Blurb: She was supposed to be a passing distraction-a young college girl with too much curiosity and a dangerous innocence that made her irresistible. But when Alina stumbles upon a side of billionaire Damon Cross that no one is supposed to see, walking away is no longer an option. Damon has spent years hiding his secrets behind wealth and power. By day, he's a ruthless businessman. By night, he controls a dangerous empire in the shadows. He doesn't love. He doesn't do attachments. But Alina? She's under his skin. The deeper she falls for him, the darker his world becomes. And when enemies come knocking, she realizes one thing-Damon Cross was never just a man to love. He was an obsession waiting to ruin her.

Chapter 1 A Dangerous Encounter

The club pulsed with music, a rhythmic beat that vibrated through the floor and sent waves of energy through the air. Alina Carter adjusted the strap of her dress, feeling slightly out of place in the sea of glittering bodies moving in sync under flashing neon lights.

She wasn't supposed to be here.

It was her best friend, Jenny, who had convinced her to come. "One night out won't kill you," she had said. "And besides, you need to live a little."

Alina wasn't the type to party at exclusive clubs in downtown Manhattan, let alone one as elite as "Vortex"-a place whispered about in hushed tones among the rich and powerful. It was the kind of place where secrets were kept, where the wealthy and dangerous rubbed shoulders under the guise of business and pleasure.

A shiver of unease crept up her spine. She scanned the room, searching for Jenny, who had disappeared the moment they stepped inside.

Typical.

Alina sighed and turned toward the bar, weaving through the crowd. The bartender, a middle-aged man with sharp eyes, gave her a once-over before smirking.

"What can I get you, sweetheart?"

"Just water, please."

He chuckled, shaking his head. "First time here?"

She hesitated. "Is it that obvious?"

"Most people don't come to "Vortex" for water."

Before she could respond, a sudden hush fell over a section of the club. It was subtle-just a shift in the energy-but noticeable. Conversations died down, and heads turned toward the entrance of a "VIP lounge" hidden behind dark glass walls.

Alina followed their gazes, and that was when she saw him.

"Damon Cross."

He entered like a storm, his presence suffocating. The air changed, thick with unspoken authority. He wasn't just another wealthy man-he was someone people feared. Someone who could silence a room with a single look.

Tall, broad-shouldered, and exuding a dangerous kind of power, he was the embodiment of control. His sharp jawline was dusted with the faintest hint of stubble, his icy-blue eyes scanning the club with detached calculation. He wore a tailored black suit, crisp and expensive, with the top button of his shirt undone-just enough to hint at the danger lurking beneath his refined exterior.

Alina had heard of him before. "Everyone had."

Damon Cross was a name whispered in the world of high finance and underground dealings-a billionaire who built an empire on calculated ruthlessness. Some called him a genius. Others called him a devil.

Alina? She had never cared to find out.

Until now.

She should have looked away. But she didn't.

And then it happened.

"He caught her staring."

Their eyes met, and for a split second, time slowed. His gaze was piercing, unreadable, like he was "studying her, stripping her bare without a single word."

Alina's breath hitched. She knew she should look away, break the connection before it turned into something dangerous. But she couldn't.

Damon's lips curved into the faintest smirk-something dark and knowing-before he turned away, disappearing behind the tinted doors of the VIP section.

Alina exhaled, pressing a hand against her chest. "What the hell just happened?"

She barely had time to process before a hand grabbed her wrist.

"There you are!" Jenny's voice was slurred, her eyes glassy from alcohol. "Come on, you have to meet someone!"

Before Alina could protest, she was being dragged across the club, her heels clicking against the polished floors. Jenny led her past the crowded dance floor, through a hidden corridor, and toward an entrance marked "VIP ONLY."

Alina stiffened. "Jenny, we can't go in there."

Jenny rolled her eyes. "Relax. My date is there. He's friends with the owner."

"The owner?"

Jenny grinned. "Some billionaire. Not sure of his name, but he's loaded."

A sinking feeling settled in Alina's stomach.

The bouncer at the entrance barely glanced at them before stepping aside. Inside, the atmosphere was entirely different-darker, quieter, more intense. The music was subdued, replaced with low conversations and the occasional clink of expensive glasses.

Alina's instincts screamed at her to leave.

And then, she saw him again.

Damon Cross sat in the center of the lounge, exuding quiet dominance. He leaned back in his chair, fingers resting against his whiskey glass, watching everything "without looking like he was watching at all."

Jenny didn't notice the tension in Alina's posture as she waved to a man sitting beside Damon. "There he is! Come on!"

Alina hesitated, but it was too late. Jenny was already walking over, leaving her with no choice but to follow.

Damon's eyes flickered to her, sharp and assessing. He said nothing, but the intensity of his gaze sent a shiver down her spine.

Jenny's date grinned. "This is your friend?"

Jenny giggled. "Yeah! Alina, meet Marcus."

Alina forced a polite smile, ignoring the way Damon's gaze "never left her."

Marcus gestured toward the empty seat beside him. "Sit."

Alina hesitated. "I should probably-"

"Sit."

The command didn't come from Marcus.

It came from "him."

Damon's voice was smooth, low, "dangerous."

A slow pulse of fear and curiosity thrummed through her. She wasn't sure why she obeyed, but she did.

The second she sat down, Damon leaned forward, his voice calm yet laced with something she couldn't define.

"You don't belong here."

Alina's stomach twisted. "Excuse me?"

His gaze darkened. "You heard me."

Her pulse quickened. She should have been offended, but there was something about the way he said it-like a warning, not an insult.

"I was just leaving," she murmured, standing.

Before she could take a step, "a hand grabbed her wrist."

Not Damon's.

Marcus.

Alina stiffened as his grip tightened. "Stay a while," Marcus murmured, his breath reeking of whiskey.

She yanked her arm, but he held firm. "Let go."

Marcus smirked. "Don't be like that."

The tension in the room "shifted."

One moment, Damon was relaxed, distant. The next, "he was a storm waiting to break."

His voice was lethal. "Let. Her. Go."

Marcus hesitated. For a second, it seemed like he would argue. But then Damon's "cold, merciless gaze" locked onto him, and whatever courage Marcus had vanished.

He released Alina immediately, muttering an apology.

Damon didn't acknowledge it. He was already looking at Alina again, his expression unreadable.

"Leave," he said softly.

This time, she listened.

Without another word, she turned and walked away, her heart hammering against her ribs.

She could still feel his eyes on her.

And for reasons she couldn't understand, "she knew this wasn't the last time she would see him."

She had just stepped into a world she wasn't meant to enter.

And Damon Cross?

"He wasn't going to let her walk away so easily."

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring.

But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything.

5.0

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.
