Jack Stanford had not been expecting visitors. Only Elize and a select few others ever ventured down to his basement office.

He was a short, simple man whose only background was in finance. Not people. People scared him. A lot.

He had worked at the national bank before Elize brought him here. It was now his responsibility to anticipate the company's financial needs. Thus, Elize could always be one step ahead of bankruptcy.

Seeing a tall young man with curly raven hair and a suit worth a fortune, he knew he had to get up. Straightening up with a grunt and a tug at his pants, he said, “Good afternoon. You must be…”

They shook hands, and the stranger said, “Turner. Simon Turner.”

“How may I be of help, Mr. Turner?”

Simon maintained a confident demeanor, aware that the accountant might be uneasy about sharing financial details.

"Mr. Stanford," Simon began, "I've recently taken on the role of Crisis Manager here at Glam Garb Fashion. My responsibility is to ensure the company's financial s

    Simon wore a faint, knowing smile. "I'm suggesting that sometimes, in business, we have to make difficult choices. Choices that can be mutually beneficial. Elize has had her time at the helm of Glam Garb Fashion. Maybe it's time for someone else to take the reins, someone who can truly appreciate and reward your talents."Sarah's eyes flickered with uncertainty, but her loyalty to Elize remained steadfast. "I appreciate the offer, Mr. Turner, but I owe everything to Miss Bennett. I can't betray her trust."“You can’t always grow where you’re planted. Sometimes you’ll have to uproot yourself or change the soil you grow in.” Simon leaned back, his expression thoughtful. "I respect your loyalty, Sarah. But opportunities like what I’m offering you don't knock on our doors every day."He had never used his Bind and Control ability on someone to whom he had no attraction whatsoever. Her stiffness and her rigid demeanor didn’t appeal to him. Worries about whether he could really fantasize a

    Simon's car raced down the winding roads of the southern city outskirts, passing through landscapes of rolling hills and vast stretches of greenery. The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows over the countryside. As he approached the villa, he couldn't help but marvel at the opulence that contrasted with the natural beauty surrounding it. The villa's large, arched windows glistened in the afternoon sun, and its creamy walls made an impressive statement. A large, beautifully landscaped front garden featured a marble angel statue with its wings spread out, as if guarding the front door.Simon parked his car and walked up the stone pathway that led to the massive wooden door. He hesitated for a moment, gathering his thoughts and bracing himself for what might come. Then, with a deep breath, he raised his hand and knocked.The seconds that followed felt like an eternity. Simon's heart pounded in his chest as he waited for a response. He had no idea how Elize would react to his un

    Simon's car rumbled into the parking lot of a modest apartment complex on the outskirts of the city. The building was far from glamorous, with peeling paint and flickering fluorescent lights. He hadn't been here in a while, and the place felt different. Smaller. Dingier. Yet it still held a strange comfort for him.As he trudged up the dimly lit staircase, he couldn't help but think about the day's events. Elize's child, the secrets she harbored... He needed to make sense of it. And above all, why did she keep that kid a secret?Unlocking the door to his old apartment, he stepped inside. The place was exactly as he'd left it, with sparse furniture and faded wallpaper. It felt like a relic of a different time, a time before the Satisfaction System had been gifted to him.Simon settled onto his worn-out couch, thoughts churning. His conversation with Elize had left him with more questions than answers. There was something about her past that she was covering up, and he was going to find

    Simon's old, cramped apartment had become his sanctum for contemplation. The only thing that the muted TV's flickering glow disturbed was its dimly lit interior. His mind raced as he paced the threadbare carpet, tracing the connections that seemed to weave an intricate web around Elize, Steven, and Anne. Had he stumbled upon a secret love triangle between them?A sudden, piercing ringing interrupted his train of thought just as he began to think he was onto something. His phone. He wanted to ignore the call, but the intrusion of the outside world took away his other thoughts. He found the phone on the battered coffee table and retrieved it, trying to mask the confusion in his voice as he answered.“Yes?”“Mister Turner?”It sounded like a woman between the ages of twenty and thirty. She seemed slightly asthmatic.“Yes. Who is this?”"From the Morning Post, sir. I’m sorry to call you this late. But I need to ask if you and Anne Parker are getting divorced.”Simon sat on the couch. He pa

    Simon sat back and took a sip of the whiskey. It was a poor man’s whiskey, cheap and bitter, that he had stashed away in his desk drawer. But it did the trick. He savored the slight burn as he mused over his next move. Mary, his cheating ex, was back in the picture. He thought she’d back off after what he did to her.He finished his drink, feeling the warmth spreading through his body, before he picked up his phone and dialed her number. She answered on the second ring, her voice low and soothing.“Simon, hi. It’s good to hear from you. How are you doing?”Not the greeting he had expected…“I’m good, Mary. How are you?”“I’m better now that you called.” “Yeah? Is that why you tipped off the press about Emma and I? So I would call you?”“It was either that or going to the police and filing charges for rape and assault. I went to a doctor right after the incident, and he took samples of your semen. There's more than enough for a DNA test, so I can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that y

