Shaik Anas Amaan

Anas is the hidden beast ruling the shadows of his world, cloaked in the guise of a charismatic business tycoon. As the youngest and most powerful CEO in London, he's merciless, calculating, and utterly fearless-a man who can take on a hundred foes single-handedly. Practicing Islam, he loves his family deeply, but he's haunted by the darkness that surrounds his life as an underworld kingpin, with influence stretching far beyond London's borders.

Hiding behind an innocent face, he's deadly in ways no one suspects. Liars and traitors face his wrath, and though he calls himself heartless, his iron resolve wavers the day he meets her.
