Niver walked away, her heart pounding in her chest and goosebumps on her body. She could back

How dare he hold her by the waist and get closer to her worse still, how dare her body react positively to his touch?

He had been nothing but rude and judgmental to her, but a part of her couldn’t stop thinking about how handsome he was and how strong his grip on her waist was

Strong enough to hold her down, but not strong enough to hurt her. She was sore he would be the same in bed.

“Stop it, Nivera,” she scolded herself

Tonight was about Nathaniel and getting her career back on track. She couldn’t allow herself to get distracted.

Taking a deep breath, she then made her way over to the VIP section where Nathaniel was

richest tightened with every step, both due to fear and the wave of disgust she had to swallow.

Nathaniel Blackwell. The man who had nearly ruined her life, and the man she was now forced to beg and seduce in a desperate bid to salvage her

career.

Her rising modeling career took a turn for the worse the moment she crossed paths with Nathaniel Blackwell, one of Hollywood’s most influential and dangerous men.

He had cornered her after a high–profile event in her changing room, and had tried to sleep with her.

She hadn’t thought twice before spraying him with pepper spray and knowing him between the legs before running off,

Since that night, Nathaniel had made it his mission to ruin her career. Doors that had once been open to her were now slammed shut.

Agencies, photographers, and brands suddenly stopped answering her calls. Her once–blooming modeling career started going down the drain in a matter of weeks.

Failure wasn’t an option for her, if she failed in her career, her life would become her father’s property once again, and that thought sent a shiver down her spine.

He was surrounded by a few other men who laughed too loudly and drank too much. Her skin crawled as his pale green eyes lit up when they mathers.

“Nivera,” the drawled, as he stretched out his hands towards her. His voice was sweet, his smile aflake as the charm he tried to exude. “I didn’t think you’d really show up.” He said.

She forced a coy smile as she took his hand. Bile traveled to her throat when he pulled her to sit beside him, as his eyes immediately moved to look at her

The bastard didn’t even try to hide the fact that he was staring.

“Nathaniel, I figured it was time to make amends. I’ve been thinking about how I overreacted before, and… well, I wanted to apologiae.” Her voice was smooth and seductive.

Nathaniel’s smirk widened, his gaze shamelesslyaking over her, “Overreacted? Is that what you call what you did?” He whispered in her ear, and she winced in pain when he dug his pals into her hand.

Her stomach twisted, but she maintained her facade, leaning in slightly. “I was emotional You know I was caught.” The words tasted bitter, but Nathaniel didn’t seem to notice or care.

His hand reached for her waist, and she fought the urge to recoil as he pulled her closer. “You’re lucky I’m a forgiving main. Another man would’ve

Forgiving man, her ass! The fool had destroyed her career,

“That’s why I came tonight. Td show you how sorry I am… and, maybe, to make it up to your

Her plan was simple pretend to apologize to Nathaniel, act like she was ready to give him what he wanted, and lure him into a hotel room.

Once they were alone, she would inject him with a mild sedative, strip him, and take compromising photos

With those in hand, she would finally have the leverage to make him leave her alone,

Hopefully

“Wonderful, let’s have some drinks!” Just at that moment, someone stepped forward and poured her adrink. It would be rude to refuse, and so she drank a bit of the alcohol

“Come on, Nivera, we both know you’re not shy when it comes to alcohol, Nathaniel squinted his eyes at her. “Come on, darling, drink upf

Even though he said it casually, she could hear the underlying order in his voice, and so she gulped down the entire contents.

Nathaniel’s eyes gleamed with delight as he poured her another glass. “I knew you’d see reason eventually. Once I’m done, should we got out of here? The suite upstairs is far more private.”

“That sounds perfect,” she murmured as she raised the glass to her lips.

But as she did, her body stiffened. She could feel it the unmistakable sensation of being watched. Hor skin prickled, and she dared to glance across the

e stood on the balcony overlooking the club, one hand gripping the railing, the other in his pocket.

His dark eyes were locked on her, his expression hard and unyielding, like a predator assessing its prey

Even from the distance, she could feel the intensity of his stare.

Why was he still watching her? She grumbled as she tried to ignore his stare, but his presence loomed over her

“is something wrong?” Nathaniel asked, his voice pulling her back to the moment.

She shook her head quickly, plastering on a smile. “Not at all Just… excited,” she lied, her fingers trailing down his arm

Nathaniel became distracted when a man said something, and she couldn’t resist another glance toward the balcony.

Alejandro was still there, his focus unwavering. His displeasure was etched into every line of his face, and he didn’t even try to hide it

Stop looking, she told herself, but she was unable to do so. It was as if those eyes of his were a portal to some kind of trance he was putting her in.

Kivera’s heart leaped when Alejandro broke his stare, all thanks to a guard walking up and whispering something in his ear.

Without another glance in her direction, he turned and strode toward the stairs, disappearing into the crowd.

Relief and something else something she couldn’t quite name–washed over her

The weight of his gaze was gone, but its impression lingered, as she could feel the way he was judging her for being with Nathaniel

The fact that she was acting all slutty only proved his point even though it wasn’t true, and she frowned as she felt suffocated, who was he is judge hat when he didn’t know the full story!!

She needed to clear her thoughts, or she would fail. “Nathaniel, I’ve got to use the restroom, I’ll be back,” she said as she stood up.

She gasped and bit her lips to stop herself from punching him when he slapped her ass.

“Hurry back up.
