Will love conquer all, or will everything Elliot holds dear crumble before him?
The sun poured through the tiny window of the cabin, casting a golden glow across the room. The atmosphere was serene, the gentle breeze filtering through the crevices of the wooden walls. The rustling trees played a soft melody, adding to the peacefulness of the secluded hideaway. It was the kind of place no one would ever want to leave especially when wrapped in the arms of someone who made the rest of the world disappear.
Curled up in bed, sheets tangled around them, Elliot and Ava gazed into each other's eyes. His fingers ran through her hair before he pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead. Ava's delicate fingers traced gentle patterns across his back, her touch light as a whisper. He admired the constellation of freckles that adorned her skin, each tiny mark resembling a star. As if unable to resist, he pressed his lips against hers, savoring their warmth. The morning sunlight streaming through the window illuminated her blonde hair, making it appear almost golden.
"You are so, so beautiful," Elliot murmured, his voice filled with awe. "You're like a creature set apart from the rest of the world ,graceful, enchanting."
Ava smiled before pulling him in for a deep, passionate kiss. She loved him, and he loved her. As if reading her mind, he whispered, "I love you, Ava. So much. You make my world brighter. Just knowing I get to see you, even for a little while, gives me the strength to keep going."
"I love you too, Elliot," she whispered back, her voice filled with emotion.
His gaze darkened slightly. "I'm sorry it has to be like this."
"It's okay, baby," she reassured him, pulling him into a tight embrace.
Elliot held her closer, savoring the feel of her against him, as if trying to memorize every inch of her. He captured her lips once more, his strong yet gentle hands roaming over her body. The softest of moans filled the air as their bodies melted together in a slow, intimate rhythm. The sun continued its descent, casting a warm glow over them as they made love, wrapped in the safety of their secret world.

Goodbyes & Responsibilities
By the time Elliot was fully dressed, Ava was still asleep, her expression peaceful. He didn't want her to wake up before he left , not after what happened last time when she had cried for an hour, pleading with him to stay. He couldn't go through that again.
Carefully, he scribbled a note and placed it on the bedside table. Then, he leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead, brushing a strand of hair away from her face.
"I love you," he whispered, his heart heavy.
With one last glance at her sleeping form, he turned and walked out the door. Sliding into his car, he sighed deeply, knowing it would be a long time before he'd get to hold her like this again.
Booker & Sinclair Group
Elliot stepped out of his car and handed the keys to his chauffeur, who quickly drove it away to be parked. The towering high-rise of Booker & Sinclair Group loomed over him a symbol of power, wealth, and responsibility.
The moment he entered, his personal assistant, Blair, was already waiting for him.
"Good morning, Mr. Booker," she greeted.
"Hey, Blair," Elliot responded with a nod. "What do you have for me?"
"For starters, you have a meeting with the shareholders and board members," she said, flipping through her tablet. "Then you have a scheduled fitting for the dinner party at the Sinclair's tonight."
At the mention of the dinner, Elliot rolled his eyes.
Blair continued, undeterred. "Oh, and sir, your wife is in your office."
Elliot froze mid-step, his jaw tightening. "Why?"
"She said you missed dinner last night and didn't come home."
Elliot let out an irritated hiss under his breath. "Is that all, Blair?"
"Actually..." Blair hesitated. "Your father wants to see you. He said you've been avoiding his calls."
Elliot exhaled sharply as the elevator doors closed, dreading the confrontations that awaited him.
As the elevator ascended to the top floor , where his personal office was , his thoughts drifted to the weight of his inheritance. Booker & Sinclair Group was a multimillion-dollar company, renowned for its cutting-edge technology and futuristic innovations. He loved his work, but the sacrifices it demanded were suffocating him. And his father only made it worse. As the only heir, so much was expected of him especially after his mother's passing.
Sometimes, he wondered if it was all worth it.

