LOGINCamila Damien has spent years avoiding Eric Sylvester—the ruthless CEO whose cold reputation precedes him. But when a career-making promotion forces them together on a billion-dollar pharmaceutical project, avoidance becomes impossible. Eric can't shake the feeling that he's seen her before. The mysterious woman in his wallpaper. The missing pieces of a night he can't remember. And now, the brilliant scientist who challenges him at every turn. But Camila is hiding something darker than career ambitions. Three weeks of her life is gone. Stolen by a drugging incident she can't remember and a saboteur she can't identify. As corporate espionage, toxic family ties, and a dangerous conspiracy close in around them, Camila and Eric must decide: trust each other with their carefully guarded hearts, or lose everything, including their lives. In the high-stakes world of pharmaceutical giants, where betrayal comes from those closest to you and the truth is buried in forgotten memories, love might be the most dangerous risk of all.

Eyes fixed on the road like it required all his concentration.Camila sat in the passenger seat, hyperaware of every breath, every movement, the lingering warmth of where her hand had touched his arm."Like I'm falling."She'd almost said it. Almost told him the truth.Thank God she'd stopped herself.The city lights blurred past. Late-night traffic. The hum of the engine. The weight of everything unsaid pressing down on them."Thank you," Camila finally said, breaking the silence. "For waiting. You didn't have to.""I wanted to."Three words. But they meant everything.Camila looked at him. Really looked. Saw the tension in his shoulders. The way his jaw clenched and unclenched. The careful distance he was maintaining."Eric—""How was he?" The question came out rough. "Bradley. Was he... what you expected?"Camila's chest tightened. "He was nice. Really nice.""Nice." Eric's v
ERIC Eric saw the moment Camila walked out of the restaurant. Saw Bradley kiss her cheek. Saw red.Then Bradley left. And Camila walked toward him.Eric stood. Tried to school his expression into something neutral.Failed spectacularly."Hey," Camila said softly."How was your date?" The words came out clipped. Cold."It was... fine.""Fine.""Yeah. Fine.""He kissed you.""On the cheek. As a friend.""Looked like more than a friend from here."Camila's eyes narrowed. "Are you jealous?"Yes. Furiously. Irrationally. "No. I'm your boss. I don't get jealous.""Right. My boss. Who waited for over an hour in a hotel lobby.""I said I'd drive you home.""You could have left.""I didn't want to leave."The admission hung between them."Why not?" Camila asked, stepping closer. Because watching you date someone else was torture. Because suddenly, I wanted to be the one across from you at dinner."Because it's late. And I gave you my word."Camila stared at him. Frustrated. Searching."You
CHAPTER EIGHTEENCAMILAThe Rosewood Restaurant was on the second floor. Intimate. Candlelit. Romantic.Everything a first date should be.Camila felt nothing.Phew!Bradley was already there, standing when she approached. Tall. Handsome in his glasses and blue button-down. Smiling."Camila. You look beautiful.""Thank you. Sorry I'm a bit late.""No problem." He pulled out her chair. Perfect gentleman. "Work ran late?""Business meeting. It went well."They sat. A server appeared with menus and water."So," Bradley said, smiling. "Your mom has told me so much about you."Great. This again."Has she?" Camila tried to sound interested."She's very proud. Says you're doing groundbreaking research."That was... surprisingly nice. When had Elena ever said anything positive about her?"I try.""Don't be modest. Mom—Mrs. Henderson—showed me some of your published papers. I'm a doctor, but even I could tell they were impressive."Okay. Bradley was actually... nice. Smart. Genuinely intereste
ERICThe Wellington Room was everything Eric had dreaded.Elegant. Intimate. With a view of the city that Victoria immediately started gushing about."Eric! Finally!" Victoria swept toward them in a red dress that screamed for attention. "And Dr. Camila. How... unexpected.""Victoria." Camila's voice was cool. Professional. "Mr. Ashford."Richard Ashford stood from his seat, assessing Camila with sharp eyes. Tall. Silver-haired. The kind of man who'd built an empire and wasn't impressed easily."So you're the researcher everyone's talking about," Ashford said, extending his hand.Camila shook it firmly. "I hope they're saying good things.""They're saying you're brilliant and controversial. In my experience, those two qualities often go together." He smiled. Shark-like. "Let's see if you're worth the investment."They sat. Eric at the head of the table. Ashford to his right. Camila to his left. Victoria next to her father, shooting daggers at Camila.The server poured wine. Brought me

Outside the building, as they walked to his car, he opened the door and got in. Camila looking at the car like it's a bad omen. Her body suddenly uncomfortable in that dress. "You will not get in?" Eric arched his brows at her. "I don't bite and if you want to go separately, I don't give a fuck ab
