Sabrina Vance, a brilliant but fiercely independent woman, finds herself caught up in the harsh world of corporate power when she is compelled to work for the famed CEO Nathaniel Knight. Nathaniel, a powerful, cold, and enigmatic figure, is known for eliminating his foes and meddling with people's lives. However, Sabrina sees something beyond his frigid exterior—something that fills her with both fear and longing.

What began as a professional relationship quickly devolved into a lethal game of manipulation in which the lines between love, hatred, and obsession blurred. Sabrina becomes caught in Nathaniel's labyrinth of secrets, dark pasts, and a lethal family conflict. As she delves more into Nathaniel's world, she understands that trusting him might lead to either an all-consuming love or a trap that destroys everything she knows.

Tangled in Power

Nathaniel's words echoed in her mind—trust is a weapon.

She had always known he was dangerous, but now, she could feel it creeping into her skin like poison. The way he watched her, the way he tested her—it wasn't just business anymore. It was something else. Something darker.

By the time she arrived at the office, she had convinced herself to put it aside: work first, emotions later.

The office was too quiet. People were whispering, avoiding eye contact. A strange tension filled the air.

Sabrina made her way to her desk when she noticed an email flashing on her screen.

Subject: Urgent Meeting – Boardroom in 5 minutes.

Nathaniel's name was at the bottom.

She grabbed her tablet and hurried to the boardroom, her heels clicking against the marble floor. When she entered, Nathaniel was already there, along with several senior executives. The atmosphere was suffocating.

Nathaniel's gaze locked onto her. "Sit."

He slid a folder across the table. "Read it."

She hesitated before opening the file, and her blood became cold.

Inside was a leaked document—classified information about Knight Industries' upcoming merger. Information that only a handful of people had access to.

Information that had been sent from her work account.

Sabrina's breath caught. "This isn't—"

Nathaniel cut her off. "Someone leaked confidential data, and it came from your credentials." His voice was calm, but his eyes were sharp, dissecting her every movement.

Sabrina's hands trembled slightly as she turned the pages. This wasn't just a misunderstanding. This was a setup.

"I didn't do this," she said firmly.

Nathaniel leaned forward, his presence suffocating. "Then prove it."

Sabrina swallowed hard. She had no idea who was behind this, but one thing was clear—someone wanted to ruin her.

And if she didn't find out who, Nathaniel wouldn't hesitate to destroy her first.
