Bound by Interest

Cordelia never cared about powerful men.

As a sharp-minded reporter at Veritas Press, she's more interested in secrets than status-and Alexander Wystan becomes the most dangerous mystery she's ever encountered.

After suddenly reviving the collapsing Wystan Empire in a single day, Alexander becomes the country's newest obsession: untouchable CEO, heir to a billion-dollar diamond empire, and a man surrounded by rumours no one can explain.

Everyone wants a story about his success.

Cordelia wants the truth.

But the deeper she digs into the empire's past, the stranger everything becomes:
missing years,
vanishing records,
investors who returned too quickly,
and secrets hidden beneath luxury, power, and perfect smiles.

Alexander Wystan is calm, intelligent, and impossible to read.

And for some reason-
he seems just as interested in her.

What begins as an interview slowly turns into a dangerous game of curiosity, tension, and psychological attraction between two people who refuse to look away from each other.

But while Cordelia gets closer to uncovering the truth behind the Wystan Empire, mysterious sticky notes begin appearing inside her apartment.

"LOOK OUT FOR HIM."

Now the question is no longer who Alexander Wystan really is.

It's whether getting close to him was a mistake from the beginning.
