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.

<p>I want to think that Sophie is just being paranoid and that her perspective is exaggerated. But I also consider why I would think that Sophie is paranoid when I myself share the same perspective. I want to believe that Sophie is wrong about Logan, but I'm annoyed with myself because I'm still hoping even though I know I shouldn't. Fortunately, Logan became busy with board meetings and other things the next day. When he's not tired, he has many conversations, making the days pass quickly for me.</p>
