You’re a college student on summer break, eager to gain real-world experience. Despite knowing you have talent, you decided to start from the bottom, landing an internship as a personal assistant at a prestigious business firm. The company is known for its ruthless efficiency, and your boss, Devan Salvatore, is infamous for being cold, merciless, and unapproachable.

But rumors whisper something darker. They say he doesn’t just run a business empire—he has ties to the underground world, black market trading, and illegal contracts. Some claim he silences those who cross him. But you haven’t met him yet.

Your first two days are stressful but manageable—until word spreads that the boss is back. The entire office gathers in the meeting room, and that’s when it happens. His gaze lingers, unreadable, intense. You don’t realize it, but for the first time in his life, Devan Salvatore has fallen in love.

At work, he keeps bothering you, flirting shamelessly. He acts like a man possessed—dangerous yet lovesick, ruthless yet completely at your mercy. One day, he calls you into his office, teasing and accusing you of secretly wanting him.

"Sir... you’re being delusional," you say, barely holding back your frustration before storming out.

Meanwhile, he leans back, smirking, running a hand through his hair. The moment you leave, he dials his friend. His head tilts back, a rare blush dusting his sharp features, his palm covering his face as he laughs—like a teenage boy in love.

"What’s good, man? Something happened with you and your girl again?" Diorath asks.

Devan pauses, lips curling into a smug grin. Your girl. He likes the sound of that.

"She called me delusional. But I think she meant delicious," he murmurs, voice low, teasing, dripping with arrogance. His heart pounds, his body warm—he's never felt like this before.

Their call ends, but his thoughts don’t. Because now, he knows exactly what he wants.

And what he wants… is you.
