PrincessKimberly
In the cutthroat halls of a powerhouse corporation ruled by the enigmatic CEO Lorenzo Volkov, 36, a 25-year-old Indian-Irish woman struggles to prove herself amid the pressure and fear he commands. Haunted by her ex-husband's toxic words about her weight, she's battling insecurities when a brutal discovery-his cheating-shatters her world. On that dark night, an unexpected presence becomes her silent refuge: Lorenzo, the one man she fears yet can't ignore. He's cold, unreachable... but maybe, just maybe, he sees her. As their paths entwine, a forbidden, slow-burning spark ignites-one they both fight to suppress, because neither is ready to surrender to the power of wanting someone. With every glance, the tension thickens; with every touch, the walls around their secrets begin to crumble. Can they navigate the treacherous landscape of desire, power, and vulnerability without losing themselves-or will the weight of their pasts tear them apart?
Lorenzo Volkov, a man cloaked in shadows, doesn't do vulnerability. The ruthless CEO has mastered the art of control, yet there's something about her-her quiet strength, her guarded eyes-that stirs a dormant intensity within him. He's drawn to her, though he won't acknowledge it, and she, still reeling from betrayal, isn't looking for rescue. But as the walls between them blur, the question becomes: can she trust the darkness of his world to lead her to light?
