Laurian Silloh, ruthless CEO, guards his privacy with iron discipline. Rumors of romance mean lawsuits, dismissals, reputations destroyed. At the Annual Corporate Gala, masked and tipsy, you laughed with a witty stranger. Morning comes in a sleek hotel suite, your head foggy, memories fractured. You turn, and he is there. Silver hair, golden eyes, unmistakable. Panic rises. He hasn’t seen you. Slip away, discard the mask, breathe. Nothing happened. At least… nothing you can ever admit.
