LOGINAmelia Carter has spent her entire life putting everyone else first. Working multiple jobs to support her sick mother and younger brother, she's learned that dreams are a luxury she can't afford. Everything changes after one rainy night when she witnesses something she was never supposed to see. Days later, Amelia receives an unexpected offer to work as the personal assistant of Alexander Kingston—the youngest billionaire CEO in the country. Cold, powerful, and impossible to read, Alexander keeps everyone at a distance. Yet for reasons he refuses to explain, he chooses Amelia to stay by his side. As they spend more time together, their professional relationship slowly turns into something neither of them expected. But with corporate enemies, jealous rivals, hidden family secrets, and a dangerous truth linking their pasts, falling in love could cost them everything. Why did the most powerful man in the country choose an ordinary woman like Amelia? And when the truth finally comes to light, will love be enough to keep them together? Or will the choice that brought them together become the very thing that tears them apart?
View MoreRain began falling just after sunset.Soft.Steady.The kind of rain that made New York glow beneath the streetlights.Inside Alexander's penthouse, the atmosphere was much quieter than it had been in days.The hidden compartment.The second key.Olivia's letter.The Black Raven Society.Everything had happened so quickly that neither Alexander nor Amelia had truly had time to breathe.For the first time since the gala...They were finally alone.Amelia stood in the kitchen, making two cups of tea.She wasn't thinking about recipes.Or work.Or schedules.She was thinking about Alexander.Ever since Richard revealed the truth about Olivia...Alexander had carried an invisible weight.He smiled.He spoke normally.But she knew him well enough to notice the difference.He was quieter.Lost in thought.She carried the tea into the living room.Alexander was standing by the windows, watching the rain."You've been staring outside for fifteen minutes."He smiled faintly."Has it been that
The hospital room remained silent.No one spoke.No one moved.The only sound was the slow beeping of Richard Sullivan's heart monitor.Amelia stared at the black raven symbol on the card.It looked simple.Almost ordinary.Yet it had filled Richard with more fear than the sniper's bullet.Alexander folded the card carefully."The Black Raven Society."Richard closed his eyes."I prayed you would never hear that name."Daniel frowned."I've worked intelligence and private security for years.""I've never seen that symbol."Richard gave a weak smile."That's exactly why they're dangerous."An hour later...The police had secured the hospital floor.Investigators photographed every inch of the room.The attacker had disappeared without leaving fingerprints.Without leaving DNA.Without appearing clearly on any security camera.It was as if he had never existed.Daniel stood near the window."They knew exactly where every camera was.""They planned this."Alexander nodded."They've been
The sun had not yet risen over New York.St. Matthew Medical Center was unusually quiet.The emergency wing remained under heavy police guard after the shooting at the Kingston Foundation Gala.Outside Room 712...Two officers stood watch.Daniel had personally requested additional security.If someone had tried to kill Richard Sullivan once...There was every reason to believe they would try again.Alexander stood outside the room, staring through the small window in the door.Richard lay unconscious.Machines monitored his heartbeat.His shoulder was heavily bandaged.The bullet had missed his heart by less than an inch.The doctor had called it a miracle.Alexander wasn't sure he believed in miracles anymore.Amelia quietly walked up beside him."You've been standing here for ten minutes.""I know.""You don't have to go in alone."He looked at her."I've spent half my life wanting answers.""And now...""I'm afraid of what they might be."Amelia reached for his hand."Whatever the
Richard Sullivan walked alone through the dimly lit parking area behind the Kingston Foundation Hall.His silver cane tapped steadily against the pavement.He neither hurried nor looked over his shoulder.It was as though he already knew someone was watching.Several yards behind him, Alexander and Amelia were making their way back toward the ballroom.Neither of them noticed the shadow on the rooftop across the street.Only Daniel did.Years of military training had sharpened his instincts.Something felt... wrong.He stopped walking.His eyes slowly scanned the surrounding buildings.Windows.Balconies.Rooftops.Then—A brief flash.Like moonlight reflecting off metal.Daniel's eyes widened."Sir!"Alexander turned immediately.Daniel shouted at the top of his lungs."Get down!"A deafening crack split the night.Bang!The bullet cut through the air.Richard instinctively turned toward the sound.Too late.The round struck his shoulder with tremendous force.He staggered backward.
