Kissed by Sin
chapter 1
I’ll change the picture later
The office sat on the top floor of a glass tower, high above the city where night never truly ended. The blinds were half-drawn, cutting the skyline into silver strips
Selene Varcrest leaned back in her chair, cigarette balanced between her fingers, smoke curling upward in slow waves.l Her expression was unreadable calm, cold, carved out of stone. She wasn’t just a CEO. She was the kind of woman who ruled like a quiet storm you only realized she’d destroyed you after the silence came
Across the desk, her personal assistant stood with a file in hand. Always the same black mask covering half his face, sharp suit, gloves. He was younger, slimmer, but his presence filled the room in a different way Calm. Steady. The one man who could stand in Selene’s silence without cracking

Schedule(he said softly, voice measured, smooth)

Selene Varcrest /FL
( tapped her ash into the tray, her eyes sharp and calculating barely flicked toward him) Anything I shouldn’t cancel?
His big, dark eyes lifted to hers They always looked too honest for this world
ERen /Fl PA
The meeting with the Tokyo branch. And… ( hesitated just slightly) your mother requested dinner.
Selene Varcrest /FL
(Humorless smirk touched her lips)My parents still play house don’t they?
ERen /Fl PA
He didn’t answer. He knew better
ERen /Fl PA
Instead, he laid the file on her desk. His hands were pale, slender, almost delicate. For a second, Selene’s eyes lingered there before returning to his mask
Selene Varcrest /FL
You’ve been with me for years( she said suddenly, voice low, probing) Since you were what ---- nineteen? Twenty?
Selene Varcrest /FL
You could’ve left You should’ve Yet here you are
ERen /Fl PA
( blinked once, calm, unshaken) And you? You could’ve burned the world by now Yet here you sit
For the first time that evening Selene’s lips curved not a smile, but something sharper Almost approval
They weren’t friends They weren’t family. But in the ruthless, suffocating empire she ruled, he was the only one who stood beside her without fear
chapter 3
The sound of papers flipping echoed in the office. Selene set her pen down, eyes narrowing at the endless contracts
Selene Varcrest /FL
Pointless ( muttered) Half of them are already dead men trying to sign deals
Her PA, standing beside her, gave a soft chuckle
ERen /Fl PA
That’s because you kill their competitors faster than they can keep up
Selene Varcrest /FL
(gaze snapped to him)You sound amused
ERen /Fl PA
I’m only stating facts (His tone didn’t rise didn’t fall Always calm as though nothing could rattle him)
Selene Varcrest /FL
( leaned back in her chair, studying him) Take the mask off
ERen /Fl PA
(froze for the first time)Here?
Selene Varcrest /FL
Here ( said firmly) Now
ERen /Fl PA
Slowly, he pulled the black mask down.l The dim light caught his round face, the soft curve of his lips too red, too unguarded. His big eyes blinked once, meeting hers without hesitation
Selene Varcrest /FL
// tilted her head// You don’t look like you belong in this world
ERen /Fl PA
I’ve been here long enough
