Vivian Blackwell has one reason for getting close to Adrian Vale. Revenge. Adrian Vale is the powerful CEO of Vale Corporation, but behind his polished image lies a secret known only to a select few. He is Venom—the feared ruler of the underworld and leader of Black Fang. His name alone is enough to make criminals tremble. His organization follows its own rules, and those who dare to break them rarely get the chance to make the same mistake twice. Vivian knows exactly who Adrian is. She also knows the kind of man he is supposed to be. So when Marcus—the man who raised her, trained her, and became the father figure she trusted with her life—leaves her with one final name before his death, Vivian is shaken. Venom. Marcus tells her to avenge him. But why? Why would Venom want Marcus dead? Marcus told Vivian that Venom shot him because he had witnessed Venom killing an innocent family of three. According to Marcus, Venom killed him to silence him. But is that what really happened? What is the real truth? And was the man Vivian trusted all her life really the person she believed him to be? That night, consumed by rage, Vivian goes after Adrian under her secret identity, Viper. But during their fight, she realizes that Adrian is far stronger than she expected. She cannot kill him, and she is forced to retreat. Five years later, Vivian returns with one goal. Get close to Adrian. Make him trust her. And then destroy everything he loves. But approaching a man like Adrian Vale is not as simple as she imagined. Determined to get closer to him and uncover the truth behind Marcus’s death, Vivian comes up with a plan: she will find a way into his professional and personal world by taking up a position as his secretary. Working directly under Adrian gives her the opportunity to observe him closely, gain his trust, and investigate the secrets surrounding his past. Every interaction becomes an opportunity to gather information, and every moment brings her closer to the answers she has spent five years searching for. But getting close to Adrian Vale is far more complicated than Vivian expected. Cold, observant, and dangerously difficult to read, Adrian doesn’t let people into his world easily. Yet somehow, Vivian manages to catch his attention in a way no one else has. The closer they get, the more complicated Vivian’s plan becomes. Because revenge was never supposed to feel like this. And falling for the man she came to destroy was never part of the plan. But Vivian isn’t the only one hiding secrets. As buried truths begin to surface and the line between love and revenge starts to blur, Vivian may have to question everything she thought she knew. Some secrets are better left buried. Some people are better left alone. And some hearts become dangerous the moment they fall into the wrong hands. But when Vivian finally discovers the truth, how much pain will she have to endure?
