00:00The rain pounded against the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Black Tower like a relentless
00:04accusation, mirroring the storm raging in Emma's chest. She stood in the opulent lobby,
00:10her cheap umbrella dripping onto the marble floor, pooling around her scuffed heels.
00:16At twenty-four, she should have been out with friends, laughing over cheap wine,
00:20not begging for a job that could save her mother's life. But life didn't care about should-haves.
00:25Her mother's hospital bills were mounting, the eviction notice taped to her apartment door,
00:30a ticking bomb. One more rejection, and she'd be on the street.
00:35Emma smoothed her damp blouse, the fabric clinging uncomfortably to her skin.
00:40She wasn't experienced in the corporate world. Hell, she wasn't experienced in much of anything.
00:46Virgin in every sense, untouched by love, by success, by the kind of confidence that came
00:52from privilege. But she was desperate, and desperation made her bold. The ad for a personal
00:58secretary to Alexander Black, CEO of Black Enterprises, had promised a salary that could
01:03cover the treatments. She just had to nail the interview. The elevator doors slid open
01:09with a whisper, and she stepped inside, her heart hammering against her ribs like it wanted
01:14to escape. Floor fifty. The penthouse office. As the car ascended, she practiced her smile in the
01:21reflective walls, whispering to herself, You can do this. Be professional. Sophisticated. Lies,
01:29all of it. She'd never even been on a real date, let alone navigated the shark-infested waters of a
01:34billionaire's world. The doors opened to a sleek, minimalist space. Glass walls, chrome accents,
01:42and a view of the city that made her feel small. A stern receptionist eyed her.
01:47Name? Emma Hartley. For the secretary position. The woman nodded curtly. Mr. Black is expecting you.
01:53Through there. Emma's legs felt like jelly as she walked down the hall, past abstract art that probably
02:00cost more than her yearly rent. The door to his office loomed like a gateway to judgment.
02:05She knocked softly. Enter. His voice was deep, commanding, sending a shiver down her spine before
02:12she even saw him. She pushed the door open and stepped inside. Alexander Black stood by the window,
02:19his back to her, broad shoulders straining against a tailored suit that screamed power.
02:24At thirty-five, he was a legend in the business world, ruthless in boardrooms,
02:29enigmatic in the tabloids. Rumors swirled about his past. A fiancé who'd betrayed him,
02:36leaving him with a heart as cold as his steel-blue eyes. He turned and Emma's breath caught. Tall,
02:42over six feet, with dark hair tousled just enough to look effortlessly perfect. A jawline that could
02:47cut glass. And those eyes, piercing, assessing her in one sweep. You're late, he said, not bothering
02:55with pleasantries. His tone was clipped, like time was a commodity he owned. I'm sorry. Mr. Black.
03:02The rain. Sit. He gestured to the chair opposite his massive desk, piled with contracts and a laptop
03:09humming softly. She obeyed, perching on the edge, her hands clasped in her lap to hide their tremble.
03:15He sat, leaning back, steepling his fingers. Why should I hire you, Miss Hartley? Your resume is
03:23adequate. Community college degree. Part-time waitress gigs. Nothing screams executive secretary.
03:31Heat flushed her cheeks. I'm reliable, sir. Hardworking. I learn fast. And I need this job.
03:37Honesty slipped out before she could stop it. Desperation wasn't sophisticated. His eyebrow arched.
03:42Need? Everyone needs something. What makes your need special? She swallowed, her throat dry.
03:49My mother's sick. Cancer. The treatments are expensive and insurance won't cover everything.
03:55I'm about to lose my apartment. I won't let you down. I promise. He studied her, his expression
04:02unreadable. Seconds stretched into eternity. Then, unexpectedly, he leaned forward. Honesty. Rare
04:09in this building. He paused, his gaze lingering on her face, making her skin tingle. But I need more
04:16than a secretary, Miss Hartley. I need a wife. Emma blinked, sure she'd misheard. A what?
