Chapter 1

Cassie chugged down the glass of whiskey in one go and signaled the bartender for another. The bartender slid over to her and side-eyed her while he refilled her whiskey before leaving her alone. Cassie didn't blame him for judging her. She was a young woman in the bar alone who had been chugging down glass after glass of whiskey. She would judge herself too if she wasn't in the situation she was in right now. But alas she was in this situation and just wanted to drink it all away so she didn't care about anyone judging her. She picked up the glass of whiskey and swirled it around. As she did the images from earlier flashed in her head and she downed the entire glass in annoyance. She signaled the bartender again. "Just leave the bottle", she told the bartender this time when he came to refill her glass.Again, he gave her that judgemental look but dropped the bottle, which was all Cassie cared about. She poured herself another drink and downed it. She was feeling tipsy no...

Chapter 2
Cassie woke up with a banging headache. Her eyes fluttered open and she blinked repeatedly to get used to the light from the sunlight that was streaming steadily into the room. She looked around with total confusion until she felt someone breathing next to her. She turned around and was shocked to see a man sleeping next to her. She was frozen in the spot until distorted images from the previous night appeared in her head. She remembered haphazardly going to meet a stranger last night in his private booth and asking him to hook up with her. She looked at her clothes that were strewn around the room.Shit!, she cursed in her head.The man stirred in his sleep and Cassie froze, her heart beating rapidly, silently praying that he wouldn't wake up now. She would much prefer not to do the whole awkward morning talk that followed a hook-up. Thankfully, his breathing evened out as he continued to sleep. She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly got out of bed, careful not to wake him. She pic

Chapter 3
Damon smiled to himself in the backseat of his car. Adrian, his assistant who was driving, looked at his smiling face from the rearview mirror of the car and was stunned. Damon hardly smiled, what could have gotten him to smile that widely? It was strange to see."I heard the meeting went badly yesterday but seeing such a big smile on your face, I'm beginning to wonder if I heard correctly", Adrian told him and Damon immediately stopped smiling."What are you talking about?", Damon asked coolly."What smile?""That smile. The one that was on your face just a minute ago", Adrian insisted."There was no smile. You should focus on the road", Damon told him and Adrian pretended to be hurt."Oh o, and I was so worried last night thinking you were in a bad shape and I wasn't there to comfort you but it seems like you were able to comfort you all right. All my worries and sleepless nights were in vain", Adrian pouted."What are you talking about? If you don't stop talking, I'll fire you", Da

Chapter 4
"Sylvia, can you prepare all the files on the SCB deal and have it on my desk by tomorrow?", Cassie asked her secretary over the phone."Of course, Miss Cassie. It will be on your desk by tomorrow morning", Sylvia answered."Ok, thank you. Also,for the Under 30 gala tomorrow can you prepare a dress for me? I know it's short notice but is it possible?", Cassie asked her."Of course, It'll all be arranged by early tomorrow morning", Sylvia answered."Alright, thank you Sylvia", Cassie said and ended the call.She let out a deep breath as she replayed the conversation with her father in her head. She was anxious about undertaking a task as big as this. She was a competent worker, everyone knew that. She had undertaken and accomplished big tasks, cinched big deals for the company before, and won over even the toughest of partners but still, she had never done something as huge as this before. A small part of her mentally slapped herself for agreeing to this at all, what if she couldn't pu

Chapter 5
Cassie wasn’t prepared for this. The air in the grand ballroom was thick with power and quiet competition, but nothing compared to the charged tension crackling between her and the man standing across the room.Damon Turner.Her one-night stand.Her father’s biggest rival.Her biggest problem.Cassie’s breath caught in her throat as their eyes locked. Damon was watching her like a predator who had just spotted his prey, his sharp features unreadable, but his amusement was evident. He was toying with her, enjoying her discomfort.Damn him.She hadn’t known what to expect when she agreed to attend the Under 30 Gala, but it certainly wasn’t running into the man she had paid to disappear from her life.A slow smirk tugged at Damon’s lips.He knew.Of course, he knew.Cassie tightened her grip on her champagne flute, forcing herself to stay composed. She had faced boardrooms full of ruthless businessmen, navigated high-stakes negotiations, and built a reputation as one of the fiercest youn

