Sabrina Auburn never dreamed that her humble life as a housemaid would thrust her into the glittering yet icy world of the elite Thompsons. Between the shadows, she secretly admired Benedict Thompson-the amazing, arrogant Billionaire and CEO of BMX Estates. For him, she harbored a secret crush-to him. But one stormy night changed everything. Benedict forced himself on Sabrina, igniting a scandal that shook both families to their very foundations. Sabrina was left humiliated and trapped in an arranged marriage orchestrated by Benedict’s mother, all to shield their family’s reputation. "How can I marry her? I don't even love her and I will never love her. You know my type, Mom." From that moment on, Sabrina became the target of Benedict's contempt.He refused to love her, hurled insults her way but Sabrina endured his bitterness and her unreturned love. Then came a staggering twist: a betrayal that threatened to dismantle the Thompson family’s empire, revealing Sabrina’s true lineage and a fortune that would forever alter the balance of power. Years later,Sabrina emerges stronger, fiercer, and wealthier than ever as the CEO of her global luxury bag empire, Sabrina Ultra. No longer the naïve girl once cast aside. But when Benedict finds himself confronting the destruction of his own empire, crossing paths with her once more, he is stunned by what he has lost: the woman he could never claim, the son he would never know existed. As Benedict fights for his last chance at regaining Sabrina's heart, Will she forgive the man who has broken her heart, or is it too late for a second chance? Is Sabrina really going to let Benedict know that he has a son named Saben, or is she keeping it locked away in her heart forever?
View MoreAt home, Eliana lay on the couch, sifting through her emails as Saben strode back and forth in the living room."I do not like it," Saben growled. "You must stay under the radar, not fight a business war with Nathaniel Harper."Eliana didn't look up. "I'm not fighting one. I'm closing one."Saben groaned, running his fingers through his hair. "Do you even hear yourself? You sound like—""A businesswoman fighting for her empire?" she cut in, finally glancing at him. "Good. Because that is what I am."Lucas, who'd remained by the door, finally spoke up. "We have to prepare for the worst."Eliana shut her laptop. "What do you suggest?"Lucas stepped closer, his dominance reasserting. "More security surrounding your office and home. I'll have more people monitoring Nathaniel's moves. We need eyes on everyone."Saben nodded. "Done. I can also try asking some of my business contacts if Nathaniel's been doing anything unusual."Eliana sat back in her chair, still smiling. "Nathaniel thinks h
Eliana met his gaze with steady eyes, her voice steadfast. "I will be careful. And I will not surrender."Eliana arrived at her family's mansion, a towering building that spoke volumes about the prestige enjoyed by the Thompson family. As soon as she set her foot within, a stuffy icy cold glare welcomed her, and it was from her father, Benedict Thompson. He had already settled into the majestic study, whiskey in one hand and the index finger of the other performing a drumroll on the polished surface of the wood desk."Eliana." His tone was low, menacing. "Speak."She was standing stiffly. "What are you saying?"Benedict's lips thinned into a straight line and he slapped a paper on the table. The title leered at her in block letters:THOMPSON ENTERPRISES AND SABRINA- ULTRA BREAKS ALLIANCES WITH HARPER INDUSTRIES – BUSINESS WAR RAGES ONHer mother, Sabrina, lingered in the background, her face filled with concern. "Eliana, what is it?"Eliana sighed, facing her father. "Nathaniel was un
Eliana stormed into her father's private office, arms folded, irritation running under her skin. Incidents of the last twenty-four hours ran through her mind—the attempted kidnapping, Nathaniel's threats, and now that her professional relationship with him had all been a cover for sabotage.She was done playing his game.The door opened and Saben stepped inside, his jaw clenched and firm. He had two bruises on his jaw from last night's fight, but his blue eyes flared with anger."You require protection," Saben said succinctly.Eliana halted her pacing. "I don't require bodyguards Saben."Saben swallowed a bitter breath. "Listen, Eliana. Nathaniel is not going to let go. He's released you last night because he wanted to make a point, but next time?" His voice was constricted. "Next time, he won't be so kind sis.""I can take care of myself.""Eliana—""Stop it."Both responded to the door opening as Benedict Thompson stepped inside.Eliana's father was a major presence, big and tall, w
Nathaniel Harper wasn't angry—he was raging. The glass screen of his phone was broken, the pieces scattered across his desk like a symbol of his shattered plan.Eliana Thompson had caught him off guard. Again.William Harper leaned against the window, his eyes fixed on the city below. His very presence was stifling, his silence more frightening than any tantrum."She humiliated me," Nathaniel snarled, running his hand through his hair. His chest seethed with the sting of failure, something he would not have. "She played you," William snapped back, his voice as hard as steel. "And now she's a victim and you're the villain to the world. Clean it up."Nathaniel's face clenched in anger. His father never did think him worthy, and this night was yet another failure for the books.William spun, eyes flashing with something deadly. "I told you, son. To win, you don't fight clean. You crush."Nathaniel breathed slowly, struggling to think. His father was correct—Eliana had used the sympathy
