I was merely an inconspicuous part of Jeo Donald's empire, a struggling assistant. He was a harsh, cold man who never showed mercy. Until the night he fixed me with those piercing, cunning eyes. He didn't inquire. He made a demand. He would eliminate my debts if I were his. Be his, and I would no longer have to battle. I should have run when he stared at me like he owned me before I said yes. Instead, I fell—dangerous, quickly, and hard. Nobody could be aware of us. His enemies would use me to destroy him if they did. And that's precisely what took place. The man I had devoted my heart to was overthrown when the world turned against him. I betrayed him, they said. They claimed that when he most needed me, I left. However, they are unaware of the reality. It was never intended for Jeo Donald to lose, and he won't simply reclaim his kingdom when he gets back. I will be reclaimed by him. even if it means disclosing the one sinister secret that could potentially destroy us both.

I should have known that working for the cruel, frigid billionaire Damian Blackwood would be a nightmare. When I saw the cold gaze in his sharp gray eyes and the way he treated me like I were nothing, I should have turned to go.
However, I was unable to. This employment was necessary for me.
Aria, his daughter, is eight years old and struggling due to her father's inability to show her affection. Somehow, she picks me up when she needs someone.
Damian observes her laughing, the warmth in her eyes, and myself for the first time in years. Even if his words hurt me and his presence suffocates me, there is something broken behind his merciless façade that draws me in despite my better judgment.
Then I discover the reality.
His spouse didn't just pass away. She was killed. And the guy who did it? He's closer than I thought he would be.
Damian is not a trusting person. I've now given him every reason to think that I was sent to ruin him.
Because of the person he has been pursuing? He used to be the guy I cherished.
The monster I believed I had fled is again returning to haunt me.
