He had a dark past he wanted to forget, and she also carried a troubled past she was trying to overcome and move forward from. Lavinia Bayer loves power and harbors secrets no one could ever imagine.

CHAPTER 1: STRENGTH WHERE THERE IS NONECedrick was fourteen years old, and in all those years of life, he knew only a complicated existence, despite belonging to a powerful family. Now, once again, he was locked in his room, tired of his father’s punishments. He spent his life trying to protect his mother, even though she had rejected and despised him since childhood. She never showed compassion, not even when he was punished for defending her from his father’s attacks.After three days locked up without food, Cedrick was finally released, though he was so weak that he could barely walk. Everyone might have imagined he would go straight to the kitchen, but he diverted his path, heading toward a room at the end of the hallway. Upon reaching it, he hesitated before turning the doorknob, as if afraid of what he might find. Taking a deep breath, he knocked gently on the door and waited for a response. Soon, he heard something being thrown against the wood and let out a sigh of relief."M...

CHAPTER 2: THE WEIGHT OF BEING She thought something serious might be happening with her parents, but it turned out to be nothing too concerning. They were simply unhappy after she had kept quiet about her decision to move to a new city and purchase a new building where her entire company would be relocated. While others might think the change was to help her business grow even more and make her more powerful, Lavínia was worried about far more serious issues that kept her awake at night.The visit to her parents didn’t last long. Bayer stood firm through the complaints she received from them. It was a constant—whether from her parents or others—everything felt like an infinite weight on her shoulders, overburdening her."Did I hear you’re moving the company to a new building closer to the city center? When were you going to tell us?" her mother asked, annoyed."I was already planning to do that.""When? Once you had already moved? Your father works at that company, you know he can’t

ChAP. 3: NO ENERGY FOR ANYTHINGThere were so many people around, dancing and enjoying the party, that Lavínia barely looked at her friend. The space where she stood seemed wrapped in a cold, unwelcoming aura, pushing away even stray glances to avoid attracting her bad mood. "Ignore her! Even if we’re her employees, today is the day we get to have fun without the grump scolding us," her friend shouted, trying to break the discomfort among the staff.Within seconds, the music was loud, and everyone was drinking and having fun—except for Lavínia. Still, even with everyone distracted, her attempts to escape were constantly thwarted as her friend kept blocking her. "You're not going anywhere—not before you see all the handsome men I hired from the modeling agency that produces the monthly champion lawyers' magazines." "How can a company that makes serious magazines work with this kind of service?" Lavínia protested irritably. "It’s a famous entertainment and modeling agency. Many of t

Cap. 4: Unknowns and AcidicHe turned by accident and frowned when he saw Lavínia coming towards him with a determined look and a half-smile, showing her skill."Ah... You're here? You found the room quickly. Why didn't you wait inside?" she asked, smiling awkwardly, staring at him with alarmed eyes, begging for help, while her friend watched curiously. Lavínia grabbed the young man's arm at the same time he tried to cover the phone's speaker."Are you crazy?" he said quietly, embarrassed."Just help me with this!" she whispered, getting closer to his face."It's none of my business, I'm busy right now!" he gritted his teeth, trying to push her away."Come on! I'm excited, I'm glad you accepted my invitation!" she said the last word with irritation, pulling him into the room. Zara didn't understand anything but shrugged and went back to talking to the other guy."What do you think you're doing?" he asked next, having no choice but to hang up the call, turning the doorknob to leave."N

Chapter 5: After the SlipWhen Zen opened his eyes, the sun was already setting. He jumped out of bed, looking at Lavínia, who was still fast asleep, showing no sign of stirring. He ran a hand through his hair, incredulous about what had happened. He became even more bewildered when he checked the time, letting out a heavy sigh of concern."I'm screwed..." he whispered, staring at the phone screen.He gathered his clothes and quickly dressed. Before leaving, he spotted an envelope on the floor near the door. Lavínia's friend had slid his payment under the door. He smiled ironically as he looked around."I wish I could see your face... arrogant woman," he muttered, grabbing a pen and writing a brief note. He left it on the kitchen table, next to a glass of water and a pitcher, knowing it would attract her after the intense night and the likely hangover she would wake up with.Zen left the room almost as if he were running away, repeatedly trying to call someone. Each time the call was

