Damien Cross built his empire on power, control, and calculated revenge. Cold, ruthless, untouchable—he never forgave betrayal, and Ryan Hastings had committed the ultimate sin. Damien has spent years waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Then Chloe Bennett walks into his world. Smart, confident, completely unaware that she’s just become his greatest weapon. She’s here for business, but Damien sees an opportunity—one that will bring Ryan to his knees.

She was never supposed to matter. She was never supposed to get under his skin. But the deeper he pulls her into his game, the more she consumes him. Chloe fights him at every turn, challenging him in ways no one else ever has. And for the first time in his life, Damien is losing control.

Revenge was everything—until her.

Now, Damien is faced with an impossible choice: destroy the man who betrayed him or surrender to the woman who just might be his ruin.

She was supposed to be his leverage. Instead, she’s becoming his obsession.

Fated To Be His Obsession

Sienna sat at the edge of Ryan's unmade bed, the morning sun creeping in through the slats of his blinds. The apartment was quiet—too quiet. Ryan had left early, claiming he needed to run errands. No kisses, no coffee, not even a "see you later." Just a rushed departure and a trail of silence that felt like a ghost brushing past her shoulder.

She should've gone home last night. She should've walked away the moment he lied about the job interview. But something in her refused to leave—not when she knew he was hiding something.

Her eyes scanned the room again. Jeans tossed over a chair. The faint scent of his cologne in the air. His black coat still hanging by the door. He hadn't worn it this morning, she realized. It was the same one he wore yesterday—when he left for that mysterious "interview."

Sienna stood, walked over, and slipped her hand into the pocket.

There was a key, a wallet, and an unsealed envelope.
