The CEO Husband Seeks Power, Not Love

Everyone in the kept-man circle knows the rule: a married woman is never to be touched. Davis Griffin is the exception—the husband of Esme Sloane, a weak man anyone can humiliate in front of his own wife. Yet Davis has his own plans: he has arranged for Esme to be sterilized so no illegitimate child can threaten his son's inheritance, and he waits for the real power of the Sloane Family to fall into his hands.

Then Esme brings home Tyson Japper, the boy Davis once took from an orphanage and sent abroad to study medicine. Tyson, who once swore to become a strong, upright man, now trades his body for power and asks Esme to hand him Davis's acting CEO authority. When Esme strips Davis of his position to appease Tyson, Davis knows tears alone will not save him.

But Esme's agreement does not mean the Sloane Family agrees. One phone call from her mother Beatrice brings thirty to forty Sloane Family members together—and they make their position brutally clear.
