She saw me when I was trapped—my father's pawn, shaped by his tough rules.

She was different, a secretary who cared.

One night, we connected, until his sudden death put me in charge—and turned me into someone she couldn't stand.

She left; I rose. Then a wedding twisted us—step-siblings, her hiding my child.

She's brighter now, and I'm pulled back in.

Wealth and rebellion drive me, and I ache for her.

Scandal loomed, so I dropped the empire, took her and our secret, and ran.

No more of his shadow—just her, me, and a life out of reach, ours forever.
