I built this empire on fear. People say I’m cold. Ruthless. Impossible to touch. After my parents died out of nowhere, I took the company’s reins. I turned it into a war zone. Half the staff can’t last ten days. They quit. Or I make sure they don’t have a choice. In my world, loyalty doesn’t exist. It’s just another word people use before they stab you in the back. Then he walked in, broke and desperate—like everyone else. Only difference? He didn’t flinch. He didn’t beg. He survived my tests, stuck out my cruelty, and when I gave him the silent treatment, he just stared right back. For once, I couldn’t get rid of someone. Now old enemies are crawling out of the dark. The truth about my parents? It’s not staying buried. And this man, the one who was never supposed to matter, is suddenly the only thing keeping my world from crashing down. But if you trust the wrong person, you lose everything. And I’m starting to wonder if the only man I couldn’t break is the one who’ll end up breaking me.