Confrontation with Lucy
Stepping into his office, Elliot was met with the sight of Lucy , his wife. She sat perched on his desk, legs crossed, wearing a striking red dress with a dangerously high slit. The crimson fabric hugged her curves, her glossy Louboutin heels dangling from her feet. Her dark hair was perfectly styled, her lips painted a deep, seductive red.
She exuded confidence, every inch of her a picture of effortless seduction.
"You're here," he said flatly.
Lucy smirked, sliding off the desk. "Come on, darling. That's no way to greet your beautiful wife."
She sauntered toward him, stopping just inches away. Her perfume expensive and intoxicating wrapped around him like a spell. She draped her arms around his shoulders and leaned in, her lips parting slightly.
Elliot didn't hesitate. He shoved her away.
"You and I both know this marriage is a formality," he said coldly. "Don't act like there's anything real between us behind closed doors."
Lucy chuckled, unbothered. "Elliot, just because we're in a contract marriage doesn't mean we can't satisfy each other's needs."
Her voice was sultry, teasing. She leaned in again, her breath warm against his skin. Elliot clenched his fists.
He suddenly grabbed her neck, his grip firm but not painful, tilting her head back slightly. "Is this what you want?" he growled.
Lucy merely laughed, her eyes dark with amusement.
Realizing he was wasting his energy, Elliot released her. Lucy smirked, adjusting her dress as if nothing had happened.
"Don't forget about the dinner at my father's house tonight," she reminded him, picking up her bag. "Don't be late. And please, wear a more recent tuxedo. What you have on now is last season he notices those things."
With that, she strutted out of the office, leaving Elliot rubbing his temples, frustrated by the mess that was his reality.
Back at the Cabin
Ava stirred, reaching across the bed, only to find it empty. The moment she opened her eyes and saw the vacant space beside her, tears welled up. He was gone. Again.
With a heavy heart, she sat up, rubbing her eyes, and that's when she noticed the note on the bedside table.
"I'm sorry, my love. I wish I could stay longer , I really do , but I can't. Please forgive me for leaving like this. I just couldn't bear to see you cry. If I had my way, I'd stay in bed with you all day, every day, and never get tired of it. I promise it won't always be like this. I love you, Ava. My escape from reality."
A small smile broke through her sadness as she wiped away her tears. Clutching the note, she took a deep breath and got up to start her day.

Dinner at the Sinclairs
After half an hour of small talk and dining, Lucy suddenly tapped her glass with her fork.
"I have an announcement," she giggled. "Today, I found out that... we're expecting a baby!"
She squealed in delight.
Elliot, however, froze. He sat pale and speechless, his mind spiraling into chaos.
Lucy leaned in slightly, whispering just loud enough for him to hear "Jackpot."
"Ahh!" She was in a moaning mess. She did not want to feel anything for this man. She hated him. His hands began to move all over her body. She gasped when he pulled down the back chain of her dress. The chain stopped at her lower waist, so when he zipped it off, her upper back and waist were exposed. "D-Don't touch m-ummm!" His fingers rolled around her bare back, and she pressed her head against the pillow. His touches were giving her goosebumps all over her body. With a deep angry voice, he whispered in her ear, "I am going to make you forget his touches, kisses, and everything. Every time you touch another man, you will only think of me." - - - Ava Adler was a nerdy omega. People bullied her because they thought she was ugly and unattractive.

Charlee was left at the altar and became a laughingstock. She tried to keep her head high, but ultimately lost it when she received a sex tape of her fiance and her half-sister. Devastated, she ended up spending a wild night with a hot stranger. It was supposed to be one-time thing, but he kept popping up, helping her with projects and revenge, all while flirting with her constantly. Charlee soon realized that it was nice having him around, until her ex suddenly appeared at her door, begging for another chance. Her tycoon lover asked, “Who will you choose? Think carefully before you answer.”
"I'm going to tell you what I have in mind," he murmured. "First you're going to strip down until you're completely naked," he whispered against her ear. "Then I'm going to tie you up so you're completely powerless and subject to my every whim." "Mmm, sounds good so far," she murmured. "Then I'm going to insert a plug to prepare you for me. After that I'm going to spank that sweet ass of yours until it's rosy with my marks." She shivered uncontrollably, her mind exploding with the images he evoked. She let out a small whimper as he sucked the lobe of her ear into his mouth. God, she could cum with just his words. She was already aching with need. Her nipples tingled and hardened to painful points. Her clit pulsed and twitched between her legs until she clamped her thighs together to alleviate the burn. "And then I'm going to f**k your mouth. But I won't cum. Not yet. When I'm close, I'll flog you again until your ass is burning and you're on fire with the need for relief. And then I'm going to f**k that ass. I'm going to take you hard and rough, to the very limits of what you can withstand. I won't be gentle. Not tonight. I'm going to take you as roughly as you can stand. And then I'm going to cum all over your ass. Are you ready to be completely and utterly dominated?"
