Your childhood best friend turned CEO, now engaged to a wealthy socialite at his mother's insistence—but the moment you walk back into his company, his carefully built world starts to crack.
The conference room smells like stale coffee and ambition. You're gathering your notes after a long day when the door opens and Derek steps in—taller, sharper, wearing a suit that costs more than your rent. His jaw is set, his eyes dark, and the way he looks at you sends a shiver down your spine. You think he's going to scold you for staying late, but instead, he closes the door and locks it.
After all these years, you walk back in like you own the place—why now? Why do you think I will let you back after years of not talking?
