed to find a bathroom quickly, where I could break down in private.Before I had taken more than a few steps he grabbed my arm and I was suddenly standing there, far too close to him. I cursed my traitorous body wanting to lean up against him. His smell was invading my senses, making the heat pool up in my core. No, no, no, I shouted at myself. I refused to let him affect me.“It would be hard to treat you like any other employee since you’re the only one here I’ve sunk deep inside while
