For three years, I knew exactly how to survive working behind the bar of a nightclub: chin up, smile carefully measured, and a safe distance from any man who looked like trouble. I had simple rules. Do not get involved. Do not fall for the smooth words of men who knew exactly the effect they had. It was a good plan. Maybe the best one I had ever made. At least until my life was turned upside down by news too impossible to absorb: I was the daughter of a billionaire. A man I barely knew, but who had left everything to me. Money. Power. A last name I had never carried. And a luxury penthouse that felt as if it belonged to another woman, in another life, in another world. But nothing prepared me for him. My new neighbor. Arrogant. Confident. Indecent even when he was silent. The kind of man who entered any room as if the world had been built to receive him on its knees. The kind I could recognize from a distance, because I had spent years running from men exactly like him. Men too beautiful to be safe, too dangerous to ignore, and too addictive to forget. I should have kept my distance, but there was one problem. The more I tried to run, the more determined he seemed to reach me. And I, who had always known how to recognize danger before it got too close, began to wonder when exactly I had stopped running. Because some men do not knock on your door to ask permission. They slip beneath your skin; through desire, through the weakest part of your soul. And when I finally understood that, it was already too late to pretend he was just the billionaire next door. He was the mistake I could not make. And maybe the only one I wanted to make until the end.
