You Always Find Me. Chapter 33 - the FINAL chapter of Brutal Seduction is here now: https://www.wattpad.com/1548860779-brutal-seduction-the-steamy-billionaire-series This concludes the trilogy. Thank you for reading the Steamy Billionaire Series, from Damian's Seduction to Chloe's Seduction and Brutal Seduction. ❤️
After rewrites and more revisions, I am now happy with the draft ending (final chapter) of Brutal Seduction. There will be no epilogue, none needed as this chapter completes the series. It's late, 1 am, so I'm going to bed. Tomorrow evening, I should have a refined chapter ready to release. ✍️
Hi, it's been a slow week with writing the ending of Brutal Seduction due to different factors. Rewriting scenes, interruptions, and overtime work. Then, losing a family friend to cancer.
So, no. not a good week. :( Please value the people you love. They are precious.
When I have some breathing space, I'll be in my writing corner finishing the story.
Here's a Wattpad success story about a novella I wrote on the platform a few years ago - Elizabeth (prequel to the Starling Sisters series). The draft started here, then was taken down and edited several times. Submitted the polished manuscript to a western book publisher, which was accepted. Published months later, then entered in a global book awards. Won Distinguished Judges' Favorite (not first place, but runner up :) ) in the awards. A year and a half later, I was invited to the awards dinner as a past winner, and to receive my medal. Due to health reasons, I wasn't able to travel, but they were kind to mail it to me - received yesterday. ♥️♥️✨✨
Dreams do come true on Wattpad. If you are a writer and feel like giving up, you WILL have a success story of your own one day. Do not give up! ♥️

Billionaire's Royal Flush. ♠️♥️♦️♣️ Chapter 32 of Brutal Seduction: https://www.wattpad.com/1547996942-brutal-seduction-the-steamy-billionaire-series Excerpt: Damian locked eyes with Chloe, every word barbed. "This wasn't about money. Mike crossed a line—he bled family." Chloe's breath hitched, the question burning in her mouth. "Your mother's death. Was it Alistair?" His face went still, tension brimming under his cool. "Angelo's crew. An inside job." "But your dad?" Chloe reached up, forcing his jaw toward her. "Did he sign off?" Damian stared at her. He said nothing. Billy's phone beeped, breaking the tense quiet. He checked it and frowned. "Jason just sent a message to what's left of Mike's people." He held out the screen: You cross blood, you bleed. The Chinese remember. Family always answers. Damian's lips quirked. "Good. Forward it to me."
Revenge is a Love Story. ❤️☠️️ Chapter 31 of Brutal Seduction is now out: https://www.wattpad.com/1545324115-brutal-seduction-the-steamy-billionaire-series Excerpt: Damian groaned, pain marring his beautiful features. His good eye barely opened, dulled by exhaustion. "Chloe Carter," he rasped. "Don't look at me like that. You'll make me think I'm the hero." She brushed her thumb across his battered knuckles. "Aren't you?" He tried to grin. "Thought you liked villains." Chloe managed a shaky smile. "Depends. You got anything left to steal?" His voice went rough, breaking on the syllables. "Front left pocket, Carter. Careful—might wake the snake." She reached, brushing denim, then cool metal. Her pulse stuttered. Two rings. Gold blazed in the thin ambulance light. Everything shrank to that flash. For the first time since the nightmare started, she felt steady. "You kept them?" Damian's smile was all pain and pride. "Needed the reminder. You're the only thing I want to come home to." Her hands shook as she slid the gold on his finger, then hers—love, skin, memory, promise. Tears came, silent and raw, as she kissed him. His thumb traced her ring. "Keep watching my back, Carter." She closed her fingers around his, her voice barely a whisper. "Only if you keep coming home to me." His lashes lowered, green fading into dark. Sleep yanked him under with a final, jagged breath. But his hand never let go.
He Went Biblical. ️❤️️Chapter 30 of Brutal Seduction: https://www.wattpad.com/1544634621-brutal-seduction-the-steamy-billionaire-series Excerpt: "Think I can get a souvenir shirt? 'Survived Paradise and All I Got Was This Scar.'" Damian laughed softly. "When I return to Lester Harbor, I'll say I wiped out on a jet ski. The police get the glory, Kasper vanishes like smoke." His smile faded. "And the ones in my mother's circle—the ones who know the truth? They'll scatter like rats off a sinking ship." His good eyelid sank halfway, heavy with sleep. Sweat slicked his temples, turning his hairline a shade darker. He looked like hell—beautiful, broken hell. Chloe leaned closer, brushing damp strands from Damian's forehead. "Don't pass out on me. I'm not done yelling at you for that mess back there." "The mess we made." Damian's lips curled into a ruined smile. "Morphine's kicking in. But if you climb on top..." His voice dropped, slurred but filthy. "I'll still **** you into next week." His fingers slid between hers, gripping her tightly. Rope-tight. Even half-conscious, he bound her to him like he always had. Chloe glanced at Astrid, who didn't notice. Her eyes stared at her phone, thumbs tapping the screen like she was defusing a bomb. "This thing with Mike—" Chloe began. Astrid's comm buzzed. She raised it, barking into it in Norwegian. Then froze. "Marino?" Her hand went to her forehead as her jaw tightened. She turned to Chloe and Damian. Didn't speak. Just stared, long enough to make Chloe's stomach drop.
An Empire Always Bleeds. Chapter 29 of Brutal Seduction: https://www.wattpad.com/1542705245-brutal-seduction-the-steamy-billionaire-series Excerpt: Mike placed a hand on his shoulder in a fatherly manner. "Saira tried her best for you. Take her place." Damian leaned in close. "I already have." Mike reached forward, pulling Damian into an embrace. "Welcome home." Too familiar. Too late. A sharp crack split the air like a judge's gavel slamming. The intimacy was shattered. One shot. One man. A groan followed—guttural, raw with pain.

