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 dawn, Elena checks her phone—a separate burner she's kept secret until now. I watch her send a brief text to someone labeled only as "R." She notices my puzzled look and sighs.

"A friend… well, maybe more an acquaintance from my old life," she admits, shifting awkwardly. "He once said he could help if I ever needed a fresh start. I never thought I'd actually need it."

Hope flickers in me. "Where is he?"

She shrugs. "He travels. Smuggles people across borders sometimes. If he responds, we might have a route out of the country."

It's a "WTF" revelation—she might have known a smuggler all along? But I hold my tongue. If he can help us vanish for good, I'll take it. We wait, tension mounting. The morning stretches, no reply. Outside, the diner remains closed, the old woman presumably sleeping in. Each passing hour feels like borrowed time.