04:23A wife. Temporary. Contractual. He slid a folder across the desk. My grandfather's will stipulates
04:30that to inherit full control of black enterprises, I must be married by my thirty-sixth birthday.
04:35That's in six months. I've no interest in romance. Been there. Burned that bridge. But I need someone
04:42discreet, presentable, and willing to play the part for a year. In exchange. Salary triple what the ad
04:48promised. Your mother's bills paid in full. And a penthouse suite in my building. No eviction worries,
04:54her mind reeled. Marriage? To him? She was a virgin, for God's sake. Innocent as a lamb in a den of wolves.
05:00But the offer? It was a lifeline. Why me? You could have anyone. Because you're desperate
05:07enough not to complicate things with emotions. And you're... unassuming. No scandals in your
05:14background. His eyes flicked over her again. This time with a hint of something warmer.
05:20Interest? No, couldn't be. She opened the folder, scanning the contract. Clauses about public
05:25appearances. Separate bedrooms. No intimacy required. But the fine print blurred as panic
05:31set in. What if he expected more? What if he discovered her secret? This is insane. I can't...
05:37You can. And you will, if you want to save your mother. His voice softened, just a fraction.
05:43I'm not a monster, Emma. This is business. The use of her first name sent a jolt through her.
05:48Up close, he smelled of expensive cologne. Sandalwood and spice. Their hands brushed as
05:54she closed the folder. And electricity sparked. She jerked back. But not before seeing his eyes
06:00darken. Sorry. She murmured, her cheeks burning. He didn't move. His gaze locked on hers. Tension
06:09crackled in the air, thick and unspoken. For a moment she saw beyond the cold facade. A flicker
06:15of loneliness, perhaps. Or was she imagining it? What do you want from this? She asked. Her voice
06:21steadier than she felt. Stakes. She needed to know his. Control of my company. Freedom from meddling
06:29board members who think I'm unstable without a stable home life. He stood, pacing to the window.
06:36My ex? She left me for my best friend. Took half my trust in people with her. I don't do
06:41vulnerability anymore. Her heart ached at that. Vulnerability was all she had. And if I say
06:47yes? You start tomorrow. As my secretary by day, fiancé by night. Wedding in a month, small,
06:54efficient, fiancé. The word tasted foreign. But her mother's pale face flashed in her mind.
06:59The beeping machines. The mounting debt. She had no choice.
07:03Okay, I agree. He turned, surprise flashing across his features before the mask returned.
07:09Good. Welcome to my world, Emma. As she left his office, her knees weak, she wondered if she'd just
07:16sold her soul. But that accidental touch lingered, a promise of fire she wasn't ready for.
07:23The next morning, Emma arrived at Black Tower early, her new keycard buzzing her into the
07:28executive floor. Alexander, Mr. Black, she corrected herself, was already there, barking orders into his
07:35phone. He hung up when he saw her. Your prompt. Good. He handed her a tablet. Schedule my meetings.
07:44Handle correspondence. And this. He placed a velvet box on the desk. She opened it, gasping at the
07:52diamond ring inside. Massive. Sparkling like captured starlight. For the engagement announcement?
07:59Put it on. His voice was gruff. But he watched intently as she slid it onto her finger.
08:06It fit perfectly. How had he known her size? Their fingers brushed again. Deliberate this time.
08:12Heat pooled in her stomach. Unfamiliar and terrifying. She met his eyes and for a split second,
08:17the air thickened. His hand lingered, thumb grazing her knuckle.
08:21It suits you, he said softly. She pulled away, flustered. Thank you. I think, he cleared his
08:28throat. We have a gala tonight. Black tie. Be ready at seven. The day blurred into a whirlwind of
08:35emails, coffee runs, and glimpsing his world. He was demanding, but fair, praising a well-organized
08:41report, noticing when she skipped lunch and ordering food without a word. Kindness, hidden under layers
08:48of ice. By evening, she was exhausted but buzzing. A dress arrived. Emerald silk. Hugging her curves in
08:55ways her thrift store finds never did. When Alexander knocked on her new penthouse door, he'd had her
09:02things moved in already, she opened it, heart racing. He froze, his eyes raking over her.