Nathaniel Harper lay slumped against the cold hard bench of his detention cell, fists clenched at his sides. His arrest still seared in his blood. Beyond the walls, the world watched—or rather, laughed—as Eliana Thompson flaunted her supposed triumph.He seethed.This was not finished yet.The cellblock door creaked open, and the sharp sound of high-end shoes on the concrete floor clicked behind him. Nathaniel's eyes lifted as his father, William Harper, entered, his attorney, Richard Cavanaugh, by his side.William's very presence thickened the air. The man was a power, a controller. But tonight, his blue eyes snapped with something else—revulsion.Nathaniel rose, locking eyes with his father. "Father."William didn't reply to the greeting. Instead, he sneered, shaking his head as he advanced a step. "What a sorry figure," he spat, his voice bitter and stinging. "My son—my heir—housed in a cage, while that Thompson girl struts around as if she's already conquered." Nathaniel's jaw c
NATHANIEL HARPER ARRESTED—CORPORATE FRAUD EXPOSEDHis fingers gripped the paper, the corners tearing in his hands. His son, next emperor of the Harper empire, being led off in handcuffs like some street punk.Not acceptable.His office door creaked open, and Victoria Harper stepped in, the sharp clicking of her heels on the marble floor filling the air. "William, did you see this?" She dropped a tablet onto his desk, the screen still glowing photos of Nathaniel's arrest.William took a slow breath, laying the newspaper down. "I've seen it.""This is a travesty!" Victoria cried, striding back and forth across the room. "Our name—our reputation—is being ruined because of him!"William sat quietly for a moment, then leaned back in his chair, fingers crossed. "Nathaniel was irresponsible."Victoria halted in her stride, her eyes narrowing. "You're writing him off?"He chuckled darkly. "On the contrary." His gaze turned sharp, dangerous. "I built this empire. No one—not Eliana Thompson, no
Nathaniel's voice echoed in the room, his arrogance merely ruffled."Do you believe you won, Eliana? By sending me to jail? I will come back. To Sabrina Ultra—we are not done yet! I know you are watching this, Eliana. You don't have enough evidence. You can hold me for a couple of hours, but I will escape from here!"The cameras panned in on his angry face as the police led him to the police car. The reporters, starved for a spectacle, thrust microphones in front of him, recording each and every word.But Eliana?She just stood there.Unfazed. Unrattled. Unfazed.The press conference was over, but the real game was only beginning.Eliana stood at the front of the long, glass conference table, her team gathered around her. The huge screen behind her pulsed with information—live feeds from IT, remnants of Nathaniel's fake emails, and the financial skeletons still hidden in Harper Global's systems.Sabrina's voice crackled through the speaker once more. "He's applying for bail, Eliana."
Eliana leaned against the table, tapping fingers in contemplation. "And if we can prove him created falsified records, the case crumbles?"Mark nodded. "Yes, but we are looking for something concrete.Julia pulled out a folder and slid it across the table. "We have it."Saben's brow shot up. "Already?"Julia smiled. "Nathaniel made a mistake."Eliana opened the folder, a smug smile twisting her lips as she scanned the phony documents. "He relaxed." She glared at Julia. "You are incredible."Julia shrugged. "I had a little help."Saben leaned forward. "Who?"The door opened and a man in a crisp suit walked in. "Me."Nathaniel's old financial advisor, Richard Lawson.Nathaniel's second-in-command.Eliana's eyes sparkled. "Ah, betrayal is so lovely."An Hour LaterNathaniel was pouring himself a drink when his phone buzzed.Richard's voice responded. "We need to talk."Nathaniel laughed. "Guilty for asking Eliana out?"There was silence. "You should be afraid, Nathaniel."Nathaniel spun
Eliana rested against the table, drumming fingers in thought. "And if we can demonstrate him created doctored records, the case collapses?"Mark nodded. "Yes, but we're looking for solid evidence.Julia extracted a folder and pushed it across the table. "We have it."Saben's eyebrow went up. "Already?"Julia smiled. "Nathaniel erred."Eliana opened the folder, a triumphant smile curling her lips as she read over the fake documents. "He relaxed." She glared at Julia. "You are amazing."Julia shrugged. "I had a little assistance."Saben leaned forward. "Who?"The door opened and a man in a sharp suit entered. "Me."Nathaniel's former financial advisor, Richard Lawson.Nathaniel's second in command.Eliana's eyes glittered. "Ah, betrayal is so beautiful."An Hour LaterNathaniel was pouring himself a drink when his phone vibrated.Richard's voice answered. "We need to talk."Nathaniel chuckled. "Guilty for asking Eliana out?"There was a silence. "You should be worried, Nathaniel."Natha
Benedict's icy glare felt like a winter storm, chilling Sabrina to her core. Her heart raced with a mix of fear and heartbreak as she faced him. He was Benedict Thompson, the only heir to the Thompson estates, a man known more for his wild ways than for his business brilliance. At a young age, he became a billionaire and led BMX Estates, a huge architectural firm. Now, he paced angrily in his family’s luxurious living room, each step echoing the thick tension in the air.“Last night, you seduced me,” he spat, his voice sharp and filled with anger. “What trick did you use to make my mother force me into this marriage?”Sabrina welled up with tears, trying to find the right words. She had never seen him like this; in pain and disbelief."I... I didn’t trick you," she stammered, her voice trembling. "I've liked you since we were kids. That’s all."His harsh laugh cut through her, deepening his rage. “You think I would believe that? The wedding, everything—it’s just a trap, isn’t it?”“I’...
