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 withdrew my hand from Logan's grip. I didn't know where I found the strength to do that even though I was nervous and weak in front of him.

He had no right to do that! Because I will never understand him. I don't know what's holding him back from coming to me. I don't want to think it's because of the state of my life, but that's the only thing I can deduce.

He didn't follow me when I left. Maybe he realized the mistake of what he said to me. When Sophie found me, we hurriedly left.

Days passed, and I was thankful because Marcus texted me often. I was starting to forget about that incident. I just got annoyed with him because he rarely looked at me in the office.

"Good morning, Logan!" Marcus' voice echoed in the office as I cleaned.

The other heads of offices were also inside, and they had been discussing for a while about an investor that Logan allegedly refused but supposedly would help the company.