09:09You clean up well, Emma, she blushed. It's the dress. No, it's you. His words hung heavy, charged.
09:18The gala was a sea of champagne and schmoozing. Alexander's arm around her waist felt possessive,
09:24sending shivers through her. Smile, he murmured, his breath warm on her ear. They're watching. Who?
09:31Investors, she supposed. But his touch lingered, fingers splaying on her hip. Accidental? No,
09:37deliberate. Tension coiled in her core. During a quiet moment on the balcony, away from the crowd,
09:43he turned to her. Why no boyfriend? You're attractive, she laughed nervously. Too busy.
09:51And guys like simple. I'm not experienced in fancy things. His gaze intensified.
09:56Experienced? She cursed inwardly. You know, gala's luxury. That stuff. He stepped closer. The city
10:03lights reflecting in his eyes. What about other things? Her breath hitched. Proximity forced her
10:09to tilt her head up, their bodies inches apart. His hand cupped her chin gently, thumb brushing her lip.
10:16Emma. A waiter interrupted, calling for a toast. Alexander pulled back, jaw-tight.
10:21Back inside. But in that moment she saw it. Interest, raw and unexpected. Fear warred with
10:28attraction in her chest. He wanted her. But she was a virgin, out of her depth. Still, as they re-entered
10:35the glittering room, his hand on her lower back, she felt a spark of strength. She could do this.
10:43For her mother. For herself. Little did she know the arrangement was already cracking.
10:47Feeling seeping through like rain through a faulty roof. That night, in her lavish new bedroom,
10:55separate from his, as promised, she twisted the ring on her finger. Stakes were high. Her mother's
11:01life. Her home. He wanted control. But she sensed he needed more. Healing, perhaps. And her?
11:08She wanted survival. But his touches hinted at desire she'd never known.
11:19As sleep claimed her, she dreamed of his eyes, his hands. Tomorrow, the real proximity began.
11:26Living under his roof, working by his side. God help her.
11:30The following weeks flew by in a haze of board meetings and late-night strategy sessions.
11:36Alexander's penthouse was a fortress of glass and steel, overlooking the city like a king
11:41surveying his kingdom. He gave her a tour on day one. The infinity pool, the home gym,
11:47the library stocked with first editions. Intimidating, yes, but also lonely. Echoing halls,
11:53no personal photos, just art and artifacts. Rules, he said over dinner that first night.
12:01A spread of gourmet food delivered hot. Professional boundaries, no crossing lines.
12:06This is temporary. She nodded. But her eyes caught on his forearms.
12:11Sleeves rolled up. Veins prominent. Understood. Yet boundaries blurred. He'd notice her nervous
12:17habit of twisting her hair, gently untangling it once during a tense call.
12:21Relax, he'd say, his voice a low rumble. She saw glimpses of his kindness. Tipping staff
12:29generously. Donating to charities anonymously. One evening, she overheard him on the phone with
12:35a children's hospital. Funding a wing in memory of his late sister. A trauma he'd mentioned in
12:40passing. His voice cracking just once. Her attraction grew. A slow burn. Fear, too. Of revealing
12:48her innocence. Of falling for a man who claimed he didn't do emotions. Then came the inciting
12:53push. A business rival threatened a takeover. Using Alexander's playboy image against him.
13:00We need to accelerate, he said one stormy night, rain lashing the windows. Wedding next week.
13:06Public announcement tomorrow. Her stomach dropped. So soon?
13:09Yes. He poured whiskey, offering her a glass. Their fingers touched again. This time he didn't
13:16pull away. Scared. A little, she admitted. Honest always. He set the glass down, stepping close.
13:23The fireplace crackled, casting shadows. You shouldn't be. I'll take care of you.
13:29His words wrapped around her like a promise. She looked up, their breaths mingling.
