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

Two days before Vasquez's departure, Elena calls me in a panic, voice shaking. "He cornered me, said if I don't fly out with him, he'll freeze all my accounts and 'handle' any loose ends. He said it like a threat, Lucas."

My blood runs cold. We arrange a meeting at a long-closed diner on the outskirts, its parking lot empty. Under flickering fluorescent lights, she sits in her car, engine running. I slip into the passenger seat, adrenaline coursing.

"He's leaving in forty-eight hours," she says, eyes rimmed with tears. "If I don't show up at the airport, he'll know something's up. I'm terrified, Lucas. I don't want to be forced overseas, but I also don't want to vanish alone."

I reach for her hand, my chest tight. "We can't stay. He'll bury us. If you're serious about leaving him, then…" My heart pounds as I swallow the lump in my throat. "I'll come with you. We go off-grid. Tonight. Or tomorrow. Before he can stop us."

Her eyes widen, relief and fear swirling. "Are you sure?"

"No," I admit, shaking with dread. "But it's our only shot."