Chapter 28 of Brutal Seduction's now out: https://www.wattpad.com/1541838139-brutal-seduction-the-steamy-billionaire-series
Excerpt:
"Hang in there, babe. It'll be over soon," he whispered, brushing a strand of hair from her face. He hated her glassy, sedated gaze—how it made her seem already half-gone.
Hated himself even more for what he was about to do to protect her. For the rest of her goddamn life. But it was the only way to keep her safe.
Love was messy.
And survival? Even messier.
He tightened his hold on the katana, swinging it high when Lucifer groaned, beginning to stir.

Chapter 27 of Brutal Seduction's out now: https://www.wattpad.com/1540073307-brutal-seduction-the-steamy-billionaire-series
Excerpt:
They crossed to the table of horrors together—his gait like a soldier heading to war, hers steadfast. She followed the man who had once made her ache with love, who now made her glow with power.
He pocketed the finger stock and a filled syringe before grasping a Japanese sword. He spun the blade effortlessly—a blur of sharp steel and cunning grace.
Chloe's eyes widened. "Where'd you learn to handle a sword like that?"
"Uncle Nick. He trained under a retired Yakuza turned weapons instructor."
Damian's lips curved into a subtle grin, the sword poised in his left hand. "He taught me to handle dangerous, beautiful things. To destroy my enemies. It's in the Quinn family bloodline."
His voice dropped, heavy with intent. "What you're about to see is the monster. You can turn away."
"No." She shook her head. "If you're going to hell, I'm coming with you."
He looked over to the kanabō, then at her. His gaze lingered—slow, intense, darkly reverent. Chloe understood.
She took hold of the spiked war club, feeling its fierce weight settle in her hands, wielding it like it had always belonged to her.
"In Japanese myth, the oni carried the kanabō," he said.
"The oni?" she asked.
"Demons disguised as men or women, strength beyond strength. Some brought ruin. Some brought fortune."
He paused, then spoke softly. "That's you."
