LOGINShe swore to take him down. She never meant to fall for him. Samantha Gray doesn’t make mistakes anymore. Not after that one event that changed her forever. Now she’s a weapon with a single mission; get close to Ryan Robin Anderson and uncover the truth that disrupted her life. Ryan Robin Anderson is young, rich, powerful… and oblivious. As the city’s most eligible CEO, he’s used to controlling everything... except the danger quietly closing in. He needs protection from dangerous rivals, and without knowing it, he hires the one person who poses the greatest threat: her. He trusts her. He needs her. He has no idea who she really is. By day, she guards his life under a false identity. But by night, she haunts him as a mysterious masked woman who stirs feelings he can’t explain and shouldn’t trust. One man. Two versions of the same woman. A twisted game of secrets, lies, and unspoken attraction. She had two rules: He must never learn her real identity, and she must never fall for him. But the closer they get, the blurrier the lines become, and soon, Samantha will have to choose between revenge… and a heart she swore was bulletproof. “I was hired to protect you from your enemies. But who’s going to protect you from me?”
View MoreRyan's POVThe drive to Anderson Corporation felt strangely ordinary. Even the city looked exactly the way it had every other weekday morning. Nothing about the morning suggested that one of the country's largest corporations had woken beneath the weight of a growing scandal.I sat quietly in the back seat, watching it all through the tinted window. It irritated me more than I cared to admit.Somewhere across the city, reporters were dissecting my company's future one headline at a time, shareholders were questioning whether Anderson Corporation would survive the month, and every news channel seemed convinced they had already decided the outcome of an investigation that had barely begun.Yet the world continued as though none of it mattered.Philip met me the moment I stepped out of the elevator. He already had a tablet tucked beneath one arm and another folder in his hand."I've sent the revised statement to every major media house," he said as we walked toward the boardroom. "The au
Adrian's POVThe first thing I noticed when I stepped into my office was that the envelope on my desk hadn't been there when I left the previous evening. It rested neatly at the center of my desk, almost as though someone had measured the exact position before placing it there. There was no company seal, no courier stamp, and no sender's name. My own name was written across the front in clean block letters that revealed nothing about the person who had sent it.Alex came in a moment later, closing the office door quietly behind him."That arrived about twenty minutes ago."I didn't take my eyes off the envelope."Who delivered it?""The receptionist isn't sure. She said one of the security officers found it on her desk when she returned from taking a call."I slipped a finger beneath the flap and unfolded it carefully. There was only one sheet inside. There was no signature, nor watermark. Nothing except three neatly typed lines.The target has started asking questions. Family record
Ryan's POVSleep never really came. Every time I closed my eyes, another headline flashed across the darkness.ANDERSON CORPORATION LINKED TO ILLEGAL SHIPMENT.AUTHORITIES WIDEN INVESTIGATION.SHAREHOLDERS DEMAND ANSWERS.By the time the first hint of dawn slipped through the curtains, I was already dressed. The study looked worse than it had the night before.Files remained scattered across the desk exactly where Samantha and I had left them. My laptop screen glowed with overnight market reports, while two tablets displayed live financial updates from different exchanges. Red figures dominated every graph. Our stock had opened lower in the international market.I reached for my phone before the coffee beside me had a chance to cool. Philip answered on the second ring."I've been expecting your call.""I know." I exhaled."The media isn't slowing down.""I know.""The board wants an emergency meeting.""They'll have one." Philip hesitated."They're nervous.""They're supposed to be."
Ryan's POVThe doorbell rang just as David reached for another folder, and I didn't need to think twice to know who it was. Mom never announced her arrival twice."I'll get it," I said, pushing my chair back.As I walked to the front door, the walk felt longer than it should have. Maybe it was because everything that had happened today had finally begun catching up with me. Or maybe it was because I already knew the conversation waiting on the other side of that door.The moment I opened it, she looked me over from head to toe without saying a word. Her gaze moved from my face to my shoulders, then to my hands, almost as though she was making sure I was still in one piece.Only when she seemed satisfied did she finally speak."Have you eaten?"Despite everything that had happened, the question almost drew a smile from me."I've been accused of trafficking illegal goods today, Mom.""And starving yourself won't improve your defense."She brushed past me before I could respond, carrying
