Now.” Her hand trembled as she scrawled her name.

Evelisse Saint Laurent knew she had ruined everything the moment she became entangled with the infamous cold billionaire, Draven Virelli. Driven by her family’s greed and desperation for their approval, Evelisse did the unforgivable—she drugged the powerful billionaire and spent one reckless night in his bed.
