Chapter 2

The next morning, Alexander Harrington arrived at Harrington Tower earlier than usual. He had spent all night thinking about the girl he had seen yesterday, the one sweeping the street with quiet pride. He didn't know why she lingered in his thoughts, but he couldn't ignore the pull he felt.

When he stepped out, she was there again, bending over her cardboard box, collecting every scrap of paper as if it were treasure. Workers laughed quietly behind her back, but she moved like she owned the sidewalk, unfazed by their whispers.

Alexander straightened his suit and approached her, catching her attention for the first time. Her eyes widened slightly, a mix of caution and surprise, but she didn't step back.

"I see you here every morning," he said, his tone calm but firm. "Do you work around here, or...?"

She shook her head. "No, sir. I just... I pick up what others leave behind." Her voice was steady, but there was a subtle pride woven into every word.

Alexander studied her for a long moment, noting her careful movements, her resilience, and the way she held herself despite the teasing around her. He had seen many people in his life, people with money and connections, but she was different.

"I want you to come inside," he said suddenly. "We could use someone like you at Harrington Industries. There is work here, and you will be treated with respect."

She blinked, unsure if he was serious. "Inside... the office?"

"Yes," he said, straightening his shoulders. "You will start tomorrow. My assistant will show you the way."

Her lips pressed together. She had expected mockery, perhaps even dismissal, but not an offer from the CEO himself. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I'll try my best."

Alexander gave a small, satisfied nod and turned toward the lobby. As he walked away, he didn't notice a sleek car pulling up to the entrance. A young woman in designer clothes stepped out, her eyes scanning the scene with a sharp, calculating look. She paused for a moment, her gaze lingering on Alexander, and smiled faintly.

The game had just begun.

Betrayed By Him, Saved By His Uncle

On her wedding night at The Plaza Hotel, Clara went looking for her husband. Instead, she found him in the dimly lit parking garage, passionately pinning down her bridesmaid. She couldn't even scream or expose them. Just hours before the ceremony, Julian had tricked her into signing away her twenty percent shares of their co-founded company, leaving her completely penniless and unable to pay her grandmother's life-saving medical bills. Fleeing in absolute despair, a sudden hotel blackout plunged her into a second nightmare. She was dragged into a pitch-black room and brutally violated by a heavily drugged stranger. When a shattered Clara returned to the office to audit the books and reclaim her power, Julian demoted her to a dusty desk by the trash cans. He flaunted his mistress in the executive suite and deliberately sent Clara into a horrifying trap. He arranged for vicious clients to drug and assault her, demanding high-definition blackmail photos so he could divorce her with absolutely nothing. "Since you want to play rough, you can service Mr. Petrocelli tonight," the thug sneered, locking the VIP room door. Clara was pushed to the brink of hell. Why was the man she devoted three years of her life to trying to destroy her so completely? And why did the freezing cedarwood scent of the stranger who ruined her in the dark perfectly match Conrad Vance, the ruthless CEO and Julian's untouchable uncle? Rather than let Julian win, Clara smashed a glass bottle, held the jagged edge to her own throat to force the men back, and threw herself off the second-floor balcony into the freezing night. But the bone-crushing impact never came. A massive figure shot out from the shadows and caught her, and her brutal counterattack finally began.
