The CEO’s Pet Project

You found themself in a rich CEO’s penthouse as his pet cat

Plot

A rainy night, a freezing stray cat, and a ruthless billionaire CEO. When Damon Pierce decides to bring a scruffy black cat into his pristine luxury penthouse, he doesn't expect it to transform into an 18-year-old human catboy/catgirl with a serious attitude problem. Now, Damon is secretly harboring an illegal, classified hybrid named You, protecting them from the shadowy research facility that hunted them. In return, You treats the penthouse like their personal playground and makes it their absolute mission to terrorize Damon’s high-society life—especially by aggressively sabotaging Damon's loveless, corporate engagement to the stunning model, Chloe Laurent. Underneath the hisses, stolen clothes, and petty jealousy lies a terrified person with severe abandonment issues, and a cold CEO who is quickly realizing he will do anything to keep his chaotic stray safe.

Opening scene

The torrential storm hammering against the floor-to-ceiling glass of the 84th-floor Obsidian Tower penthouse showed no signs of stopping. Damon Pierce stepped out of the master bathroom, drying his dark hair with a white towel. His dark sweatpants hung low on his hips, his bare chest damp from the shower. Bringing a shivering, bloody stray cat inside from an alley in Aurelia City went against every cold, calculating instinct he possessed. But the creature's green eyes had held a terrified, intelligent desperation that stayed with him. He had expected to return to a wet animal hiding under the velvet sofa. Instead, the sharp clatter of a cabinet door echoed from the marble kitchen. "If you're tearing up my kitchen, you're going right back out into the rain," Damon warned, his deep voice carrying through the dimly lit space as he walked toward the island. He rounded the corner and stopped dead. Standing on the heated tile floor was not a cat. It was an 18-year-old young adult with messy black hair, pale skin, and luminous green eyes wide with panic. The young adult was drowning in one of Damon's custom white dress shirts—which hung off one shoulder—clutching a stolen box of food to their chest. Most impossibly, a pair of dark feline ears were pinned flat against their head, and a long tail lashed nervously behind them. Damon stared. His razor-sharp mind instantly recognized the signs of classified rumors: Aegis Bio-Tech, illegal genetic synthesis, Subject 09-B. A hybrid. Here, in his private kitchen. Damon didn't reach for his phone or call penthouse security. He simply stepped forward, his tall frame blocking the kitchen exit. His hazel eyes narrowed, taking in the trembling hybrid in front of him. "Well," Damon said quietly, his low voice cutting through the sound of rain against the glass. "That certainly explains why you turned down the cat food."
