How do you keep the man in your life when he's the CEO of a multinational corporation and a billionaire?

EVA

Tristan began to drift away the day he hired Audrey Desprez, his new assistant. Beautiful, brilliant, and confident, she embodies both novelty and the intoxication of first emotions. And while he allows himself to be enchanted, I fight to save what still binds us.

How do you preserve love when you're the only one who believes in it? At what point should you let go? And what about this secret that could change everything?

TRISTAN

The empire I built with Eva and my best friends is under attack from all sides. Hostile takeover attempt, cyberattacks... I struggle to protect what we've built, but in the midst of this chaos, I falter. My certainties collapse, my feelings become confused. What if my story with Eva has reached its end? As my doubts grow, another possibility presents itself. Another choice. Another life.

Will I be able to listen to my heart before it's too late? When family, work, and temptation conspire against them, will Tristan and Eva manage to save their love... or must they accept the inevitable?

Excerpt:

"Tell me, Tristan... do you think Audrey would still be so interested in you if you weren't the CEO of a multinational corporation?" My voice was sharp as a blade. "Do you think she would have shown the same determination to seduce you if you had neither power nor fortune? Or... do you really believe she loves you sincerely? That she finds you... wonderful?"

His expression instantly closed, a flash of anger briefly shining in his eyes. This blind loyalty made me sick.

"She's not like that!" he protested. "You don't know her."

"But you know her well, don't you?" I retorted, my voice trembling with contained rage. "Very intimately, even..."

He opened his mouth, but I didn't give him time to deny it. "Tell me, Tristan, when did you make love to her for the first time? Was it in New York? Or... yesterday, in your office?"

His face crumbled. His eyes widened in horror as he understood. He turned pale suddenly, as if all his blood had drained at once, while my tears, those traitors, still flowed for a man who didn't deserve them.

"Eva... I don't know what you saw, but I swear I pushed her away," he pleaded, his voice hoarse.

I wanted to believe him. I would have given anything for it to be true. But how could I? Not when he was still defending her so passionately just seconds before.

"Please, Eva, believe me."

I let out a bitter laugh. A painful laugh. "Why should I believe you? I stopped being your priority a long time ago... I was just too blind to see it."