13:33A traction sparked, hot and undeniable. His hand slid to her waist, pulling her flush against
13:39him. Heat exploded in her veins. Alexander, she whispered. Alex, he corrected, voice husky.
13:48His lips hovered over hers. Thunder boomed. But it was the phone ringing that shattered the
13:53moment. He cursed, answering. Business. She retreated to her room, heart pounding. She
14:00wanted him, God, did she. But the virgin secret loomed. Still, she'd agreed. The wedding
14:05was set. Stakes raised. Her heart on the line now, too.
14:10As she drifted to sleep, his unexpected kindness replayed. The way he'd paid her mother's bill
14:16that morning without fanfare. Vulnerability beneath the armor. Chemistry that terrified and
14:21thrilled. Tomorrow, the world would know she was his. But did he suspect how deeply that terrified
14:27her innocent soul?
14:30The wedding was a blur of white orchids and flashing cameras, held in a private rooftop
14:35garden atop Black Tower. Emma stood before a small gathering of Alexander's business associates.
14:41No family on either side. A stark reminder of their fractured pasts. Her gown, chosen by
14:47his stylist, was elegant lace that whispered against her skin. But it felt like armor.
14:52I do, she said, her voice steady despite the storm inside. Alexander's eyes met hers, intense and
15:01unreadable, as he slipped the platinum band onto her finger. His touch lingered, a spark that made her
15:07pulse race. The kiss at the altar was chaste, obligatory. A brush of lips that promised nothing.
15:13But in that moment, with the city sprawling below, she felt the weight of their deal shift. This wasn't
15:19just business anymore. That night they returned to his penthouse. Now their penthouse. He'd insisted on
15:26carrying her over the threshold, a tradition he dismissed as for appearances. But his arms around
15:32her were strong, his scent enveloping her like a drug. Welcome home, Mrs. Black, he murmured, setting her
15:39down in the foyer. The words sent a thrill through her, terrifying and exhilarating. Home. She'd never
15:49had one that felt safe. He gave her the full tour, then. His voice clipped as he led her through rooms
15:55she'd only glimpsed before. The master suite was his domain. King-sized bed with Egyptian cotton sheets,
16:01a balcony overlooking the glittering skyline. Her room adjoined it, connected by a shared bathroom
16:08that screamed intimacy. Boundaries, he said firmly, stopping at the door. We sleep separately.
16:14No wandering. Public affection only when necessary. This is a contract, Emma. Nothing more. She nodded,
16:21her throat tight. I understand. But did she? The way his eyes flicked to her lips said otherwise.
16:26The rules were clear, but daily life blurred them. As his secretary, she shadowed him,
16:34organizing his calendar, fetching coffee, sitting in on meetings where his commanding presence
16:39dominated the room. He was a force, negotiating deals with a steely gaze, his voice a low growl
16:46that made board members squirm. Yet he noticed things about her. One morning, after she'd skipped
16:52breakfast again, a tray appeared on her desk. Avocado toast with extra lemon, her favorite
16:58from the diner days. Eat, he ordered, not looking up from his screen. Can't have you fainting in a
17:04meeting. How did you know? She asked, surprised. I pay attention. His tone was casual, but his eyes
17:12softened. She saw his kindness in flashes. To the staff, he was generous. Bonuses for overtime,
17:19remembering birthdays. One afternoon, she caught him in the lobby, crouching to tie a shoelace for
17:26the janitor's young son who'd wandered in. The boy beamed, and Alexander ruffled his hair with a rare
17:31smile. Kids deserve better than we got, he said later, when she mentioned it. His voice held a
17:38shadow, hinting at the trauma he'd barely shared. Jealousy hit unexpectedly at a corporate dinner.
17:44Victoria Lang, his ex-assistant turned rival executive, sauntered over, her red dress clinging
17:51like a second skin. Alex, darling, she purred, laying a hand on his arm. Congrats on the whirlwind
17:57marriage. Though I must say, she's a bit fresh-faced for you, Emma's stomach twisted. Victoria was
18:04everything she wasn't. Experienced, sophisticated, with a predatory smile. Alexander's jaw tightened.
