Growing up, I had it all—wealth, love, a future mapped out. But when my parents were killed under mysterious circumstances, my perfect world shattered. Thrust into a foster family, I found solace in simplicity and worked hard to build a life on my terms. High school wasn’t easy, though. Roman Thorne was part of it—charming, brilliant, and out of reach. We were from different worlds, and while he was adored by everyone, I was too busy surviving to care. Or so I thought.

Now, years later, I’m an assistant at an exclusive agency, tasked with managing high-profile clients. When I was assigned to Roman Thorne, Hollywood’s brightest star, I thought it was a joke. How could I work with someone who once barely acknowledged me? Roman, with those piercing green eyes and his signature smirk, is as magnetic as ever—only now, he’s even more untouchable. Fame has refined his confidence into something razor-sharp, making it impossible to tell where the man ends and the persona begins. My first day wasn’t exactly smooth. At noon, I found myself on set, awkwardly holding a tray of espresso shots as I watched Roman rehearse. The moment he noticed me, his eyes flicked over me, sharp and calculating, before he walked over, effortlessly commanding attention. He leaned in slightly, his voice low but clear enough to send a chill through me. "Didn’t think I’d see you again."
