Velvet Sin
His Office, My Storm
[RAINCORP HQ – 49th Floor | Outside CEO Office | 10:47 AM]
Velvet (texting her best friend)
Lyra. If I die today, bury me in a black dress and blame my heels.
This office is ice cold. Like money, murder, and zero mercy.
I’m not a delicate girl.
I’m the kind who spills coffee on her own résumé,
walks in with red lipstick smudged,
and still gets the damn job.
Because I’m not here to be liked.
I’m here to be remembered.
But when he walked out of that glass door…
[kael enters. Black-on-black suit. No tie. Collar slightly open. A tattoo peeking from under it. Like a warning label.]
Oh.
So that’s what sin looks like in human form.
Not fair.
He’s tall. Sharp. Lean like a shadow.
Jawline carved by rage, cheekbones like they were born to bruise hearts.
His lips? A permanent frown. Like even happiness wouldn’t dare touch him.
Like he’s survived too much.
Felt... nothing, for far too long.
Author: [He glances at velvet She looks right back. Doesn’t blink.]
I don’t get flustered easily.
But something about him —
That quiet rage... that stillness...
It’s loud.
And yet... I don’t want to run.
I want to know him.
Even if I cut myself on his edges.
Author- [10 minutes later – in his office. Silence. He's reading her file. She's watching him.]
VELVET POV
He’s not just hot. He’s haunted.
Like a war that never ended.
Like a man who loved once… and bled for it.
[Her eyes fall on a small frame on his desk: a little boy. Bright smile. Big eyes. Looks like kael ]
Kael Marcellus
(without looking up)
Kael Marcellus
My son. He's five.
Don’t ask about his mother.
Velvet Elenor
(softly)I wasn’t going to.
Author : [He finally looks up. Eyes meet again. But this time… it's slower. He really sees her.]
She’s... chaos in heels.
Hair like fire. Mouth like sin.
Eyes that should’ve run the moment they met mine.
But she didn’t flinch.
And damn me — that makes her dangerous.
The Devil Drinks Black Coffee
The Devil Drinks Black Coffee
Author : [ RAINCORP HQ – kael’s Office | Next day Morning – 9:12 AM]
Update: I got the job.
And possibly sold my soul to a mafia prince with murder in his eyes.
He drinks coffee like its blood. Doesn’t blink. Doesn’t breathe.
He didn’t smile when he hired me.
Didn’t shake my hand.
Just slid a file across the table and said:
Kael Marcellus
This is hell. You still in?
I said yes.
Not because I’m brave.
Because I wanted to stay close.
To him.
To the fire behind his frost.
Author [Office Kitchenette | 10:02 AM]
[velvet bumps into kael Literally. Hot coffee. Spilled. Silence.]
(gasps, holding his shirt sleeve)
Velvet Elenor
Oh god—sorry—
*I backs up.*
Kael Marcellus
You bleed more confidence than most women I know. But touch my coffee again, and I’ll fire you.
Velvet Elenor
You fire people for clumsiness?
Velvet Elenor
*raising an eyebrow*
Kael Marcellus
*leans in slightly*
Kael Marcellus
No. For getting too close.
He’s close again.
Not touching — but invading.
His presence is heavy. Like smoke and secrets.
And I hate how my skin remembers the nearness
Author [Evening – Rooftop Parking | velvet’s POV]
[She finds kael alone. Leaning against his car. City lights behind him. Smoke curling from his cigarette like his thoughts.]
Velvet Elenor
You always look like you’re preparing for war* softly*
Kael Marcellus
(without turning)
Boz peace is a luxury men like me can’t afford.
Velvet Elenor
(after a pause)
What happened to you?
Kael Marcellus
(turns slowly, eyes unreadable)
I married peace once. And she died screaming.
And there it is.
The shrapnel inside him.
The reason he never lets anyone close.
The shadow in his son’s eyes.
He’s not just broken.
He’s gutted.
[kael walks closer. Stops just in front of her.]
Kael Marcellus
You’re going to regret working for me, miss velvet.
Kael Marcellus
(low, quiet)
Velvet Elenor
(barely a whisper)
Maybe.
But I don’t regret meeting you.

She Bleeds Fire, He Breathes Smoke
[RAINCORP HQ – 49th Floor | Day 6 on the Job | 2:13 PM]
(texting Lyra)
I swear if he looks at me one more time like he’s plotting both my murder and my undressing— I might combust.
Lyra this man is a funeral in Gucci
I came here for a job.
Not to fall for a man who walks like a storm in tailored silence.
Not to fall for eyes that strip my confidence down to its bones.
But here I am…
Spinning in his orbit.
And I think he knows it.
Author [kaek’s Office | velvet drops a file. He doesn’t flinch. She bends to pick it up.]
Don’t look at his hands.
Don’t look at his mouth.
Don’t imagine either on your skin—dammit, velvet
Kael Marcellus
(calmly)
You’re distracted.
Velvet Elenor
(without hesitation)
Velvet Elenor
I get like that when someone watches me breathe
He doesn’t smile. But his gaze lingers. Heavy. Like a crime scene you can’t look away from.
I walked into his world in chipped nail polish and confidence stitched from scars.
But Kael Marcellus makes me want to burn.
[Kael’s behind his desk — sleeves rolled, veins like art, gaze unreadable. Velvet hands him the updated files.]
Kael Marcellus
(quiet, cold)
You missed a number in the transaction line.
Don’t bring me mistakes. I already have too many of those in my past.
Lyra Vienne
(mock sweet)
Maybe I’ll start charging per correction then, boss.
You can afford me.
[He looks up. Long. Hard. Like he’s trying to figure out what the hell she is.]
Black hair always slightly messed like he’s fought something before breakfast. That cruel mouth. And his eyes?
Like a graveyard under storm light.
And yet I want to touch that frost and melt it. Just once.
[Knock at the door. Enter Dante Ruelle — Kael’s closest friend. Dark chocolate suit. Playboy smirk. Trouble incarnate.]
Dante Ruelle
Interrupting your brooding session, brother. Got drinks or damage planned tonight?
Dante Ruelle
[He pauses, spots Velvet. Raises an eyebrow. Slow smirk.]
Dante Ruelle
So this is the one with the smart mouth. I like her.
Dante Ruelle
Dante. Ruelle. Devil’s advocate and occasionally the devil himself. Miss
Velvet Elenor
(deadpan)
Velvet.
Dante Ruelle
Oh nice to meet you beautiful
Dante Ruelle
(Turns to Kael)
You didn’t answer. Are you coming tonight?
Kael Marcellus
Look at them — both at their boldest, sharpest.
Kael Marcellus
I'm busy, *I replied*
[Later that night — Velvet walks to the elevator. Alone. Then — a small voice.]
Elio Kael
Are you my dad’s new boss? You're so daring to my dad.. No one before
Lyra Vienne
(laughs)
Definitely not. Just the one who argues with him the most.
[She kneels. He’s adorable — Kael’s curls, but a smile like sunbeams.]
Elio Kael
he doesn’t smile much.
A kid like that deserves light.
And Kael? He’s drowning in shadows.
Maybe I wasn’t sent here to save him.
Maybe I was sent here to burn with him.