18:11Emma's perfect, he said coolly, his hand finding Emma's under the table, squeezing.
18:18But the touch lingered, his thumb stroking her palm in slow circles.
18:23Accidental? No. Tension built, heat pooling in her core as their thighs brushed in the crowded booth.
18:30Physical proximity was unavoidable. Shared spaces. The kitchen at dawn, where he'd brew coffee shirtless,
18:37muscles rippling under tanned skin. The home office late at night. Papers scattered,
18:44their chairs inching closer. When evening, during a thunderstorm, the power flickered.
18:48Candles lit the living room, casting golden glows. Rain hammered the windows as they reviewed
18:53contracts by the fireplace. You're twisting your hair again, he noted, reaching out to still her hand.
19:00His fingers intertwined with hers briefly, sending jolts up her arm.
19:03Nervous habit, she admitted, her voice breathy. Why nervous? He leaned in, the fire reflecting in his
19:11eyes. Because… this. She gestured between them. It's more than a deal, isn't it? He paused,
19:19vulnerability cracking his mask. Maybe. Then quieter. My fiancé, ex-fiancé, betrayed me. With my brother.
19:27They ran off with company secrets. I lost more than trust. I lost family. Her heart ached. She
19:34scooted closer on the couch, her hand on his knee. I'm sorry, Alex. That sounds devastating.
19:40He looked at her. Really looked. As if seeing her for the first time. You're different. Kind. Real.
19:47His hand cupped her cheek, thumb tracing her jaw. The air thickened, charged. He leaned in,
19:54lips hovering over hers. Her breath hitched, anticipation coiling tight. A clap of thunder
20:00shook the building, and the power surged back on, lights blinding. He pulled away, cursing under his
20:07breath. Interrupted. Story of my life. She touched her lips, aching for what almost was. Confusion
20:14swirled. Did he want her? Hurt followed. He retreated to his room without another word. Days blurred into
20:21heated glances and accidental touches. A brush of hands over breakfast. His body pressing close in
20:27the elevator. Chemistry simmered, undeniable. Then the external threat arrived. Paparazzi. Photos leaked.
20:36Emma at the hospital visiting her mother. Headlines screaming billionaires' bride hiding secrets.
20:42Debt collectors from her past called, emboldened by the publicity.
20:45Alex went caveman. No one touches what's mine, he growled. Hiring security. Paying off the debts
20:53without asking. You're safe now. His protectiveness ignited something in her. Watching him pace the
20:59penthouse, phone to ear, barking orders. She realized she was falling. Hard. But the internal struggle
21:06gnawed. I can't tell him I'm a virgin. He'll think I'm too innocent. Too fragile for his world.
21:12To ease the tension, he made a gesture. A weekend trip to his private ranch outside the city.
21:20Fresh air, he said. No cameras. The ranch was sprawling. Rolling hills, stables, a cozy cabin
21:27that felt worlds away from the penthouse. No tour needed. It was intimate, personal. He showed her the
21:33horses, his hand on her waist as he helped her mount one. Easy, he murmured, his breath on her neck.
21:39Jealousy flared again when a neighbor, a glamorous widow, dropped by with welcome pie, flirting
21:45shamelessly. Alex, you devil, married already? She touched his arm, laughing. Emma's chest tightened.
21:53Later, by the fire pit under stars, she snapped. Does every woman throw herself at you? He chuckled.
21:59Jealous wife? Maybe. Defiance rose. What if I am? His eyes darkened. Good. He pulled her into his lap,
22:07the argument heeding. I don't do relationships, Emma. This is not just a contract to me anymore.
22:13She burst out. I feel things. For you? Silence. Then his hands framed her face.
