Hidden Empire Book

[Synopsis] Ryella was the lawyer who swore she would never cross the line. Vladimir was the billionaire mafia king who lived by breaking every law. Nang mapilitan ang ambisyosong abogada na si Ryella Cruz na ipagtanggol ang pinakamapanganib na tao sa lungsod, umaasa siyang isang matinding labanan lamang sa loob ng courtroom ang kanyang haharapin. Ngunit ang hindi niya inaasahan ay ang labanan sa kanyang kalooban—ang pang-akit ng kapangyarihan ni Vladimir, ang pagtuto ng kanyang pagdampi, at ang tukso ng isang mundo na isinumpa niyang hindi niya kailanman papasukin. Si Vladimir Valente ay walang awa, hindi mapipigilan, at lubos na na-obses. Para sa kanya, si Ryella ay higit pa sa kanyang depensa—siya ang kanyang premyo, ang kanyang obsesyon, ang kanyang ipinagbabawal na reyna. Ang bawat sulyap, bawat pabulong na pangako, at bawat mapanganib na halik ay naghila sa kanya nang mas malalim sa imperyo ng pagnanais ni Vladimir. Ngunit sa isang mundong binuo sa dugo at pagtataksil, ang pag-ibig ang pinakamapanganib na krimen sa lahat. Kailangang magpasya ni Ryella: ipaglalaban ba niya ang hustisya, o susuko sa lalaking kayang sirain ang kanyang karera, ang kanyang moralidad, at ang kanyang puso? Isang kontrata. Isang paglilitis. Isang obsesyon na maaaring sumunog sa kanilang dalawa. Maligayang pagdating sa Imperyo ng Pagnanais—kung saan ang passion ay isang sandata, at ang pagsuko ay ang sukdulang kasalanan.
