I was a regular interior designer until my life took a whirlwind turn when I was hired to renovate the luxurious property of Ethan Blackwood, a powerful billionaire with a reputation for being ruthless and cold. Our first encounter was a clash of wills, with Ethan acting like an arrogant asshole, and me, trying to maintain my composure to keep the job.

But just as we started to build something real, a dark secret from my past resurfaced, threatening to destroy everything.

I've landed the opportunity of a lifetime, and the pressure is suffocating."Come on, Ava, you can do this," I mutter to myself, trying to muster some confidence. But as I shuffle through my clothes, I find myself grappling with an unexpected crisis — what to wear?I grab a sleek black dress and hold it up to the mirror, evaluating my reflection. "Too formal? Not formal enough? Ugh, why is this so hard?"Just as I'm about to switch to another outfit, my phone rings, interrupting my internal monologue. I glance at the caller ID and smile.
