ICE CEO By Levit Aleuen Lucien Vale does not smile. As the youngest and most powerful CEO in the city, he built his empire on control, silence, and an aura cold enough to freeze a room. He doesn’t date. He doesn’t chase. And he certainly doesn’t tolerate defiance. Until Zara Quinn. Sharp-tongued, fearless, and completely unimpressed by his status, Zara challenges him publicly on her first week at Vale Corporation — and survives. Instead of firing her, Lucien offers something far more dangerous: A contract engagement. One year. Public appearances. No emotions. Strict rules. Zara needs the money. Lucien needs the image. It should have been simple. But stolen glances turn into lingering touches. Mocking arguments turn into charged silence. And the man known as “Ice CEO” begins to crack. When business rivals, jealous exes, and buried secrets threaten to expose the truth behind their arrangement, Zara must decide: Is she just another strategic move in Lucien’s perfect empire… Or the only woman capable of melting it? In a world where power is everything and love is weakness, falling for the wrong person could cost them both everything.
