Just like my pen name says, Annie’s space; writing has always been my safe space, a place I like to explore without judgement, give life to characters that are not always perfect and try to blend the line between fiction and reality. This is my haven

The CEO's Kept Secret
Updated at Jul 31, 2025, 07:17
He played the piano like a man trying so hard to forget the things he’s meant to remember for life. I listened, hoping I could figure out what he wanted. When Kao, a bright intern with a painful past, hears the haunting sound of a piano echoing from behind a closed office door, he never expects to find Mr. Nine, the cold-as-winter CEO, playing like his soul is breaking. What begins as a stolen moment behind closed doors spirals into late-night encounters, lingering glances, and a tension so thick it feels impossible to break. But the closer Kao gets to Nine, the more he realizes that secrets run deeper than music in this glass tower. Nine built his empire on blood, discipline, and betrayal. Trust is a luxury he can’t afford. But Kao walks in carrying light and questions Nine can’t ignore...and suddenly, the walls he’s spent years building begin to crack. What happens when the intern becomes the weakness? And when the CEO’s darkest secret is no longer safe? Office romance. Forbidden attraction. A secret mafia connection. Hidden past. And a love too powerful to stay quiet.
