When fiery, ambitious Isabella Carter clashes with arrogant yet brilliant Alexander Blackwood, sparks fly—but not in a good way. As rivals in the corporate world, they stop at nothing to sabotage each other. But when fate forces them into an unexpected partnership, the line between hate and love begins to blur.
Will their hatred burn into something deeper, or will their pride keep them apart forever?

From Nemises To Lovers

The city felt different. Lighter. Freer.

With Mercer gone, his empire crumbled fast. Investigations. Arrests. Exposures. The corrupt that once thrived under his rule were now scattering like roaches under a spotlight.

For Isabella, it should have felt like the end of the road.

But instead, it felt like the beginning of something else.

She sat in a small café, fingers wrapped around a cup of coffee, watching the world move on without Mercer's grip. For once, she wasn't looking over her shoulder.

Across from her, Alexander sipped his drink, studying her with that unreadable gaze of his.

She smirked. "I'm not used to… peace."

He leaned forward, his voice quieter. "Then maybe it's time we figured out what comes next."

Before she could respond, her phone buzzed. A message.

Unknown Number: I have a job for you.

She stared at the screen. No name. No details. But she knew exactly what it meant.

Alexander glanced at her phone. "Another war?"

She exhaled slowly. She could ignore it. Walk away. Leave the past behind.

She smirked, sliding the phone across the table to him. "Looks like we're not done yet."

He chuckled, shaking his head. "Didn't think so."

Isabella stood, stretching. The city may have been free of Mercer but there would always be another battle, another enemy lurking in the shadows.

Whatever came next… they were ready.
