LOGINCecilia Henderson has lived her life in a bubble of privilege and purity, sheltered from the darkness that funds her father’s empire. Her world is charity galas, college degrees, and dreams untouched by violence. But when a single waltz with Zacian,the ruthless Boss of All Bosses, shatters that illusion, everything changes. Dominic Henderson, her father, is drowning under Zacian’s tightening grip. Desperate to protect his family and reclaim his power, Dominic strikes a dangerous bargain with rival bosses, setting the stage for betrayal and bloodshed. As tensions ignite and loyalties fracture, Cecilia becomes the ultimate leverage; a pawn in a game she never knew existed. But Zacian doesn’t see her as a pawn. He sees her as his weakness. And in a world where kings burn kingdoms for love, innocence may be the deadliest weapon of all.

Thirty Six: The First PerformanceCecilia POVThe hour felt like a lifetime and a second all at once. I spent it not in idle waiting, but in mental rehearsal. I ran through every possible scenario for my upcoming calls. I practiced the lines in my head, not just the ones he would give me, but the ones I might want to subtly slip in. I would be a model student, a dedicated volunteer. I would be so perfectly, boringly normal that no one would suspect a thing. And in that perfection, I would find my cracks.A sharp, double knock on the door pulled me from my planning. It wasn't Zacian's single, commanding rap. This was different. Professional. Efficient.I opened it to find two men standing in the hallway. They were broad-shouldered and expressionless, dressed in simple, black tactical pants and plain, dark polo shirts with a small, discreet logo I didn't recognize ove
Thirty Five: A Viper in a CageCecilia POVI didn't know how long I lay there. Time had lost its meaning, compressed into the space between one shuddering breath and the next. The world had shrunk to the rough texture of the duvet against my cheek and the phantom taste of cold, greasy soup that coated the back of my throat, a viscous reminder of my submission.He was gone. The weight of his body, the scent of cedar and leather, the low, dangerous rumble of his voice. All of it had receded, leaving a vacuum so profound it felt like a physical pressure against my skin. The silence was the worst part. It was thick, heavy, and filled with the echoes of his power.

It was all noise. A dull, distant hum compared to the roaring silence coming from the monitor showing the master suite.She hadn't moved.For three hours, she'd been a statue on the edge of the bed, a small figure swallowed by my gray t-shirt. The soup I'd left was cold now, the surface congealed into a greasy film. A perfect, pathetic symbol of her defiance. It was an insult.
