He destroyed everything I loved. Now he wants me.
Five years ago, Damien Cross was the golden boy protégé who learned everything from my father. Now he's the ruthless billionaire CEO systematically dismantling our family empire, piece by piece.
Sterling Industries built three generations of my family's legacy. But Damien doesn't just want our company, he wants our complete annihilation. Every hostile bid, every stolen contract, every calculated move is designed to make us bleed.
I should hate him. I do hate him.
So why does every confrontation in his boardroom leave me breathless? Why does his dark gaze strip away every defense I've built? And why can't I stop thinking about the boy who once promised to protect me from everything, including himself?
Damien thinks he's won. He thinks I'll surrender Sterling Industries without a fight.
He's about to learn that some wars are worth dying for, and some enemies are worth burning for.
In business, there are no rules. In revenge, there are no limits. But in love? There are no survivors.
I love how the author wrote the scene, it is very vivid. Liked how the chapter started, the funeral was a very captivating beginning!
