When Victoria Garcia accepted Arnold Johnson's contract, she never anticipated the consequences. Three years was supposed to be the agreement—a buffer, a boundary, a promise. But Arnold Johnson doesn't make promises he intends to keep. "You're impossible! You swore you'd wait!" Victoria's voice cracked with betrayal. "Waiting becomes harder when opportunity knocks, Victoria." The tension between them ignites again on another midnight encounter. "You disgust me!" Xiu Xiangwan's voice breaks as she confronts him. "Then pray I never show you my worst." As the second son of the Johnson family—one of the six most powerful business dynasties—Arnold Johnson earned his reputation through ruthlessness. Whispers follow him: ambitious, calculating, even accused of orchestrating his brother's demise to claim Johnson Holdings for himself. Victoria Garcia came to Arnold's world broken. Her family's fortune crumbled, her mother faced prison, and desperation drove her to sign away her freedom. A slave contract became her sacrifice. A tyrant became her only hope.
