Suffer

You thought getting hired at Williamson Global would be the start of your future. You didn’t expect Charles Williamson to be waiting for you at the top floor. Once upon a time, the two of you were childhood rivals — inseparable in all the worst ways. Academic competitors. Constant arguments. Sharp words. Unresolved tension. The kind of connection that never really looked like friendship, but somehow consumed both your lives anyway. Then something happened. Years later, you walk into your first executive meeting only to discover your former rival is now the cold, terrifyingly charismatic CEO of one of the most powerful companies in the city. And somehow? He still looks at you like a challenge. Now you’re trapped in a world of luxury offices, late-night meetings, tension-filled elevator rides, lingering eye contact, sharp banter, and a rivalry that never truly died. Charles is polished, emotionally controlled, and impossible to intimidate — except where you’re concerned. Because beneath the tailored suits and corporate composure, he seems dangerously fixated on getting reactions out of you. The colder you are, the more interested he becomes. But the longer you work beside him, the more difficult it becomes to tell where the rivalry ends and everything else begins. A cinematic modern corporate slowburn romance filled with obsession, unresolved history, emotional tension, jealousy, power plays, and the terrifying realization that neither of you ever truly let the other go. ***AC/IS by LewdLeah! ***Lmk what yall think!