    Simon felt his heart race as Rose's hands gently enclosed his, her emerald green eyes studying him intently. Her candid question left him fumbling for words, and he struggled to string together a coherent sentence. He stammered, "Well, I, uh, I... I do like you, Rose. I mean, you're smart, beautiful, and, uh, you have this incredible spirit, and it's... quite captivating."In sharp contrast to the heavy news reports, Rose's laughter was bright and melodic. "Simon, you're adorable when you're flustered. But let's not overcomplicate things. Life's too short. What do you say we take a chance?"Simon cracked a grin as he realized that maybe there was room for more than platonic friendship between them. He suddenly relaxed, realizing he liked Rose. She exuded an endearing purity that set her apart from other women. Not to mention how she seemed totally unaware of her own beauty."I'd like that, Rose. I'd like to take a chance." He paused, his free hand settling on her nape and guiding he

    Simon wanted to do it with Rose. There was nothing else in his life about which he was more certain. But all the self assurance he had built for himself over the past few weeks vanished. No longer was he the self-assured man who could do anything — from beating up Chad in the streets to exacting his revenge by making Mary feel the same way he did.No, he was a man in a daze. His hand slid beneath Rose’s shirt, pushing her bra aside. His fingers wrapped around her bare breast, cupping it in his palm. She moaned, a sweet, feminine sound that made his heart flutter.Her delicate flesh was too much for him to bear. Every part of her captivated him, from her delicate, firm nipple responding to his taunts to her seductive breath on his lips and the entrancing aroma of her hair. Too much disarray in his mind for him to come up with a reasonable plan. He knew nothing but the need to possess her.Still on top of him, her hips pressed against his, she started to rock back and forth over the bu

    The penthouse where Anne lived was located in one of those hip downtown buildings that Catherine would never have considered living in. Her lavish mansions and houses betrayed her traditional values. She had no idea why her daughter was living in an apartment building and had never visited her until now.It was only upon entering the building's lobby for the first time that she came to the realization that this apartment block was delightful and luxurious.Perched in an alcove beside a bust, a sign informed onlookers, in golden letters, that the top floor belonged to Anne Parker.The elevator began to ascend silently as Catherine took out the spare keys that Anne had given her many years ago. For all she knew, she would never put them to use. Nonetheless, Catherine felt compelled to check in on her daughter's marriage today. The truth was that she started to question whether the relationship was just a temporary arrangement that Anne had impulsively entered into and was now adamantly

    Anne paced the living room, her blonde waves disheveled, her icy blue eyes wild with fury. The news of her father’s conviction had shattered whatever fragile stability she had left.“Simon!” she screamed, her voice echoing off the high ceilings.Simon entered the room slowly, his deep blue eyes calm, unreadable. He had been expecting this. He leaned against the doorframe, crossing his arms as Anne rounded on him.“You think you’ve won, don’t you?” Anne hissed, her voice trembling with rage. “You came into my life, into my family, and you ruined everything!”Simon’s smirk was faint, almost pitying. “You ruined it yourself, Anne. Or have you forgotten who forced who into this marriage?”Simon’s words struck a nerve, and Anne’s face twisted with fury. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides, trembling as she glared at him.“You don’t get to throw that in my face!” she shouted, her voice sharp enough to cut glass. “You wouldn’t understand me in a million years.”Simon crossed his arms,

    The high-end hotel suite exuded quiet luxury. The low lights highlighted the rich textures of the room—mahogany furniture, cream linens, and gold accents that spoke to a wealth that didn’t need to scream for attention.Cassandra opened the door, stepping inside with a confident sway that made John follow like a man under a spell. She shrugged off her coat, draping it over a chair before turning back to him, her dark eyes glinting with promise.“You always this impulsive?” she teased, walking toward the minibar.John loosened his tie, letting it hang around his neck as he leaned against the wall. “Only when it’s worth it.”Cassandra laughed softly, pulling out two glasses. “I like that.”She handed him a glass, her fingers brushing his just enough to spark a moment of contact.“To worth it,” she said, raising her glass.John clinked his glass against hers, his gaze never leaving her. “To worth it.”Unseen, Simon sat in his small apartment, the glow from his laptop screen illuminating h

    The Parker family estate was a fortress of wealth and power. Inside, John Parker sat in his expansive study, the glow of his antique desk lamp illuminating his cheekbones. His icy demeanor reflected in the highball glass he swirled absently, the amber liquid sloshing like a storm in a bottle.Across from him stood his trusted confidant, Victor Black, a man as ruthless as he was loyal. Victor’s tailored suit was as sharp as his tone as he laid a file on the polished mahogany desk.“You’re not going to like this, Mr. Parker,” Victor said, his voice low.John’s piercing blue eyes flicked to the file, then back to Victor. “What is it?” he asked, his tone calm, but there was an edge to it, the calm before the storm.Victor hesitated for half a second before continuing. “It’s Simon. Your daughter’s husband.” He leaned forward, tapping the folder. “He’s been... involved with Rose.”The name hit John like a slap. His jaw tightened, and the glass in his hand came down with a sharp thud. “Ros

