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

Morning arrives. Ramirez announces plans to separate the convoy—some of his men want to divert to a different route. Zach and Marta intend to stick with us, but tensions flare over money. Elena stands firm, promising the rest of her payment once we reach a stable hideout.

Ramirez's men grumble about her partial funds. One tries to corner Elena, demanding more. I intervene, anger surging. The man shoves me, and we square off. My fists tighten, ready for a fight, but Ramirez steps in, threatening his own man. The power dynamic is precarious—loyalties are bought here, not earned.

Zach advises we slip away soon. "Ramirez is losing patience," he warns, voice low. "And he'll sell you out if a bigger offer lands on his table. Tread carefully."

Elena and I share a worried look. We can't trust these smugglers blindly. We pack up, hearts heavy with the knowledge that we're still not safe. The question burns: how much longer can we rely on borderline mercenaries?
