+ A/N: hi! I just wanted to share that I  don't have a consistent schedule when it comes to updates. Saying that life's kinda crazy right now is totally an understatement. I will do my best to give you a chapter at least once a week. Thank you so much for being here and for reading.

Also, this chapter is nsfw :)
*T/W: oral sex +

"It's so good to meet you, Luke." You shook his hand one last time giving him a cheerful smile. Only he didn't return the same energy.

"Likewise. Be sure to tell your father I say hello." He lets go and glances at Ben one last time before exiting the door.

Oh right. Your reason for wealth lingered behind you like a shadow.  No matter where you went it was always; "how's your father?" "What's your father up to these days?"  Even if your fame was stacked with scandals and public tantrums, it always went back to him.

Lots of businessmen actually preyed on you for information about the company. But your father made you untouchable. He always told you that you'd always be a threat and that was your highest advantage. People feared you because your family was capable of destruction.

It was most definitely the root of your trauma.

"I always seem to lose you to your thoughts." Ben interrupted and he quickly bent down to kiss your cheek. You looked at him and he looked down at you. A strand of hair blocked his vision and out of reflex, his hand swooped it back.

It was your favorite thing.

You smiled brightly at him. "Can I see the office?"

"Of course, but you cant judge, angel. I've only put a desk and a chair in there." He grabbed your hand and he led the way.

Ben's office wasn't an office. It was the size of a penthouse. Your business was an entire floor of the company itself, Ben had this all to himself.  A bit of jealously settled at the pit of your stomach. As you exit the private elevator doors. You had realized what he said was true- his only pieces of furniture were his desk and chair. The potential of it all was starting to give you goosebumps. It was like walking into his apartment for the first time.

His desk and chair was at the middle, in front of the glass window that overlooked the city. For some reason, Fifty Shades of Grey popped up in your head. But you quickly snapped out of it because you weren't going to go that route.

Unless?

Ben walked to the empty space. Large space for a large man. You could tell he was pondering about something too and he let out a laugh.

"I really don't need all of this. I would've been fine with just a cubicle." You watched him take a seat at his desk, his eyes still wandering around the empty space.

"Hey." You began. "You're a CEO now. Own up."

He was so humble. It was refreshing and kind of annoying at the same time. As much as your wanted to soak in his wealth with him, you couldn't help but admire how he couldn't realize his power. Or how much his family had left for him.

He rests his chin in his palm, pouting a little. There was a hint of worry in his eyes. "It all happened so fast. This was supposed to take months. My uncle just didn't want this without my mom, I guess."

Play dumb.

"Without your mom?" You made your way over to him. You sat up at his desk and instantly moved all of your hair to one side.
