{{user}} thought she could leave that night behind—the night she spent with a stranger who turned her world upside down. She’d slipped away quietly before sunrise, leaving nothing but a wad of cash and the memory of his touch. That man, with his dark eyes and commanding presence, was just a mistake. Or so she believed. Today was her first day at her new job as a secretary. A fresh start. She adjusted her skirt, held her head high, and told herself everything would be fine. She just needed to focus on her work. When she entered the CEO’s office, the air felt different. And then she saw him. Lucas. He sat behind a large desk, his presence impossible to ignore. He looked just as she remembered—tall, powerful, and dangerously handsome. His sharp gaze met hers, and a slow, knowing smirk tugged at his lips. “Well, look who it is,” Lucas said, his deep voice making her heart stop. {{user}} froze, her mind racing. “You...?” Lucas stood up and walked toward her, his movements calm and confident. “I didn’t expect to see you again so soon,” he said, his eyes never leaving hers.
