Chapter 23: In the Lion’s Den-2

Beckett’s smile curled again, cruel and sharp, cutting her off mid-sentence.

“Three times? Three too many.” His voice was low, dripping with venom. “And what did you two do during those times, huh? Did he fuck you hard in the break room? Bend you over that luxurious desk? Or maybe… you rode him hard inside the conference room after hours?”

His eyes blazed with jealous fire.

“You don’t have to pretend anymore, Maya. None of it matters now. I’ll erase every trace of his touch from your body. And you’ll crave only mine.”

He threw back his head and let out a dark, chilling laugh.

“From now on… it’ll be just you and me,” Beckett murmured, voice thick with obsession. “We’ll start over. I don’t care if you’re not pure anymore… I still want you. Every inch of you-your body, your

soul. You’ll scream only my name.”

His eyes darkened with a dangerous hunger. “And when I’m done with you… when I’ve had enough… maybe I’ll send you back to Blackwood. Let him enjoy the leftovers.”

A cruel smirk twisted his lips. “Well… that is, if he even wants you back.”

The words hung in the stale air, a twisted promise and a threat wrapped in one.

Maya’s heart pounded fiercely against her ribs, a wild, chaotic rhythm of fear and revulsion. Panic clawed at her throat, tightening her chest like a vice. Every instinct screamed to run, to fight-to

scream until someone heard her.

But her body was frozen, trapped beneath his predatory gaze. The cold weight of his words seeped deep into her bones, threatening to suffocate the last spark of hope inside her.

He’s insane, she thought, twisting everything, trying to make me believe I’m already lost-already

his. But I’m not.

The tears stung at the edges of her eyes, but she blinked them back fiercely, refusing to give him

that victory.

Her voice was a trembling whisper, but filled with stubborn steel. “You’re wrong. You don’t own

1. Not now. Not ever.”

Beckett’s smile vanished, twisted into something violent, unhinged.

“No, Maya!” he snapped, voice cracking with fury. “You’re wrong! You’re mine-and you can’t do anything about it!”
