Chapter 1
Lila had always been a free spirit, her fiery red hair and bold personality making her impossible to ignore. But when she walked into the boardroom of Kane Enterprises, she wasn’t prepared for the man sitting at the head of the table.
Alexander Kane was everything she’d been warned about—cold, calculating, and devastatingly handsome. His piercing blue eyes locked onto hers, and for a moment, the world seemed to stop.
“Miss Carter,” he said, his voice low and smooth. “I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Lila’s heart raced, but she refused to let him see how much he affected her.
“All good things, I hope,” she replied, her voice steady despite the storm raging inside her.
Their first meeting was just the beginning.
Alexander was ruthless in business, his sharp mind and commanding presence making him a force to be reckoned with. But Lila was no pushover. She matched him at every turn, her wit and determination earning his respect—and something more.
The tension between them was palpable.
It was in the way his eyes followed her around the room, the way his touch lingered when he handed her a document. It was in the way she challenged him, her fiery spirit igniting something in him that he couldn’t ignore.
And then, one night, it all came to a head.
They were working late, the office empty except for the two of them. The air was thick with unspoken desire, the silence between them charged with electricity.
“Lila,” Alexander said, his voice rough with emotion.
She turned to him, her heart pounding in her chest. “Yes?”
He crossed the room in three strides, his hands cupping her face as he kissed her with a desperation that took her breath away.
“I can’t stay away from you,” he murmured against her lips.
And just like that, the lines between them began to blur.
As the weeks turned into months, Lila found herself falling for the man behind the mask.
Alexander was ruthless in business, but with her, he was different. He was tender, almost vulnerable, as if she were the only person who truly saw him.
But then, she found the letter.
It was tucked away in his desk, addressed to someone else—a woman whose name Lila didn’t recognize. The words were filled with longing, with regret, with a love that Alexander had never shown her.
Her heart shattered.
When she confronted him, his face was unreadable.
