  The evening had settled over city, casting long shadows across the sleek surfaces of Thorn Enterprises. Aiden Thorn’s office, though dimly lit by the city lights streaming through the glass walls, was a hive of activity. Aiden, despite the day’s events, was not finished with his work. He had instructed his assistant, Maria, to prepare a detailed dossier on James Hart, his business, finances, and family.

  Aiden sat at his desk, the large mahogany surface scattered with documents and financial reports. He was deep in thought, his mind already churning over the intricacies of the new partnership and the potential leverage it offered. Maria entered with a thick folder and placed it carefully on the desk before Aiden.

  “Here is the information you requested, Mr. Thorn,” Maria said, her voice steady and professional. “It includes details on Hart Industries’ financials, market position, and personal information about James Hart and his family.”

  Aiden gave a curt nod, dismissing her with a wave of his hand.

  As Maria exited the room, Aiden opened the folder, methodically scanning through the financial statements and business strategies of Hart Industries. He noted the various investments, market share, and projected growth—impressive figures that justified James Hart’s confidence. But it was the section on the Hart family that captured his attention.

  Flipping through the pages, Aiden came across detailed profiles of James Hart’s children, including their roles within the company and their personal lives. And then, there it was—the photograph and biography of Evelyn Hart. His heart skipped a beat as he saw the same gentle smile and soft eyes that had captivated him outside the library.

  He read through Evelyn’s profile, noting her age, background, and hobbies. The realization hit him like a jolt of electricity—this woman, whom he had been thinking about so obsessively, was James Hart’s daughter. The significance of this connection was not lost on him.

  Aiden’s eyes narrowed as he absorbed the implications. Evelyn Hart was not just a passing interest; she was now a key player in his strategic plans. The idea of leveraging her in the name of business had taken on a new dimension. If he could manage to intertwine her fate with his own, he could control not only the Hart family’s influence but also make a significant statement about his dominance.

  A cunning smile began to form on his lips as he considered his options. The arrangement he had just secured with James Hart was more than a business deal—it was a gateway. And Evelyn Hart could be the perfect leverage to ensure that he remained at the helm of the partnership.

  He picked up Evelyn’s photograph, holding it up to the light. Her innocent, almost naive demeanor was strikingly out of place in the ruthless world he navigated. But that very innocence could be used to his advantage. He would need to be careful, though—subtle, yet decisive.

  Aiden began to draft a strategy in his mind. He envisioned a plan where Evelyn would become an integral part of the deal, a way to ensure that James Hart remained loyal and that Thorn Enterprises gained the upper hand. By bringing Evelyn into the fold, Aiden could create a sense of obligation and dependence that would further cement his control over the alliance.

  His thoughts crystallized into a plan: he would position himself as a benevolent benefactor, showing interest in Evelyn’s future while subtly maneuvering her into a more personal role within his life. The marriage proposal, when it came, would be framed as a mutually beneficial arrangement—a way to strengthen ties between their families and ensure their combined success.

  As Aiden formulated his approach, he knew he would need to tread carefully. Evelyn would need to be handled with a blend of charm and manipulation. She was a pawn in his game, but a valuable one. He would need to ensure that she saw this union as a positive step, even as he used it to tighten his grip on the power dynamic.

  He set the photograph down, his smirk widening into a satisfied grin. The pieces were falling into place, and with Evelyn Hart as a central element of his strategy, the future of Thorn Enterprises looked even more promising.

  Aiden leaned back in his chair, feeling a sense of anticipation. The game was on, and he was ready to play. The alliance with James Hart was just the beginning. With Evelyn as part of the equation, Aiden’s plans would be set into motion, and nothing would stand in his way.
