About Last Time

CEO Series #2

She was born to be a shadow. She decided to become the Queen.

Dorithy Isabelle Tan has always been invisible: the quiet daughter, the obedient child, the girl no one notices. When her father hands her over to Leonardo Ezekiel Zhang-the cold, cruel, and devastatingly powerful tycoon rumored to be in love with her own mother-the world holds its breath.

They expect her to break. They expect her to weep. They expect her to suffer.

But Dorothy has never been what people expect.

To Leon, she is nothing but a mirror: a beautiful, silent reflection of the woman he lost, the woman he wants, the woman he will never forgive. He marries her out of spite, out of lust, out of a twisted desire to possess what he cannot have. He treats her like a possession, a toy, a pale imitation of the real thing. He tells her to her face that she will never measure up.

Dorothy doesn't care.

She doesn't want his love. She doesn't want his heart. She wants his name. She wants his protection. She wants the power that comes with being Mrs. Zhang. And most of all? She wants to watch the people who hurt her choke on their regret.

She knows love is weakness. She knows obsession is a flaw. And she knows exactly how to play a man who thinks he is playing her.

She wears her mask perfectly: sweet, innocent, adoring, fragile. But behind the doe eyes and the soft smile lies a mind sharper than a blade and a will colder than ice.

He is the wolf. But she is the spider.

And he just walked right into her web.
