I don't care how many zeros are on your paycheck, Miss Vance. In this building, I am God. And you are nothing but a trespasser." Christian Hawke is a tyrant in a bespoke suit. As the ruthless, hyper-dominant CEO of Hawke Shipping, he rules his billion-dollar empire with an iron fist. He is a man used to absolute, unquestioned control. So when his panicked board of directors bypasses him to hire me—the industry’s most lethal corporate fixer—Christian declares open war. He wants to break me. He tries to drown me in impossible workloads, freeze me out of boardrooms, and intimidate me with his towering, suffocating presence. But I didn't survive a cutthroat, male-dominated industry by backing down from arrogant billionaires. I am Elena Vance, and I don't flinch. Every clash between us is sharp, vicious, and electric. But anger is a dangerous fuel. During a tense, late-night storm locked in his top-floor office, the thin line between burning hatred and blinding frustration snaps. A screaming match turns into a frantic, breathless collision behind closed doors. It was supposed to be a mistake. A one-time release to get each other out of our systems. Instead, it opens a dark, addictive gateway. By day, we are corporate enemies plotting each other’s ruin in the boardroom. By night, we are tearing each other's clothes off in the shadows of his penthouse, crossing lines that can never be uncrossed. Christian thinks he can make ruthless demands in the bedroom just like the boardroom—but I am no one's captive. As corporate secrets unravel and outside enemies threaten to destroy the empire, the ice begins to melt, exposing a fierce, possessive intimacy neither of us saw coming. In a war where hearts are the ultimate casualty, who will be the one to finally bend the knee?

“Selfish brat!” Mommy was about to slap me when someone held her wrist. I swallowed hard and looked up to see who could it be only to gasp when I found out it was Calvin! He looked furious, like a dragon ready to spit fire. His forehead was wrinkled and his lips were on a grim line. His jaw was clenched repeatedly, and his eyes were like that of the sky's wrath. His dark aura told me that his anger is uncontrollable. “Try to lay your hands on her, and you'll taste the real hell," he said coldly. He spoke as if he was so sure of his words. It sent shivers down my spine. “Who the hell are you, and who gave you the rights to trespass without our permission?!” Mommy turned to Calvin angrily. While I could just stare at him in pure shock and wonder at the same time. How the hell did he get here? Calvin let go of her hands blustery and turned to me. I gasped when he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him that I could almost feel the heat of his body because of his burning anger.

Though his aura remained dark, it felt strange that I'm more than glad that he's here. “I am and your only daughter's husband,” he declared fiercely, eyes still fixed on me. My jaw dropped as my head spun. Everything was starting to blur. And before I knew it, his words were the last thing I heard before my vision blacked out. “Allyssa!"
