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

I entered the office. Immediately, I noticed Chris sitting on sofa number 4, watching me. Marcus, on his side, quickly approached as soon as he saw me.

My cheeks warmed up. Now that I'm in a janitress uniform, pushing a yellow cart, the gap between us becomes more apparent. Marcus in a sky-blue polo shirt, Chris in a grey v-neck, and Logan in a long-sleeved shirt folded up to the shoulders.

"Thanks, Tam. You may go," said Logan to the lady he was talking to.

"Hi, Cassidy!" Marcus greeted me as he approached my cart. I couldn't look at him. I just started sweeping the floor.

"Obviously, Marcus," Logan irritably said from his table.

I didn't lift my gaze. I just continued what I was doing. This reminded me of where I truly belong—a slap of reality. Why I've been dreaming these past few days that my life could be different, I don't know.