    The sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the hall. Steven Jones stepped into the foyer, his tall frame casting long shadows across the pristine marble floor. His amber eyes glinted with predatory amusement as they swept across the room, lingering for a fraction too long on the figure standing near the staircase.Elize froze the moment she saw him. Her red hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail, and her usually sharp hazel eyes darted nervously toward the doorway. Her fingers fidgeted with the hem of her maid’s outfit, betraying the tension in her otherwise poised appearance.“Steven,” she said softly, her voice trembling despite her effort to remain composed. “Why are you here?”Steven’s smirk widened. “Elize,” he drawled, his voice filled with false warmth. “I came to check on you. And on my son.”Anne entered the room with her wavy blonde hair cascading over her shoulders. Her icy blue eyes hardened immediately.“What do you want, Steven?” Anne said coldly, stepping between h

    Simon dragged Marcus outside, the rain soaking both of them. Michael’s men stood watch, their eyes scanning for any signs of retaliation.“The Broker,” Simon said, his voice dripping with disdain. “Who does he work for?”Marcus shook his head frantically. “I don’t know! I swear! He’s just a middleman! The money—”“Where did the money come from?” Simon interrupted.Marcus hesitated, fear flashing in his eyes. “Parker Holdings. I don’t know from whom exactly, but the funds came through that company. That’s all I know, I swear!”Simon released Marcus, letting him collapse onto the wet pavement.The streetlights above cast harsh shadows over Simon’s face, making him look every bit the predator he was in that moment.“You’re lying,” he said, his voice low but razor-sharp. “You’ve got more than that. Talk.”Marcus shook his head, his breath coming in ragged gasps. “I swear, man, I swear—”Simon crouched, grabbing Marcus by the front of his shirt and yanking him close, their faces inches apa

    Simon sat in the dimly lit diner, his foot tapping nervously beneath the table. The rain outside drummed against the windows, a steady, relentless rhythm. His fingers grazed the ceramic coffee cup in front of him. He didn’t need caffeine—his nerves were already shot.The door creaked open, and Adrien Pierce walked in, his trench coat dripping water onto the tiled floor. He scanned the room with a practiced eye before locking onto Simon and making his way over. The PI looked as if he hadn’t slept in days; his tie hung loose around his neck, and a thin layer of stubble darkened his jaw.“Pierce,” Simon greeted, his deep blue eyes narrowing. “You’ve got something?”Adrien nodded curtly, sliding into the booth across from Simon. “Yeah. It wasn’t easy, but I found a trail. You’re not going to like it.”Simon leaned forward. “Just tell me.”Adrien sighed, rubbing a hand down his face. “Robert’s killer was hired by someone close to the family. Very close.” He paused, letting the weight of hi

    Rose’s tears welled up, her trembling body a sharp contrast to the fierce woman Simon once knew. He couldn’t shake the memory of how they had once been close—how they had shared more than just whispered secrets, how he’d found himself drawn to her in ways that surprised and confused him.That night was vivid in his mind, the electricity between them undeniable. It was as if something had snapped, pulling them together in an unspoken understanding. They were both trapped in Anne’s orbit, both trying to claw their way out. But now, seeing her broken and bound, Simon felt something twist deep inside him—something close to guilt.“I need more than just pieces of this, Rose,” Simon urged, his voice softening but his eyes still sharp. “What did Anne do to Lisa? Why would she kill her? And why did she throw you in here?”Rose wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, her voice shaky but more controlled. “Lisa found out too much. She found out about Anne’s dealings with Steven. Anne is tied t

    The idea to fulfill her fantasies excited Simon more than he was willing to admit. Letting himself be carried away by the thrill of the moment, he stepped back and unzipped his pants. “Kneel,” he ordered.She obeyed, licking her lips and eyeing his cock. Remembering how she had admitted to fantasizing about being used, he decided to not hold back. He shoved his cock inside her mouth, relishing the way her teary eyes never left his.Holding her hair and steadying her head, he started pounding her mouth, fucking it as hard as he had fucked Mary the other day. There was an allure, a sense of satisfaction and power that came with having complete control over someone. Especially when that someone wanted to be controlled by him.He gave her the full experience she wanted, including being fucked from behind over the rails of the vantage point, her tits bouncing wildly above the courtyard. As she barely contained her gasps and moans to not alert the other guards who might have been patrolli

    The guard’s breath hitched as Simon’s words settled over her, the promise of something more than her monotonous life swirling in her mind. She looked at him, eyes flicking over his face, searching for any hint of insincerity but finding none. The desire, long buried under routine and apathy, flared in her eyes. Simon could see it now—she was close, teetering on the edge of her own unspoken desires.Her voice came out in a whisper, barely audible but heavy with longing. “There’s this place... above the walls, one of the lookout points.” She swallowed, as if the words themselves were forbidden. “I always thought about it—having a man take me there. The thrill of being above the entire prison, knowing someone could be watching... knowing we’re being seen, but no one able to stop us.”Simon’s smirk widened, his eyes gleaming with amusement and satisfaction. She had handed him everything he needed. The guard shifted under his gaze, clearly nervous but unable to stop the pull she felt towar
