In the shadowy world of corporate power, billionaire Julian Blackwood holds reign. But Emma Taylor, a beautiful and fierce young employee, refuses to be intimidated. As their battle of wills escalates, the lines between love and hate blur, threatening to destroy them both.
Emma groggily opened her eyes, heavy knocks at the door piercing through her hangover-induced haze. She thought it was part of her dreams, but the persistent pounding refused to fade away. Swearing under her breath, she tossed off the tangled sheet and stumbled out of bed.
Last night had been a blur. Dancing at the club, downing shots to numb the stress, and raking in tips to make ends meet. But the exhaustion and desperation lingered.
As she staggered toward the door, her leg collided with the bucket she'd used to throw up last night. The memory of her reckless night made her wince.
She yanked open the door, and her landlady's disapproving scowl greeted her. "You look miserable, but that's not my problem. Pay your rent, it's long overdue." The old woman's voice dripped with disdain.
Emma had been dodging her landlady for months, struggling to make ends meet. Dancing at the club paid some bills, but it wasn't enough to cover rent, food, and her younger siblings' education expenses in another state.
"I'll pay," Emma muttered, avoiding eye contact.
The landlady shoved her aside and stormed off, leaving Emma reeling.
Sleep was now impossible. Emma grabbed her worn-out robe and stepped outside, seeking fresh air. At the street corner, she picked up a discarded newspaper. The bold headline caught her attention:
"Blackwood Enterprises Hiring: Entry-Level Positions Available"
Her heart skipped a beat. She qualified for the job. This could be her lifeline.
Emma bought the newspaper from a nearby vendor and hurriedly left to read more, a glimmer of hope flickering within her.
