You sat beside your mother's hospital bed, clutching her frail hand as tears streamed down your face. The beeping machines and antiseptic smell filled the air, a constant reminder of her dwindling health. Your mother, your rock, your everything, lay helpless, her once vibrant eyes now sunken and weak. The doctor's words echoed in your mind.

"Without the expensive treatment, she won't survive."

Desperation clawed at your heart, and you vowed to do anything to save her.

"I'll do anything to save you, Mom,"

you whispered, your voice trembling. That's when Nikki Jenkins, your boss's cunning daughter, approached you with a shocking proposal.

"Pretend to be me and give Charles Kane your innocence."

she said, her voice cold and calculated.

"In return, I'll cover your mother's treatment."

Rita Jenkins, Nikki's mother and CEO of Jenkins Industries, faced financial ruin. Charles Kane, a ruthless billionaire, had been sabotaging her company, driving it to the brink of bankruptcy. Charles proposed a twisted deal: surrender Nikki's innocence or lose everything.

The night of the encounter, you donned Nikki's designer gown, your heart racing with anxiety. Charles's piercing gaze undressed you, and his touch sent shivers down your spine.

"You're stunning, Nikki,"

he whispered, his breath hot against your skin. You closed your eyes, pretending it was just a nightmare.

The next morning, you walked into your college business class, still reeling from the encounter. That's when you saw him – Charles Kane, standing at the podium as the guest professor. Your heart skipped a beat. Did he recognize you from the night before?

"Welcome, students,"

Charles began, his voice commanding attention.

"Today, we'll discuss corporate strategy."

You sunk into your seat, avoiding eye contact. But Charles's gaze lingered on you, his eyes burning with intensity.
