LOGINSixteen years ago, Athena Mallway lost everything in one devastating night. Her mother died in a planned arson, her father was murdered, and the empire they built was stolen by the people they trusted most. After sacrificing her life to raise her younger sisters, Athena is ready to reclaim what belongs to her. Under the disguise of Mia Roberts, she becomes the personal assistant to Dexter El Camino—the billionaire who now controls her father’s company. Dexter was once her childhood crush. Now, he is her enemy. Athena has one goal: uncover the truth, destroy the families who ruined her life, and take back her inheritance. Her most important rule is simple—stay focused and never let her old feelings for Dexter El Camino surface . But as secrets unravel and old feelings resurface, Athena begins to question everything she thought she knew. In a world of love, lies, and revenge, reclaiming her empire may cost her heart.

I blinked repeatedly, the bright light above flashing directly into my face.“Where am I?” I muttered weakly.Still blinking, my vision slowly became clearer, and the strong smell of antiseptic immediately told me where I was.Hospital.That had to be it.Shit. My eyes widened.Had my cover been blown?What if Dexter and his parents took a closer look at my face when I fainted?I touched my face immediately.My glasses were gone. Those glasses perfected my disguise.“Oh no.”I jerked up from the bed into a sitting position but felt a sharp sting in my hand.I turned quickly and saw a drip connected to it.“No… no…”My chest tightened painfully. Athena, you just ruined everything.Why did I faint?Did I have a panic attack after seeing my parents’ picture or maybe because I was inside the den of my enemies after all these years?You messed up big time anthena, I hit the side of my bed with my other hand.After years of planni
The phone on my desk rang, and I picked it up immediately. “Mia, get my car ready. We’re leaving in a few minutes.” “Oh, where—” The line went dead. He had already hung up. I stared at the receiver. “Where is your car?” I muttered under my breath, burying my face in my palms for a second. Then I stood up and hurried to the desk beside mine. “What’s up?” the attendant asked. “I need to get Mr. El Camino’s car ready,” I said quickly. “That’s all he told me. His former assistant didn’t brief me, so I honestly have no idea what to do.” The man let out a low whistle. “She got fired,” he said. “Mr. El Camino chased her out and didn’t even let her collect her belongings. She didn’t last a week.” My chest tightened. “You have to be smart to work with him,” he continued, handing me a keycard. “This gives you access to his private garage. Call his driver and let him know the schedule.” He offered me a sympathetic smile. “Good luck.” I thanked him and immediately got to work. Wh
I barely recognized the woman staring back at me in the mirror. For a moment, I stood there in complete silence, searching my own reflection for some trace of the Athena Mallway I had known all my life. But she was gone. In her place stood a sophisticated brunette with long bangs, and a polished appearance, She looked like someone who belonged in corporate offices and luxury boardrooms not in an old cabin hidden in the countryside. She looked nothing like me. I turned to Blake, who appeared just as stunned as I was. “This is insane,” I whispered. He stepped closer and placed his hands firmly on my shoulders. “I want you to walk into that company with your head held high,” he said. “I want you to become their worst nightmare. Don’t get distracted. Stay focused and remember why you’re doing this.” Before I knew it, I had wrapped my arms around him. “Thank you,” I murmured, my voice breaking. “Thank you so much. I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you for everything you’ve done fo
Dexter El Camino, the eldest son of the El Camino family, now ran what used to be my father’s empire. The company had been absorbed into the El Camino franchise, rebranded, and presented to the world as though it had always belonged to them. As if my father’s blood, sweat, and sacrifices had never existed. The irony was that Dexter El Camino had once been my high school crush. All the wealthy families in our estate moved in the same circles. We attended the same private school, went to the same parties, and were raised in the same world of privilege and carefully curated perfection. Sixteen-year-old Athena had been hopelessly in love with him. But that was before. The woman I was now felt nothing but hatred at the mere thought of his existence. When I began investigating everyone in my father’s inner circle, three names appeared repeatedly. The El Caminos. The Cartiers. And the Sinclairs. Each family had played a role in dividing my father’s empire among themselves, but th
