( Marina)I felt small standing in front of RICCI NOIR—Giovanni Ricci’s empire.In a few minutes, I would walk through those glass doors and become the secretary of the most dangerous man I had ever met.The same man I had slept with on the worst night of my life.The same man who was now about to become my boss.My fingers tightened around my Birkin as I stepped inside, but the luxury surrounding me did nothing to calm the storm in my chest. If anything, it made everything feel even more unreal.You’re probably wondering how I ended up here.It started with betrayal.My boyfriend of three years got another woman pregnant, and by morning, the scandal was everywhere—splashed across blogs, whispered in drawing rooms, and staining my family’s precious reputation. My father was furious. Not because I was heartbroken, but because our name had been dragged through the mud.So when Giovanni Ricci offered me a job, my father accepted without hesitation.He didn’t ask how I felt. He didn’t care what had happened between Giovanni and me. He only saw an opportunity.Now I’m trapped in the world of a man as cold as he is powerful—a man whose touch I still haven’t forgotten, and whose intentions I can’t begin to understand.Did he bring me here to punish me for that night?To ruin me?Or could the devil in Armani be the only man capable of saving me from the life already falling apart around me?One thing is certain:Working under Mr Ricci will either destroy me…or make me his.