22:20Damn it. He kissed her. Finally. Fully. It was intense. Consuming. His lips claimed hers. Firm yet
22:30tender. Tasting of whiskey and want. She gasped, and he deepened it, tongue tracing her seam until she
22:36parted, melting into him. Sensations overwhelmed. His hands sliding down her back, pulling her flush.
22:43Heat building where their bodies met. Her fingers tangling in his hair, pulling him closer. She
22:48responded instinctively, arching into him, a moan escaping as his teeth grazed her lip.
22:54He groaned, breaking away. This wasn't part of the deal.
22:57Conflict etched his face. Desire warring with fear. Hurt stabbed her. Then what was it? A mistake.
23:06He stood, retreating. Good night. Confusion and ache followed her to bed. But the kiss lingered.
23:12A peak of tension that left her wanting more. Despite fear, she decided she wanted him. All of him.
23:19Virgin or not, she'd give herself if he asked. The next day, danger forced them closer. A storm hit the
23:26ranch, flooding roads. Trapped, they huddled in the cabin, candlelight flickering. We're stuck, he said.
23:32But his eyes said otherwise. She touched his arm. Good. Tension peaked again. Shared blanket, bodies
23:39close. His hand on her thigh, accidental at first, then deliberate. Emma? A call interrupted. Business
23:46rival. The same one threatening takeover, now leaking more scandals. Alex's face hardened. I'll handle it.
23:54But she saw his fear. Let me help. He pulled her close. You already are.
24:00Protective. He held her through the night. No more kisses, but promises unspoken.
24:07Back in the city, the argument erupted. Media swarmed the penthouse.
24:13This is why I don't do feelings, he shouted. It complicates everything.
24:18I'm not a complication, she yelled back. I'm your wife. He pinned her against the wall,
24:24breath ragged. Damn right you are. Sexual tension exploded, his body hard against hers,
24:32her hands clutching his shirt. She whispered, I want you, Alex. All of you.
24:38He froze, desire blazing. You don't know what you're asking, but she did. Despite the virgin
24:46secret, the fear, she was ready. The peak reached. She'd surrender. As the night deepened,
24:53rain pattering, she knocked on his door. Alex? He opened, shirtless, eyes stormy.
24:58What? I'm sure. She stepped inside, heart pounding. The decision made. Fear be damned.
25:04His bedroom door clicked shut behind me, sealing us in a world of shadows and flickering candlelight.
25:15The storm outside raged on, rain lashing the windows like it wanted to break through.
25:20But inside, the air was thick, electric, charged with everything we'd been denying.
25:26Alex stood there, shirtless, his chest rising and falling in ragged breaths,
25:31every muscle etched in the golden glow from the bedside lamps. His eyes? Those steel-blue storms
25:38locked on mine, dark with hunger and something deeper. Fear? No, tenderness. It cracked his
25:44guarded facade wide open. Emma, he rasped, his voice a dangerous whisper that sent heat pooling
25:52low in my stomach. You said you're sure. But are you? This? You?
25:57I stepped closer, my silk nightgown whispering against my thighs, heart hammering so hard I thought
26:04it might shatter my ribs. The virgin secret clawed at my throat, begging to spill out.
26:09Tell him now before it's too late. But the word stuck. Instead, I reached for him, my fingers trembling
26:16as they traced the hard planes of his chest. His skin burned under my touch, a low groan rumbling from
26:22him like thunder. I'm sure. I whispered, my voice gaining strength, defiant. I want you, Alex. All of
26:31you. No more deals. No more boundaries. His hands found my waist, gripping the silk, pulling me flush
26:38against him. The power imbalance hit me then, his towering frame, his billionaire world swallowing my
26:45simple one. But it didn't scare me anymore. It thrilled me. He was mine in this moment. God, Emma, he murmured,
26:53his lips brushing my forehead, then my temple. You're trembling. I'm not afraid of you, I said, tilting my chin
27:01up, honest and bold. Our eyes locked, and the world narrowed to just us. Slowly, so slowly it was torture, he
27:12undressed me. His fingers hooked the straps of my nightgown, sliding them down my shoulders with
27:18reverent care. The silk pulled at my feet, leaving me bare, vulnerable under his gaze. Cool air kissed
27:25my skin, raising goosebumps. But his hands followed, warm and possessive, tracing my collarbone, down to
27:33the swell of my breasts. Beautiful, he breathed, voice husky. So damn beautiful. Sensations overwhelmed
27:40me, his calloused thumbs circling my nipples until they peaked, hard and aching. His mouth following
27:46hot and wet, sucking gently until I gasped, arching into him. Heat coiled tight in my core, unfamiliar
27:52and insistent. My hands explored him too, fumbling with his belt, shoving his pants down. He kicked
27:58them away, and there we were. Naked, pressed together, his hard length branding my belly.
