PROLOGUE
236 Words
The air turned still as she stepped out of her car. People couldn’t help but stare. She moved with such grace and elegance that heads naturally turned. Her long hair cascaded perfectly to her waist, and her figure sculpted like that of a runway model. Any man would go wild for her body. Her skin was smoothly and beautifully tanned, her cool brown eyes complemented her finely shaped face, and her lips were coated with a soft peach gloss.
Most people would assume she was a seductress—but things were not as they seemed.
She was Velda Jance, a 22-year-old independent woman who didn’t believe in love anymore. After enduring painful relationships, she'd built an empire—one of Paris’ most successful clothing lines. Kind-hearted yet emotionally guarded, she had no heart left to give.
But fate had other plans—plans that began the day she met Priden Triton.
Priden Triton, 25, was a multi-billionaire and one of the most powerful men in business. As CEO of Triton Studios, a renowned Parisian magazine company, he was admired and feared. With the looks of an Adonis—broad shoulders, dark hair, piercing blue eyes, and perfectly bronzed skin—he had no trouble attracting women. A certified playboy, he flitted from one nightstand to the next.
But even he, with all his wealth and charm, carried a dark secret... one that fate would soon unravel.
