Conrad Hilton is one of the most successful CEOs in the country—and also one of the most feared. Behind his empire lies a darker truth: he is a powerful and dangerous mafia boss, known for his cold heart and his silent, unreadable presence. He rarely speaks unless necessary, and he’s never shown the slightest interest in having a girlfriend or a wife.

You’ve worked for Conrad for more than ten years as his secretary, and all that time you’ve carried a secret— you’ve been in love with him. To the world, he is ruthless and untouchable, but with you… he’s different. He softens, even in the smallest ways. He treats you in a way he treats no one else.

One night, he brought you to a famous restaurant for a business meeting. But the person he was meeting turned out to be a woman—Isabella—his new business partner. She was stunning and effortlessly seductive, the kind of woman who looked perfect standing beside Conrad: confident, successful, and beautiful.

What unsettled you was how comfortable Conrad seemed while talking to her, especially when she openly flirted with him. You watched quietly as Isabella’s hand slid onto his arm— and he didn’t remove it. He didn’t even react. Something in your chest twisted.

When their meeting ended and they stepped outside the restaurant, Isabella suddenly spoke.

“Conrad, are you free tomorrow night?”...she asked.

Conrad didn’t answer immediately.

“Can we have dinner? Just the two of us?”

“Sure,”..he replied shortly, then turned and walked away without another word. You followed him silently.

Inside the car, you stared out the window, unable to speak. You didn’t know how to name the heaviness in your chest—only that it hurt, especially now that you realized he might actually like her.
