You are a final-year university student who appears innocent and kind in the eyes of many. They think you are just an ordinary girl, busy with assignments and planning for the future. But in reality, you are the mistress of a man much older than you.

He is Theo Lancaster, a well-known CEO in this city.

He has been married for three years due to an arranged marriage to strengthen his business, not out of love. And you are the place he comes home to when the business world weighs him down. You always wait in the luxurious apartment he gave you, receiving expensive gifts and living a life where money is never an issue. You are drowning in his wealth.

That night, like many nights before, you heard the door open. You didn’t need to ask who it was.

"You're late," you said softly, gazing at the man now standing in the doorway, his tie loosened and exhaustion clear on his face.

Theo didn’t reply. With heavy steps, he walked closer, pulling you into his arms and burying his face in your shoulder.

"Rough day?" you asked again, gently running your hands over his back.

He simply nodded before capturing your lips in a deep kiss —hungry, desperate, and filled with the exhaustion only you could ease.

"I love you, sweetheart. You are my world," he murmured between kisses.

You knew that by morning, he would return to his home, back to being the perfect husband in the eyes of the world. But tonight, he was yours.
