​The boardroom of Cole Industries was a monument to quiet power. Polished black marble, floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a dizzying view of the city, and a single, immense mahogany table. It was designed to intimidate, to remind every visitor exactly whose territory they were on.

​I arrived exactly two minutes before nine, wanting to project calm control. I was dressed in a charcoal suit, perfectly tailored, my concentration fully engaged, yet beneath the veneer of the composed CEO, I felt a coiled tension. This wasn't a business meeting; it was the next stage of a personal conquest disguised as corporate strategy.

​Ryan was waiting, leaning against the glass wall, a smirk playing on his lips.

​“You’re really going through with this?” he asked, shaking his head slightly. “Calling an emergency meeting with the Williams Group CEO twenty-four hours after accidentally glueing yourself to her? That’s dedication, man.”

    ​Then, boom, we hugged, her hand wrapping tightly around my waist.​The force of the push was strong enough that I instinctively wrapped my arms around her, holding her steady. It wasn't a gentle embrace; it was the sudden, jarring contact of two people colliding, yet the moment was anything but jarring to my senses.​Her body was pressed against mine, and I could feel the sharp intake of her breath against my suit jacket. Her hands, which had flown out to steady herself, were now clutching my waist. The delicate scent of her perfume—something floral and expensive, yet surprisingly subtle—filled my lungs.​For a long second, we remained that way, frozen in the doorway of the Rose Café. The world, which had already quieted for me when she walked in, now seemed entirely non-existent.​I was aware of every point of contact: the soft silk of her blouse under my hands, the steady beat of her heart, and the way her forehead rested against my shoulder. The intensity of it was intoxicating. I

    Ethan’s POVThe night felt unusually quiet. The gentle hum of the city lights below my mansion faded into the background as I stood by the glass wall, staring at my reflection. The same face everyone called intimidating, sharp jaw, cold eyes but tonight, something about it looked different. Softer.I'm happy.I had been thinking about her… Andrea Williams.Or at least, that was the name she carried. The moment I bumped into her at the dinner party, my entire body froze like I’d seen a ghost. The wine splashing onto her gown, her eyes widening. And that smile… it wasn’t the smile of the confident businesswoman the tabloids painted her to be. For years, I’d imagined meeting her, the woman whose empire stood next to mine in power and influence. Back then, when I was still an intern under my father’s company, she was already building her name, shaping the world like she owned it. I admired her from a distance, too proud to admit I was fascinated.And tonight, I finally met her. Not in a

Something that will determine my revenge.When the valet opened the door, the cool night breeze brushed my skin. I stepped out slowly, heels clicking against the floor, feeling the curious eyes of people turning toward me. For a brief second, I tasted power.

The scent of expensive perfume hung in the air, mingling with soft jazz. Every table was fil

    I wore the black jacket that completed my outfit perfectly. It gave off the hot, confident vibe I wanted."Good morning Ma'am. How was your night? Your breakfast is ready" Butler Beck bowed.I smiled as I climbed the staircase, my mind drifting with my next plan. Even though this lifestyle isn't mine to begin with, I'm ready to make use of it and get back to everyone that hurt me."Thanks Beck. I will take tea instead, I don't have any appetite this morning" The moment I finished speaking, a familiar voice followed.“What do you mean by that?”Turning around, I wasn’t surprised to see the two people who would go to any length for their daughter.

They truly believed I was their daughter, and for that, I had to do everything possible to make them happy.Five years ago, when I fell from the rooftop, I thought it was the end of my life.
