mabooz

Lucas Reed is a sharp, ambitious man working his way up in a high-stakes corporate world under the shadow of his powerful boss, Adrian Vasquez—a man who controls empires and crushes those who dare to betray him. Lucas has kept his head down, played by the rules, and earned Vasquez’s trust.

But then Elena Vasquez steps into his life.

Seductive. Unpredictable. Dangerous.

One late night, she shows up at his door, wrapped in silk and smelling of jasmine, whispering things that shouldn’t be said. Lucas knows this is a game, but who is playing who? Is she truly unsatisfied in her marriage, looking for an escape? Or is she testing him—a pawn in her own rebellion?

As their encounters grow bolder, Lucas finds himself trapped between his growing obsession with her and the looming threat of Vasquez finding out. The deeper he falls, the more he realizes:

This isn’t just an affair. It’s a war.

A war where love, lust, and betrayal will decide who survives—and who gets burned.

My Boss’s Wife Wants More

I wake to a hazy dawn filtering through the flimsy motel curtains. My head throbs with a mix of adrenaline crash and guilt. Elena is curled against me under the threadbare sheets, her face turned away. For a moment, I wonder if she regrets everything.

She stirs, eyes fluttering open. We exchange a tense, loaded glance. Neither of us speaks. We both know there's no undoing what happened last night—we've crossed the boundary we'd skirted for so long.

Eventually, Elena sits up, pulling the sheet around her. "We need to talk," she says, voice still husky with sleep.

My stomach clenches. "About running?"

She nods, gaze drifting toward the stained carpet. "I don't know how or when, but… I can't let him drag me overseas. I can't stay in that cage." Her voice trembles. "And now… after this, it feels even more impossible to pretend at home."

My heart pounds. This is more real than ever. But do I have the courage to join her? The question hangs between us like a guillotine waiting to fall.
