Chapter 1: The New Hire

Olivia Bennett was thrilled to start her new job at Sterling Enterprises, a prestigious firm with a reputation for excellence. Fresh out of college, she was eager to prove herself. But nothing could have prepared her for her boss, Alexander Sterling-a man whose presence commanded every room he entered.

Alexander was the epitome of power and control. Tall, dark, and impossibly handsome, he had a mysterious aura that intrigued and intimidated everyone around him. His eyes, a piercing shade of gray, seemed to see through everything and everyone, including Olivia. The moment she met him, she felt a spark of something she couldn't quite define-a mix of fear, curiosity, and undeniable attraction.

From the very beginning, Alexander was cold and distant, rarely offering more than a curt nod or a few clipped words. Olivia found herself working late hours, trying to meet his impossibly high standards. But despite his harsh demeanor, she couldn't help but feel drawn to him. There was something about the way he carried himself, the way he looked at her, that left her feeling unsettled and intrigued.

One night, as Olivia was finishing up some reports, Alexander appeared in her office. The tension in the air was palpable as he approached her desk, his gaze intense.

"You're still here," he remarked, his voice smooth yet commanding.

Olivia looked up, her heart pounding. "Just finishing some work, Mr. Sterling."

He stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. "You've been doing well, Olivia. But there's more to success here than just hard work."

Olivia swallowed, feeling a shiver run down her spine. His words were cryptic, and his tone suggested something more than just professional advice.

"I can really take care of myself, but thanks for stepping in and all that." I said in a meek voice as I looked up to see his bare chest was wet and glistening from the water that covered his body and dripped down to the top of his jeans that hung mouthwateringly low on his hips. I wanted nothing more than to reach out and touch his chest, to feel the firmness under my fingers. His intense green eyes pierced through mine as he took a step toward me, causing my back to press up against the wall behind me. He ran his tongue over his bottom lip and grabbed the back of my neck, wrapping his fingers in my freshly washed hair.

I felt as if someone had dropped a boulder on my fragile heart. He peppered kisses on her neck and she giggled in response. Right in front of my eyes. I clenched my fist. Their proximity suffocated me. I couldn't breathe. Jealousy and agony gave way to pure rage and without thinking, I jerked the woman out of his hold and pushed her away. "What the hell," she glared at me and I glared back at her before turning my gaze on Alex. "Who is she? And why is she here?" I asked him and could hear my voice shaking because of the enormous rage I was feeling in that moment. I wanted to kill him along with her. He scanned my expression for a moment and then flicked his gaze away as if I don't even exist. "Let's get you to my room," he was about to grab her hand when I grabbed his. I turned to face the woman and gave her a death glare, "Leave." "What," She flicked her gaze on Alex who looked as taken aback as her. I was overly tempted to pluck her eyes out for looking at him. "Eyes here. I am his wife and the lady of this house. And I want you gone. Leave," I gritted out. Completely forgotten that I was going to leave this house tonight. "Only in the paper. And I am the owner of this house," he hissed in my face in a warning tone and then looked at the woman. "Go to my room, Selena," he told her in a stern tone. He was annoyed not by her but by me. I could feel his temper rising, but it was nowhere near mine. My heart shattered in million pieces when he said that. A drop of tear rolled down my cheek as I saw the woman taking the stairs from my peripheral view. My eyes were fixed on Alex who had his jaw set and eyes glaring fire.

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*
