"When you have the courage to conquer your fears, you have the ability to conquer the world."

Robert Harper, a man in his fifties and CEO of Harper Inc, hires Sarah Brooks to be his assistant. But he doesn't realize that this was actually a part of Sarah's plan. The real reason she's in the company is to uncover the truth of a terrible incident that took place years back, for a mission that she'd been obsessed with for years; one that nobody knows or can imagine. 

Sarah manages to keep the whole thing a secret until she meets Kevin Harper, Robert's nephew, who also works at Harper Inc. After a slip up and an unexpected event that almost shatters the company's reputation, Kevin gets a whiff of suspicion on Sarah. As they discreetly set out to find answers, Sarah and Kevin are unknowingly thrown into a whirlwind of conflicting truths and twisted motives. The tension between the two becomes palpable as horrifying truths come to light.

When Kevin discovers something so appalling and nerve-wracking that it threatens to tear everything apart, including himself, he comes to a terrible decision.

His fingers were still gently holding her chin. He wanted that night to be different, he wanted to allow himself to feel things, for just one evening. She cast her eyes down. "I'm not hiding." "Then look at me, Sophia..." She took in a deep breath and drew her eyes upwards, looking at him through her mascara laced lashes. His fingers fluttered across her skin and he placed his palm gently on her cheek. He brought his face closer and rested his forehead on hers as if he were trying to fight the pull between them. "What are you doing to me?" His voice was barely a whisper.

74 parts Complete Mature

Heather Drake is a 22 year old who is hiding from her past and trying to start a new life in California. She is going to be starting with a new career as a teacher at a private school. She is beautiful & witty and doesn't stand for bullshit. Who wouldn't notice her?.. What happens though when she catches the eye of someone who doesn't want to let her go... Who is attached at first sight and wants nothing else but her. Xavier Sanford is a 25 year old billionaire CEO who is also a single father. He also is a very dangerous man if need be and takes what he wants. He doesn't believe in relationships since they all disappear in the end however all it took was one glance at a bombshell beauty and he knew... she was HIS. Preview: "You will be mine Miss Drake and I do not share." I state sternly. "Release my arm Mr. Sanford before I force you to." She states giving me a fake smile. I smirk at her. She takes her other hand and squeezes my wrist before twisting it in a painful position. I hiss in pain. "Don't underestimate me Mr. Sanford." She whispers in my ear before gently pushing me away from her. I shake my hand and look back at her. "This is the only time I will allow you to walk away from me Miss Drake." She turns and glares at me. "Mr. Sanford, I am no possession of yours. " She pushes the classroom door open and leaves me standing there.
