Corrupted

Hannah has her whole life arranged-colour-coded, written down, and controlled to the minute. High school. College. University. A straight line to the future she promised herself. No detours. No setbacks.

Then everything snaps.

Jobless. In debt. One bad week away from losing what little she has left. She thinks life can't sink any lower-until she collides with a stranger in a suit that screams filthy-rich snob, and he looks at her like she's an inconvenience he could erase.

Hayden Hunter is moody, arrogant, and mean in a way that feels deliberate-like cruelty is a language he's fluent in. He's also devastatingly handsome, the kind of man people make excuses for... but Hannah is far too stubborn to be intimidated. She's quick-witted, sharp-tongued, and smart-exactly the kind of woman who doesn't back down. They clash instantly, trading insults like it's a sport, and within minutes they can't stand each other.

Then Hayden steps in and saves her from something she can't undo.

Suddenly Hannah owes him.

Taking a job working for Hayden Hunter should be simple: keep her head down, do the work, collect the pay cheque, and rebuild her life. Instead, it's a daily war of bickering, tension, and boundaries Hannah keeps swearing she won't cross-until the line between hate and want starts blurring in all the ways she promised herself it never would.

But Hayden has a past he keeps buried, and enemies who have been waiting for an opening.

And Hannah-messy, outspoken, and entirely unprepared-has just become it.
