Beneath the Silver Spoon

Alice has spent her life struggling to make ends meet. Orphaned at a young age, she works tirelessly at three minimum-wage jobs, just to keep the lights on in her cramped apartment. By day, she brews coffee at Starbucks, by night, she waits tables at Giovanis, a luxurious restaurant owned by the wealthiest family in Luxaria-the Mandellas. Life feels like a never-ending hustle, but Alice keeps going, determined to pay off the debts left by her late parents, even if it means sacrificing her own dreams.

Zack Mandella, the cold, ruthless CEO of the Mandella Group, is used to the finer things in life. The heir to a multi-billion-dollar empire, he spends his days commanding boardrooms and his nights surrounded by the best that money can buy. When he meets Alice at Giovanis, he sees her as just another face in the crowd-a waitress at his favorite restaurant. But Alice's resilience and quiet strength catch his attention, sparking something in him he can't quite explain.

As their paths continue to cross, an unlikely bond begins to form, one that will challenge everything Alice thought she knew about herself-and the world of privilege she serves. But as secrets start to unravel, Alice finds herself caught in a dangerous game, where trust is scarce, and loyalty is tested.

In a world where money means power and power means everything, Alice and Zack will have to decide what they're willing to sacrifice for love, justice, and a chance at something more.
