Cassidy Miles has never known an easy life. Tragedy follows her like a shadow, and after losing her mother, she is left completely alone at just 20 years old. Desperate to survive, she takes a janitorial job at the powerful Van der Bilt Corporation, hoping for a fresh start.

But instead of stability, she finds herself trapped in a dangerous game with Logan Van der Bilt—the ruthless CEO who seems determined to make her life even harder. What starts as a simple job soon unravels into a tangled web of secrets, betrayal, and shocking truths. As Cassidy is drawn deeper into a world she never expected, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to survive—and whether the price of the truth is too high to pay.

Bound to the Ruthless CEO

Careful, Cassidy. I'm sure Logan made a mistake with what he said. He couldn't possibly be inviting me to lunch. I'm his employee, and there's no reason for him to accompany me for a meal unless he has something important to tell me. I felt his reluctance as if he was forcing himself to do this, perhaps because he might regret it later.

"Sit." He commanded, pointing to a seat at his six-seater dining table.

I complied with his command, and the view of the towering buildings outside caught my eye. I swallowed as he sat in front of me, arranging the lunch from the cart. He had taken off his long-sleeve shirt earlier, now wearing just a white v-neck t-shirt. I watched him place the utensils on the tissue.

"Uh," I smiled, waiting for him to finish. "Are you going to fire me?"
