The Billionaire's Frozen Heart

The rain poured heavily over Manhattan. From the floor-to-ceiling windows of Ford Tower, Walter Ford stood silently, watching the city below. Thousands of lights sparkled in the darkness, yet none of them could chase away the emptiness he carried inside. "Mr. Ford, your meeting begins in ten minutes." His assistant's voice came through the intercom. "I'm aware." Walter didn't turn around. People often described him as cold. They weren't wrong. Feelings were weaknesses. Trust was dangerous. Love was nothing more than a distraction. He had learned those lessons years ago. The hard way. Down on the streets, meanwhile, Lois Ray hurried through the rain while clutching a paper bag full of books. "Oh no, no, no..." She glanced at the dark clouds above. The bookstore owner had asked her to deliver a rare collection to an important client before closing time. Unfortunately, she was already late. As she ran across the street, a car suddenly sped through a puddle. Splash! Cold water soaked her from head to toe. "Seriously?" she groaned. The luxury black car immediately stopped. The rear door opened. A tall man stepped out. Dark suit. Sharp features. Cold gray eyes. The kind of man who looked like he owned the entire city. Walter Ford. Neither of them knew it yet. But this accident was about to change both of their lives forever.
