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

Inside, a dimly lit room reveals crates of contraband, half-burned maps, and a few mismatched chairs. The older man, introduced as Ramirez, sits behind a makeshift table.

Zach, Marta, Elena, and I stand before him like suspects on trial. He rubs his chin, eyeing us. "R said a woman in danger would come, possibly with a companion. Didn't mention you brought a small army."

"Just them," Elena says quietly, gesturing to Zach and Marta. "They're transporting us."

Ramirez looks from her to me, an odd gleam in his gaze. "You want crossing arrangements, I can help. But it'll cost. And if trouble follows, I'll charge extra."

Elena sets her jaw. "We'll handle it. We have some funds."

A hush falls, thick with unspoken tension. Ramirez's people watch from the corners, rifles casually slung, eyes cold. My stomach knots. This is an underworld deal, a labyrinth of bribes and shadows. One wrong move, and we're doomed.

Finally, Ramirez names a steep price. Elena doesn't flinch, though I see the flicker in her eyes—she can barely afford that. She nods. "Deal."

He smirks. "Fine. You stay here tonight. At dawn, we discuss the route. Any trouble, and we dump you."
