Ethan was a self-made billionaire, a CEO of a large multinational corporation. He had worked hard to achieve success and was used to being in control of every facet of his life. He rarely had time for relationships, and considered himself a loner. But everything changed when Lily walked into his office for a job interview. She was young, beautiful, and ambitious–a perfect match for Ethan's exacting standards. But when she accepted the position, Ethan soon found himself feeling a strange possessiveness towards her, a feeling that he had never felt before.

But everything changed when Lily walked into his office for a job interview. She was young, beautiful, and ambitious–a perfect match for Ethan's exacting standards. But when she accepted the position, Ethan soon found himself feeling a strange possessiveness towards her, a feeling that he had never felt before.
Though Lily was technically his employee, she was also the only person who could make Ethan feel alive and wanted. She brought out the best in him, making him remember how good it felt to be excited about something, and to enjoy life.
"Good morning, Mr. Evans," Lily greeted nervously as she stepped into the luxurious office of billionaire CEO, Ethan Evans. Her cheeks flushed bright red as she tripped over her own feet, causing the stack of papers in her hands to scatter all over the floor.
Ethan chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling with amusement as he watched Lily scramble to pick up the papers. She was always so clumsy, but he found it endearing. "Good morning, Lily. Have you had your morning coffee yet?"
Lily nodded, trying to regain her composure. "Yes, Mr. Evans, I have."
"Please, call me Ethan," he said, flashing her a warm smile. "We've been working together for months now, you don't need to be so formal."
Lily's heart skipped a beat at his words, but she quickly brushed off any romantic thoughts. She was just a shy, funny secretary and he was a billionaire CEO. There was no way he could be interested in her.
As days turned into weeks, Lily couldn't help but notice the way Ethan's gaze lingered on her a little longer than necessary. His touches during meetings became more frequent, his hand brushing against hers as he handed her documents.
One evening, as the office emptied out, Lily found herself alone with Ethan. The tension between them was palpable. He walked over to her, his voice barely above a whisper. "Lily, I can't deny my attraction to you any longer."
Her heart raced in her chest as she stared into his deep blue eyes. "I-I feel the same way, Ethan."
He crashed his lips onto mine, he held the back of my head and the back of my waist as he pulled me close to his chest. I let out a moan from the kiss. I didn't know how to react. I knew I wanted this. I don't want it to stop.
"M-Mhmmm..."
"Shh..." He put his finger to my lips and kissed my neck, causing me to shiver. He started moving downward to my collarbone, kissing my neck.
Their first kiss was electrifying, sending shivers down Lily's spine. It was a passionate embrace that left them both wanting more. Their secret romance began to blossom behind closed doors.
As their relationship deepened, Ethan couldn't get enough of Lily. Her shy and funny nature captivated him. He loved the way she made him laugh, how she brought lightness into his busy life.
Even outside of the office, their connection grew stronger. They would steal secret glances at each other during social events and exchange playful texts late into the night. The passion between them was undeniable, and they longed to explore it further.
However, their romance was not without challenges. Lily's insecurities began to surface, questioning whether she was worthy of Ethan's love. But he reassured her at every turn, showering her with affection and reminding her that she was his everything.
Their affair remained a well-kept secret, known only to a few trusted colleagues. The thrill of their hidden encounters only added to the intensity of their love.
But as the days turned into weeks and then months, secrets became harder to keep. Rumors began to circulate, threatening to expose their passionate affair to the world.
