Melting His Icy Heart
"I don't pay you to look at me, Miss Selena. I pay you to do your job."
He is Sam Valenti, the ruthless, cold-hearted CEO of Valenti Towers. Known as the 'Ice King' of the business world, he has no room for emotions, mistakes, or love. His heart is locked behind walls made of steel, and anyone who tries to cross them gets destroyed.
Then enters Selena Malik, his new personal assistant.
She is sharp, hardworking, and the only person who can handle his impossible demands without flinching. For her, this job is everything. She needs to survive his icy glares and toxic late-night shifts just to fix her life.
But behind closed office doors, late-night coffee runs, and forced proximity, the professional lines begin to blur. Every time he leans in closer to fix her collar, or every time his piercing blue eyes trail her across the boardroom, the tension becomes suffocating.
The Ice King is melting, and his obsession with his assistant is growing dangerous.
But when secrets from the past unfold, will this burning tension turn into real love, or will the cold-hearted CEO ruin the only woman who managed to touch his heart?
“You are mine to command, Miss Selena. In the office... and out of it.”

Chapter: The Calm Before the StormThe morning in the apartment was nothing short of a hurricane."Selena! Where is my eyeliner?" Erica shouted, running across the hallway with one shoe on."I don't know, Erica! I'm trying to remember if 'subsidiary' in Spanish is filial or sucursal!" Selena paced the living room, her Spanish notes clutched in her hand. She looked stunning in a sharp, charcoal-gray blazer and a crisp white shirt the ultimate power outfit.Rose walked over, placing her hands firmly on Selena's shoulders to stop her pacing. "Breathe, Sel. You've got this. You are smart, you are fluent, and you are going to show that 'Monkey' exactly why he hired you. Don't let his cold face freeze your brain.""Exactly!" Erica chimed in, finally finding her eyeliner. "Go in there, look him in those piercing blue eyes, and speak such beautiful Spanish that he forgets how to be a jerk for five minutes. You're the best, remember that!"Selena smiled, th

Chapter: The Language of DefianceSelena hauled the heavy stack of 2016 ledgers from the third floor, her arms aching and her mind racing. She dropped them on her obsidian desk with a loud thud and took a moment to steady her breathing. Her heart felt like a trapped bird. She knew what was coming. She had insulted the king in his own castle, and now she had to face the music.She walked to the mahogany doors and knocked, her knuckles barely making a sound against the heavy wood."Come in."Sam was sitting behind his desk, the sunlight catching the silver of his watch as he signed a document. He didn't look up, but the air in the room felt colder than usual."You called for me, sir?" Selena asked, her voice small."Indeed I did, Miss Selena," Sam replied, finally setting his pen down. He leaned back, his piercing blue eyes locking onto hers. He looked at her for a long time, letti

Chapter: The Key to ChaosSelena's breath hitched as her fingers brushed against something cold and metallic inside the envelope. Expecting the sharp edge of a termination letter, she instead pulled out a sleek, silver key.She turned it over in her palm, her brow furrowed in confusion. No letter. No explanation. Just a heavy, intricately carved key. What is this? The key to his heart? Or the key to my own grave? she wondered, her mind spinning with a hundred different theories.After pacing outside his office for ten minutes, her curiosity finally outweighed her fear. She straightened her blouse, took a deep breath, and knocked on the mahogany doors."Come in."As she stepped inside, Sam didn't even look up from his laptop. He looked perfectly composed, the morning light catching the sharp angle of his jaw."Sir... what is this?" Selena asked, holding the silver key up between he

Chapter: Unbelievable HappeningsThe shock that hung in the air was so heavy you could hear a pin drop. Selena's eyes were glued to the screen, reading the same sentence over and over again, afraid that if she blinked, the words would vanish."Dear Miss Selena, We are pleased to inform you that after a thorough review of your interview and qualifications, you have been selected for the position of Executive Assistant to our CEO, Mr. Sam Valenti...""I... I got it?" Selena's voice was a tiny squeak. "I actually got it!"Erica snatched the phone, her eyes scanning the details at lightning speed. "Wait, look at this! The appointment letter is attached. The benefits, the health insurance, and OH MY GOD, SELENA! Look at the salary!"Erica pointed to a figure that made Selena's jaw hit the floor. It was more than she had ever dreamed of making in a year, let alone a month. There were also clauses about travel, a wardrobe allowance for high-profile meetings, and a dire

Chapter: The Devil’s WhisperThe air in the office suddenly felt heavy, charged with a tension so thick Selena felt like she was suffocating. She stood there, her gaze fixed firmly on the polished floorboards, unable to look him in the eye. The silence was a physical weight, pressing down on her shoulders. Every insult she had hurled at him monkey, peon, arrogant jerk echoed in her mind like a death sentence.She heard the soft creak of leather. Then, the rhythmic, slow thud of expensive shoes against the carpet.He's coming.Selena tightened her grip on her file until her knuckles turned white. Her mind raced through the worst case scenarios. This is it, she thought, her heart hammering a frantic rhythm against her ribs. He's going to grab me by the arm and throw me out himself. Or worse, he'll call security and have me blacklisted from every firm in Italy. Maybe he'll even slap me for that 'monkey' comment.The scent reached her first that intoxicating, dominant blend of sandalwood and chilled air. It wrapped

Chapter: The Morning Rush and the Cursed CommuteThe morning in Milan came with a smooth, golden glow, though in the apartment on Via Mozart, it felt more like a furious countdown. The air becomes thick with the scent of freshly brewed espresso, burnt toast, and a dizzying blend of three different perfumes.Rose had just stumbled through the front door, face pale and eyes heavy after a grueling twelve-hour night shift at the sanatorium. Her scrubs have been wrinkled, and all she wanted was to disappear into bed for a century. However, she knew that her roommates were facing a massive day, and sleep might have to wait.In the hallway, the sound of rhythmic clicking filled the air. Erica was in full "Sales Manager" mode, darting in and out of her bedroom. One moment she was wearing a silk cream blouse, the next she was swapping it for a sharp pinstriped shirt. She was a whirlwind of professional energy, huffing as she struggled to pick the perfect pair of heels to match her power suit.Meanwhile, Selena stoo
