He owns the city. He owns the company. And now… he wants to own me. Adrian Vale is the kind of man who commands attention without asking, whose presence alone can make the strongest people falter. As his new executive secretary, I was supposed to stay invisible, keep my head down, and follow orders. I wasn’t supposed to feel anything beyond professionalism. But Adrian doesn’t play by the rules. He tests me. Pushes me. Teases me until I’m caught between fear and desire. Every whispered command, every dangerous glance, every stolen moment in the office draws me deeper into a world where power and possession rule—and crossing the line isn’t an option. He’s not gentle. He’s not kind. He’s intoxicating. And I can’t escape him. Some desires don’t ask permission. They demand ownership.