28:04He lifted me effortlessly, laying me on the massive bed, sheets cool against my heated skin.
28:13He hovered above, caging me in, his eyes searching. Tell me if it's too much, I nodded, pulling him
28:18down. Our lips met in a kiss that started soft, exploratory, then ignited, tongues dancing, teeth
28:26nipping, his hands everywhere. He kissed down my neck, my breasts, my stomach, worshipping every inch.
28:33When his mouth found the apex of my thighs, I cried out, fingers tangling in his hair.
28:38Oh God. Pleasure built like a wave, his tongue circling, teasing, until I shattered, my first
28:45orgasm ripping through me in blinding ecstasy. He rose, positioning himself between my legs,
28:51his tip nudging my entrance. Look at me, he commanded softly. Our eyes met. Then slowly he pushed
28:58in, pain flared, sharp, tearing. I gasped, nails digging into his shoulders. He froze, buried just
29:05an inch, his face contorting in shock. Warmth trickled between us, and his eyes widened, realization
29:12dawning. Emma Blood, you're a virgin? Tears pricked my eyes, vulnerability crashing over me.
29:19Yes, I confessed, voice breaking. I should have told you. I'm sorry. I thought you'd think I was
29:25too innocent, too. Not enough for you. He pulled out gently, shock melting into overwhelming
29:30tenderness. His hands framed my face, thumbs wiping my tears. Why didn't you tell me? His voice cracked,
29:37raw emotion spilling out. The guarded CEO gone, replaced by a man laid bare. God, Emma, you're
29:44everything. More than enough. I've waited my whole life for someone like you. Relief flooded me, mixing
29:51with the ache. I was scared. Never of me. He kissed me deeply, pouring promises into it.
29:57I'll be gentle, I promise. We'll go slow. Your pace. He started over, fingers first, sliding in,
30:06stretching me with care, his thumb circling my clit, until pleasure drowned the pain. Then,
30:12inch by inch, he entered again. This time it was different. Pressure built, then blossomed into
30:17fullness. Pleasure sparking with every careful thrust. Are you sure? He whispered, pausing.
30:23Yes, I moaned. I trust you. He moved then, slow and deep, our bodies sinking. Pain faded to pleasure,
30:31a sweet building fire. His hands gripped my hips, guiding. Mine clutched his back, urging.
30:37Sensations layered. The slide of skin. His grunts mingling with my whimpers. The scent of sweat and sex.
30:44You feel... Incredible, he groaned, eyes locked on mine. Connection deepened,
30:51souls intertwining as bodies did. The pace quickened, urgency taking over.
30:57I met his thrusts, hips rising, chasing the peak. Alex, please, come for me, love, he commanded,
31:04voice breaking. I did, exploding around him, waves crashing, crying his name. He followed,
31:10burying deep, spilling inside with a roar, his body shuddering. We collapsed, tangled,
31:18his weight a comforting blanket. Aftercare was pure magic. He held me close, kissing my forehead,
31:24my tears. You're perfect, he whispered, fetching a warm cloth to clean me gently.
31:30My brave girl. I love you, Emma. God, I love you. Tears of joy slipped free. I love you too.
31:37He pulled me into his arms, our hearts sinking. You've healed me, in ways I never thought possible.
