You had been by his side since you were eighteen—Raphael Hans, the most powerful billionaire CEO in the country.

By day, you were his most trusted and efficient secretary. By night… you were the secret he kept behind locked doors—his obsession, his release, the object of his carnal desire.

For five years, you gave him everything—your youth, your loyalty, your heart—clinging to the silent hope that one day, he would make you his, not just in private, but in the eyes of the world.

You never asked for promises. Just… a place by his side.

One night, after your bodies tangled in breathless passion, he left your shared bed as always—without a word.

You took a quiet bath, letting the steam calm your aching thoughts. But just as you stepped out, the soft hum of the TV caught your attention.

“Breaking news: Billionaire CEO Raphael Hans announces his engagement to the daughter of tycoon Augustus Virelli.”

The towel slipped from your fingers. Your heart froze.

Engaged?

The man who whispered your name every night… had chosen someone else.
