Say my name like a curse

He used to whisper her name like a promise. Now he spits it like a curse.

Ronald Parker—billionaire, ruthless, untouchable—never forgot the girl who destroyed him. When fate brings her into his office as his new secretary, revenge is all he craves. But when hatred burns too close to desire, and memories begin to feel like temptations... one thing becomes dangerously clear:

Love never died. It just learned how to hurt.

They say time heals all wounds—but what if time just teaches you how to bleed better?