Chapter 6: Get Out of the Way!"What is she doing here? Mom can't go out like this!" Lavínia asserted, rushing to change. She quickly got ready and followed Zara as if they were heading to a funeral."She's in the hall where the party happened. Sorry, Lavínia..."The two hesitated as they opened the door, but as soon as they did, they found Lavínia's mother standing there with a neutral expression."Who was that man?" her mother asked, even before they could say "good morning.""He's someone unimportant!" Zara tried to answer."That's not it! He's not unimportant, he... we..." Lavínia stammered, unable to respond properly."We've been getting to know each other for a few months!" she said awkwardly, while Zara stared at her, petrified."You're already in a new relationship?" her mother asked, surprised. "I thought you were still with that scoundrel.""But that ended a long time ago..." Lavínia averted her gaze, mumbling. "Anyway, I'm sorry you witnessed this situation. How about we ha

Chapter 7: Connected Paths"Lavinia fixed her gaze on the man in surprise and crouched down, trying to hide quickly after recognizing him as the same man from the previous night.""What are you doing, miss?" the ambulance driver asked."Is he coming? He can't see me!" she hissed through her teeth."Actually, he's asking the cars to move aside," the driver said, keeping his eyes on the young man.Lavinia stood up and saw Zen a few meters away, knocking on the side of each car, telling them to clear the way.The traffic was chaotic, with cars honking incessantly. The ambulance's siren pierced the air, a shrill sound echoing through the streets. The driver finally managed to move as Lavinia watched Zen until the ambulance passed him. He hadn’t noticed she was inside.When they reached the hospital, Lavinia's father received care in time and was finally out of danger. At that moment, she sat in the waiting area, lost in thought, recalling the young man who had helped clear the way for the

Chapter 8: The Boss Becomes an Employee?“Good morning, everyone!” Samuel began his speech. “Welcome to Alpha Corp Advocates, one of the most prestigious firms in the industry. As you may know, such prestige doesn’t come without a price. We uphold strict criteria, and evaluations begin the moment you step into our company.” He glanced at Zen, who maintained a straight posture, his expression serious yet indifferent. “Now, can the candidate Zen Obedon step forward, please?” Samuel asked, unsure which of the candidates he was referring to.Lavínia’s heart skipped a beat as she saw Zen step forward. She realized he was about to be disqualified.“Yes?” Zen replied casually, walking past the other candidates with a nonchalant air. Most of the group struggled to suppress their laughter, already anticipating the outcome.“Well... you were late…” Samuel’s voice trailed off as his eyes caught Lavínia in the background. She was subtly jumping up and down, frantically waving her hand and signali

"Chapter 9: Cat and MouseLavínia felt embarrassed by her outburst, then sat down with a sheepish smile, apologizing to everyone, while Zen remained focused on his papers.'If she helps him, he won’t pass the test,' Samuel remarked, watching them closely.'He’s doing it all by himself without even paying attention to her. But I don’t know what’s going on—she’s clearly uncomfortable and irritated.''Relax. When all this is over, I’ll tell you. You’re going to be surprised by the gossip,' Zara whispered to Samuel.'What’s going on? Lavínia should be here in the front,' one of the men asked impatiently, standing up alongside two others who showed their indignation.'Gentlemen, you can discuss this outside if you have any doubts. I can supervise while you sort out whatever issue you have,' the HR manager said, prompting them to leave immediately, barely noticing his dark gaze directed at Lavínia and Zen.Once outside, Zara fabricated an excuse, claiming Lavínia had come up with a new meth

Chapter 10: Why Can't He Get a Job?Lavínia hesitated for a moment, furrowing her brows. A call from that man was truly unexpected."Alpha Corp Lawyers…""Spare me the formalities," she heard a calm but curt voice on the other end. "Good evening, Ms. Bayer.""Good evening, Mr. Romanov," she replied without enthusiasm."I’ve been thinking about your firm these past few days. You’ve been doing well, but I’ve heard you’re seeking partnerships in business. I’d like to discuss the possibility of joining forces. Together, we could be an unshakable powerhouse.""You’ve always rejected business partnerships. I remember a few years ago you even humiliated our firm, saying we’d never evolve and weren’t good lawyers. I understand we’ve grown beyond expectations, but that’s still not a reason for wanting a partnership, even if we’re advancing toward becoming a firm of excellence.""You’re right; my call isn’t without reason. In fact, I’ve heard you’re recruiting staff, but among the candidates, t
