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

At the office, the tension in my shoulders is so tight I can barely sit still. Every passing coworker feels like a threat. My phone buzzes—Adrian Vasquez calling. My pulse skyrockets.

He's blunt. "We need a progress report before I head to Singapore next week. Come to my office."

Next week. He's flying out sooner than planned. My palms sweat as I gather my files, mind spinning with "WTF" questions. Is Elena going with him already? Does he sense something?

When I enter Vasquez's office, he's reviewing spreadsheets, jaw set in impatience. He barely looks at me as I talk him through the data. I keep my voice steady, forcing calm. Inside, everything is on fire. If he discovered Elena's involvement with me, I'd be out of a job—or worse.

He ends the meeting abruptly. "Don't disappoint me," he snaps, flipping the file shut. I murmur a polite "Yes, sir" and back out, heart still pounding. The look in his eyes feels colder than usual; maybe I'm imagining it, but it leaves me shaking.
