BLACKMAILED BY THE BILLIONAIRE by Deeall2024

To the world, Harry Styles is untouchable-a billionaire playboy whose charm, wealth, and good looks make him the man everyone wants but no one can have. Arrogant and demanding, he lives in a world of excess, and his assistant Bella is the one holding it all together. But to Bella, Harry is a storm she's forced to weather-his ego as massive as his empire and his control over her life absolute. The breaking point comes when Bella, overwhelmed and desperate for freedom, attempts to resign. Her bid for escape is crushed by Harry's ruthless maneuver: a threat to expose a secret that could devastate her family and imprison her father. Trapped by the weight of potential scandal, Bella is left with no choice but to agree to his terms-one more year in his service. A year of late nights, impossible demands, and a boss who seems to delight in making her life miserable. But things take a darker turn when Harry's pride and arrogance lead to a high-stakes bet with his inner circle. Ben, a shrewd observer of human nature, notices that Bella seems immune to Harry's legendary charm and wealth. Doubting Harry's claim that no one is beyond his reach, Ben challenges him to seduce Bella-an impossible conquest. Harry, with his signature sardonic grin, makes a bold declaration: "Believe me, if I set my sights on Bella, she'd be interested. Everyone has a price, every heart has a key. I simply haven't bothered to look for hers." The terms are simple: if Harry succeeds in breaking through Bella's defenses and winning her over, he secures a lucrative investment and solidifies his dominance. If he fails, he risks losing a substantial share of his empire-a loss Harry refuses to consider. What starts as a calculated game of seduction soon spirals into something far more dangerous. As Harry works to unravel Bella, he begins to question whether he's the one being unraveled. And for Bella, resisting Harry's relentless pursuit means guarding not just her heart, but everything she holds dear.