Chapter 6
Cassie’s fingers tightened around the folder in her hand, the weight of Damon’s proposal pressing heavily on her mind.“You’re out of your mind,” she muttered, narrowing her gaze at him.Damon leaned casually against the sleek glass desk in her office, his smirk unwavering. “Not at all. Just a man who knows what he wants.”Cassie inhaled sharply, trying to keep her emotions in check. “And what is that, exactly?”His eyes darkened, something unreadable flashing in their depths. “You. The company. Both.”Her breath hitched at the boldness of his words, but she recovered quickly, shaking her head. “You don’t get to have either, Damon.”His smirk widened. “We’ll see about that.”Cassie exhaled, trying to push aside the dangerous attraction crackling between them. “This merger—it's impossible. My father would never go for it.”“Your father is a businessman. And businessmen don’t let personal feelings get in the way of a profitable deal.”Cassie crossed her arms, stepping closer to him, ref

Chapter 7
The silence in the conference room was suffocating. Cassie’s pulse drummed in her ears as her father paced the length of the room, his jaw tight with frustration. Damon leaned against the table, arms crossed, his face a mask of control. But Cassie knew him well enough to see the storm brewing behind his gaze.Richard Steele’s parting words echoed in her mind twenty-four hours.Twenty-four hours before everything her father had built was ripped apart.Cassie swallowed hard and forced herself to think clearly. “Dad, we need to see those documents. If Steele has fabricated evidence, we can fight back.”William Monroe exhaled sharply. “You think I haven’t tried? His sources are airtight. He’s not bluffing.”Damon’s voice was calm, but there was steel beneath it. “There’s always a way to dismantle a threat.”William turned to him, his expression unreadable. “And why should I trust you?”Damon didn’t flinch. “Because if Monroe Industries falls, so does everything I’m fighting for.” His gaze

Chapter 8
The soft glow of the city lights shimmered against the large windows of Damon’s penthouse. Cassie curled her fingers around the warm ceramic mug in her hands, the rich aroma of coffee filling the air. She still couldn’t believe how the past twenty-four hours had played out.She glanced toward the living room, where Damon leaned against the fireplace, his sleeves rolled up, revealing the strong lines of his forearms. He looked at her with an unreadable expression, his dark eyes filled with something she wasn’t sure she was ready to name.“I still can’t believe it,” she whispered. “That Steele just… walked away.”Damon’s lips curled into a smirk. “He had no choice. We backed him into a corner.”Cassie shook her head in disbelief. “You did all of this for my father’s company?”Damon’s expression darkened slightly. “I did it for you, Cassie. And I’d do it again.”A shiver ran down her spine, but she forced herself to focus. She wasn’t ready to unpack the weight of those words. Instead, sh

Chapter 9
Cassie’s heart pounded as she stood on the balcony of Damon’s penthouse, the cool night air brushing against her skin. The city sparkled below, a sea of lights stretching endlessly. But her thoughts weren’t on the breathtaking view. They were on Damon. On what they had done. On what they had become.She had kissed him. No, she had surrendered to him.And it wasn’t just a fleeting moment of passion. It was something deeper. Something undeniable.She turned her head slightly, catching sight of him through the reflection in the glass doors. Damon stood inside, his suit jacket discarded, the top buttons of his shirt undone, revealing the hard lines of his chest. His hands were tucked into his pockets, but his gaze was locked onto her, intense, unreadable.Cassie swallowed hard. She had spent so much time fighting him, resisting what was between them. But standing here now, the weight of everything they had been through pressing on her, she wasn’t sure she had the strength to fight anymore

Chapter 10
Cassie’s heart pounded as she stared at the invitation in her hands. A gala hosted by none other than Richard Steele. It was a calculated move, a silent challenge. Steele wouldn’t have invited Monroe Industries or anyone associated with it unless he had something planned. And Cassie knew, deep down, that she and Damon had to be there.“Are you sure about this?” Damon asked, his sharp eyes scanning the gold-embossed envelope. His voice was calm, but Cassie could sense the tension beneath his exterior.“I don’t see a choice,” she murmured. “Steele wouldn’t do this unless he had a reason. We need to find out what it is.”Damon exhaled and leaned back against the couch, his fingers drumming against his knee. “Fine. But we go in together. And we leave together.”Cassie bit her lip. “You don’t have to”He silenced her with a look. “Cassie, I told you before. I’m not letting you face this alone.”A warmth spread through her chest, but she pushed it aside. They had bigger things to worry abou
