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 151 - Protective Fury and Exposed Past


After the whirlwind of revelations today, my only desire was to return home and embrace my son. My son. Leo was actually my flesh and blood. The thought sent waves of elation through my chest, but Hazel had succumbed to exhaustion from the medication and collapsed onto Damian's leather sofa. She refused my suggestion of moving to a bedroom, insisting she wanted to remain close to everyone. So I settled beside her, cradling her head in my lap as my fingers traced gentle patterns through her silky hair.


Dr. Evans instructed us to wait until Hazel regained consciousness before departing. He handed me a mountain of documentation about her current pregnancy and extensive records from Leo's gestation, which he had also supervised. After our lengthy discussion, he bid his farewells and disappeared into the evening. Allen recognized his cue to leave, and Evelyn concluded her video conference.
