All Seraph Hampton wanted was to dream beyond the orphanage walls. That dream finally becomes reality when she’s picked as the only intern among nine full-time workers. At first, she’s unhappy,until she discovers the company belongs to none other than Luca Zhao. Tech billionaire. National hotcake. And the man she’s secretly crushed on for years. But everything changes when Seraph is accidentally sent to the 60th floor… and walks in on a freshly-showered Luca, wrapped in nothing but a towel. Her impulsive fangirl instincts take over,she hugs him. Luca’s classy, bossy, and sharp-tongued assistant, Miss Harper, walks in and nearly fires her. But Luca redeems Seraph on the spot, promoting her from intern to personal assistant,sending Miss Harper into silent flames. Working beside Luca should’ve been a dream. Instead, it becomes a twisted game of secrets. A hidden photo album reveals the unthinkable: her late mother once married Fernandez—Luca’s father. Which makes him her stepbrother. And that’s only the beginning… The storm hits when a feared and powerful figure known only as The Don of Dawn arrives Seraph’s real father, who abandoned them. Just as Seraph tries to process this, Miss Harper,Luca’s manipulative assistant— calls this same man Dad. Secret half-sisters. Forbidden attraction. A forced engagement bound by legacy and blood. Now Seraph is caught between dangerous love and truths. As she hacks phones, sneaks through private doors, and digs into elite secrets, she’s torn between revenge… and the one man who might be innocent in it all—Luca Zhao. As kisses and intimate moments turn into confessions, and loyalty is tested on every side, one thing is clear: This isn’t just an internship. It’s a battlefield. And Seraph Hampton is the unknown weapon.
View MoreHis lips came in contact with mine.Soft. Slow. Careful.I couldn't deny the pleasure I derived,so I kissed him back.i pulled away because as I got a sense of morality, which disagreed with what we were doing.I didn’t say a word. I just walked away.Thoughts about what just happened kept echoing.My stepbrother just kissed me.And worse?I liked it."Seraph, I hope you know you'll have to give me that every night" Luca said, stroking his chin while waving at me.I didn't looked back I just went directly to my room, started rolling on my bed thinking about what happened.And how I watched it happen, I had to be more careful,but Luca wasn't helping matters,to him he tried playing dirty with his intern but to me I just committed something forbidden.Even after this rhapsody of romance, my goal still remained,revenge, but now It was going to be a new target through a different route, I would use Luca to get to his father.Just as I rolled the sheets up, that was when I heard it.A voice.
She started making the schedule heftier,Miss Harper didn't take a pause while explaining Luca's schedule and routine. When she began briefing me, it was like she was Luca himself. She knew all about his meetings, travel, and external interactions."So, as his PA," she began, stressing each word like it was a syllabus, "you’ll manage all his external meetings, travel logs, personal schedules, and screen guest appearances. Everything goes through me first, of course."I nodded, pretending to care, but what I was really concerned about was the deeper truth: why did my mother end up marrying a man like Fernandez? When did it happen? Why didn’t she ever tell me? And why did she marry him,only to be overworked and left to die?My brain produced more questions than answers,but Miss Harper briefing, which felt more like yapping,produced a storm which made it hard for me to brainstorm.She noticed I wasn’t asking questions and listening, so she tried to trap me. "Knock, knock. Are you listenin
What a mystical name. Are you Hebrew by religion, if I may ask?” he asked, squinting like my name dragged him down memory lane.“Yes!” I said, smiling wide, masking everything I truly felt. “What made you ask?”“My mum was actually Hebrew,” he replied with a soft chuckle, “and she loved that name. She even made me promise I'd name my first daughter Seraph.”The moment he said the word mum, I wanted to rip his mouth apart, just so he’d never get to say that sacred word again,the same word his father had stolen from me. He didn't know how it felt to feel empty for years, to grow up craving warmth and closure that would never return. And yet, here he was, tossing it around like it was a candy in his mouth.I didn’t want him to notice the flimsy flame in me, which was about to be rekindled, so I quickly excused myself. “Sir, if you don’t mind, I’d love to take my leave now.”“Yes, you may,” he said, then paused. “But just one more thing. If you ever feel alone or depressed… I’m always her
Immediately he came in and saw the book in my hand. It felt like an earthquake shook the whole room, and the aftermath was still wrecking me.My hands trembled, my legs shook, my head felt heavy.I couldn't take the pressure anymore, so the heavy book slipped from my fingers and landed straight on my foot with a loud thud.“Ow—” I winced in both pain and disbelief.Luca’s reflexes kicked in fast. He rushed over and helped lift the book off me, then gently sat me down on the sofa.“How did the book slip out of your hands?” he asked, his voice loud but not angry,more like concerned. His eyes scanned me like I was made of glass.But I couldn’t answer. I couldn’t move.“It’s just…” I stuttered, my lips parted, but the complete sentence couldn’t come out.Because all I could think about was what I just discovered.Luca Zhao… was my stepbrother.The same man I had posters of.The same man I had crushed on since I was fifteen.He was my idol, I had made endless research about him,his workout
He came out dripping wet. Hair damp. A single white towel clinging to his waist. I froze. So did he. It wasn’t just anyone who walked out of the shower. It was him. Luca Zhao. The man I’d seen in magazines, interviews, and posters I glued above my orphanage bunk for years. The man I had dreamed of meeting and marrying. My idol. Only to now find him standing in front of me, dripping wet, in nothing but a white towel clinging low around his waist. My heart practically stopped. My brain? Gone. Excitement got the best of me, and without thinking… I hugged him. Yes. I hugged a half-naked billionaire. Luca stiffened. “Uh... excuse me?” Oh God. OH GOD. What was I doing!? I snapped out of it mid-hug, eyes widening in horror. I jumped back like I’d touched fire. “I—I am so sorry,, I'm just a fan” I stammered as my brain finally flew back into place. Before I could run out, then she walked in, Miss Harper,looking like the devil’s Delilah in heels. Her eyes darted betw
“Who is she?”Luca Zhao stared at the black-and-white footage on his office surveillance cam.The girl on screen sat on a bench just outside the staff entrance, knees pulled to her chest, hands tangled in her curls.“Nah,” he muttered. “That can’t be Gia.”He leaned forward, tilting his head. “Damn, she’s pretty. I think I know what to do.”He sucked on his lips, half in amusement, half in curiosity. Then he pressed the intercom.“Send the girl in. Quietly. No crowd.”“Yes, sir,” came the assistant’s voice.Before that, in the entrance hallway, where we were all seated, I was busy thinking about my dreams of ever meeting my idol finally coming true...but then it began to crumble, one name at a time.One by one, the names were called by Miss Harper.She started with, “Jay Orton, you will work under Blockchain Analysis.”He grinned happily. Finally, his days of straining his eyes to read through books with the tiniest writings were over.“Myra West,” she continued. The tiniest with the
