Chapter 1 - The Call That Changes Everything

Elena Moore’s phone rang like it hated her. Not the gentle buzz that meant a delivery was outside, or her brother was sending a stupid meme. This was the hard, sustained vibration that crawled across the cheap laminate counter of her tiny kitchen—loud enough to rattle the mug beside it. She stared at the screen.Unknown Number.At 2:11 a.m. Her chest tightened in that familiar, exhausted way, like her body had already learned to expect bad news and was simply saving itself the surprise.She swiped to answer. “Hello?”For a second there was only breathing. Then a woman’s voice—professional, clipped, practiced calm.“Is this Elena Moore?”“Yes.”“This is St. Catherine’s Emergency Department. You’re listed as the primary contact for Daniel Moore.”Everything inside Elena went cold.“Daniel?” Her voice broke on his name. “What happened?”“Your brother was brought in by ambulance about forty minutes ago. We need you to come in immediately.”Elena’s mind tried to skip ahead—tried to protect

Chapter 2 - The Man Behind the Name

By 9:47 a.m., Elena had learned a truth she didn’t want: Desperation makes you obedient. She left the hospital only because she had no idea what else to do. Daniel was still in surgery. There was nothing she could fix with her hands. Nothing she could buy with her empty bank account. So when a billionaire demanded her presence, she went.She didn’t bother going home. She washed her face in the hospital bathroom, shoved her hair into a tighter knot, and tried to scrub the panic out of her eyes. It didn’t work.Blackwood Group Headquarters rose from the city like a threat. Glass and steel. Clean lines. Guards at the entrance. The kind of building that didn’t just hold power— it radiated it. Elena stepped through the revolving doors and immediately felt out of place. The lobby was massive, silent except for the muted click of heels on polished stone. Everything smelled expensive—wood polish, crisp air-conditioning, perfume that wasn’t trying too hard because it didn’t need to.A receptio

Chapter 3 - Terms and Conditions

Elena didn’t sit. If she sat, she might accept the shape of this—might let the room convince her she belonged in it, that this was normal, that rich men could buy solutions and call it efficiency.“I’m not a thing,” she said, voice low.Adrian returned to his desk with measured steps. “No one said you were.”“You did,” Elena snapped. “In every word you didn’t bother to dress up.”Adrian’s expression remained unreadable. He pressed a button on his desk. The door behind Elena opened. Cynthia stepped in, carrying a slim black folder. She placed it on the desk and left without a sound.Adrian slid the folder toward Elena. “Read.”Elena stared at it. Her hands felt numb.“What is that?” she asked anyway.“The contract.”Elena let out a short, disbelieving laugh. “You already have a contract prepared?”Adrian’s eyes didn’t soften. “I don’t improvise.”Of course he didn’t.Elena’s gaze flicked to the folder, then back to him. “You’re insane.”“Read.”Elena took a step forward, lifted the fol

Chapter 4 - Refusal

Elena left Blackwood Group with the contract in her hands like it was radioactive. She didn’t know why she’d taken it—maybe because part of her needed proof that this had really happened, that she hadn’t hallucinated a billionaire offering to buy her life.Outside, the city looked the same. Cars moved. People laughed into their phones. Coffee shops opened. The world kept going while hers collapsed.She drove back to St. Catherine’s with her hands shaking on the steering wheel. Daniel was in ICU when she arrived. The nurses wouldn’t let her in immediately. They made her scrub her hands, put on a gown, sign more forms. Elena wanted to scream at them that she’d sign anything if they let her see him.When she finally stepped into the ICU, Daniel lay in a private room, surrounded by machines that beeped like they were counting his remaining chances. His eyes were closed. A bandage wrapped part of his head. His skin looked too pale against the stark white pillow.Elena walked to his bedside