31:46Morning light filtered through the curtains, painting us in gold. I woke to his kisses
31:51trailing down my arm, ultimate happiness blooming in my chest. No regrets, just us, naked, sated,
31:57real. He made love to me again, slow and sweet, confirming it wasn't a dream.
32:02Mine, he murmured between thrusts. Forever. But conflict crashed in like the receding storm.
32:09My phone buzzed. Victoria. A leaked audio. Alex's voice from months ago, cold and detached.
32:15Marriage is just a contract. No emotions. It was edited, twisted but damning. Headlines screamed,
32:22billionaire's sham wedding exposed. I overheard him on a call in the kitchen, voice strained.
32:27Damage control. Tell the board it's real. But the words twisted in my gut, sham. Misunderstanding
32:34hit like a knife. He doesn't love me. It was pity, because of last night. Heartbroken. Tears blurring.
32:40I grabbed my old suitcase, slipping out while he showered. I can't stay. I'm just the contract wife.
32:47I fled to my mom's hospital room, collapsing in sobs. He doesn't want me, mom. Not really.
32:52Hours later, airport bound for a one-way ticket home. Back to my tiny town, away from his world.
33:00He found me. Dramatic chaos. Security shoving paparazzi. Him striding through like a god,
33:07coat billowing. Emma! I froze at the gate, suitcase dropping. How? I tracked your phone.
33:15Tracked my heart. He dropped to one knee, uncaring of the crowd, pulling out a velvet box.
33:21Not the contract ring, but a new one. Emerald-cut diamond flanked by sapphires.
33:27I love you. This isn't a deal. It's forever. Tears streamed.
33:32The audio? You said a lie. From before you. Victoria's sabotage.
33:37He stood, cupping my face. Public declaration. I, Alexander Black,
33:42love Emma Hartley Black with everything I am. I don't care who knows. You've healed my scars.
33:48Given me home. Belonging. Class. Power. None of it matters. You're my strength. My vulnerability.
33:54My everything. Every fear crumbled. Innocence. Imbalance. Trust. You mean it? With my life.
34:03He addressed my insecurities. Your virginity? A gift I treasure. Your past struggles?
34:08They made you fierce. I need you, Emma. Marry me. For real. Laughter mixed with sobs.
34:13Yes. A thousand times yes. Our final kiss was fire. Passionate. Claiming. Cameras flashing
34:20around us. The crowd cheered. The world witnessed.
34:26Six months later. The real wedding was magical. A sun-drenched vineyard. White tents fluttering
34:33in the breeze. I wore ivory lace. Alex in a tailored tux. Eyes only for me. Vows poured
34:40from our hearts. You've shown me trust heals. He said. You've given me strength. I replied.
34:46As we danced under string lights. Full circle hit. His hand on my waist. Just like that galanite.
34:52But now no lies. Remember our first touch? He whispered. How could I forget? I smiled.
34:59Hand on the slight swell of my belly. Our secret. A pregnancy revealed just for us.
35:05You're mine. He said. Commanding yet vulnerable. And I'm yours. The reception ended with fireworks
35:13mirroring the sparks in our eyes. We slipped away to our honeymoon suite. Where he'd recreate
35:18last night's tenderness. Slow undressing. Sensory bliss. His whispers. I love you. My virgin bride.
35:26No more. One year later. Our penthouse nursery glowed with soft light. Our son. Little Alex
35:34Jr. Sleeping peacefully. Tiny fist curled. Alex wrapped arms around me from behind. Chin
35:41on my shoulder. Look what we made. Healing. Home. Love. I turned. Kissing him deeply. All
35:48because of one desperate interview. Themes wove through our life. Healing through love's embrace.
35:55Finding belonging in each other's arms. Trust blooming from vulnerability. My inner strength
36:01shining brighter beside his power. Class differences. Mere footnotes in our epic.
36:07As the city lights twinkled below. His hand splayed over my heart. I whispered. Forever. And in his
36:16eyes. I saw eternity.
