Three years ago, Hazel Vance made a choice that changed everything. One night of passion with a mysterious stranger at a masquerade ball left her with more than just memories—it left her with a son whose rare violet-blue eyes are a constant reminder of the father she'll never find.

Now a struggling single mother, Hazel desperately needs the executive assistant position at Sterling Group. The salary could finally give her two-year-old Leo the life he deserves. But her new boss, CEO Liam Sterling, is nothing like she expected.

Demanding, brilliant, and devastatingly handsome, Liam has a reputation for being impossible to work for. Most assistants don't last a week. When Hazel refuses to be intimidated by his cold demeanor and sharp tongue, something shifts between them. The attraction is immediate and electric, crackling through every professional interaction.

But it's his eyes that stop her cold. The same striking violet-blue shade that stares back at her every morning when she looks at her son.

As the tension between them builds and the lines between professional and personal begin to blur, Hazel finds herself caught between her desperate need for this job and her growing attraction to the one man who could destroy everything she's worked for.

She doesn't know that Liam has been searching for the mysterious woman from the masquerade ball ever since that night changed him forever. And he has no idea that the composed, fiery assistant who challenges him at every turn is the same woman who haunts his dreams.

When the truth finally comes to light, will it bring them together or tear apart the fragile new life Hazel has built for herself and her son?

Chapter 70 - Friends Planning Perfect Revenge


My friends stared at me like I had completely lost my mind when I confessed that I had slipped out of Liam's bed before dawn, leaving nothing but a handwritten goodbye note on his pillow.


"So now that I've written that final goodbye, he'll probably move on and forget I ever existed. Meanwhile, I'm drowning in misery worse than before," I finished, feeling my chest tighten with the weight of my own words.


"Matthew Emmanuel, Hazel! Listen, what went down between you two was brutal, but honey, you don't just stumble across a man who flips your entire universe like that every day," Stella shot back, her voice sharp with frustration.


"Anyone with functioning eyeballs can see what you two have is lightning in a bottle! The way that man devours you with his eyes, sweetheart, he's head over heels in love with you!" Scarlett jumped in, gesturing wildly with her wine glass.
