"Where is my assistant?" he demanded, his voice cutting through the silence. "I'm here," came a hesitant reply that stirred something unfamiliar in his chest. When he turned, his blood ran cold. Shayan West—the woman he'd spent years trying to forget—stood before him. Her pulse quickened as recognition struck. Five years. Five years since she'd last seen Kel Adrios, the man who'd shattered her world and disappeared from it entirely. Shayan's carefully constructed life crumbles the moment Kel walks through her office door as her new boss. Their shared history bristles with betrayal, misunderstanding, and secrets neither is willing to confront. Forced into close quarters, old wounds resurface alongside unexpected desire. Can they untangle the lies that tore them apart, or will revenge consume what might have been their second chance? In a game where proximity feeds passion and hatred masks deeper feelings, nothing is certain—least of all their hearts.
