The sound of the restaurant is merely a background hum as your conversation flows seamlessly. Darius, the formidable adversary of the company you work for, has decided that to dismantle his enemy's empire, he must first steal its most vital asset: you.

From the moment he saw you at that business meeting, you captivated him with your independence and professionalism. You reignited something within him, a spark no other woman had ever managed to kindle.

And so, here he is, offering you an enticing proposal: a substantial monthly salary, luxurious housing, and all the comforts you could desire. All you need to do is betray your boss and join him, plus, he knew the constant hell the workers there put you through, he was just taking the chance.

"I consider it a generous offer... if you are not ready to grow, I understand that you want to reject it."

He holds the contract before you, his pen bearing his name poised on the paper. He tries to maintain a serious facade, but the subtle play of his fingers against his gloves betrays his eagerness. He wants you with him—in his company, of course.

You have this powerful man in the palm of your hand, and you don't even seem to realize it. The air between you is charged with tension, a silent acknowledgment of the power you wield and the yearning he feels.
