LOGINClara Davis is a trained seductress and elite nightclub performer, sent on a dangerous mission to infiltrate the life of billionaire Jeffery Rothwell and seize control of his empire. Outwardly charming, innocent, and irresistible, she hides a ruthless mind and deadly skills, willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish her goal because her freedom to live a normal life depends on that mission. Every interaction, every seduction, and every performance brings her closer to her objective, but also risks exposing her in ways she cannot predict. As Clara embeds herself deeper into Jeffery’s world, she unexpectedly falls in love with him, violating her organization’s rules and putting herself at risk. Jeffery, observant and dominant, soon uncovers her true motives. His response is brutal. He assaults her, removes her inner organs, and forces facial and body reconstruction, declaring her dead. Reborn under a new identity, Clara must adjust to a reality dominated by fear, power, and obsession, walking beside a man whose control is absolute. As psychological games of dominance, desire, and manipulation intensify, Clara uncovers fragments of the Rothwell family’s past, including the shocking truth that the real Jeffery died years ago and the man she serves is a master assassin secretly controlling the empire. Every choice she makes carries risk, and every step is fraught with danger. Forbidden love turns to searing hatred as Clara confronts the assassin Jeffery and the resurfacing real Rothwell, forcing her to reconcile her past, her reborn identity, and the deadly truths surrounding her. Clara must embrace her new self, wield her intelligence and strength, and survive in a world where power is absolute, desire is weaponized, and love is no longer a refuge. Nothing is as it seems, and every choice comes at a dangerous cost.
View MoreJeffery had barely reached the elevator entrance when his phone vibrated inside his pocket. He glanced at the screen and immediately saw Mei’s name staring back at him. His expression hardened slightly before he answered the call and placed the phone against his ear.“Such a cold gesture. Not even a hello.” Mei’s voice drifted through the line smoothly. “I was beginning to think we had become close after our last conversation. Turns out we have not. Anyway, I called because i noticed you just placed an order through one of my stores. Since the anniversary is coming in a few days, I thought I should personally deliver it and use the opportunity to check on my dear friend.”Jeffery stepped into the elevator slowly while listening to her. “Stop pretending, we both know you are not Clara’s friend.” His tone remained flat, but there was already irritation sitting beneath the words. A soft laugh escaped Mei. “I guess I should stop pretending then.” She paused briefly before continuing. “Th
Clara had said it clearly.The day you see staff come in with clothes and shopping bags, checked the flower vase.He reached the side table.He picked up the vase with both hands as if he was examining it.Then he bent it slowly. His fingers found the bottom.Something was there.His heart was beating considerably faster than his face suggested.Whatever Clara had left him, he was now holding it.Theodore set the vase back down carefully and closed his hand around what he had found, keeping his expression completely neutral and his body language completely unremarkable.He looked at the trolleys one more time.Then he turned and walked back toward the corridor, returned to his original purpose of finding something to eat.His appetite had improved considerably.___Clara had been at the bottom of the pool long enough that the staff in the sitting room had stopped making eye contact with each other.Jeffery's patience had reached a place it had not been in some time. He looked down at
Jeffery checked three rooms before he accepted that Clara was not going to be found by checking rooms.The sitting room. The east corridor. The kitchen. The mansion felt occupied the way it always did even when it was quiet, and Clara had a way of leaving small evidence of herself in spaces she had recently passed through. A displaced cushion. A glass moved two inches from where it had been. He found the traces. He did not find her.He pulled out his phone and opened the CCTV panel.Fifteen seconds later he found her in the swimming pool, moving through the water with the unhurried ease of someone who had nowhere else to be and no strong feelings about that.He stared at the screen for a moment."Of course you went swimming," he said quietly. "After the stunt you just pulled."He put his phone away and walked toward the pool.Clara heard the shift in the air before she saw him and finished her stroke anyway, touched the wall, turned, and looked up.Jeffery stood at the pool edge in
Jeffery read it once. Then again. Not because he had not understood it the first time but because his mind was doing the work of tracing it backward from the headline to the source, following the thread from where it had landed to where it must have started, and every direction that thread pointed in led to the same place.The mansion.This is Clara's doings.A phone he still could not find on any camera footage.The silence in the corridor lasted several seconds.When Jeffery finally spoke his voice was completely level in the way that things were level when everything underneath them was moving in the opposite direction."When did this go out," he said."Approximately three hours ago," Logan replied. "It's too far out now to pull back quietly. Any cancellation at this point raises more questions than the appearance itself."Jeffery looked at the phone screen one more time.An amusement park. Public entry. Children and ordinary people and open space that no security arrangement could
Jeffery slowly released her, his hands slipping away from her as the quiet between them settled again. He looked at her for a brief moment before telling her to go take her bath. Clara blinked, slightly surprised, but she didn’t question him and simply nodded before heading toward the bathroom.The
H1 entered Clara’s room with its usual soft hum. She was struggling to stand when it appeared in the doorway. Every step hurt, and even gripping the edge of the bed for support required effort. “Good morning,” H1 said gently. “Mr. Rothwell requested I check if you need anything.”Clara shook her h
Later that night, Jeffery stood alone in his study. The screen in front of him replayed the same footage again. A small phone hidden beneath her hair. His eyes stayed on it, his thoughts going beyond what the screen actually showed.He replayed it once more. Clara wasn't aware he knew, or at least
Clara dried herself carefully in the changing room in the swimming pool area. She removed her soaked dress and changed into something soft and comfortable. She let out a quiet sigh. The water had left her hair slightly damp, clinging to her shoulders, and she walked toward her room. H1 had already
