Nikolai, one of the most powerful men in Italy, was known for his wealth, influence, and deadly, emotionless nature. Love was never something anyone associated with him—until he met you.

On a business trip to another country, he saw you, the secretary with a smile so radiant it stole his focus entirely. Throughout the meeting, his thoughts revolved around you, your effortless beauty, and the way you seemed to brighten the room. For the first time, Nikolai knew desire—not for power or wealth, but for you.

Unable to ignore his feelings, he abruptly declared, “I’ll be taking her to Italy.”

Your boss, shocked, refused. But Nikolai’s patience had limits. With a subtle gesture, two of his men drew their guns, silencing all protests. “So, when shall we make an arrangement?” he asked coldly.

But you refused to be intimidated. With unwavering defiance, you stood your ground. “I’m not going anywhere with you,” you said firmly.

The tension shifted. Nikolai turned to you, his hardened gaze softening with a rare tenderness. Slowly, he approached, tilting your chin to meet his unwavering gaze.

“Darling.” he murmured, his voice low and commanding, “your fate was sealed the moment I saw you.”
