LOGINOne night to save her future. One forbidden agreement with the man she should never touch. For Elena Thorne, selling herself online is a last resort to pay her college tuition after her cruel stepmother cuts off her allowance. However, Elena's world collapses when the door to the luxury hotel room opens. The man who booked her that night is Julian Vance, a cold billionaire and her own brother-in-law. Instead of letting her go, Julian makes a definitive threat and a dark offer. He will provide for Elena's every need, guaranteeing she will become his exclusive mistress. Behind Julian's lavish wedding, which is shattered by his wife's betrayal, Elena is caught in an adrenaline-fueled game of passion. They make love behind their families' backs, cultivating a dangerous addiction amidst their taboo relationship. When fear turns to love, can Julian break down his cold walls to protect his sister-in-law, or will this scandal destroy them both?

His dark gaze remained glued to the phone screen, where the silent video looped endlessly.Leon swallowed hard with great difficulty, instantly abandoning any thought of pressing further.Years of serving as Julian Vance’s personal assistant had taught him precisely when to speak, and when to keep his mouth shut if
The subtle vibration of his phone on the desk shattered the silence of the magnificent study.Julian, who had been immersed in a mountain of investment documents, glanced at the screen. A routine report notification had arrived from his security detail in the village.Expecting to see a picture of Elena taking a quiet stroll through the countryside, he opened the image file.The moment the photo loaded, his sharp eyes widened in shock.On his phone screen, Elena was standing intimately close to a tall young man.His woman was wearing a broad, radiant smile, a look he had rarely seen from her over the past few days.The unmistakable gleam of happiness on her face shone brightly, yet it was directed entirely at another man.In an instant, the calm expression on Julian's face vanished, replaced by a seething, incandescent rage.His chest heaved, obliterating every drop of peace he had just begun to feel.Without wasting a single second, Julian’s fingers moved rapidly across the screen, d
Sitting in his executive office, Julian chuckled softly as he read her text, amused by her pure innocence.His woman was far too trusting when it came to the kindness of strangers.On the flip side, irritation flared within him toward his clumsy operatives. How could his men quote a fare so low that it bordered on absolute absurdity?"Fools," he muttered under his breath, shaking his head with a low laugh.

Julian imagined his ruthless, unfeeling mother cornering Elena, spitting venomous words that would wound his woman.Elena was too precious, too gentle to be subjected to the high-society threats and intimidation Helena Vance so routinely hurled."I don't want Elena feeling frightened, threatened, or burdened in the slightest by Mother's antics," Julian hissed, his eyes glinting dangerously."If Helena manages to meet her even for a single minute, you know full well the consequences!"Leon nodded without hesitation. "Security will be doubled, Sir. I will personally ensure Miss Elena remains untouched by anyone from the Vance family.""Good. Get out and see to it.""Right away, Mr. Vance."
