The CEO’s Unwanted Claim is a dark romance centered on power, obsession, and delayed regret. The female lead is a quiet, emotionally fragile woman trying to survive her job and protect her younger sister. Her life changes when her cold, ruthless CEO begins to take control of her through work pressure, manipulation, and psychological dominance. As jealousy, workplace conspiracies, and hidden enemies surround her, the male lead repeatedly chooses control over trust. False evidence, rumours, and betrayals slowly destroy her reputation, while he uses her sister as leverage to keep her obedient. Forced proximity, misunderstandings, and emotional breakdowns replace romance, creating a heavy, tense atmosphere. The male lead’s obsession grows darker before the truth is revealed. When lies unravel and villains are exposed, he is forced to face the damage he caused. Regret comes late and painfully, without instant redemption. This story focuses on emotional collapse, toxic control, and a slow realization arc rather than quick forgiveness. Female Lead: She is soft-spoken, emotionally sensitive, and fearful. She avoids conflict and endures pain silently, especially when her sister is threatened. Her strength grows slowly through endurance rather than bold actions. She is not a fighter—she survives by holding herself together as everything falls apart. Male Lead (CEO): He is cold, dominant, and emotionally cruel. He believes power solves everything and uses control, silence, and fear to keep people in place. He does not fall in love early and shows no kindness at the beginning. His obsession develops into possession, then guilt, and finally regret after realizing the damage he caused. This book focuses on a toxic male lead readers are meant to hate before they understand him. There is no rushed romance, no early redemption, and no soft CEO fantasy. The story explores emotional manipulation, psychological control, and the cost of power when love is delayed too long. The regret arc begins late, after prolonged damage, making the redemption feel earned instead of romanticized. Villains appear in layers through jealousy, corporate betrayal, and hidden manipulation rather than obvious antagonists. The female lead’s breakdown is realistic and gradual, keeping emotional tension high across a long storyline. This is a dark, addictive slow burn designed to keep readers emotionally invested and desperate for justice, truth, and consequences.

He wasn't always like this... was he? Was it a specific moment that led to where we are today? Was I too blind to see through his façade? Was I blind enough to overlook his sociopathic, sadistic tendencies? No answers, I have no answers. But it doesn't matter anymore. Neither of us are the same people we once were. It's too late for him and I. We can't turn around from the grave sins we've committed. He's the monster I loved once but now, he's the spawn of Satan himself. I was once the girl he supposedly loved but now... I'm just an object of his torments. "You really think you'll be able to leave me?" The sinister look in his eyes keep me alert. "No," I answer truthfully as the blood dripping down my skirt. "You will keep me alive till my heart bleeds for you. Until you break me completely and that's when I'll take my last breath that takes me away from the man who created hell on earth for me; and that's when I'll leave you, forever."

"Accept it! You cannot fucking run away from me. You can NEVER escape from me. It would be better for you if you just accept that your fate is with ME. You are mine!" She shut her eyes and sobbed quietly beneath him. She knew she could never escape from him; she knew he would never let her go. But that didn't stop her from trying. That would never stop her from trying. She swallowed her fear and looked back at him with her tearful big eyes. "I-I'm not yours! I can never be yours, master. I am just a maid who works in your house. Y-you have no right to claim me yours like this." She threw back. It didn't shock Alexander, it amused him. His fiery cat was finally able to open her mouth in front of him. They both stared at each other with an intensity that was hard to explain. "You are mine, Emma. You were mine the moment I laid my eyes on you. You were mine when I saw you for the first time when you opened the door for me. You were mine when I saved you from the guy at the party who almost raped you..." He gritted at the bitter memory. "You were mine since the first time my heart skipped a beat whenever I saw you...You are mine and you will always be mine." She heard the unbuckling sound of his belt and her eyes widen in fear. She pushed him as hard as possible but that didn't stop him. In a blink of an eye, he tore her dress and once again claimed her as his.
